Note for Democratic politicians: you don't have to start your condemnations of ICE raids with "We all want to catch violent criminals, but..." Just say "These raids have nothing to do with catching criminals and everything to do with terrorizing innocent minority groups."

Let’s talk about sedition and treason, because the most powerful yet inadequate man in the world is having a tantrum about it, and his soulless, spineless sycophants are boosting his message. /1

Do you really think a Department of Justice that lies to judges about grand jury indictments is going to be open and honest about the Epstein Files?

Vaccines do not cause autism.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

This will obviously end well.

I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.

Trump frequently demonstrates his disdain for journalists. He expresses his admiration for authoritarians almost as often. Today showed how intertwined those two instincts really are. My latest analysis for CNN:

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

"Experts have called the possibility of losing elimination status for measles 'deeply embarrassing' for a wealthy country with the medical resources of the United States..." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/h...

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🔥

So let me get this right. The #EpsteinFiles vote flies through Congress and the crypto market crashes, with DJT’s scam coin reaching record low? Sounds like some folks have a pretty good idea of what’s in those files.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) quietly shared state voter-registration data with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), despite earlier assurances to state election officials that the information would only be used for routine voter-list maintenance. Beginning in May 2025, DOJ

This is bullshit! What are the charges? 📌 Border Patrol arrested two women for allegedly honking their car horn to alert others of the agents’ presence

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Jared Kushner advised Saudi Crown Prince MBS on how to “weather the storm” after his hit squad slaughtered American journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Some pig

Not sure the point of deporting hard working people who fled awful conditions in their own countries and are caring for the sick, elderly, and paralyzed, not only harming our own economy, but vulnerable people who rely on this assistance.

Epstein’s brother has said this repeatedly

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me

If Donald Trump wants to release the Epstein files, he could just release them, instead of green-lighting the House resolution. And it's not as if he cares whether he has statutory authority to do a lot of what he's been doing. But he needs a law for this?

Trump’s freakout anger about #Epstein says *everything.* I’ve lived with a sociopathic narcissist. This is how they act when they’re trying to fight off shame and loss of control. He is deeply, deeply worried about something coming out.

Alice Wong, a writer and activist who was born with muscular dystrophy and who fought relentlessly for equal rights and access for people with disabilities, died on Friday. She was 51. nyti.ms/4r9WqEr

“Trump richly deserves whatever reputational harm and possible legal retribution may come to him as a result of his ties to Epstein. But, at its heart, this has always been a scandal about the ruling class as a whole, not one individual or political party.”

Hard, good reading by Jeet Heer www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Trump isn’t afraid of people finding out that he fucked kids. This dude mused openly mused about incest. Trump is worried the *business* side with Epstein will come out! He either got a cut from the girls who came through Mar a Lago, or he had his own thing going through “Trump Modeling.”

I wrote this poem about a prediction that didn’t come true in 2024.

All of this.

Without downloading new pics, where are you at mentally?

I keep thinking of how much better the world would be if 5 psychopaths didn’t have unchecked power (2 rich sons of apartheid & 3 world leaders) we need some checks and balances before they destroy the world while we all watch

I wish Costco could BlueSky Amazon.

There are lots of reasons Democrats lost. But Kamala Harris is not one of them. She is the best of America. Don’t gaslight me into thinking otherwise.

THIS There will be endless pushback & ⚪️ness think pieces on why voters won’t XYZ but they need to flip that on its head. When people finally hear VP’s message they like it. She needed more time.

Y’all, don’t y’all start stealing people’s shit on here and reposting it like you came up with it. Muting all 2025, PLEASE come up with your own bars! At the very least, share the original post, dayum.

“This is a lesson we all should remember and carry forward as we approach what’s about to happen in January.” @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social previews new documentary “Separated” on Trump family separation policies.

Lots of people are about to be really mad that price of eggs goes up but they can’t get a 2nd job because they can’t afford childcare and when they do finally get the eggs they get E Coli because there’s no FDA but can’t go to the doctor because they got kicked off their health plan. #FAFO

At least Hannibal Lecter went to medical school. He wouldn’t be a fucking antivaxxer and anti-autistic bigot.

The Democratic Party base is not gonna just up and abandon the Black woman who just proved she could earn 74 million votes in 100 days.

Tim Walz had it right

Damn that daft snake Nancy Mace. That’s all the (half-) assonance she’s worth.

fucking vile. fuck these people.

in 1999, rep. nancy mace was the first woman graduate of the citadel military college. she understands acutely what it’s like to break a barrier. for her to do this to incoming rep. sarah mcbride, the first trans member of congress, is particularly vile.

Yes. This. Each time I post about the hypocrisy I'm getting these kinds of cynical responses, and really, stop it. I get that everyone copes in their own way, but don't pre-give in. Fight for your actual rights. Call out the hypocrisy. Not to convince them, but to remind everyone else.

Has this not already been said? The reason the lawyer(s) for the women witnesses against Gaetz are pushing for release of the Ethics Report is bc he's going to retaliate against them if he becomes AG.
