“Do not get lost in a sea of despair.” - John Lewis #RIP

There’s nothing like the annual butter sculpture reveal.

I don't think their policy of murdering innocent mothers in the street is having the intended effect.

“You don’t want this smoke…”. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. #fuckICE

Poet Laureate, Amanda Gorman composed a poem that captures the raw emotion of our shared experience. A homage of what it can mean if we find our better angels. #pinks #bluecrew #momsky #edusky

One of the core purposes of right-wing media is to rewrite your memory and reprogram your moral response to an event you saw with your own eyes. George Floyd died of a heart attack. Jan 6 was a peaceful picnic. This process has already begun

​”You can't protest in a way that offends the right. You can't teach things that the right doesn't want you to teach. You can't read things that they don't want you to read. You can't use words that they don't want you to use but they love free speech.” • Jon Stewart, The Daily Show •

The Pedo in Chief threatened Iran if protesters get killed. Meanwhile in the USA three Americans have been killed by ICE for protesting/recording and the Pedo is like my Gestapo did nothing wrong

Expect to see a surge of proud ignorance and proplawganda about what you can say about ICE agent Jonathan Ross, identified by local media as the person who shot and killed Renee Good. In particular, expect a repeat of Rittenhouse-era “accusing him of murder is defamation” rhetoric. It’s not. /1

This.

Hmmmm….🤔

I can guarantee all the MAGAs shamelessly dehumanizing the woman ICE murdered by saying "she should have listened" have an entire social media history defending Ashlee Babbit for refusing to listen to a police officer as she violently stormed the Capitol to commit insurrection. Disgusting hypocrisy.

The only domestic terrorists involved in the Minneapolis killing were ICE.

If this is true, DHS may now move to remove ICE from Minneapolis

DHS agents murdered someone in Minneapolis today for filming them. Everything DHS did in L.A. happened in Chicago. Everything that happened in Chicago is happening right now in Minneapolis. It's coming to your city next.

Dude, WTAF.

Garcia says "I just want to be very clear that the vast majority of those Somali Minnesota are citizens and Somali-Americans have as much right to access those services as members of Congress," then uses the rest of his questioning time to highlight how Trump is pardoning convicting fraudsters

Trump administration: "The Venezuelan regime is so corrupt and barbaric we had to invade and arrest the nation's president!" Also the Trump administration: "We fully expect the Venezuelan regime will honor the deal we made to steal their oil!"

Last I checked, Article I, Section 9, Clause 7 of the US Constitution still exists. No one can spend money in the US Treasury without congressional authorization. This clause is central to the separation of powers. A president with unilateral control over government funds is a dictator.

Republicans were very clear during the election that this is what they believed, & that this was what they would act upon when in office. Editors & tastemakers discounted it all, because it was ridiculous. Everything was fine. No one would blow everything up for the sake of delusion. Now here we are

"Hard times are coming, when we'll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope...realists of a larger reality." Ursula K. Le Guin

@jaredlholt.bsky.social also wrote this comprehensive @dfrlab.bsky.social report on the online aftermath of January 6, as extremists fled the major social platforms into a broad ecosystem of emerging alt-right platforms.

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

Well said by, @willbunch.bsky.social .

This sets dangerous precedent that threatens international stability & security, puts Americans further at risk & infringes on the sovereignty of foreign countries. Congress must act & reassert its authority. We must pass a War Powers Resolution & stop this unilateral executive action immediately.

Really hope my SIL who swore that the black lady was going to send my nephew to war is paying attention today.

There is nothing more infuriating than people who are horny for war and refuse to acknowledge that you can despise a regime, want it gone, support the people who wish to end it — and still oppose the use of military action.

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela. Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law. Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

A compelling graphic look at all the ways that Trump and his family and friends have been monetizing the White House in his second term to enrich themselves more than any presidential clan has ever done before. @lazarogamio.bsky.social Amy Schoenfeld Walker www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Imagine a better world where the free diffusion of chip technologies across borders leads to new and marvelous wonders that benefit all humans.

Earl Lamont Smith was convicted of stealing thousands of government computers and selling them for profit. He pleaded guilty and waived his right to a trial. Trump pardoned him on May 28, 2025.

Pretty sure this is the best reporting I've seen explaining this youtube.com/shorts/f_l9X...

Whenever we're out of this shit the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau should be built into an absolutely nightmare bureaucratic goliath. Increase the original funding by a million times and hire thousands of staffers trying to fuck shit up for business.

ICYMI Trump signed an EO that blocks states from being allowed to regulate AI. EO’s are not laws — so call your Members of Congress and tell them the time is now to create legislation and stop these AI companies from poisoning our environment, sucking up resources and raising our electric bills .

64 days in Chicago: The story of Operation Midway Blitz. Our team fanned out to cover the before, during and after of the federal government’s months-long raid on an American city. This is worth your time to understand the United States today www.chicagotribune.com/2025/12/28/c...

Joe Strummer, gone 23 years ago today. 🎸 “.. Punk rock isn't something you grow out of. Punk rock is an attitude. And the essence of that attitude is: give us some truth.” #RIP @theclash.com

Bill Clinton demands the immediate release of any remaining Epstein files materials "referring to, mentioning or containing a photograph of Bill Clinton." Trump should make a similar demand of Bondi. (But by law, she should have already released ALL the files anyway, only redacting victims).

For those of us warning about democracy's potential disintegration, the decision by CBS to pull an exhaustively researched 60 Minutes piece, critical of Trump, is another red alert moment. When truth disappears as the media gets coopted by the regime, there's little left.

‘Hey Sarah, has feminism hurt wom-‘

You have to read to the 23d and 24th grafs of the Times story on Trump's big drug-price "deals" to see that they're basically hype. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/h....

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor. Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

1) There was no cease fire 2) The Epstein files will not be released 3) The “Warrior Dividend” is just the asshole putting his name on Congressional appropriations 4) The tariffs are taxes on us, paid by us 5) Venezuela is not sending fentanyl to our shores, and its oilfield were never ours

Portland woman testifies that police lied about ICE activity in Oregon when 12 to 15 agents surrounded her vehicle, and she called 911 for help on December 10th. "I have a question for the police. If you refuse to do your job, are you prepared for us to do it for you?"

Fani Willis has no more fucks to give‼️🔥💥🔥Listen as she goes scorched earth on State Senator Greg Dolezal (R-GA) who is running for Lieutenant Governor. He’s questioning her about bringing the case against Trump for trying to overturn the 2020 election. This is how it’s done!

No. It’s a great time to be a violent criminal in America. Our most sophisticated law enforcement agencies are busy hunting landscapers & housekeepers.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.
