Saving this for former friends...

This seems significant: "The population of CBP agents and officers who have been arrested would make it roughly the nation’s fourth largest police department — equal to the size of the entire Philadelphia police."

From @timothysnyder.bsky.social's substack today: "Dragons, explained Tolkien, assemble huge wealth, appreciating only its quantity, but taking no joy in any particular object. They are, however, enraged if any one piece were to go missing, and would burn the world with fury." Sounds familiar.

Today's winner of the internet...

The America they claim they want... youtu.be/CnPcLkibmlQ?...

A new anthem for the moment...

One of the reasons I love Joe Biden, he sees the good possibilities for America...

Need to hang onto this...

Damn. Along with everything else bad about him, Trump is a traitor...

Please get this in front of a judge as soon a possible...

Yeah, let that sink in...

Without Citizens United and the Billionaire Bros, there would be no Donald Trump.

I am Antifa because I am an American.

I grew up during the Cold War. We celebrated that in the Soviet Union, you had to have papers to travel. Now in American, you have to have papers to travel to work. No, I'm not good with that.

The only thing wrong about this cartoon is there are not 19 more ICE goons...

What Trump thinks of our affordability crisis...

Update: NYT now reporting that 6 — up from 3 — federal prosecutors have #ResignedInProtest

Yep. ICE is Trump's job program for uneducated and otherwise unemployable white men. They get to dress up and play army without those pesky duty and honor values.

Loved this song...

Given Republicans have no balls, which bathroom should they be required to use? Let's get a ruling from the judges...

Carolina needs to working on rebounding. Big time. If they had rebounded, they would have finished the first half with a 20+ lead. #GoHeels

Carolina needs to work on rebounding. Big time.

Sure be nice if Carolina could get a defensive rebound. Wake is still in this with second chance points. #GoHeels

One thing I miss about Twitter (and I mean Twitter) is that you could carry on a conversation during a game. Not sure why, but that doesn't seem to happen on BlueSky. #GoHeels

Heather Cox Richardson defines fascism...

Bookmarked...

Duffel Blog got this one right...

Very good.

Thank you Elsa. There is no good side in this war.

For a $1B campaign contribution, Trump will invade the country of your choice...

Won't do business on our terms? Then we'll invade and kidnap your president.

True that...

Let's provide...

It's sad? disappointing? enraging? that Republicans are taking health care away from Americans... Republicans are willing to kill Americans to give a little more money to their rich oligarch overlords.

I resemble this remark...

Well said...

So Kushner wants me, a US citizen, to pay to build his resort from which he will make all the profits?

I'd add economic equality for a truly happier world.

Hmm...

From our hearth to yours, Merry Christmas!

I got to watch this live in beautiful black and white It was amazing what we accomplished in those days (and nights).

Homeland Security was the reason Joseph, Mary, and Jesus had to flee to Egypt.

Except for the light bulb and the bottle of bleach...

If only this redaction had been timely...

I think we can say this is the closest we will ever get to a Republican health care plan.

How to work one's way through the Epstein files: grep -irl trump /epstein_files

These are the dots that aren't being connected: Trump solicited a $1B campaign donation from big oil. The “getting land, oil rights, whatever we had,” refers to Hugo Chavez nationalizing Venezuela's oil industry. Trump is taking the US to war because of a campaign contribution.

Announcing the Friday Office Pool: what excuses will the administration give for NOT releasing the Epstein Files? I got "the dog ate the report, all 18,000 pages of it."
