What we’ll remember about this year.

This is because Nate Silver has 300K subscribers on Substack and Heather Cox Richardson has 2.7M. Mediocre men CAN'T STAND successful women, and even blame them for their own failures. Pathetic.

It Stays With You - Gator Days

They’re hassling citizens bc they don’t know who they’re approaching, bc they have no reasonable suspicion, and they’ve developed no probable cause. IOW, this is the opposite of law enforcement. As I’ve been saying, it’s essentially kidnapping, over and over and over again.

Someone vandalized our anti-ICE #nativity, but we came back stronger than ever. It’s a piece of living art, and we’re not going to stop sharing our message of compassion and love. We get knocked down, but we get back up again - better and stronger. Love wins - never doubt it.

🎯 CIVIL RIGHTS LAWYER @oliverma2026.bsky.social: “The detention centers are run by private prison companies (like @CoreCivic) — they make millions PER PERSON… that’s why they’re looking for anybody brown, so they can keep stealing from taxpayers.” *THIS IS NOT TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH*

These days ads for and media about AI feel like harbingers of the apocalypse, yet occasionally they get it right. Good night all!

“When this administration calls you a criminal illegal alien, what do you say?” karoline leavitt’s Nephew’s mom: “I’m heartbroken. I’m heartbroken for my son. I don’t even have a parking ticket… it doesn’t make any sense. I’m just as lost as you are.”

Seattle will move forward with its World Cup “Pride Match” on June 26 despite objections from Iran and Egypt over the Pride branding. Both nations asked FIFA to intervene, but local organizers say the plans stand.

But what about his daughter...?

Photos from Epstein’s estate confirm that Trump was far more involved in child predator Jeffrey Epstein’s orbit.   The DOJ must release the full Epstein files, not the White House-approved version.   End the cover-up. The American people deserve the truth.

ah yes, all workers should have the right to hurl racial slurs at black customers

This ridiculous new post by Strong Towns correctly identifies a problem - we build too many failing transit capital projects - and completely misses the mark with its proposed solutions - stopping federal funding for them and instead making projects small and phased.

The Virgin of Guadalupe, patron saint of Mexico, has led UFW marches since the pilgrimage from Delano to Sacramento in 1966. She’s still leading the way today. #WeFeedYou

In the last few weeks, I’ve become increasingly convinced that Trump and his regime are totally cooked. They can only stay in power by stealing elections—but they can only do that if enough people are willing to help them. They’re in a downward spiral and can’t pull themselves out of it.

Everyone seems to have forgotten how Liam Neeson said out loud that he wanted to beat up random black men after a friend of his was raped. Like not the guy who did it, just any black man would do. I stopped watching his stuff after that. I don't care how funny the new Naked Gun is.

📖 Word of the day: QUACK 🦆 Many kids today don’t know the meaning of QUACK, as in “this 🧠🪱 is a quack” or “ACIP is now a collection of delusional quacks”. A quack is an ignorant, misinformed, or dishonest practitioner of medicine; a snake oil salesman. The term has a fascinating history. 👇

I’ve heard from immigration attorneys that clients say ICE guards lay out the WRAP device (essentially a full-body straitjacket) on the tarmac as a threat — “do what we say or you’re getting the WRAP on the whole flight.” And here’s proof, from Seattle livestream today via @lalabote.bsky.social.

You might think from the headline that this is a story about a trans kid suffering medical consequences from a large drug dose but nope! It is just an interview with an estranged father who is angry that his child happily transitioned. archive.ph/Tmthz

Trump’s racial profiling ICE goons to 🇺🇸 citizen: “Turn around or you’re gonna get the dog.”

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

THIS NIGHTMARE WILL BE IN FULL COLOR

James Talarico: I got elected by flipping a Trump district. I've been able to pass bills to help bring down the cost of childcare, bring down the cost of housing, bring down prescription drug costs, and pass the first-ever cap on insulin in Texas history

Donald Trump has had a terrible, no good, very bad week. Amanda gets the review done with genuine glee.

I've been drawing Somali kids in Sally Forth since I first started drawing the strip. They're a big part of where I live in Minneapolis. As with every other immigrant community that's come here, it's what makes the Twin Cities great! 💚

📢 Urgent Action: CALL NOW BEFORE ICE MOVES TO DEPORT YUANXIN AND FEI 2 weeks ago, ICE abducted 6-year-old Yuanxin & his father Fei, separating them & refusing to disclose the 1st grader's location. YOU CAN HELP. Call ICE. Tell your reps to call ICE. Now more than ever, pressure is essential.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Another powerful morning on the picket line with my family, this time at our daughter’s former school, Fairmont Elementary. West Contra Costa County teachers are incredibly important to our family and our community. They deserve a fair contract!

America is working overtime today and it’s just 12:30pm ET

This week, Senate Republicans gave LIFETIME judicial appointments to more anti-abortion fanatics who support fetal personhood—the dangerous idea that a fetus should have the same rights as a pregnant woman. They're hoping you don't notice. I won’t let this fly under the radar.

Unsafe abortions are responsible for an estimated 13 to 40% of all maternal deaths in Nigeria, which has one of the highest maternal mortality rates from unsafe abortion in the world. These deaths have doubled in the last 10 years.
