If congressional republicans don’t have the strength to stand up to Trump maybe they have the honor to just resign. Resign and let the democrats take over the house. Let the democrats do the job of enacting the constitutional order. #GOPresign

Amazing that Trump thinks he will be welcomed at Davos. It would be awful if something happened to him. Awful.

Danish pension fund to dump US treasuries "The US is basically not a good credit and long-term the US government finances are not sustainable," says chief investment officer www.investing.com/news/stock-m...

I’m glad the days are getting longer. Miss Gracie is convinced it’s bedtime 4 hours after the sun sets. Was 8 PM last month. Pushing 9PM now. Silly monkey. So we went to bed early. Cozy bed. Book. Cuddles with me and George.

Power granted to civil servants (police) have oversight because power can be abused. Abuse of that power, is power taken from the people. ICE agents are anonymous. This is a direct removal of the power of the people. Anonymity of ICE agents is extra-constitutional. That alone demands defunding.

This is a WILD thread—that is still ongoing bsky.app/profile/musi...

Blanche won’t investigate the killing of an innocent woman on camera but they’ve got all hands on deck for a church service being interrupted

I love Rachel Maddow’s recap of the extensive protests. Always gives me energy. Right side of history. Ice out.

Thawed out some of the Sous vide pork belly. Quick fried at high heat. Blue cheese stuffed mini peppers. Confit garlic. Sticky rice. Truffle sauce. Mondays can be delicious.

10 degrees and a bit of a wind. Brrrrrr

A Packed afternoon clinic with some of my most challenging patients today (how do they all end up on the same day? lol). Was mentally prepared for hard work, but, they are all doing fantastic. What a treat for all.

Never forget that billionaires spend billions to convince you that voting doesn't matter. Don't help them. Voting isn't the ONLY thing we can do, but it is the most powerful check on the executive. "Don't bother voting because there'll be no free elections" is oligarch propaganda.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Can we vote this in as our new national anthem?

Trump has transformed the justice system into a Putin-style autocratic protection racket. The wealthy are not audited or investigated, if convicted they are pardoned. Political opponents are targeted. Unidentified masked agents grab people off the street, and protesters are shot.

Saturday night self care.

Good question.

If you wonder why the ice attack videos out of Minneapolis look like 1/6, it’s because the perpetrators of 1/6 were hired by ice.

Last nights walk before the really cold weather arrived. Chili fortified

Another heartbreaking moment brought to you by republican Jesus.

I hope the people on the left who campaigned against Harris are super proud of their work here. Congrats to them for this harassment of brown people catastrophe. They were told this would happen. They said we were fear mongering.

Every official says the ICE action is to get murderers and pedos. Yet they have no warrants. Press needs to push back. We need proof of these criminals. Vague statements do not justify this chaos and harassment.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

The ponds are frozen but spring is coming.

T-Orange demanding Greenland when Greenland says no, repeatedly; is very rapey of him. Elect an adjudicated sex offender, expect rapey behavior.

He really is doing all of it.

Last night, Robert Kennedy Jr gutted addiction & mental health grants, immediately cutting off access to overdose prevention, peer recovery services, & mental health support across the nation. This will cost lives. Congress must enact full-year legislation that protects this funding.

This doesn’t happen in democracies. It happens in autocracies

If he gets canned he will make many years worth of salary on a Go Fund Me before he wins his grievance through the union.

This visibly gets to him so people should keep doing it.

I wonder. Since they are masked. And their badge says noting. Can one not sure all of them? Are they not interchangeable if they are not identified? Make it a liability for them to hide. I could see a judge agreeing to that.

CONGRATS, TEXANS!

If you're worried about Aaron Rodgers coming after you for mocking him in his last game, just hide in the end zone. He'll never find you.

Vaccines are to MAHA as NATO is to MAGA. They both work so well to prevent that the choads think the small cost of preventing is too much ,as they have no concept of how deadly lack of prevention can be.

Really disturbing how much AI is on social media. At a time when truth matters we have slop.

Da Bears.

Post walk post dinner. Side sploot.

RIP to a San Francisco legend 🕊️ Founding member of the Grateful Dead and Dead & Company, Bob Weir, has died at the age of 78. Dead & Co’s 3-day 60th anniversary celebration in Golden Gate Park were his final shows.

DAVE MATTHEWS: “I don’t want my taxes to pay for masked thugs to roam our streets & terrorize our communities... She was trying to get away. He shot her 3x in the head. Murdered in cold blood. They’re trying to tell us not to believe what we see. FUCK ICE.” (H/T @marcofoster.bsky.social )

United States made an explicit treaty in 1917 with Denmark promising not to make claims on Greenland in exchange for our purchase of the Virgin Islands en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_...

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

And the DSA hates it. May they twist. I loves me some actual progress brought by actual progressives (in the action sense of the word, not the armchair) like Underwood.

Had dinner at Oak and Reel in Detroit where we had celebrated my Dads 80th and tomorrow we will go to Maple and Ash in Chicago where I was going to take my Dad after Christmas. Got a lot of legal paperwork done today. Crazy how complicated death is.

Visited my great grandmother and great aunts resting places today. In a little chapel. The attendant asked their names as she was unlocking and didn’t recognize their names. Because they were old enough to be on the wall and not on the group plaque.

The insanity of this country. You step away from the news for a few days and come back and … it’s a horror show. It’s so abnormal and deranged and unacceptable.
