Wow!

This is a great read re Phillip Glass' decision to drop the Kennedy Center performance.

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me." --Homan in February "Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely." -- Tom Homan in March "I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room" -- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman

Senate Dems are going to fully fund ICE if they agree to more body cameras. And that, boys and girls, is why the republic is crumbling. We do NOT need more video of ICE atrocities! We have plenty. We need to STOP the atrocities, PERIOD! Defund ICE or go to hell. That is all.

Excellent article, inspiring.

Delusional. Will be a disaster if this clown is selected as Fed chair.

Our researcher @godin.bsky.social has collated our analysis so far on the fatal shooting of Renee Good on Jan 7 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, into one shareable article. Read here: www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/01...

This slogan adopted by Kristi Noem, "One of Ours, All of Yours," is taken from the Nazis, who retaliated for the killing of an SS officer by murdering all the inhabitants of the Czech village of Lidice, apparently none of whom had anything to do with it, and razing the village to the ground.

We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands. Video: @minnesotareformer.com with annotations by Bellingcat

A year-end special from me: The 25 Worst Villains of the Trump Admin, in ranking order. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

It’s the worst Presidency ever in just 11 months. Countless people killed. A shitty job market. Military conflicts everywhere. Ethnic cleansing. Terrorizing the American populace. Mass corruption. Terrorists and pedos pardoned. Measles back. White supremacist foreign policy. Voting attacks.

Despite anti-drug rhetoric, Trump has granted clemency to 100 people accused of drug-related crimes That includes felon Juan Orlando Hernández who is responsible for importing 400 tons of cocaine AND felon Ross Upbricht, a notorious internet drug trafficker

It doesn’t have to be this way 🤦‍♀️

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social explains it clearly

Affordability concerns are real because: - Tariffs raise import costs - Deportations make it harder to harvest crops - Attacking Obamacare hikes premiums - Budget deficits raise mortgage payments - Undermining the Fed risks inflation. It's not a hoax; it's a policy choice.

The whole Cabinet is a bunch of fucking weirdos.

12 former commissioners of the FDA came together to write a Perspectives piece for the New England Journal of Medicine; raising our concerns about recent changes to vaccine approval policy at the FDA and its implications for patients and public health.

Especially for the racist trash talk, but I think even more generally people see Omar, and hear that Minneapolis has the country's biggest Somali community, and assume that must be a substantial chunk of her voters. The numerical reality is nowhere close to that, there just aren't that many of them.

What the fuck is wrong with this man?

Tennessee is not a democracy. Gerrymandering, Gov. Lee interfering with local politics and constituent preferences, etc.

Why am I paying taxes so the White House can put out this bullshit?

Oh

MAJOR: The Trump Administration has been caught lying about the D.C. shooting suspect. The truth: He was vetted by Trump. He had a CIA badge, worked with the CIA in Afghanistan, and granted asylum by Trump in April. Spread this everywhere. Subscribe to support my work, even on Thanksgiving:

Sign at the US Military Academy at West Point:

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Excellent. Send this to your friends in the National Guard and anybody you know in ICE or CBP.

This is true for every interaction with the press, including Leavitt's press briefings.

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

Unbelievable. We have a childish lunatic as President.

Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it, arrest everyone on board, interrogate them, and find out where it was going, where it came from, who the bosses are, and what the distribution networks look like.

The reality of Kavanaugh stops: American citizens dragged, tackled, beaten, tased, and shot by immigration agents. Citizens held in the rain while in their underwear. A pregnant citizen's door blown off while Kristi Noem watched. Important story by @nicolefoy.bsky.social of @propublica.org

While Trump was busy doing nothing to lower grocery prices, he used the presidency to double his family’s wealth. He was never going to help you. He was always going to help himself.

Egypt has extremely strict gun control laws. Civilians are only permitted to own handguns -- no rifles or shotguns -- and only if they can prove they need the weapon for a specific purpose. Background checks for licensing are extensive and include vetting of family members and psych evaluations.

This is great and maga world will never see it because they're all passing around ai slop videos of screaming protesters getting pepper sprayed that they believe are real

Our Vice President is lying again!

"Kill people and break things" New motto for our military?

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Do. Not. Confirm.

Trump is making America sick again. It’s part of his keep em poor, dumb, and sick plan. #CleanAir #ClimateChange #PublicHealth @france24.com

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).
