For those of you who grew up after 9/11, we got along just fine without a Department of Homeland Security for 212 years. The DHS was formed to try to prevent future terror attacks — now, it is orchestrating them.

this is a subject that's near and dear to my heart 1. no you didn't, you retconning fucks 2. your decades of anti-governance "free market" "government never functions" propaganda paved the way for the complete authoritarian decimation of labor, consumer, environmental protections

MAGA 2020: I’m not carrying a vaccine record or wearing a mask. MAGA 2026: Show your papers to masked ICE agents and you won’t get hurt.

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power. They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

This is all over papers around the world. In the US? Not so much. Because for US media the only "religious" figures who merit attention are Republican Christian Nationalists. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

“The pro-ICE church is worse than you think *** Cities Church in St. Paul is the persecutor, not the persecuted” 1/26/26 … 1/ www.salon.com/2026/01/26/p...

This right here, direct the outrage towards Republicans in congress who have the power to actually do something.

Great perspective on AI

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

I think it's important to boost news of the general strike in Minneapolis today and it's possible to do it without the hyperbole that nobody in the media is covering it It may not be getting the attention it deserves! Posting links to reported stories is one way to combat that!

absolutely insane to see Musk feted at Davos as the icon of a boldly "optimistic" future in 2026, as if he hadn't just spent the last year buying elections for fascists, making Nazi salutes, condemning millions in Africa to death, and building "Mechahitler," and a nonconsensual porn/CSAM generator

Good to see President Trump arrive safely in Zurich. Can't wait to hear his speech. #Davos2026

if you vote for another cent for this you are a collaborator. this is a litmus test for every politician for the rest of my life

We are up against a murderous fascist regime, an unscrupulous oligarchy, a corrupted DOJ, a cowardly Congress and a supine SCOTUS. We have lost our guard rails, from co-equal branches to the fourth estate. It’s a lot. It’s past time to put all our petty differences aside and band together. …

NEW from me: Job growth has been functionally zero over the last five months, as the US sinks from a “low hire, low fire” labor market to a “no hire” one. That slowdown is hitting young & low income workers the hardest 🧵 www.apricitas.io/p/the-no-hir...

Mother of Karoline Leavitt’s Nephew speaks out after ICE arrest: I think what I would have to say to Karoline is just because you went to a catholic school doesn't make you a good catholic.

An entire federal government based on outright lies and dumbass Fox News fear mongering.

Court Reform: Breaking the Corrupt Rule of the Six GOPers Is Everything talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/court...

The current Supreme Court has forfeited all legitimacy. Democrats (and everyone) need to address that reality. John Roberts > Roger Taney. Court needs to expand. And have fixed terms—like *every* other supreme court in developed world. And have ethics rules, like all normal organizations.

I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

If you ever wondered what GOP gerrymandering looks like in red states with blue cities, I present:

Donating to @propublica.org supports a newsroom full of investigative journalists intent on bringing about real change through reporting on abuses of power in the public interest. They've done incredible work this year. And if you donate on #GivingNewsDay your donation is matched dollar for dollar.

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club." They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Trump’s calling for democrats to be hanged really makes me wonder about Epstein’s death again.

Blackout the system. ⚫️ We ain’t buying it. 🚫 This year—spend time, not money. 🥰

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

Hello @support.bsky.team why has @sarahkendzior.bsky.social been suspended without explanation?????

In a rare case of Substack notes usefulness, I just learned that Sarah Kendzior (author of They Knew and a brilliant writer) got bounced from Bluesky. What the hell? new @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

I’m proud to have a recurring monthly donation to this org for there fearless reporting on what’s really happening.

As of this morning, it is imperative that the Democratic caucus in the senate remove Schumer as Minority Leader, Durbin as minority whip and Cortez Masto as Vice Chair of Outreach. Replace them today with Van Hollen, Murphy and Merkley. Or anyone else who actually knows how to lead and discipline.

Loving this episode of the The Find Out podcast, nice recap of the democrats success in the election. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Chuck Schumer is the Paul Reiser in Aliens of the Democratic Party. Listen, motherfucker, I don’t give a shit what helps the Weyland Yutani Corporation, these fucking monsters are going to eat us. You need to get off your ass or you have to go.

Passaic County is 43% Hispanic. Donald Trump won it. Mikie Sherril won it by 15%. That new Republican map in Texas? It only works for them if they keep their Hispanic numbers. Good luck.

Politicians should probably get on Bluesky to get better in touch with the American electorate.

President Trump has been on a winning streak when it comes to the Supreme Court. But tomorrow, the Trump administration will be up against the high court’s other preferred client: the court's plutocratic patrons. @pemalevy.bsky.social breaks down the high-stakes battle in SCOTUS's tariff case.

This regime is terrified of peaceful people power. I support those who are demonstrating courage right now, so I just became a first-time donor to help cover her legal fees. Recommend you do too.
