Haha. Yikes!

Beautiful!

Violence has no place in America. Michelle and I are praying for the servicemembers shot in Washington, DC today, and send our love to their families as they enter this holiday season under the most tragic of circumstances.

Congratulations, @brianstelter.bsky.social

Anne Frank & Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. were born in 1929. Viola Fletcher, who just died this week, was already 15 when they were born. But while we were just with Ms. Fletcher days ago, Anne Frank & Dr King are portrayed as ancient history. Remember, "The past is never dead. It's not even past.”

Good thing there wasn’t a corrupt Big Ozone able to prevent this recovery from happening, or a corrupt president in the pocket of Big Ozone pretending the problem wasn’t real.

In two years, Israel has killed more than 1,000 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Every day, settlers attack Palestinian villages. Netanyahu & his extremist allies have one goal: annexation by force. The U.S. has enabled them. NO MORE U.S. MILITARY AID FOR ISRAEL.

Meet CDC's newest quack making a splash. Best known for ending Louisiana's state health department’s mass vaccination campaigns, hopping on the pro-ivermectin train, and calling the Covid vax "dangerous," Dr. Ralph Lee Abraham is now second in command at the CDC. #impeachthequack zurl.co/xTJNp

The entire world can clearly see that Putin owns Steve Witkoff and yet Witkoff is the one that Trump wants leading the negotiations on a peace deal. If Putin owns Witkoff, and Trump doesn’t care, that means Putin owns Trump - either directly, by proxy, or by stupidity.

This is really bad news for him. It’s a “three bottles of ketchup on the wall” type of bad news.

Wow

Omg, he's an idiot

We are in the heyday of traitors being easy to spot. If the Putin-fluffing bootlicker had a shred of dignity he would resign, but then, if he had a shred of dignity, he wouldn't be fluffing Putin. #FuckoffWitkoff

Ding dong, DOGE is dead. Donald Trump invited an unelected, erratic, and unaccountable billionaire to comb through our personal data and hack our government to pieces. DOGE was an unlawful utter disaster, and that’s why we sued. #DOGE #Connecticut

Louisiana's surgeon general Dr. Ralph Abraham, who has praised Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s tenure as health secretary and called COVID vaccines "dangerous," will become the second-highest ranking official at the CDC. n.pr/49Af0z8

93 years ago, Stalin instituted a man-made famine in Ukraine to break its resistance to Soviet occupation, killing millions. Now, Putin’s war and weaponization of hunger once again threaten Ukrainians' survival. We honor the victims of Stalin's famine by supporting Ukraine today.

We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way to get rid of Citizens United. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get-rid-of-citizens-united

Elon Musk & Doge Stole Your Data - The Shocking Truth: Elon Musk and his DOGE team stole your personal data, spending millions to influence elections and crippling regulatory oversight of his businesses. What did we get? $1 Trillion more national debt and a report from Oxfam that DOGE cuts have…

“You can’t have a political party that hates everyone except white people who like Hitler..." “I don’t think we’re at that point,” she added, but “there is a battle.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/23/u...

And stole a massive amount of Americans' data.

Their anti-intellectualism and misogyny are on full display.

Quick witted, smart as a whip and funny as hell, Connecticut state Rep. Kevin Ryan will be missed.

"Influential pro-Trump X accounts that appeared to be U.S-based but actually operate from Eastern Europe, Asia, or Africa have spread 31 false claims about U.S. and global politics in the last 15 months," according to @newsguard.bsky.social www.newsguardrealitycheck.com/p/influentia...

In an extraordinary journey, a Palestinian man used a jet ski to cross the Mediterranean Sea and reach Europe after he fled the war in Gaza.

We’re about to invade Venezuela because trump wants their oil. No other reason. The airspace has been cleared. Embassies are being evacuated. Flights are being canceled. He’s going to kill people for oil.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

A new feature on Elon Musk’s X has given surprising new insight into the online “America First” movement.

DOGE is officially disbanding 8 months ahead of schedule, right as MTG, chair of DOGE oversight, announced her resignation. DOGE cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars & is estimated to have caused the deaths of 300k children. Who’s going to answer for this?

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

The revelations (that we all basically knew) that some of the largest MAGA influencers on social media are paid trolls from other parts of the world is exactly why I don't debate these Internet bros online. Like Toni Morrison said, the very purpose of racism is distraction. Don't fall for it.

Not that anyone asked, but the country with the World's lowest life expectancy (Chad) has a higher life expectancy than the country with the highest life expectancy 120 yrs ago (Sweden). Think Science and especially Medicine has somehow failed you? Think again. #ScienceMatters

"The unemployment rate has reached a four-year high, job openings are at a four-year low, and leading members of Trump’s own economic team have gone so far as to concede in recent weeks that parts of the U.S. economy are already in recession..." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

"Here’s what we don’t say out loud: There’s no money in journalism anymore. No fame, no glamour, no prestige. But there’s lots and lots of money in media—in being a brand, an influencer, a personality. We stopped paying journalists and started rewarding performers."

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

Foreclosure filings rose 19 percent from a year earlier, extending an eight-month climb that reflects growing financial pressure amid record household debt and rising delinquencies. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/us-foreclo...

EXPLOSIVE: The late President George H.W. Bush told a federal official that an alien made contact with humans at Holloman Air Force Base in 1964, according to an explosive new documentary. Astrophysicist Eric Davis claimed Bush confirmed details of contact between the military and an alien creature.

What an idiot.

It certainly appears that the United States government is run by neo-Nazis.

also we now have a “whites only” refugee policy. they aren’t trying to hide the white supremacy anymore. it’s overt and mainstream.
