Two men in ICE detention say they saw guards kill a fellow detainee. Now the Trump administration is trying to deport the witnesses. This looks a lot like a cover-up. We need an independent investigation NOW. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Ugh. Newsom is such a tool. I'm going to be so disgusted if he ends up happening.

It’s true…

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

At today’s Senate HELP Committee hearing on #mifepristone, expect a flood of junk science and false claims from anti-abortion lawmakers and witnesses. Don't fall for their rhetoric. Mife is safe, effective and backed by 25 years of rigorous research.

This is very serious. We are committing war crimes.

Should’ve been Never Again Instead, it reads like prophecy 😞

I don't entirely trust my cat. I mean, I don't think she would kill me, but only because she's too little. It wouldn't be on purpose though; she just has a messed up sense of how to show love. #Ouch

The people of the United States are in an abusive relationship with our government. Isn't it something like an average of 7 attempts before a woman leaves an abusive spouse? (Unless she's killed first, of course.)

Is there enough training to make an objectively immoral mission ok? I'd argue no.

Absolutely galling to me that the Department of Homeland Security is straight up using Nazi songs on its social media and everyone is acting like it's normal.

As long as federal agents behave in a lawless manner, I'm not sure I see the utility in elected leaders telling residents to remain calm and peaceful. They should be telling *ICE* and *CBP* to remain calm and peaceful. If the feds are unable to control themselves, then whatever happens happens.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Regime change in Afghanistan to remove the Taliban resulted in the return of the Taliban Regime change in Iraq to remove Saddam Hussein resulted in the rise of Daesh (ISIS) Regime change in Libya to remove Ghadaffi resulted in chaos and a decade plus of civil war 1/3

I guess one way to look at this is as the predictable endpoint of being Completely Full of Shit About Certain Things For Several Generations

If the world does NOT stand up to Trump now, he will continue to bomb other countries and kidnap their leaders to steal their resources. History tells us appeasement of a brutal fascist leader like Trump will only empower him. Will the world learn from history or will they allow Trump to repeat it?!

Maduro was a brutal ruler, it’s true. So is Putin—who Trump supports. So was Bolsonaro, who Trump supports. So was the drug-trafficking former head of Honduras, who Trump just pardoned. So is Nayib Bukele in El Salvador. MBS. Bibi. Stop pretending Trump cares about illegitimacy or brutality.

OMG! I had a Tammy Faye Baker flashback just now…

Trump has vetoed 2 bipartisan bills to make it easier to build a water pipeline in CO & give a Native American tribe more control over the Everglades Why? Because they don't support his immigration policies Trump is citing immigration to ban INDIGENOUS Americans from basic human rights like water🤦🏽‍♂️

NEW: Trump got a fair number of his judicial picks confirmed in 2025, but more interestingly, he was stymied all year by retirement-eligible judges not retiring, denying him lots more court vacancies to fill. “One of the biggest stories this year." www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Whatever you think of the bombings, I don’t know how it’s possible to write a full editorial about Trump and Africa and completely ignore the devastating DOGE policies. bsky.app/profile/bgru...

That time of year again!

The mere allegation that Trump may have been a witness to the murder of a newborn baby (after a 13 year old rape victim gave birth) should have even the die hard MAGA’s demanding the full files. It’s time. The truth will out. The predators must pay.

To help counter the anti-Muslim and Islamophobic disinformation from Trump and his acolytes, I started a newsletter titled "Islam Today." And today I wrote about Jesus in Islam, and how much Muslims and Christians actually have in common. Enjoy! islamtoday.substack.com/p/jesus-in-i...

Israel’s objectives remained unchanged, if bombs and destruction do not make Gaza unlivable, nature would be allowed to complete the job.

The White House is now citing "national security" for everything it does. Seriously, check out these headlines. It's just the last few weeks. If you know authoritarian history, then you know how menacing this is.

He's trying to steal Greenland again.

"These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless." - Sharyn Alfonsi, CBS 60 Minutes

Can an LLM press a flower together to dry it and be found 50 years later? I think not.

The US military continues to obey clearly illegal orders from this criminal administration, committing murder on the high seas at Trump’s command. More than 100 people murdered now. There should be much more outrage at this White House crime spree.

Riding on Amtrak behind a young woman with black-rimmed glasses who is knitting and gazing out the window at the snow. This is the future leftists want.

Since people got fired for quoting Charlie Kirk's exact words, I think we should all start quoting some of Rob Reiner's exact words:

If you read one U.S. president's remembrance of Rob Reiner today...

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago. His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship." He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

I just preached about the moral dangers of AI this morning in the same service in which we prayed for those impacted by this tragedy. Truth matters.

This weekend: •A mass shooter killed 2 at Brown University •2 mass shooters killed 16 Jewish people at Bondi Beach •Netanyahu killed 5 more Palestinians in Gaza, totaling 379 killed since “ceasefire” There are forces working hard to get us to hate each other. It is very important we reject hate

How to report ICE Agent misconduct. California residents: oag.ca.gov/reportmiscon...

ICE's constant cruelty and depravity is creating an army of people who despise everything that they stand for. Our rage grows every single day because we are so sickened by what we are witnessing. This horror and trauma cannot stand.

This is SO important.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Federal Government Announces Racial Profiling Campaign, Explains It’s Because of the President’s Personal Bigotry

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

AI is not a bubble so much as a blood blister.

A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.
