AMAZING #nokings

Getting an Australian head start on #nokings with a protest march in Sydney! 🇦🇺 thanks to @democratsabroad.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy and @votefromabroad.bsky.social for organising! @indivisible.org @maddow.bsky.social

Please share widely!

h/t to @adammockler.com for pointing out this gem from 2016.

Here’s what it takes for wildflowers to thrive in California’s Death Valley, the hottest, driest place in North America.

Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."

Australia says a very big NO THANK YOU! 🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️

The FBI Director, everyone. You paid for it.

My uncle, Diego, was kidnapped and deported by ICE as he was delivering pizza in December. He had a work visa and was the co-owner of American Pie. This go fund me will go towards helping bring him back home, legal fees, rent and necessities, and support for the small business. gofund.me/d5a332ee9

Deflection much? 😑 Trump says he is directing the Pentagon to release files related to UFOs and aliens www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see. His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert. Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

Here's a link to the interview. Everyone knows what to do.

Wow.

#BadBunny's performers continued to dance and party outside the stadium after the #SuperBowl #HalftimeShow

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Insanity…

Imagine. Just fucking imagine. 😳👇

This is a MUST-READ affidavit. This eyewitness to Alex Pretti’s murder — who is too scared to even go home because she doesn’t trust federal agents — directly refutes what the feds are saying happened today:

Worth every second

Meanwhile, in Australia… summer road trip between Melbourne and Sydney on a stinking hot 100F January day…

Despite what we are often told, this line from Mamdani’s inauguration speech is what true pragmatism actually looks like: “Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”

Christmas in Sydney… the mood is somber but beauty is all around 🎄❤️

As it turns out, the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun *isn’t* a good guy with a gun—it can be a good guy *without* a gun. Just another NRA lie.

Mass shooting at Bondi Beach… multiple deaths … developing story

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.”

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

They’re not going after criminals. “Criminals don’t get up and go to work and pay their bills.” These are not criminals; they’re hard-working people. EVERY LAST WORD OF THIS🔥

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

Figuring today is as good as any to start a new book…

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

Happy Halloween from Australia! 🎃

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

Donald Trump has taken a wrecking ball to American Democracy. Figuratively and literally.

The most reckless, stupid administration E-V-E-R. Nothing comes close.

Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it, arrest everyone on board, interrogate them, and find out where it was going, where it came from, who the bosses are, and what the distribution networks look like.

Incredibly hard to watch, but so important to bear witness… 💔

The Onion Investigates: Jeffrey Epstein

🏆 How does a comedy show have the best news research team? @thedailyshow.com

Kookaburra sits… on my letterbox 🎶 never get tired of seeing the wild birds in Australia 🤩

Absolutely shocking

Life is very heavy at the moment. 😔 Here is a photo of kangaroos in the Australian countryside as the sun goes down… Take care of your heart, your soul, and your energy. There is much beauty around. ❤️

LA RESIDENT: “The cruelty is staggering. People are hiding in their homes from the federal government like Anne Frank. If you’re a Christian and you’re still supporting this you’ve lost your mind. You’re not gonna get a job because of what they’re doing. Absolute brutality.”

Yes. This! More of this!

Senators are ELECTED to be a VOICE for their constituents. What happens when that voice is stifled, thrown to the ground, and handcuffed like Senator Padilla was? We have a democracy, but we can lose that democracy. I took to the Senate floor to speak out—I hope you'll join me.

Devastating…
