I can't fix the world. I can't control the chaos. But I can fix my friend's brakes at cost, using Raybestos ($60) vs Honda ($240) parts. And sometimes, doing what we can is what we must do.

ICYMI: Today, the United States of America, under the direction of a mentally unstable president, attacked Venezuela, a sovereign nation, kidnapped its leader and his wife, and declared they are now running the country. It’s exactly as insane as it sounds.

Now that 'we' are 'running' Venezuela, what’s actually being done for the people? Over half the country lives in extreme poverty and needs immediate help. Millions are without shelter, healthcare, or protection from violence. Is anyone actually going to 'run' towards helping them?

Susie Wiles in November: Trump would need congressional approval for military action on the ground or other land-based operations in Venezuela. “If he were to authorize any activity on land, then it’s war, and we’d need Congress.”

The president of the United States attacked a sovreign nation and kidnapped its leader BECAUSE he was about to be exposed as being a pedophile. IF THAT DOESNT SCREAM CRIMINALITY I DONT KNOW WHAT DOES.

Trump and his cronies can try to dress this up, but it is an illegal act of war to replace Maduro and grab Venezuela's oil for his billionaire buddies. Full statement below:

Growing up the son of two cops, I remember what it was like watching my mom have to figure out which bills to pay. I know what families are up against right now, and that’s why I’m focused on bringing down costs and making life affordable again for working class folks.

When politicians bent to the will of corporations and decided the bribes paid out to them was a better choice than working for the people they promised to serve.

Mamdani will be sworn in at a New Year’s Day City Hall ceremony, with AOC introducing him— “For the many New Yorkers who have long felt betrayed by a broken status quo, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez embodies a new kind of politics that puts working people at the heart of it” —Mamdani

Actually, it's exactly the duty of an artist. To take a stand through their art.

Not the ball drop we wanted for the New Year. Republicans could have so easily voted to extend the credits. One year. Two years. Three years. They rejected all. Cartoon from the Washington Post

Hear! Hear!

Who agrees? ✋

Senator Murphy takes note of Trump bringing a Russian propagandist back to Nashville

Thanks Maureen! 🦋🌸🦋 Adorable meme!

Thank you to all the performers who are canceling their events at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America: 1. Break up corporate monopolies 2. Continue building union power 3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

There’s a reason the political right wants to keep people dumb.

Just a reminder “the radical left scum” took down the empire.

🚨 DAILY REMINDER🚨 Never forget Trump’s coup attempt on Jan. 6, 2021. NEVER FORGET: • The officers killed and injured • The desecration of our Capitol • The theft of government property • Trump pardoning his fellow traitors #StayWoke #Pinks 🎥 @mjfree.bsky.social

It’s satisfying to watch them reach their own downfall; all they had to do was keep talking until the truth became undeniable.

2028

So much class and elegance

Leadership isn't a gala with billionaires at Mar-a-Lago; it’s a surprise visit to a children’s hospital. Remember which one actually served the people.

My team would like to present to you… 🎅🎄Abdul's First Christmas🎄🎅

‘Intimidation and Coercion’: Emmanuel Macron Slams Trump’s EU Visa Sanctions Mediaite

Mockler: He said he grabbed women because they let him do it. You heard that clip, right? Abuse of power dynamics. Now that he's in office, he's abusing these same power dynamics to cover up the files, delay the releases, redact.

What we’re being told is that a guy who is an adjudicated rapist, who was credibly accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, who paid hush money to a porn star, who cheated on all his wives, who is mentioned hundreds of times in the Epstein files, couldn’t possibly be a sexual predator.

“Donald Trump is not just a failure at being President, he is a failure as a human being.” -Rob Reiner

Khanna: You’ve got the DOJ releasing the names of survivors—which they are not allowed to do by law—but not releasing the FBI interview files with those same survivors. Those FBI interviews contain the names of other men: Wall Street tycoons and politicians…

I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.

NASHVILLE - TN HS Dems Tennessee High School Dems deliver a petition to Senator @MarshaBlackburn to stop the just-announced government partnership forcing TP USA chapters into every school in Tennessee. (“to stop far right extremism”)

Massie said we’ll know it worked when powerful men face consequences. Until then? Read the names‼️

😕🇺🇸

A shout-out to Minneapolis, New Orleans, Cortlandt Manor, Little Rock, and Westerville. Incredible work this weekend. Tomorrow, there will be even more of us.

I remember this very well. He was right of course.

NEW: Statement from some Epstein survivors: "It is alarming that the United States Department of Justice, the very agency tasked with upholding the law, has violated the law, both by withholding massive quantities of documents, and by failing to redact survivor identities.."
