With every overperformance, it only seems likelier that Democrats will retake one or both houses of Congress by a decent margin. It's important that they run on a clear promise to hold Trump and his goons accountable, so they can hit the ground running in 2027 with a mandate to do so.

Talked this week about why removing the fascist boot from your neck will help you find a much bigger audience and, also, your soul. "There's a reason the Washington Post is going to die before The Onion becomes one of the biggest newspapers in the country: They licked the boot, and we kicked back."

don't mind me, just finding lots of bread crumbs showing Epstein and the League of Pederasts were a driving force in pushing transphobic hate. This email was sent in October 2014, at the start of the current anti trans political campaign and astroturphing.

“Let us be clear: we want the power of the state. We wish to hold the criminals of the regime accountable. We wish to seize back the public funds looted by Trump and his cronies. We wish to undo the damage he has done to the government. More than any of that we wish to rebuild.”

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

Attention all Second Amendment enthusiasts. There’s a movement you might wanna join.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

The most important patriotic act any of us can take in the next 9 months is to have awkward political conversations with people in our lives who may not agree with us.

audit every PAC and make every political consultant work for one year as a line cook

Literally 10 days ago, Hoeven introduced a bill to make concealed carry easier across the nation to help "law-abiding citizens to more freely exercise their Second Amendment rights." www.hoeven.senate.gov/news/news-re...

Jesus Christ. Multiple goons had a man on the ground but that wasn't enough brutality for them. One had to pull his gun and shoot someone who was prone on the sidewalk. They're going to tell us the agent feared for his life and was justified.

this guy is a terrible liar who genuinely believes he is great at lying

We watched the new Westeros show, and independently decided that Peter Claffey learned his comedy skills from @timbaltz.bsky.social (complimentary)

“In just nine days, Grok posted more than 4.4 million images. A review by The Times conservatively estimated that at least 41 percent of posts, or 1.8 million, most likely contained sexualized imagery of women.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/t...

1. After months of denials, the Trump administration has admitted that DOGE staff misused Social Security data. A DOGE staffer signed a deal to share the data with a “political advocacy group” seeking to “overturn election results" The identity of the staffer is not disclosed but there are clues

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy

This is Liam Ramos. The five year old that ICE took from a Minneapolis school and sent BY HIMSELF WITHOUT HIS FAMILY to a detention facility in Texas. There are monsters among us and they are wearing masks, carrying guns, and work for the US government.

the thing is that AI is very good at confident bullshit, which becomes more a part of your job toward the top of the ladder

Please enjoy this local news: “Lehigh County Executive Josh Siegel said he is evicting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement unit from a county-owned building where it has occupied an office for about three years but never paid rent… “We’re going to deport ICE,” Pinsley said at the news conference”

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

ah, well,,

My man.

They expect - they NEED - the people they threaten to fall in line, like the law firms and universities and media companies and billionaires and Congress did. If you say “No, make me,” they simply do not have a Plan B. TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO MAKE YOU.

ages ago, when i had an ongoing beef with a real unhinged neoconfederate, he went to the trouble of finding out where my family cemetery plot is. he drove there & desecrated their graves. he went to all that trouble but didn't bother to find out the bones in some of those old graves were on his side

How much more in your face can it be? "Why are you asking me for my paperwork?" "Because of your accent." "You have an accent too." "Where were you born sir?" "Where were you born at?" "Put your hands behind your back."

If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head

NEW: Trump’s DHS forces have shot 11 people since September. NBC News examined every case, revealing a pattern that policing experts called alarming: officers firing into cars, injuring and killing drivers.

gork is this true

Over the weekend, the White House and the Department of Homeland Security shared posts with a song, "We'll Have Our Home Again." I dug into the group that performed and popularized it. Its cofounder said his goal was to create "the seed of an eventual government." www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely. That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

If you're worried that Jonathan Ross will get away with murdering Renee Good, or that the admin will get away with brazening it out, read this: www.electoral-vote.com/evp2026/Item...

No. One is telling the truth and the other is lying. We don't have to accept Republican bad faith. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

A friend of mine is a cop who was once run over by a suspect’s car. I texted him and asked him to tell me that story again and if he’d mind sharing what he thought about the killing of Renee Good. He gave me permission to share with you what he texted back.

"Secret police" is often misunderstood to mean a force that operates covertly, with all their operations secret. But a secret police force's actions are often public. The secret part is hiding their identities, because they're breaking laws to hurt politically disfavored people, and fear reprisals.

Our local indie news site does an Andersonian promo video, and it's delightful: youtube.com/watch?v=oROR...

"Judging by your willingness to upload your medical records into this program, we're diagnosing you with some form of TBI."

Short of a Nice-style mass killing event, there's no legitimate reason for a cop to fire into a vehicle. Even if the driver is headed straight at the cop, it won't stop the car. This is why so many police departments prohibit it.

I've talked to Minneapolis DA Mary Moriarty several times, including a few months ago. Former public defender with no qualms about charging abusive cops. She has also been threatened by the Trump administration, is not seeking reelection, and doesn't back down. Shit's about to get real.

At some point, Americans are going to face a reckoning over what happened five years ago today. The people responsible must be held to account if the rule of law is going to mean anything. I documented the culpability. mhpbooks.com/books/the-ag...
