Stephen Colbert says he was told by CBS lawyers "in no uncertain terms" that he could not have Texas State Rep. James Talarico on his program. "Because my network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this, let's talk about this."

Read and share all over..he nails it

We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.

What do the powerful people named in the Epstein files all have in common?

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

Silly rabbit, Carterizing is for Democrats, since 1979.

"I love the poorly educated," Trump declared in 2016. A decade later, MAGA has manifested that love into policy. They're purging scientists from govt; defunding R&D; and blocking the best & brightest from around the world from studying, teaching, working, or founding businesses in the United States.

"We'll take our stand for this land & the stranger in our midst..." Powerful. Brutal. Inspirational. A loving tribute to Renée Good, Alex Pretti & the good people of Minneapolis. Plus, it name-checks all the villains: the Puppy Killer🐶, Pee-Wee German🇩🇪, the Orange Atrocity🍊💩 & above all: ICE🧊🚫 1/

“Elected Republicans could stop this tonight if they wanted to. […] This is a country of 340 million people. 16 people could stop this tonight. 23 people could impeach and remove Trump. if they wanted to.” - @hcrichardson.bsky.social on YouTube #FundHealthcareStopICE youtube.com/shorts/DekIP...

Watching Disneyland Handcrafted, because the world is a dumpster fire and Disneyland is my happy place.

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see. Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him. It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

California Governor Gavin Newsom blasted Donald Trump at the World Economic Forum, saying he’s “living rent-free” in Trump’s head. Newsom also lauded Canadian PM Mark Carney for standing up courageously about the fracturing global order, setting up a sharp contrast in leadership styles. Thread 5/5🧵

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.

Breaking NYT: The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter. The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status. That is a war crime called "perfidy."

AOC: I’m very encouraged by statements from Senator Tillis and Senator Murkowski, but it is frankly very disturbing that we are not seeing more resistance across the board.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

FYI: Judge Ellis (Chicago ICE case) noted in November that video evidence shows ICE "brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

A Civiqs Poll this week revealed that support for abolishing ICE is at an all time high among Americans.

“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

RFK: “Where did all this autism come from? It never existed when I was a kid!” “A Christmas Story”, a 1983 movie based on a 1971 memoir about a childhood in the 1930s: “This is my brother Ralphie. He has a ton of sensory issues and behaviors we don’t understand. Every family has a child like him.”

Merry Christmas!
