Impeach Noem.

Really great 🧵 on tribalism, nativism, influence, the power of shame.

President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico: “You cannot suffocate a people like this.” Is this how the Trump admin plans to conquer Cuba? We are not at war with Cuba--not officially, anyway.

Here's James Talarico interviewed by Stephen Colbert on YouTube. He's running in the TX Senate primary race against Jasmine Crockett. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

As hard as they try, this admin cannot whitewash our nation’s history.

Today’s NYTimes Spelling Bee game letters are Barack Obama’s name.

Surveillance Pricing is when algorithms determine the price you will pay for a service or item based on something it knows about you. Entire 🧵 worth reading

Guess this is the most he's willing to do as former POTUS. Better than nothing.

The BBC World Service program loses its funding in 7 weeks. I listen to this every night. I've learned so much more about world events from their correspondents than from any US media. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"Norway Faces Up to Trump’s Demands for the Nobel Peace Prize" is the headline on the website. Good article but not really about "where Trump went wrong in his quest for a Nobel Peace Price [sic]"

Incompetence. Lying. Finger pointing. We would never have known about this new laser weapon tactic if FAA hadn't closed the airport down. (article unlocked)

Taking food out of children's mouths to pay for his security detail.

Gripping. There's no reason any child should get this disease let alone suffer complications and/or death from it when there is a very effective vaccine for it.

Clown show

"Faced with a choice… that pits the interests of millions of people against the wealth of a single rent seeker, Trump has intervened in a way that benefits the billionaire." "Trump… requires, as a condition of opening the new bridge, that Canada give the US more 'respect.'" 'respect' = bribe

Every time I see Pam Bondi, I’m reminded that she once refused to return a Katrina‑displaced family’s dog and then fought them in court for 16 months. That choice says everything about her character.

At least the people still know what's right. Hegseth and DOJ should be ashamed of themselves, but of course they won't be.

The coverup goes deep. We have to get Dem majorities in both houses if we're going to get to the bottom of it.

I am regularly asked what specifically blue states and Congress should do to protect the midterm elections. Here you go, I list and explain them one by one. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/its-...

You can be proud to represent your country and object to what the government is currently doing at the same time.

All this money would have been better spent increasing the administration of immigration & naturalization. Lawyers, translators, social workers, admin people, etc. But clearly the goal is not to help people find safety and work, establish a new home, assimilate into life here. They want them out.

A reminder that nothing is normal here. Kelly and friends should never have had a reason to make the video in the first place.

You never know when it might be *you* in the vicinity of an action. It's important to know your rights, keep yourself and your documentation as safe as possible, participate in democracy.

Every year since 1994, when data collection began, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they received in benefits from the federal, state, and local governments. www.cato.org/blog/cato-st...

The location Polymarket chooses will say a lot about whom they want to have best access to the free groceries.

Tongue-in-cheek thoughts on the fate of various Washington, D.C. buildings and memorials.

Note that this is not coming from research in the U.S. as the current administration has turned away from science.

"…Americans are losing their ability to distinguish between fact and fiction—and… fewer people seem to care about the difference." Hasn't this been Trump's goal all along, with 'fake news' at everything he didn't like? And all the blatant lies beginning with his inaugural crowd size.

This is one of the most important cases that galvanized Black people in the late 40s through the 1950s. Almost every major Black leader had a comment about it. It is also one of the most successful defense committees that was organized in the 20th century. Almost no one knows about it today.

THIS is what he's been going for all along.

Disqualified, but they made their point... "outstretched hands subtly saying in American Sign Language 'ICE out.'"

JD Vance to Miranda Devine 10/29/25: “it is totally reasonable and acceptable for American citizens to look at their next-door neighbors and say, ‘I want to live next to people who I have something in common with. I don’t want to live next to four families of strangers.’” Everyone is a stranger...

"Minnesotans — and all Americans — are right to ask why ICE and the Border Patrol have killed two people in my state in two weeks. The answer is uncomfortable but unavoidable. Either this is their mission — or they are operating outside accountability."

I would share this with a Trumper that I know, but they would probably respond that these are paid actors or something

Mark your calendar. Tell your people. Get ready.

Video analysis of Alex Pretti shooting from various angles. He was trying to protect two people from getting pushed, shoved, and sprayed in the face with some kind of chemical agent. For that he got sprayed and shot in the back.

Very deep bench indeed.

Rather than be an expample of behavior to emulate, the people in the WH have become the total opposite. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/u...

Here's the entire story on what kind of leader Kash Patel is at the FBI in the words of current and ex FBI employees, as well as other current and former gov't officials:

"...we can’t not talk about it [slavery] and have a proper understanding of who we are.” The current admin is fighting hard to suppress the full impact of slavery on our society. Even worse, it's trying to advance false narratives. It's very important to support these independent museums.

With Trump as chairman of this Board, it sounds like yet another vehicle for self-enrichment. And ploy for Nobel? Also very fishy is how Trump is not named as POTUS and thus could retain chairmanship after his term is over, and that the US may not be officially represented at all?

Fears at the time of DHS’s founding: -the government was creating an authoritarian monster -civil liberties would be vulnerable to abuse if the government began assembling national databases and an expanded federal police force Both have come true.

NYTimes gets this one right--good analysis Interesting tidbit: "once in 1943 when Knut Hamsun, who won the Nobel literature prize in 1920, sent it [the peace prize medal] to the Nazi propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels.

Simply awful. Inhumane, cruel, immoral. "Third countries cannot be used to circumvent the prohibition on refoulement." Our immigration/naturalization process is an absolute disgrace, leaving so many people in impossible situations. www.reuters.com/world/africa...

So pathetic and sad. He may now have the medal, but he will never have the honor of having been Nobel Peace Prize winner. And Machado will not be supported by Trump to be the democratically elected president of Venezuela.

It's this kind of investigative analysis that I don't trust the feds to be doing but it will be good material for the civil suit www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/v...

After ICE agents shot people in Minneapolis tonight, a crowd faced them down and eventually chased them away, despite federal mercenaries and police shooting a tremendous amount of tear gas. ICE agents abandoned vehicles in the area, containing IDs, paperwork, license plates, and operational plans.
