You’ll notice that the American state media have completely ignored the fact that bribe for hire Pam Bondi hasn’t released a single Epstein file in 2026. They have deliberately and continuously failed humanity.

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

Wanda Sykes and Mark Ruffalo are wearing “BE GOOD” pins at the Golden Globes tonight 🤝 Both celebs have been outspoken for years and brings more than just visibility to their support. Thank you to all the people with influence who choose to use their platforms to speak up.

"Here are the demands we all need to make: Use the National Guard to protect our citizens. Arrest agents who commit crimes. Charge police, National Guard, and ICE with crimes when they commit or refuse to stop them. . . . Do it now." cmarmitage.substack.com/p/my-first-7...

The Trump premises its offer to "buy" Greenland by paying $10k to each Greenlander on complete ignorance of what Denmark now pays every Greenlander (which is a huge multiple of the Trump offer).

Lol (Alt: A translated satirical Danish headline that reads "Denmark changes Greenland's name to Epstein Island so Trump will stop talking about it.")

I follow @glennkirschner.bsky.social and @justicematters.bsky.social , I wonder if the Minneapolis DA can't charge the agents for blocking the ambulance and the physician who tried to help?

The Washington Post publishes another dumb op-ed about voting. The only "frenzy" it mentions is lies by rightwing activists. Yet, it manages to conclude that those of us fighting for free and fair elections are to blame. Subscribe to independent, pro-democracy news instead. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Oh my gosh you guys! The House just passed my bill to extend the health care tax credits for three more years!

The only way forward is the complete DeNazification of the Republican Party & the American government. War tribunals for every ICE agent & disqualification from office + lengthy prison sentences for fascist collaborators at all levels of government. Do not consider a 2028 nominee who opposes this.

Sick burn!

ICE killed an unarmed citizen. Republicans keep trying to justify it. https://www.dailykos.com/story/2026/1/8/2362010/-ICE-killed-an-unarmed-citizen-Republicans-keep-trying-to-justify-it?pm_campaign=blog&pm_medium=rss&pm_source=

After 25 days, ICE releases Maryland woman who says she is a U.S. citizen... After her lawyer provided her birth certificate... She has a five year child... DHS was going to deport her until a judge stepped in... (Free gift article) wapo.st/49KGpxM

@indivisible.org Have we discussed asking governors to order Guard and PD to protect citizen's right to protest when ice acts OUTSIDE their responsibility. Order 267b just requires cooperation, it doesn't exempt PD from enforcing professional standards. + @parkroseperma.bsky.social

The shooting in Minnesota is a reminder that while authoritarian governments may justify abuses of power by directing them at scapegoats or vulnerable populations, the goal is ultimately to deploy them against anyone they wish to www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

As always, it was an honor to speak on a deeply personal topic at #Monktoberfest. Thank you for having me 💜 CW in the talk.

I heard that Tim Walz referred to the regime’s “propaganda” and it was the first time all year that I’ve heard someone NAME this reality rather than calling it “bat shit crazy” or some other colloquialism. EDUCATE YOUNG PEOPLE ABOUT PROPAGANDA. What is it? How is it used? How can we counter it?

Shout out to Tim Walz & his commitment. #TheAbsurdityOfTrump #BlueCrew #ProudBlue #GoodTrouble

As I mentioned the other day, Tim Walz ending his re-election campaign and Amy Klobuchar potentially running for #MNGov was bad news for MN Rs. And now MN Rs are on the record confirming exactly that. It’s a ‘careful what you wish for’ moment. www.notus.org/2024-electio...

From Massachusetts it looks like Walz has not yet done the obvious: Deploy the guard to block ICE from attacking protesters and provoking a violent response. Don Old is desperate to trigger a riot. #BlueCrew

Tim Walz should deploy the National Guard to defend Minneapolis schools from attack

Democratic leadership didn’t want to stick their necks out for him. The GOP didn’t want him even referred to as a “Maryland man.” Sen. Chris Van Hollen, his congressional representative fought for him. And we should never forget any of this. apnews.com/article/abre...

Thankfully, the Polish doctor who was arrested for providing a medically necessary later abortion has had her criminal investigation dropped. Prosecutors deemed that she did not violate Poland’s strict abortion laws. An anti-choice fanatic who attacked her is facing criminal charges for assault.

Every last ICE/J6er Agent needs to be charged, convicted then deported. They do not belong in America, they're the threat. I'm glad he spoke out. Nobody deserves that except the entire cabinet & they're lying prop spoxes. www.huffpost.com/entry/minnes...

House Oversight Committee released a batch of 95,000 photos from the Epstein Files— "I have met some very bad people, none as bad as #Trump — Not one decent cell in his body" - Jeffrey Epstein

U.S. pals: Do. Not. Donate. To. Salvation. Army. There are better charities out there. Much better.

MAJOR BREAKING: A startling photograph of branded “Trump Condoms” from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein was released by the House Oversight Committee today.

Yesterday, Spc Sarah Becstrom was laid to rest in West Virginia at a VA National Cemetery. Surprisingly none of the major major news media mention it. No flags were lower to half staff. Well the Convicted FElon keeps the news focus on him. www.wvva.com/2025/12/10/s...

NEW: A Republican lawyer involved in the DOJ’s effort to seize state voter data previously supported a GOP lawsuit to ban Georgia from using Dominion voting machines. This is the latest instance of the DOJ hiring a lawyer for its voting section who promoted false conspiracy theories.
