If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Remember, the full Epstein Files are well over 6 million pages long. What you have seen so far is the *least offensive* 3 million pages. Trump and his lawyers are hiding the other 3 million pages—and have made clear that they will never ever release them, federal law be damned.

If you don't like being in crowded theaters, today is your lucky day.

The director of Melania movie

Oh, this Wormtongue thing is catching on!

Imagine weaponizing ICE, terrorizing communities, beating people, deporting them at random, executing American citizens, throwing this nation into chaos, all to protect your rapist leader. Republicans all need to fall.

Maybe it wasn't a good idea to elect the dumbest, greediest, vindictive person in the world as President.

Finally! At last the Senate Democrats took off the gloves! Now stay strong, fight back and save democracy

It’s pretty fucking wild that the DOJ is releasing files that include accusations that the President of the United States raped underage girls, to distract from the fact that the DOJ is covering up murders of US citizens by their own government.

Wouldn't it have been timely to include in this article that our new Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh is in the Epstein files? Here he is planning to spend Christmas 2010 with Epstein at St. Bart's - AFTER Epstein had pled guilty to procuring a child for prostitution in 2008. via @meidastouch.com

Kamala Harris warned everyone. Hillary Clinton warned everyone. I’ll never regret voting for them.

"It may take time to prove you're right, but you have to stick to it." - Fred Korematsu Jailed for refusing to abide by FDR's Exec Order 9066, he took his case against internment all the way to the Supreme Court - and lost. Remember him on Korematsu Day, January 30th. 1/

Justice Frank Murphy's vehement dissent, condemning the Court for upholding FDR's Exec Order 9066 in resembling "the abhorrent and despicable treatment of minority groups by the dictatorial tyrannies which this nation is now pledged to destroy" – is worth revisiting. 3/ #Korematsu Day

Terrorism is the calculated use of violence or threat of violence to induce fear, intending to coerce governments or societies to achieve political, religious, or ideological goals. It often targets civilians and critical infrastructure to disrupt safety and advance specific agendas.

🚨CAUGHT ON TAPE: a clip going viral shows Greg Bovino’s orders to ICE agents in Minnesota, saying “this is OUR fucking city” - and pushing mass arrests. He promises “trailers of that shit,” meaning tear gas. This is why people are dead. Share this everywhere. #ICEoffOurStreets

Gavin Newsom: “ You will not have a country if he rigs this election — you will have a president who will be running for a third term He is wrecking this country, wrecking the economy. He's a lawless president. Wake up, America — wake up to what's going on”

Bored, Rambling and Arrogantly Stupid. The new greatest hits band.

Playbook | CBS News is dangling buyouts to longtime employees. Will it free up enough cash to land Greg Bovino in a bidding war with Fox News, Newsmax, and Russia Today?

"I am Minnesota!" #Resist #AbolishICE

“These 9 people were killed by ICE this month and you’re throwing me out while I read their names. How fucking dare you!” @waltermasterson.bsky.social @davidsonboswell.bsky.social stevexnroberts @climatenate.bsky.social zivon_toplin @tomsuozzi.bsky.social is a YES TO FUND ICE !

I’m hearing from sports/cinema cognoscenti that FIFA has already decided to give Melania Trump its “BEST ACTRESS” statuette. It looks like an Oscar, only the head is a tiny soccer ball. And they charge the recipient over a million dollars (up-front).

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

After listening to a generation of Right-wingers bragging about how they're itching to stand up against a tyrannical government, it's ironic that the Democrats and Independents were the ones that actually did it.

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice." Meet 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐨 𝐆𝐨𝐧𝐳𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐳, an ICE Deportation Officer from Miami, FL (originally from Puerto Rico). Gonzalez has lived in Miami and Hollywood, FL. He decided it would be fun to travel to Minneapolis to kidnap and threaten people."

Has anyone been able to identify the “if you raise your voice, I erase your voice” agent? Because that’s someone who, for public safety, should be named and identified and warned about.

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL: When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

Bovino doesn't just go home. Kristi Noem doesn't get to ride off into the sunset with Corey Lewandowski on her horse. Stephen Miller doesn't get to order federal agencies to break the law and then move over to Fox News. Investigate, prosecute, punish. No one is above the law.

The Gestapo was Nazi Germany’s secret police (1933–1945), enforcing repression through surveillance, arrest, torture, and murder without legal oversight. Sound familiar? Congress do your job! #ICEGestapo #Accountability @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social

Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism. Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

The ayatollahs have embarrassed the President by executing more Iranian civilians than we have executed American civilians. by Pete Hegseth

Let’s have more straight talk. We are way past political differences. It’s us against the fascists.

The tired conventional wisdom of politics died in that hail of gunfire on Saturday. This is way beyond politics now. The brute force and absurd lies of a would-be American dictatorship have finally made people realize this is no longer left vs. right, but good vs. evil. share.inquirer.com/Bfrodd

Thoughts - I was fortunate to receive the Salk vaccine here in San Diego in the 1960s - for free. The vaccinations were offered in the public schools. My mother accompanied me. I am grateful beyond words for her accepting the science of Dr Jonas Salk whose vaccine went on to save millions of lives.
