Your taxpayer dollars are being used to imprison children. CHILDREN. It is sick, but we cannot look away. I’m grateful Diana is home, and will continue to show up and fight for all children to be free.

Rubio just made a speech to the European defense community in Munich that did not mention Ukraine. Or democracy. Or US business deals with Russia. Or the administration's plans to support the European far right. But there were lots of nice words about our common civilization.

(He did mention Ukraine in the answer to a question afterwards and said, more or less, that he does not know whether negotiations will succeed)

Once again, a reminder that the "free speech" crusaders were always cynics operating in bad faith

Diana is seven years old. She belongs in a second-grade classroom—not in a prison with inhumane conditions. I’m headed to Dilley, Texas, right now to see if she’s okay.

I'm fighting to bring my constituents home and end the practice of imprisoning children and families once and for all.

Detaining children doesn’t make this country safer. It makes this country cruel. Over 1,000 family members are being held at the detention facility in Dilley, Texas where measles is spreading and children are traumatized.

I'm about to arrive at the Dilley detention center in Texas. Diana Crespo is a second grader. She should be in school right now, not a prison in Texas. I will let you know what I see.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside. What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there? I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

Adrian Conejo Ramos, Liam’s dad: “The government is moving many pieces, it's doing everything possible to do us harm, so that they’ll probably deport us. We live with that fear too.” Hasn’t this regime done enough harm to this family already?

I feel this in my soul. The heartbreak is real. The panic is real. The sleepless nights and nightmares are real. 💔 Looking at what we’ve become is truly soul-crushing. Trump and vile MAGA Republicans must be stopped.

Nazi concentration camps had INCINERATORS —- WTF.

This beautiful child, an American citizen just like his parents, is being bullied because Donald Trump is a racist piece of shit and white supremacy feels emboldened to act without shame. This hatred is taught and it is wrong.

Exactly one year ago I went to Copenhagen. I wrote about the fallout from Trump's first phone call with the Danish prime minister. Danes have been preparing for this crisis for a year. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Polarization is not the problem. And I am tired of being framed as a radical left extremist in service of a talking point that is missing the moment. The center of the spectrum of United States politics is meant to be the Constitution and the rule of law. 1/4

The Trump regime’s absurd smear of Renee Good as a “domestic terrorist” isn’t just rhetorical. It’s part of a plan (NSPM-7) to suppress opposition to their authoritarian policies by using the government’s power against “domestic terrorism.” We broke it down here: open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

A death happens. A reasonable response would be to take a step back and figure out how to prevent more deaths. But this is the Trump regime. So their response is to do even more of what caused the death. This is a government waging war with their own people. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/11/b...

In JD Vance’s world, Jonathan Ross is both the hero and the victim. The woman he killed? She’s the perpetrator, solely responsible for her own death. This is peak abuser language and a public battering of a woman killed by an abusive government agent. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/ruthzaka...

The people have to end this

The same people who spent yesterday, and the past five years, insisting a Black police officer who shot an insurrectionist breaking into the Capitol should be prosecuted are today bending over backwards to defend an ICE agent who shot a woman in her car in cold blood. Scum.

Oh yeah we are having a show tomorrow. Have to get it in before the state censorship begins. I'm kidding! I think... Join me & @lincolnsbible.bsky.social on Friday 8pm ET.

"We have elected a man who's just so sick that he can't have anybody around him who gives him sensible advice, and he has people around him who are as unwell as he is or...who are just so beholden to the grift." George Conway on Trump and his inner circle of grifters and sycophants.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

“On behalf of a grateful Congress, this plaque honors the extraordinary individuals who bravely protected and defended this symbol of democracy on January 6, 2021. Their heroism will never be forgotten.” — Me

NPR built a visual archive of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, showing exactly what happened through the lenses of the people who were there. In "Chapter 2: Stop the Steal," we look at how false claims of a stolen election mobilized Trump supporters.

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

Most importantly, Miller is wrong. Plenty of stable societies existed that did not conform to his "iron laws". Such "laws" might apply, however, to centralised, hierarchical political systems, especially those dominated by psychopaths like Stephen Miller.

meanwhile, waking up this morning in New York, outside did not look unlike this

Scoundrels and grifters and traitors, oh myyy.

Shortly after midnight, in the old beaux-arts city hall subway station, Zohran Mamdani was sworn in as mayor of New York City. Let's fucking go! 🙌🙏💪👏✊️👇

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.” In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

What a disgrace. Volodymyr Zelensky is a heroic defender of democracy. The Trump regime is a poisonous blight on our nation’s history.

These artists are taking certain financial losses and severe retribution from the Trump administration to take this noble stand They are truly heroes who deserve our support

How does Moscow view Donald Trump at the end of 2025? One Russian paper today: “The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World…he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold to be destroyed…” #ReadingRussia youtu.be/7EwZNk6KgHU

Filming them committing terrorism is now itself an act of terrorism?

All credit to Zelenskyy for maintaining his composure and not tackling Trump right there…
