A quick reminder since Starfleet Academy was just released. "Star Trek has gone full DEI." Yes, it has, and it went full DEI, .. umm... (checks notes) September 8, 1966, and has never looked back.

A disabled woman trying to drive to a doctor's appointment had agents break her window and drag her out of her car. A peaceful observer on scene was tackled and had his face pressed into the concrete, a State Rep. was shoved and multiple others safely observing were needlessly pepper sprayed.

Kristi Noem has been a complete and total failure at her job. She has violated her oath and has allowed ICE agents to terrorize our communities. That’s why I’m joining @robinkelly.house.gov in calling for her impeachment. We deserve better, she’s gotta go.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Donald Trump is scared out of his mind that Republicans are going to lose the House in the midterms, if not sooner given how fast things are unraveling, which is why he’s accelerating his authoritarian and fascist plans at a pace we’ve never seen before. This isn’t confidence, it’s panic.

Let us all stand with Chairman Powell.

Amazing win for Chicago. Caleb is the truth. Packers coaches gonna get a lot of smoke next week for this one…

There's this episode of Star Trek where Captain Picard is captured and tortured, and the main way that the torturer tries to break him is by showing him four lights, and telling him that there are five. There are four lights. This is not a post about Star Trek.

Make it viral.

If they could do this to Renee Nicole Good, they could do this to you. This is a lawless regime.

Every pre-mature death of Americans and others that is happening/is going to happen is because of the Republicans. Do not forget that. Do not believe the complete bullshit that it is all of Congress. The entire Republican Party are Accessories After the Fact! www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoB-...

10/10. No notes.

Brazil - Bolsonaro leads coup, arrested the next day, tried, convicted, imprisoned South Korea - Yoon Suk Yeol leads coup, impeached 10 days later, arrested a month after that, currently on trial for insurrection United States - Trump leads coup, gets away with it, seizes power

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time? Really American FB

I think the Greenland threat is a troll. I think. But it would sure be nice for some senators and GOP house members to speak up now and make it clear that an attack on a nato ally would lead to removal from office

Donald Trump endangering the lives of children, again.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

January 6, 2021 was the most shameful day in American history. It should live in infamy. We will never forget it, and we will not let the nation or the world forget — despite the revisionism of Trump and his lackeys in the Republican Party.

Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

Cannot believe we are living through the collapse of the American experiment. Really thought we’d have another couple hundred years.

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.

Bragging that you just passed your 3rd dementia test is a great way of telling us they've made you take 3 dementia tests

Loved The Residence

😂

It is called "PROJECTION." This needs to be driven home for people to understand. All the rotten, illegal, unethical, and immoral things Donald Trump says about anyone, HE IS IN FACT TALKING ABOUT HIMSELF. Projection is a defensive method used by twisted people to deflect what they are doing.

Why Medicare Advantage plans suck as told by the accurate but still hilarious John Oliver. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ejoi...

And that's what it's all about.

This could wind up being the most-watched newsmagazine segment in television history!! Congratulations to the Ellisons and Bari Weiss!!!

Morning.

We’ve got a little over $272,000 to raise before the end of the year to be ready for the midterms and support our groups on the front lines of the fight against the regime. Please pitch in if you can to help fuel our nationwide organizing against authoritarianism.

What the absolute [expletive] was that?!?

This could have been an email.

It’s been a particularly heavy start to Hanukkah this year. May the memories of those who were killed be a blessing. May we keep in our minds the suffering of those injured. And may we share our prayers with their families and the Jewish community in Australia.

California takes public health leadership seriously. Proud to partner with former CDC Director Dr. Susan Monarez and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Debra Houry to strengthen our work.

I am convinced America crossed an event horizon thirteen years ago, when even the deaths of elementary school aged children at the hands of a monster weren't enough for their government to say "enough is enough". Hard not to think that Americans would rather have their guns over their children.

Today we remember the thousands of Americans who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor 84 years ago. Nearly half of those lost were aboard the USS Arizona, and I remember what a moving experience it was when Gabby and I visited the memorial. We’ll never forget their sacrifice.

I still think a lot about the fact that Gamergate did essentially win. Not that it made the culture significantly more misogynistic or anything, but it succeeded in making a lot of the people who played games eventually casually much more anti-intellectual and incurious.

Reposting this everyday until Pete Hagueseth faces justice for his crimes against humanity.

Newsom said his “Trump kneepads .. were sold out, just like our universities were selling out, just like our law firms were selling out, just like a lot of CEOs were selling out—selling out this country, our future, our republic.” @thedailybeast.bsky.social www.thedailybeast.com/gavin-newsom...

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.
