“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” —George Orwell (1984)

If ever there were a time you might want a separate but equal branch of the United States government to run a check on the president, it would be now ….

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

We need to end lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court. For a court that shapes our rights for generations, concentrating power indefinitely undermines public trust. I’m backing legislation for 18-year term limits and regular appointments to restore balance and accountability.

To be crystal clear, I am a taxpayer and would NOT like my tax dollars to be used to “acquire” Greenland, through purchase or military force. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER‼️

No matter what happens, never stop talking about the Epstein Files. No matter what happens, never stop talking about the Epstein Files. No matter what happens, never stop talking about the Epstein Files. No matter what happens, never stop talking about the Epstein Files.

RFK, Jr. and Donald Trump think they know better than scientists and doctors – and it's putting children's lives on the line. This is reckless and will mean more children are going to get preventable diseases and sick.

And these Greenlanders think that MAGAts are going to respect their culture and learn their language? 🤣🙄 From www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

The United States is behaving like a rogue state. The President has carried out an illegal act of war, kidnapped a foreign head of state, and is now threatening military action against NATO allies. This is a constitutional crisis. Impeachment must be on the table.

He lied. He lied to get senate confirmation. Impeach him before he kills us.

Flu cases are dramatically on the rise. Bobby’s hard at work.

Schumer go home

Returning to the office doesn't boost productivity. It lowers morale. One 2024 study from the University of Pittsburgh found that 99 percent of companies that implemented RTO mandates saw a drop in employee satisfaction. thewalrus.ca/return-to-office...

Five years after the events of January 6, 2021, we are learning what it means to have a president who has demonstrated his determination to overthrow our democracy and who does not have to answer to the law.

💯

Truth.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

Trump bombed Venezuela, abducted Maduro, & claims the US will seize oil—all without Congressional authorization. This illegal war violates the Constitution & international law. It sets a dangerous precedent with NO limits on executive power. CALL YOUR REPS: calltoact.github.io/CTA/

"Trump and those flanking him, seemed to have been cast straight out of an 80s movie about high-school fuck-ups." Brilliant characterization. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

Oh. My. Fucking. God. Fight for the countries sake. We don’t need weaklings. Impeach Now or Resign.

Funny how nobody is talking about the #EpsteinFiles anymore 🤷‍♀️

As of 2024, 2,100 US children died of COVID-19. Over 91% of those deaths were in unvaccinated children. But @nytimes.com would rather promote the Trump FDA claim that 10 children died from the vaccine, instead of talking about the 2,100 that died without it.

Incredibly powerful episode. Stories like this make the cruelty of the trump regime's antiimmigrant policies brutally clear. My wish for Matt & Maddie is that they find safety and happiness in Poland. And that Maddie, as a US citizen, votes from abroad so these heartbreaks don't happen anymore.

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

“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.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law. A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.” Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

History doesn’t always wear a suit in City Hall. Sometimes it takes the subway. Zohran Mamdani sworn in underground, administered by Letitia James.

At the start of 2026, almost one year into Trumpist rule, America can no longer be counted among the world’s democracies. This is not some fringe assessment, but a diagnosis widely shared among scholars of authoritarianism in the United States as well as abroad.

Minnesota fraud is nothing more than a political hit job on Tim Walz. Once again, this regime goes after the people that hold Trump accountable. What’s up with those #Epstein files though⁉️

Perhaps for the first time ever, Trump's "Truth Social" is featuring the actual truth rather than Trump's lies. This can't last. I predict that Trump will call in Musk or some other tech bro to "tune" the AI bot to deliver only "alternative facts" that support autocracy and racism.

Must-read encapsulation of the insane year that was 2025, as only HCR can produce. Wishing us all a radically different and better 2026.

Even Kennedy’s authority has limits

NIH official resigns after flap over risks of seasonal flu virus study: "Things are about to take another sharp turn for the worse." Happy 2026. www.science.org/content/arti...

Since 1975, $79 trillion in wealth has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1% — a 1% that now owns more wealth than the bottom 93%. We can respect innovation & entrepreneurship, but we cannot respect the extraordinary greed that now exists. We need a wealth tax.

Millions of Americans remain at jobs they hate for one reason: the health insurance they receive. That’s absurd. Universal health care will give Americans the freedom to choose the work they want without worrying about health care coverage. Another reason for Medicare for All.

This is disturbing 😳

"Stephen Colbert has turned his show’s last hurrah into a torrid victory lap, and he’s done it by manifesting the show he’d always envisioned: a show about love and a show about loss." GIFT LINK: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/24/o...

More of this, please

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head. That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Who remembers the infamous Tuskegee syphilis study?

One of the things that gets me about this whole "replace people in publishing with AI" thing is that people in publishing (translators / editors / copy editors / authors / etc) are among the worst fucking paid people out there.

This was not unanimous

I think we're really only beginning to grapple with the fact that many (most?) people just don't read anymore. I understand why but I'm convinced that letting our brains run on podcasts, short-form video content and WhatsApp memes is going to be an absolute disaster for society
