After Marcelo Gomes da Silva was arrested by ICE on his way to volleyball practice in Milford, he made a promise to the men he shared a cell with: He’d be a voice for immigrants unfairly detained. He's one of Boston Globe Magazine’s Bostonians of the Year. trib.al/p9Edy6F

Representing oligarchs as working class heroes is a new low…even for us.

If the unredacted Epstein Files exonerated Donald J. Trump, we wouldn't still be waiting for them.

I wish I would’ve said it first, but you can’t argue with the truth!

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

And that’s why we’ve stopped reporting GDP and jobs numbers.

The US government is now a mafia organization.

Phang: Bove knows he’s not a regular citizen anymore. Judges are bound by different rules of conduct than an average Joe or Jane citizen. So for Bove to say that he was there in his “private capacity” or even his “public citizen” capacity is bunk and bullshit.

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment. They are openly saying this. Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

YES: Rep. Haley Stevens just introduced articles of impeachment against RFK Jr for putting children in danger — "he turned his back on science." 💯👏 Get him OUT.

Indiana failed to pass their map to help the GOP cheat, and another grand jury refused to indict Letitia James. Womp womp.

Texas Tech Begins to Collect Info on Race, Gender Course Content For each of their courses, faculty must say whether they “advocate for” or “promote” certain race or gender identities. www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

just going to reiterate this. if immigrants don't have due process, no one does. you can't tell citizens from immigrants without due process. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/if-immigra...

"The takedowns and restrictions began in October and targeted the Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp accounts of more than 50 organisations worldwide ... in what appears to be a growing push by Meta to limit reproductive health and queer content across its platforms."

COLLINS: You talk about 15 years of Obamacare. But that also means Republicans have had 15 years to come up with a solution and have not yet done so. ROGER MARSHALL: I'm not sure what we can say

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

"The complaints against Bove may get traction or they may go nowhere. But that’s not the point. Federal judges shouldn’t engage in arguably improper behavior and then shrug it off by claiming they did it in their personal capacity." open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

WATCH & REPOST! Home of the Brave launched this ad featuring George Retes, the US citizen, Army combat veteran, and father who was stopped, pepper-sprayed, and arrested by ICE on his way to work, ICE held him without charge for 3 days, and released him without apology. @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social

I wrote a single paragraph noting some (not every one) of the ways that Trump is getting weaker. It's a long paragraph. That makes applying pressure in opposition that much more important. www.americaamerica.news/p/trump-is-g...

Unless we get rid of Senate, Filibuster, Citizens United and gerrymandering calling America democracy is fucking lie, it's insane that companies have human rights while human rights are taken from us each new administration, fascism didn't start with Trump, he just used tools given to him

"You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They don’t need that many. And you don't need 37 gold baby carriages. 2 or 3 is nice. You must go without, even though affordability is a hoax. See? I've fixed the problem!"

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

Something Pamela Jo Bondi has expunged from the Epstein Files: anything to do with Melania Trump’s connection with Jeffrey Epstein. Melania knew him *before* Trump. Epstein introduced Melania to Donald on Epstein’s plane, where they immediately had sex. I wonder if she was procured for that purpose.

Bass: We had an important victory today from the courts. The court determined what we knew all along: we do not need National Guard troops in our city. We didn’t need them in June, and we certainly don’t need them in December. I’m glad a decision was made saying the president is out of line

Remember how they said the upcoming war in Venezuela was about drugs, and then they seized an oil tanker?

This new Politico poll should stop us all in our tracks! 50% of Americans are struggling to afford groceries, let’s start there. Then add the fact that we have a president who thinks we’re lying about it. I’m just waiting for the next poll that asks, “Does the president care about people like me?”

Whole of the American economy is now piracy.

The N Carolina immigrant rights group Siembra is teaching business owners their rights if federal agents show up at their door. While most can name their first and second amendment rights, far fewer are familiar with the fourth, which prohibits unreasonable government searches and seizures.

Truth.

This is INSANE www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/t... and these are our closest allies!

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
