No one misses Charlie Kirk more than his wife does.

Any candidate for Congress or President will need to explain in detail how they plan to eliminate ICE, purge white nationalists and reform DHS and CBP. A candidate who cannot convincingly answer these questions is not a legitimate candidate.

We have a mass shooting in America every day. Every third day we have two mass shootings in America. No one is doing anything about it.

Ummmm …. 😳

From a Russian editor at BBC news…

I worry Trump’s fascist regime will break our country enough to harm and kill a lot of people but not enough to inspire real, foundational changes in our political and economic systems necessary to establish a robust and functioning democracy. We need to reboot.

Given the choice between jailing Trump and removing Trump’s SCOTUS appointments, I’ll settle for the latter. Trump’s going to die soon, anyway, but his SCOTUS Nazis might live for decades and continue to corrode our judicial system.

I wrote this a year ago and it hit a nerve. It is still relevant today: Each time I have sat down to write something I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I cannot get out of my head. So, this week I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

I’ve noticed when I go to follow back several of the accounts that follow me , their top post is hawking a “Fuck ICE” T-shirt. I couldn’t agree with the sentiment more, but I don’t want to follow extractive accounts preying on resistors.

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

ICE agents spent Christmas Eve arresting a man in a Walmart parking lot—even taking his already purchased groceries for themselves. A bystander asked ICE if she could take down the phone number of his wife to let her know her husband had been detained. The ICE agents refused. trib.al/FwqJZki

It’s a fact that it would be better for Trump if he claimed and we believed the girls he was photographed with were actually adult prostitutes. America 2025

Trump and his fascist traitor goons have to go, but so does our constitution, or it’s a matter of time before we have to deal with another fascist wannabe dictator who is statistically guaranteed to be smarter and more competent than Trump. We need a new constitution and no more elections.

“Miss, do you agree with the sign?” “Absolutely not. My great niece was 4 months pregnant and her fetus had no skull. And because of men involving themselves in women’s bodies she was forced to deliver the fetus… there’s a reason God created medicine.”🔥 #ForcedBirthNation

Every time the world rewards Putin for being a war criminal nuclear proliferation becomes more likely and with it, nuclear war. There is no better time to defeat Russia, remove its nukes, and send Putin to The Hague.

If ICE can threaten arrest for filming, then journalists, watchdogs, and protesters can all be silenced the same way. You don’t have freedom of the press if recording police is treated as terrorism.  #holdfast www.cato.org/blog/dhs-pol...

America needs an Attorney General who: 1) will read a law, 2) understand what she is reading, and 3) comply with it. That doesn't seem like too much to ask, does it?

If you haven’t read, On Tyranny, by Timothy Snyder, stop what you’re doing and read it. It’s a quick read and vitally important. You’ll thank me.

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

Why would anyone risk themselves to go on 60 Minutes after this? How can viewers ever trust CBS News to report fairly on topics this White House is sensitive about?

The GOP is the DEI party, by their own bigoted definition of the term to mean, promoted without merit based on identity, because the GOP could not be a functional party without the Electoral College and Gerrymandering given its policies and candidates are deeply unpopular.

Murderers. And now moving on to killing American citizens next by taking away their healthcare. THEY DON'T CARE IF YOU LIVE OR DIE.

I’m not tech savvy- can someone tell me how to set up notifications for the moment Trump, Musk, Putin, etc., foul their last lungful of our air and officially become small piles of toxic waste? I’d hate to miss any one of those events. TIA

If I met Trump, of all the things I could say to him, I think my choice would be to tell him that any physical thing bearing his name, including any form of grave marker, will be a de facto public toilet for all of eternity, and I’ll personally use as many as possible, no matter how long the queue.

Anyone think the Rapey Regime is redacting the names of democrats from the Epstein files? Yeah, me neither.

@kenmartin.bsky.social Is the Democratic party on the side of privatization of all of our government programs? Yes or no? If not, please tell me what they are doing to oppose it.

saw a car with one of those stickers shaped like a cross but filled in with the american flag and for whatever reason this time I'm just gobsmacked. that is idolatry. you literally replaced Jesus Christ with a nation in the most straightforward undeniable way possible

The people who say white guilt over slavery is ridiculous because no one alive today had slaves are the same people trying to reinstate slavery and fighting every proposal to address racism. The US had two fatal flaws from inception- racism and a fear of democracy. Both must be fixed or no USA.

CEO is famously a grotesquely overpaid role in which rich white men reliably fail up, given ludicrously lavish severance deals uncoupled to their performance. Trump was never able to manage even that and has always been a joke to actual CEOs who use him like the tool he is.

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl. Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist. They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed. Another horrific story. More details below.

I’m a photographer. I own many cameras and I enjoy their mechanics and design. I love the process of making photos and the photos I make. My photography harms no one. I would give up every camera I own and never make another photograph again if it would contribute to a reduction in gun violence.

🎯 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*

Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.

If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
