Happy Winter Solstice May our days get ever more bright, even while we fight for better lives. youtu.be/Bevzbti__84?...

Can’t wait!

One of the MANY things in addition to bringing Trump and the entire right to justice.

We must operate under the assumption that EVERY redaction is a detailed account of Trump raping children. It's the only reasonable conclusion until he proves otherwise.

It literally meant just that originally. But like everything, they try and reclaim a phrase by using it in an opposite manner. It's like Trump and his followers do when they say "Fake News!". What they mean is real news that they don't like. It's a rhetorical strategy. Part of the propaganda.

Simple, it's called RACISM... "MAGA stands for "Misguided Amerikan Groupies Association" It's a Racist Cult. ⏳🏛🇺🇸🌊

Are we watching an AI revolution, or a slow-motion economic disaster? youtu.be/0wxBHxpMFXA

“…USA is a place that people fear… don’t trust … it’s no longer a destination… it’s a place to be AVOIDED.”

The thing about genetics is, these two mice are both females of the exact same age who have had the exact same diet and activities for their entire lives.

I’m so proud of the talented Leo High School Choir and all they are doing to represent the South Side of Chicago!

We all know Clarke's "sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" Well we have corollary:

I want to live in a country where the Nazi members of the Heritage fund are labeled as a hate group. Because they’ve done just as much to destroy it as the foreign billionaires.

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?

Keep voting #RepublicanPartyOfSuffering out until they cease. #GavinNewsom🤩🇺🇸

I have never in my lifetime, seeing such an undignified president. Joe Biden lives in his head. You know the Maga Republicans say that Biden did nothing but if Biden did nothing then why is Trump undoing everything he did with executive orders?

Storm Brann fails to breach even one of Scotland’s flood defences after 18 years of SNP Government but 8 500 fail in England talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/12/10/9...

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

Congratulations to Eileen Higgins on being elected Mayor of Miami! The first Democrat elected to this position in decades, she understands what politics is about: building a safer, more affordable, and better everyday life.

I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔

Has there ever been a more dishonest grifter in the White House? No.

WATCH: An ICE agent pushes away a home security camera as she approaches a house. This is what a police state looks like.

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!! No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

The rich can't make money if the average person has no money to spend. I've really never understood why they all fight against subsidies for the poor but have no problems with corporate subsidies. Poor people spend money at the corporations that they own. It goes to them in the long run anyway.

Something about the shooting yesterday doesn't feel right. It feels too convenient. A vetted Afgan national that was granted asylum, randomly shoots a National Guardsman near the WH for no reason right when the NG was set to leave DC because there was no violence. Now the NG is not leaving DC.

David Glosser, Stephen Miller’s uncle, told CNN his nephew is an “immigration hypocrite”: “Had we not been able to enter America when we did, Stephen Miller would never exist” (2018)

Renewables routinely generate more than half of U.K electricity. They also generate thousands of jobs, reduce our exposure to volatile gas prices, and allow us to stick two fingers up to fossil-fueled dictators. Leadership is knowing the way, showing the way, AND going the way…🇬🇧♻️⚡️👷👩‍🔧

This is how butterflies see the flowers.

How to get rid of Citizens United? We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way. Let me explain: https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get-rid-of-citizens-united

This is who she was. Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best. Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

Republicans admit their plan to double ACA premiums & throw 15M off health care is a disaster. Trump’s “big idea” — a one-time check of AT MOST $6,500 — won't even cover cancer treatment or childbirth. Health care is a human right. It's time to expand Medicare & cut drug prices.

A man pardoned by President Donald Trump for storming the Capitol was arrested on child molestation charges, according to Florida officials, who said he tried to use an anticipated Jan. 6 payout to silence the victim www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

I am outraged by the continued and expanding deployment of U.S. Border Patrol and ICE agents in North Carolina. This is not law enforcement—it is state-sanctioned intimidation of our communities, and it cannot be tolerated. Read my full statement.

Local and law enforcement leaders in Orange County have issued joint messages regarding the activity of federal immigration authorities in the Triangle. They also have provided resources for community members. buff.ly/d968vRM

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal". But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

The Sociopath-In-Chief couldn't be bothered to even turn his head in the direction of a man in the midst of a medical emergency who collapsed in his office. Completely incapable of empathy, the EPSTEIN Files can't be released soon enough. 25/47

Trump’s ICE goons dragged a childcare worker out of a bilingual daycare and preschool in front of children and parents. This is who Trump claims is the “worst of the worst” — a woman who has dedicated her life to educating and caring for children. The cruelty is the point.

I’m too old to remember when conservatives harshly criticized Obama for using executive orders. Now that Trump is issuing more executive orders than any president in modern history, Republicans in Congress are totally silent.
