Re-watching "The West Wing" on Netflix as an antidote to doomscrolling. It is... somewhat helpful.

My boss now and forever Thank you!

To be clear, the regime is holding the people of MN hostage, and the ransom is the information they need to rig the 2026 election.

Democrats must refuse to vote for any funding bill that increases ICE’s budget and refuse to fund DHS until ICE’s abuses of power are stopped. The government funding deadline is January 30th. Call your reps today: (202) 224-3121 https://indivisible.org/campaign/how-rein-ice-now

Any one of us could be detained for hours by ICE despite being a U.S. citizen. Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night. Any one of us could be the next to be brutalized by ICE for speaking out. Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

This warms the cockles of my heart

Renee Good committed gender insubordination: she didn't cower & grovel to male authority. Many women are killed for the very same reason all over the world. We just call it by the euphemism "domestic violence" instead of what it is: a campaign of political terrorism in which any man can participate.

We can’t ignore the gendered dynamics of what we just saw katemanne.substack.com/p/renee-good...

BREAKING NEWS: Actual facts appear for the first time on "Truth" Social.

@patwashburn.bsky.social Important Kitty News!

Makes me yearn for journalism of yore -- thoughtful questions with appropriately challenging followups. People speaking their minds in complete sentences and in an unfailingly civil tone. youtu.be/OraxqbUjpHw?...

Would make for fantastic street street art / agitprop in Downtown DC

Newport VT:

From the other Portland: I love your weirdness.

good morning

This only happens to you once

So they make no apology, no acknowledgement of the fact that they suspended Kimmel because the FCC threatened them, not because of the content of his remarks (which were factual and not insensitive in the least). That's what you call a buck short and a day late, Disney. Hulu stays off in my house.

A brilliant movie and so sorely needed right now.

“Hey why don’t you invest billions of dollars in a factory here, and every four years we’ll flip a coin and maybe a posse of mouthbreathing thugs will throw hoods over your employees’ heads and fly them to a foreign prison”

Corporate media: •CBS fires Colbert for mocking Trump •ABC fires Terry Moran for slamming Stephen Miller as “world class hater” •MSNBC fires Matt Dowd for saying “hateful thoughts & words leads to hateful actions” •FOX stands by Brian Kilmeade as he calls for Nazi state murder of 600K homeless 1/2

Overheard while out and about in Portland Maine: Man 1: How are you today, sir? Man 2: If I was any better I'd be a seagull on a lobstah roll! I live in a charming place.

This would explain a hell of a lot...

Fascism is expensive.

Funny how that MAGAts think Democrats uncritically follow their leaders like they follow 47. Hard as I backed him back in the day ... If, via due process, WJC is found to have committed the same sex crimes as 💩ler, then BY ALL MEANS lock him TF up. They can be cellmates for all I care.

If you’ve never seen Ms. Tamara Walcott deadlift 641 pounds, I’d highly recommend watching this:

Not only is the bombing of Iran an impeachable offense, but the military members who obeyed 47's unlawful order, and the members of Congress who knew about the bombing ahead of time and went along with it, ALL need to be held accountable.

A short video about Juneteenth:

Not sure where the sign came from but this Mainer approves!

In Bangor, Maine we make one exception to the rule. #NoKings

Dateline Bridgton Maine: This sleepy town (pop. 5700) has hundreds of patriotic Americans on the street, saying, "NO KINGS!" #nokings

Sadly, I understand this meme all too well and can attest to its accuracy.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Crockett: I know that there’s been some conversations about what’s going on in LA and they want to say that it’s riots because they didn’t want people to keep talking about the Epstein files

As LA protests expand, so does misinformation. This evening Sen. Ted Cruz shared a video from 2020 as if it was from today. Many of the false and misleading posts I'm seeing are from folks trying to lump peaceful protesters and violent rioters together.

If you're a Marine or other service member being mobilized to Los Angeles and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options: 1-877-447-4487

As you watch ICE terrorize Los Angeles, remember: private prison companies are going to get very, very rich off Trump's cruelty.

She was right.

The masked GI Joe Gestapo invaded the state you represent on militarized vehicles to kidnap people as they tried to work or watch their kids graduate and their angry/scared neighbors/family trying to stand up for them are the problem?? The protestors aren’t the ones shooting at media. Do better.
