According to reports, someone was shot in the face by ICE today in Minnesota. It’s time for the state police officers and the state Attorney General to investigate and prosecute ICE. Call MN AG Keith Ellison & demand protection from the ICE Gestapo. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

This was to confirm the guy who ran the White House Medical Unit as a pill mill, and was also fired in a big scandal for mismanaging CIA's medical services, to run the entire military healthcare system. Not "he's qualified, fine." A nominee the Senate would have obviously shot down in normal times.

No, it was a successful coup. None of the people who led it were punished, and are in fact back in power, rewarded for their efforts to break the system by running it. Donald Trump is currently the dictator he attempted to become 5 years ago, and it’s because nobody treated trying as a crime.

Wut. The cops blew up half of West Philadelphia on live TV and no one gave a shit

Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst Article I constitutional crisis in 🇺🇸 history & then: These guys just get total free passes. Don't go to the press conferences unless you're going to ask why they're violating their oaths & not stopping the Mad King.

It's becoming standard procedure across all news media to explicitly not mention in the obituary of a Republican member of congress that they voted on Jan. 6, 2021 to overturn the election

other reporters in the room thought this was a mean thing to ask

becoming jokerfied

🎯"Your elected president is a megalomaniac dictator and it's your fucking responsibility to stop him."

"what do you expect dems, who have NO POWER, to do???" and then they do this 8 times a month

Harvard has removed a resident dean -- a Black lecturer in psychology -- for writing posts critical of Trump and law enforcement www.thecrimson.com/article/2026...

It is one of the very best movies, and also responsible for one of my favorite pieces of film criticism

One of the rhetorical tics for people opposed to defunding the police was that the demand betrayed a fundamental belief in the ability to reform and improve government but somehow this particular reform repeatedly proven to be effective never gained their support.

Has a court ruled on whether, under Section 230, a web site’s AI generating content based on a user prompt is treated as the web site’s speech? Seems to me it should be, just as if the site operator published speech answering someone’s question. BWEPRA

I am proud to welcome the endorsement of @uaw.org!

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Quite simply, any mail-in voter must now place their ballot in the mail at least ONE WEEK sooner than they might have in previous years...or be encouraged to return them in person, if possible. We need to message around this consistently from this point forward. www.masslive.com/news/2026/01...

This is how you do it. No preamble to swear to God you don't like Maduro.

Trump is a raving maniac who must be impeached and removed from office. Democrats must at the very least demonstrate to the world and to history that we attempted to do this.

We need to be honest with ourselves and our leaders about Venezuela We are a rogue state, a global pariah Trump is ruling as a dictator, period An axis of evil wants to carve up small, resource-rich nations The message for 2026 is clear: No kings! My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

Pls retweet @judithbolyard.bsky.social @anet2111.bsky.social @pinkmouse.bsky.social @happysnarkygal.bsky.social @carldownunder.bsky.social @cyynbadd.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/yKXhL...

By framing this brazen act of aggression in euphemistic terms, the media is falling in line with Trump.

“The calls for impeachment come in the wake of Trump’s overnight attack on Venezuela’s capital city over the weekend that left at least 40 people dead.” www.notus.org/democrats/de...

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

This is how it's done. If incumbent Democrats won't do the job, their primary challengers can and will use this to make sure someone else does

Congress, Now More Than Ever, Our Nation Needs Your Cowardice https://theonion.com/letter-to-congress/

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

I don’t love you and I’m not holding your hand: call your Senator and tell them that the must shut down the government on January 30th until this ends, a thing that Democrats have the hard power to do at this very moment.

Best thing I’ve read this morning, from a human rights lawyer in Mexico. Translation is in the ALT-text.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

We are a rogue state, run by a dictator, and the international community should treat us as such including all appropriate economic and diplomatic sanctions

For comparison, this is almost exactly the level of wealth that the new Trump tax law lets a couple leave to your heirs without having to pay any estate tax ($30M).

We cannot let this president drag us into more endless wars that risk the lives of American service members and civilians abroad. The attack last night on Venezuela was unnecessary and unauthorized. The President’s actions are reckless and illegal.

🧵 Big News: Today was my last day at work. I resigned to completely dedicate my time to trans activism as long as it's financial feasible I'll be writing a book debunking anti-trans attacks that falsely claim to be founded in "biology" and making educational resources at @beyondxandy.bsky.social

🧵FEMA workers are calling it a “New Year’s Eve Massacre” In the final days of the year, the Trump regime began issuing termination notices to FEMA’s Cadre of On-Call Response and Recovery, known as CORE. These are not distant bureaucrats.

It would be good for 20-30 countries to pursue this in the next few weeks

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

My dad died last night. Here's a story that came out today about his career in politics. newjerseyglobe.com/in-memoriam/...

If you are a resident of California, the state now has a portal where you can demand deletion of your personal data from 500+ registered data brokers with a single request form, for free. consumer.drop.privacy.ca.gov

I'm entirely serious about this: until you internalize the view that urban America is Real America, you won't see the urgency of structural reform of an American government whose fundamental structures so disadvantage its population centers—the great engines of its prosperity, progress, & culture.

one last time, for the road

Tatiana Schlossberg showed how climate damage hides in ordinary life, shaped by systems more than individual choices. In her final months, she wrote about terminal leukemia with the same precision—on interruption, care, and what her children might remember.

I don't always "get" poetry, but I get this.

The author of the study is a #phd job market candidate @melissadgentry.bsky.social and I can't stress enough how impactful this work is already. Someone like Zohran Mamdani could use this evidence to create more affordable access to transportation. Exceptional work. #disabilitysky #econsky

As my term as Comptroller ends, I’m proud of the work we delivered together and grateful for the trust of New Yorkers. Accounting for Our Term reflects our commitment and my optimism for NYC’s future.

There is nothing inexplicable about why some histories are not widely known.
