"It was not Hitler or Himmler who abducted me, beat me and shot my family. It was the shoemaker, the milkman, the neighbor, who received a uniform and then believed they were the master race.” –Karl Stojka, Auschwitz survivor

This just in: Counsel for Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie have contacted the judge in Ghislaine Maxwell’s case, accusing the DOJ of failing to comply with legislation requiring the release of the Epstein files and requesting the appointment of a special master. Judge Engelmayer ordered briefing.

How many Proud Boys in general in Minneapolis right now?

Maybe a collaboration of the two Swifts, Jonathan and Taylor?

I’m the one on the (front)left. We were heading to the nearest Michaels to buy supplies for our poster party.

Trump is compromised by Russia. These emails show that Epstein helped Russia blackmail Trump:

“If the descriptions of what our teams witness, see with their own eyes… — the human consequences of genocidal violence — are unpalatable to some, the fault lies with those committing the atrocities, not with those who speak of them.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/w...

"The plan includes the construction of “cities” made of containers (residential caravans) within the green zone, each designed to house around 25,000 people within an area not exceeding one square kilometre. These cities are to be surrounded by fences and checkpoints" That's a prison, not a city

Calls to boycott the 2026 Men's World Cup (either total or just the US-hosted matches), are growing both internationally & within the US. So much for Infantino's bowing to Trump on match locations & with a fake peace prize.

@rockvilleresists.bsky.social About 250 neighbors gathered on Rockville Pike and Redland Road on Sunday, January 11 to protest thevrecent tragic events in Minneapolis. Here’s a sampling of the signs they carried.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

ROSS And Duncan’s horses (a thing most strange and certain), Beauteous and swift…, Turned wild in nature, broke their stalls, flung out, Contending ’gainst obedience,as they would Make war with mankind. OLD MAN ’Tis said they eat each other. Macbeth 2.4 #ShakespeareSunday

Congress is debating the possible consequences for ICE and even Noem after Renee Good's killing apnews.com/article/immi...

Cardinal Cupich gives ICE agents what for on the steps of Chicago cathedral. Let's have more of this.

What has become of “that old Medieval standby, “the right of sanctuary “? Kudos to the cardinal!

January 6 was the dress rehearsal. ICE is the touring production.

Just heard an AI ethicist talk about how important it is that we say ‘MEN are using Grok to undress images of babies, children and women’ not ‘Grok is….’. Grok isn’t responsible for the action, the men enabling & using it for this repulsive purpose are. Small but important bit of linguistic accuracy

I'm not an attorney but I believe there is a legal term for this "animus" (hostility and/or ill will). To have this guy on audio calling her a "fucking bitch" after shooting her in the head three times seems like a dream come true for a prosecutor.
