We have cleaned up the crime scene and blocked a local investigation and hidden the perpetrator and invaded the state and that is how you know that we are acting in good faith and that everything was the victim’s fault. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Mesa, AZ vigil for #reneegood

Not blaming them at all, but it’s sad to me not to see the Canadian snowbird license plates here in the Phoenix area this winter. Canadians are always so nice to talk to. Miss you guys! Sorry for the fascism! Don’t blame me, I voted for her. #Canada

Roy Orbison sang this song 17 days before his death. For the first and only time. “The most perfect voice” according to Elvis himself.

So glad we all get to experience the Most Ironic Independence Day In American History.

I am really terrified of all of the things currently going on in the US and it's very likely things are gonna get worse.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

You’re telling me this guy was on drugs? I’m not buying it.

You sure? Coz non-official acts of corruption are not immune from prosecution.

WHY DOES SHE HAVE THE GREATEST ARTISTS OF ALL-TIME & I ONLY GET KID ROCK??? WAAAAAHHH!!!!! 😩

It’s plain for all to see.

This is bleak reading

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. “We’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. “And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

If South Africa is a sovereign nation, how are we able to send our own planes we paid for to transport white Afrikaners to the U.S., but simultaneously unable to send a plane to return Abrego Garcia et al?

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

Proof this guy is full of SITH.

Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

Haven’t you heard? Eggs are practically free now…unless you try to buy some.

Scenes from my backyard. #urbangarden

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

"I fought for it once, I'll fight for it again"

Tempe, AZ protest today! #handsoff

If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

Astronomers say they have found the strongest indication of life beyond our solar system, on a planet 124 light-years away called ‘K2-18b.’ While they have not declared the finding of life, they detected “potential biosignatures” that are typically produced by living organisms like marine algae.

Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

A reminder that Donold feeds off of fear. He wants everyone to be afraid at all times. He wants you to stop discussing Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He wants you to stop discussing SignalGate. So he sows fear and panic.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

More in No, Other People: New poll: “America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory

No need to wait until September: We’ve identified the causes of autism and even some of the environmental chemicals interacting with autism genes involved early fetal neurodevelopment during pregnancy

RIP Kurt Vonnegut. Gone 18 yrs. Dang.

We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?" This is our moment. This is our time. We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

Hi. Books are incredibly important. Please let them be.

Mesa, AZ, you showed up!!! #handsoff #resist

Excited for all the new American banana and coffee factories.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Cory Booker has held the Senate floor for 17 hours and 21 minutes. The record of 24 hours and 18 minutes is held by segregationist Strom Thurmond, who spent that time protesting the Civil Rights Act of 1957. I am pretty sure Booker would not mind changing that history.

NEW: @aclu.org obtained ICE's "Alien Enemies Act Validation Guide," confirming all it takes to be sent to rot in prison in El Salvador is being Venezuelan and 1) having a tattoo an ICE officer says is a "gang tattoo" and 2) displaying "logos," "symbols" or clothes an ICE officer says are gang signs.

Everything Joe Rogan says is wrong. He’s a fount of misinformation and tomfoolery. Why do so many men listen to him? I’m at a loss.

Today’s Tesla protest in Tempe, Arizona! Best turnout I’ve seen so far.

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.

From Bryan Cohen: The stock market is crashing, 401k are plummeting, inflation and unemployment are increasing, consumer confidence has decreased 30%. This administration is focusing on taking over Canada, Panama Canal, Greenland! WTF! Is this what you voted for?

Government abductions are unconstitutional. Denying anyone the right to due process in America is unconstitutional. If you’ve rationalized your silence or support for any of it because it’s happening to those you disagree with, give it a minute… They’ll get to you soon enough.

When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.

It's always wrong to vandalize personal property and that certainly includes Teslas, and also: your government is actively disappearing innocent people without due process, so, you know, that second one is taking up my empathetic bandwidth at the moment.
