“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second. We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms. Collective boycott. Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

I am beyond thrilled that Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk has been released. But I am worried about what the administration has planned next.

I think Ungar-Sargon is unequivocally the most embarassing defender of this fascist regime. Let me get this straight...her defense of Trump's tariff disaster is to claim that poor people buy a lot of junk and throw it all over the floor? Are you kidding me?

How are we allowing the President of the United States to defraud the American people to the tune of $350 million? He needs to be impeached and removed.

My 2-year-old was in an ICE detention facility when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why am I being deported to Honduras?" And when I told her "Because due process is too woke," she started crying.

Shout out to all the finance bros who didn’t give a shit about democracy, human rights, racism, homophobia, misogyny, the future of the planet or basic human decency and voted for the conman they thought was gonna be good for the economy. You guys are geniuses.

”Miyazaki said, 'I am utterly disgusted. If you really want to make creepy stuff you can go ahead and do it. I would never wish to incorporate this technology into my work at all.' He also said, 'I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.'"

it's been years upon years of labored "campus culture" op-eds from salaried writers hectoring students about free speech, and now the state is kidnapping students for their speech in broad daylight

Spot-on newsletter, as usual. The Trump regime's secret police will continue to nab anyone it wants off the streets and disappear them until this nightmare is driven from power. And until then, it will unconstitutionally arrest people, eventually including you or someone you know.

A student with legal status has been detained because she wrote an op-ed in her university's student newspaper a year ago, criticizing the university's response to Gaza war protests. Waiting for conservatives who spent the past decade whining about being censored to say something.

The Trump administration has now ordered the detainment and deportation of three (3) students with legal status for their political speech. Conservatives claim to care about free speech - both the First Amendment itself and its spirit. Now is the time for them to use their voices.

This is sketchy as hell

Elon Musk and a bunch of teenagers are running the country.

Why are Republicans okay with Elon’s teenage incel club having unfettered access to their personal data?

Elon Musk should be disqualified from receiving government subsidies. It’s a conflict of interest. There should be bipartisan agreement on this issue. Why are “common sense” policies so hard to implement?

I’m so glad he’s focused on real issues like privatizing air traffic control rather than, I don’t know… bringing grocery prices down?

Trump’s second term is only 8 days old. But he’s already launched an all-out assault on the American people. Here are the top stories you should know about today:

I can’t express this enough: the Trump administration does not give a f*ck about ordinary Americans like you and I.

Nearly 25 percent of Americans have refused to call an ambulance DURING an emergency because they were worried about the cost. This INCLUDES Americans with health insurance. Our system is broken and the party in charge has no plan to fix it.

Let me get this straight: Donald Trump just terminated the security detail for Dr. Fauci in the same week he let hundreds of violent insurrectionists out of prison. He doesn’t care if Fauci is killed.

AOC speaking up about the corrupt relationship between the GOP and private prison companies is exactly why she is a leading voice on the left. We need more AOCs, not less.

Thinking about this courageous woman today.

I still can't believe that the party of "law and order" is celebrating the release of two men who planned and carried out a violent effort to overthrow the government. Their incompetence and lack of success is meaningless. Their intentions are what matter.

Trump is a friend of big corporations and the enemy of the people. In just a few days, he has undone much of the important work that President Biden did to protect Americans from corporate takeover. Half of this country voted for higher prices for their medications. That's just a fact.

Jesus: "when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.’"

There was a school shooting in Nashville today. A student was killed. Donald Trump and the Republicans plan to lift restrictions, making it easier for future school shooters to access weapons. I worry for future generations.

What we've learned this week (so far): You are allowed to assault police officers if you do it on behalf of Donald Trump.

Ordinary Americans bought the lie that Republicans cared about their lives. Their continued efforts to cut healthcare programs are a loud reminder of this fact. Republicans don’t mind if healthcare executives get rich while we drown in medical debt.

Trump wants to execute drug dealers. But he just pardoned one in exchange for libertarian votes. It’s going to be a long four years.

It’s been one day and Trump has already: 1) pardoned violent January 6 insurrections, 2) launched a pump and dump cryptocurrency scam, and 3) pardoned a guy who hired assassins to kill multiple people. It’s going to be a long four years, folks.

Did you know Jimmy Carter wrote a letter to aliens? #JimmyCarter #didyouknow #lawyer

I don’t think we’ve had a president this humble since 1976-1980. There’s no doubt that he cared about ordinary people. Might be time to find the next Jimmy Carter.

This is why we need leaders with real plans. Not hyperbolic campaign promises designed primarily as attacks on an opponent. This is going to be a long four years filled with global suffering.

I’m making a New Year’s Resolution to keep speaking up about injustice and abuse of power around this country. Follow me if you’re ready to join the fight.

Can we deport Elon Musk?

Vivek Ramaswamy constantly complains about “unelected federal bureaucrats.” Is he truly too stupid to see the irony? Who elected him to run a government department!?!

Jimmy Carter understood that we must return politics to the people. The billionaires that own our politicians do not give a crap about ordinary Americans. Rest in Peace, President Carter.

Social media is addictive. So I installed an app that limits how many times I can open Twitter/X. It has resulted in a MASSIVE decrease in my time spent on toxic app. And it accomplishes two goals at once: Less ad revenue for Elon. More sanity for us. I recommend everyone do the same.

Do something real!

I’m trying to imagine the bubble of amoral corporate douchery you have to live in to think that saying “we guard against unnecessary care” is better than just shutting the fuck up.

BREAKING: The South Korean military has just executed the Muppet History guy in Gwanghwamun Square.

Using the Muppets as an “in” to harass women may be a new low for men. If the sentence above doesn’t make sense to you, I envy you.

Taylor Silverman lost a skateboarding competition to a trans woman two years ago. Her loss made her a national figure in the anti-trans movement. This week, she took off the mask and revealed that her crusade isn’t about skateboarding. It’s about her hating people that are different from her:
