Multiple sources have confirmed that ICE/Border Patrol is headed back to the Raleigh and Durham areas for undefined deportation actions. We've heard 50 ICE agents, charter flights and hotels booked for all of them in the Raleigh area. Let us know what you hear.

They deport legal residents, cage without warrants, kill innocent (until proven guilty) people in boats. This is a regime of thugs. When we take power, I want indictments, not handshakes!! Garland thought restraint would earn respect. All it earned was time for trump to build an army & a throne.

This came from the 2021 infrastructure bill signed by Biden. Mace voted against it.

Ukraine is DEFENDING ITSELF, it stops DEFENDING ITSELF when agressor stops INVADING it.

“These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power. Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power.” #FDR 1936

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Just so you can visualize who’s being pressured to surrender, give up territory, dignity, and let the US get 50% monetization profits

We want to apologize and clarify our earlier post about the student walkouts in Charlotte, NC. While tons and tons of young people took part in the protests, we overlooked the fact that some students aren’t staying home to make a statement, some are staying home out of fear. And it’s not only

Jon Stewart and I agree: AI must work for everybody, not just a handful of billionaires.

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community. The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution. Don’t give up the ship.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

The award-winning article about stormwater management you didn't know you needed.

I love this for Johnson...truly I do..

The way I would've curtsied....

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

If Joe Biden had an MRI a month ago and we had no idea why it was done or on what body part and he claimed he had no idea about either of those things it would literally be all you heard about in the press but Trump just gets a huge pass b/c reporters treat him differently.

One ~182km x ~211km solar thermal plant could provide all of America’s electricity, including a fully-electrified land transport sector. 100% clean power from just 0.39% of U.S land. That’s why renewables are constantly under attack from the fossil fuel industry and their paid mouthpieces.

Sorry I put aviator sunglasses on the baby Jesus in your nativity scene and started singing “Highway to the manger zone.”

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

When authoritarians consolidate so much power that they become the central fulcrum of economic, political, and cultural life, it inflicts a psychic toll that I don't think we've taken full account of: True Liberty is not having to think about One Guy for a day.

This was done to the White House, a federal property, by a man who wanted protesters who spray painted a wall arrested for "destruction of federal property."

SNAP is probably the most effective federal dollar we spend in terms of long term domestic economic outcomes. that isn’t why you should support it; you should support it because it is a moral imperative to feed the hungry. but it’s why even a growth-oriented ghoul shouldn’t oppose it.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families? Now you know.

Huge moment — Stephen Colbert gave his full support to tomorrow’s No Kings rallies! Tomorrow, we rise together — for freedom, for truth, for democracy. Let’s make history. ✊🏽

If you are protesting this weekend. Do so peacefully. Do so thoughtfully. Trump is hoping you don’t. He is seeking a reason to crack down harder. Do not give him one. Continue to speak out. Continue to use your voice.

I’m a reasonably successful person. I have great friends, I am so close to my adult children. I am married to my best friend. I get to do cool things. I love my job. Making these choices is a big part of my happiness.

Can confirm Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile deserves an Oscar. Throw in a Nobel Peace Prize for good measure.

"If we lose hope, we're doomed." We must continue Dr. Jane Goodall's mission and all fight for the future of the planet.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

It’s hard to find much evidence of a true youth movement rallying behind Kirk beside the dedicated conservatives who were already fans. Instead, we see a top-down effort from powerful people to use a controversial man’s death to create a cult of personality where one didn't exist. trib.al/AXEPYZR

Let’s talk about what real strength looks like—and how Trump’s MAGA “alpha male” act is the opposite of it. 🧵

Over the past eleven months, we have built something extraordinary together. Six weeks left. zohranfornyc.com/sixweeks

Happy birthday to one of my favorite people. Love ya @robbenedict.bsky.social and I hope you had a fantastic day! 🎂🎉

President Johnson, in a November 9, 1968 letter to the Smothers Brothers: “It is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists . . . May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives.”

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Let me state the obvious that seemingly needs restated. You can BOTH condemn the murder of Charlie Kirk, and still disagree with what he said. This is the USA.

Live your life in such a way that, when you die, people directly quoting you does’t sound like a personal attack on your character.

"Oliver and his writers have built a worldview around the core belief that our government should make sure peoples’ basic needs are met, their rights protected, and their innate value as human beings reaffirmed." I wrote a short piece about an inspiring show. www.vulture.com/article/john...

On September 11th, the orange felon bragged about how his trashy tower was the tallest building in New York City after the collapse of the Twin Towers. Him being in the White House dishonors the nearly 3,000 people who died that day and it dishonors humanity.
