Let’s rename it the Trump White House and it will close tomorrow

Daisy seizing her inner lioness

I didn’t see my effing shadow…

"Grim days call for fierce love. And Mavis Staples, one of the most enduring figures in American music, is laying it down." Delighted to have written this short essay last year for ANTI-, her label, introducing the new album to the world.

“I mean, God, WTF!”

“What verdict will history render on those many moments of cowardice and silence from journalists who fell into line with the genocidaires? What will it mean to look in the mirror and realize that, when it mattered most, they chose career safety and complicity in genocide denial?”

Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice Singing through the bloody mist We’ll take our stand for this land And the stranger in our midst Directed by Thom Zimny Edited by Thom Zimny and Samuel Shapiro Production Footage: Pam Springsteen and Thom Zimny

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Trump is coming after all of us. All of us who oppose his tyranny and brutality. All of us who defy his dictatorship. All of us who seek accountability and challenge his murderous goons. All across America we must rise up against this oppression, as peacefully but as definitively as we can.

Journalists, please remember that repeating obviously false statements is not balance or fairness. It is actively participating in deception.

Another murder in the streets of America by ICE and the Trump administration today. Every democratic leader needs to be calling for a nationwide general strike NOW.

Democrats needing to message on affordability as the country endures a brutal authoritarian takeover is tragic. Take it from someone who lives in occupied Minneapolis. Our problems go deeper than prices.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

On MLK Day, we’ll hear a lot of quotes from people actively dismantling his legacy, including the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. Dr. King’s work was never finished. It was interrupted.

Congress, do your meowing job!

And conservatives are against trophies for participation…

(NYT) - President Trump is now claiming that one reason he is pushing to acquire Greenland is that he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize, according to a message he sent to Norway’s prime minister over the weekend. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/w...

I am now convinced more than ever that Stephen Miller is Trump’s micro-penis

"This Week in Democracy – Week 52: A Year of Abuses, Violence, Corruption, and Outright Fascism" Capping off a year of Zeteo's project to document the ongoing growth of authoritarianism in Trump's second term. (No other media organization did this, by the way!)

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

It’s the Epstein Release Prize

Machado has Stockholm Syndrome

Ace reporting, @cnn.com. She definitely deserved to get shot in the face for this. You should be f***ing embarrassed by this headline.

Kristi Noem called Renee Good, the woman killed by ICE in Minnesota a domestic terrorist. But the White House released video filmed by the ICE agent who shot Renee Good showing her last words were a calm, almost smiling “I’m not mad at you.” Kristi Noem is a liar.

We cannot forget who was complicit on January 6th. Ted Cruz fanned the flames of insurrection. Ken Paxton provoked the rioters before the assault. John Cornyn refused to investigate the attack. They have forfeited their right to represent us in our nation’s Capitol.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply. I want to make sure this is very clear.

“Perform or else,” they say, as they defund rehearsal rooms, close stages, underpay artists, strip the arts and humanities from schools, and call the collapse of cultural infrastructure in the name of white nationalists “the arts for everyone.”

If you’re sick & tired of taking the high road, if u want gloves off & a fck you for every MAGA loving Christian then I want to follow you. This is a follow the lefty scum post- let’s all be friends 💙

Stephen Miller finds it impossible for anyone else to consider immigrants as human beings so he's happy to go on air and say "would those journalists host the people we deported for a night to keep them out of torture prison?" as though getting people out wasn't exactly the point of the reporting.

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love. youtu.be/KIxAKyioXng

“Let me state the obvious: Antisemitism is always wrong. Islamophobia is always wrong. Intentionally killing civilians is always wrong, whether on a beach in Sydney or a beach in Gaza. Can we not all agree on all of the above? Is that really so hard” - my take for Zeteo’s First Draft newsletter:

My thoughts are with everyone affected by the horrific attacks in Providence and Bondi Beach this weekend. In moments of fear and darkness, students helped each other shelter. Bystanders disarmed gunmen. May we build a world where such acts of heroism are no longer necessary.

Utter madness. They lie as they breathe.

Epstein survivors just dropped a powerful message for Congress, and it hits like a warning: no more waiting, the truth is coming, ready or not. Watch till the end @housedemocrats.bsky.social @houserepublicans.bsky.social
