My anger at having to stand outside my kid’s school for two hours to ensure none of their classmates, parents, or teachers get kidnapped by my own government is only slightly tempered by the amazing outpouring of support from other parents and especially neighbors who stand against this bullshit.

Receipts are rough! Why did you vote to expand the funding/power of ICE @ericswalwell.bsky.social? You’re great at snark talk and snazzy videos but your action are what MATTER. Fellow Californians, remember this when voting for governor, cuz your vote matters too!

I refuse to behave like armed agents killing unarmed folks in the middle of the street is business-as-usual. I refuse to pretend that these acts are meant to "serve and protect" us. This is state-sanctioned terror and repression. I understand that my justified, indignant rage matters.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Straight, no chaser. Thank you @chrislhayes.bsky.social.

This was my exact thought when I saw the horrifying footage. They hauled her like this for half a block BEFORE attempting CPR, only doing so after they set her down around a corner, as if to hide from the scene. Straight up mob. I can’t imagine her partner. Fight like hell. Justice for Renee

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

What do these companies have in common? -Cigna -Comcast -General Mills -Allstate -Marriott -Hilton -Walmart -Amazon -Microsoft -Meta All promised after January 6, 2021 to stop funding lawmakers who tried to overturn the 2020 election. And all have broken that promise.

You know that saying, it’s not like I was born yesterday - unless you are these adorable Opal Legbar chicks!! We welcomed these tiny bundles of pullet joy into our house today, some light in these dark times.

Impeach, convict, remove.

The U.S. currency of ICE and oil is way up today in the markets, during a climate and constitutional crisis, simply to fuel the greed and fragile ego of an unconscionably immoral failing floundering president. Fight. Like. Hell. 💪🏼

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

Video from the port city of La Guaira shows the aftermath of explosions that took place across Venezuela on early Saturday morning. President Maduro has declared a state of emergency after accusing the US of striking the country.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and Rawa Duwaji on Inauguration Day, January 1, 2035, NYC City Hall! More pictures coming soon - I took a bunch and everyone was beautiful! Happy New Year, friends. We're gonna win.

I’m not alone in saying 2025 was the most professionally devastating year of my life. What generates hope is how ppl are using their expertise to reimagine, organize & fight like hell. Shout out to @karenattiah.bsky.social, @kattenbarge.bsky.social, @marisakabas.bsky.social + many others. LFG 2026!

It has been The Onion's best year since we broke Watergate and subsequently, personally had Richard Nixon removed from office. I'm going to share some personal favorite stories in this thread. Please add your own, and visit the Our Annual Year recap below. theonion.com/our-annual-y...

I wrote this for the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, didn’t realize it got published! It’s from my time in wetland ecology; a reminder that the govt failing the most vulnerable is not new, nor is the attack on science. Will the mass movements of today lead to sustainable change? I hope so…

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Our journalists are joining nearly 40 scientists on an expedition to Antarctica’s fastest-melting glaciers. Getting there will require taking a helicopter over icy seas. What do you want to know — about the trip, the glaciers, the research? Send your questions: trib.al/rdYRyO0

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

I think a lot about hope in my climate justice work. Recently I got to hear the legend Angela Davis speak. She said hope is not something we find or search for, hope is something we GENERATE together. Holidays and beyond, here’s to building the world we deserve, together💪🏼🫶🏼. Broadcast 12/28,30,31 ⬇️

Yes. That’s why I say “don’t stop commenting” on SCOTUS decisions and practices. It matters.

I'll think I'm used to seeing men wield sexual violence as a tool to reinforce their power, but it still manages to take my breath away. That's how I felt reading Epstein's letter to Larry Nassar about Trump. It's so transparent. So sick and twisted. And it's tolerated by far too many.

it’s really fucking cool to see people working outside the system to expose the hacks running all of our crumbling institutions

Wait, they legit just color blocked the text and all you need to do is copy paste?!! Did they at least change the font from WOKE CALIBRI??!!!

“These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless.” Sharyn Alfonsi speaking truth to power, let’s go!💪🏼

When San Francisco realizes there are Waymo autonomous vehicles than ever should be reasonably released upon a city…..

Friendly reminder to take a deep breath. Had no idea sorting sea glass from my weekly beach adventures with my boys could possibly be so therapeutic. Look at all the color variations!

“We religious people talk about virtue so much you’d think we’d behave better than nonreligious people. But that’s not been my experience…I’ve seen religious people behaving more viciously, more dishonestly, and, in some ways, being more tolerant of sexual abuse.” David Brooks, Dec 19, 2024, no joke

It couldn’t possibly be the decades long devaluing/underfunding of public education or the snick above poverty line teacher salaries or the gutting of STEM education research, or AI interference, or the demolishing of the literal federal DOE…..right?!

The Onion, 23 years ago. theonion.com/no-blood-for...

Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

And cutting every social service imaginable (e.g. child nutrition, food stamps, Medicaid) so that amazing progress in closing education, healthcare, poverty etc etc gaps was immediately and irreparably eroded forever

“But their hatred is a story, a myth, and we can choose to reject it…” Let’s go @aoc.bsky.social! 🙌🏼🫶🏼 Our choices are OUR POWER!💪🏼

Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.

I can’t handle the Truth Social post from Trump about Rob Reiner

The idea of framing this vainglorious billionaire lot as modern day versions of the gritty, hard-bitten, working class, manual laborers who, for a pittance of wages, risked their lives and used their hands to make real the skyscraper dreams of the wealthy and middle classes is….lunacy.

If this is surprising news to you, please listen to this interview with Chris Wylie the Cambridge Analytica whistleblower who details how Steve Bannon took over (CA) and along with Facebook (now Meta) laid the foundation for trump 2016 + white nationalist takeover.

If Indiana legislators hold firm on their conscience today, it will among other things be a much-needed rejection of the idea that you can get your way on policy through bullying, intimidation, and threats.
