Sen. Booker: "I can't support an agency that is so out of control. They have been unwilling to even answer legitimate questions about their operations. I cannot support their funding. They're creating dangerous, unacceptable and unconstitutional situations in our country." #sheshed

Some might say we’re extremists or agitators, Jennifer Manthey writes. I say we’re in community.

He did much worse, but Scott Adams was once caught using an army of bots in an attempt to win a most humorous blog award we were both up for. I was still ahead when he was caught cheating and my blog eventually won the award. It really pissed him off.

👇More of this! Philadelphia Attorney General message to ICE: “If you commit a crime in Philly you will be arrested, convicted, and you will do time. Donald Trump cannot pardon you for a state court conviction. Do you hear me ICE?”

Arresting every ICE employee would get more criminals off the streets then arresting all of the people ICE is targeting.

OK, I lol'd at this.🤣

While kidnapping what appears to be a teenage boy, ICE abducted multiple legal observers and bystanders in a Central neighborhood of Minneapolis. 1/13/26

Please call your reps and tell them NOT to fund this government

today's updates: - I listened to the Supreme Court's oral argument in the trans sports cases so you don't have to - John Roberts and co continue to have their heads lodged, firmly yet comfortably, in their asses - I am very tired ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/john-...

Support Dems who are willing to fight and hold ICE accountable. Primary the rest. Have them explain why they support a lawless, masked agency that is murdering and terrorizing Americans. I'd love to hear it.

lotta Dems should be taking notes from Van Hollen on how to respond to the moment we're in

In addition to its internet blackout, the Iranian government is jamming Starlink to prevent news protests and crackdowns from getting out: restofworld.org/2026/iran-st...

Germany is planning to set up a joint Nato operation in the Arctic in an effort to dissuade Donald Trump from annexing Greenland. Germany and the countries in NATO are not Venezuela. Congress better reign him the fuck in before he starts WW III

ICE agents are stalking the streets of Minneapolis demanding that random brown people provide proof of citizenship. We good with that, America? I thought we learned this lesson back in World War II, but I guess not.

It’s past time. Shut Minnesota down!

Imagine being the most powerful man in the world and still so weak that a heckle shatters your composure. The presidency once symbolized restraint under pressure. Now it snaps back with middle fingers and foul language. This isn’t leadership. It’s emotional incontinence in a poorly fitting suit.

It's been well over three weeks since the deadline set by law and they still haven't fully released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

…the US president…keeping it classy 🙄

ICE isn’t arresting anyone “Arrest” implies due process under fair rule of law They are abducting our neighbors Words matter

If the GOP is going full Nazi on social media, then I expect Democrats to go full communist to rein them in. I want liberals ditching the silly quips and memes. Amplify content about the labor theory of value, seizing production, alienation, historical materialism, etc. and it'll restrain the GOP.

They choose Denmark over the United States! Greenland PM message to the U.S. As an American, I agree. #SheShed #DefendersOfDemocracy www.cnbc.com/2026/01/13/g...

Ansari: I think ICE is completely out of control, and there should be no more funding given to ICE. The funding that's already has been given to them through the big ugly bill should be stripped entirely

Jesus Christ Trump is just stupid You

In case anybody on Capitol Hill is wondering, the mood right now out here in the hinterlands is for Democrats not to miss votes. Especially since so many Republicans are out that Dems could pretty much stop anything with full attendance. We are paying attention.

NEW: Trump loyalist Lindsey Halligan accused a federal judge of abusing his power after he ordered her to explain why she continues to claim she’s the top federal prosecutor in eastern Virginia. She was legally disqualified from the role over a month ago.

Any business serving them should be boycotted out of existence.

Trump: "We intend to imprison any fraudster, politician, or public official involved in these sick plots to loot and pillage our country. Think of that Ilhan Omar. She lives in Somalia. All they have is murder and robbing. Pirates. That stopped. Same missile. Ping! That's the end of them."

Gallego: "What type of man decides to walk around with a phone camera & at same time tries to make life & death decisions, then decides to pump one bullet that may have been forward-facing, but clearly the other 2 were on the side. Who is he? Clearly not someone who should be in law enforcement."

And these were the ones ProPublica could find. www.propublica.org/article/vide...

"Apparently, if you have an unhinged would-be autocrat in charge of the national economy and so much business is wrapped up in government spending, the right thing to do is kiss his ass in the public square and say it smells like roses." Commentary by @johnavlon.bsky.social

The Senate unanimously passed the DEFIANCE Act today. The bill would allow victims of nonconsensual deepfake pornography to sue those who produce and distribute the content. It now goes to the House. @aoc.bsky.social spoke to us about stopping AI abuse in April ↓

Bad news: There’s a decent chance, perhaps as high as 11 percent if you’re unvaccinated, that some time over the course of this winter, you'll get the flu. Good news: There are ways to protect yourself right now — and even more promising, glimmers on the scientific frontier of a world without flu.

Hi Bluesky friends! I've been MIA for a while, but I'm coming back because I have some fun news... I'm helping the Astronomical Society of the Pacific sell/rehome their library because they are downsizing their office space. There are sooooooo many cool finds. I'm going to share as many as I can! 🔭
