"Looking back, I imagine I was always writing. Twaddle it was too. But better far write twaddle or anything, anything, than nothing at all." Katherine Mansfield, who died on this day in 1923

can you imagine what awful parents the Millers are

If you’re going to kidnap a dictator why wouldn’t you start with Putin? Make sense?

Geographer Ellen Churchill Semple was born #OTD in 1863. A founding member of the Assoc. of American Geographers (1904), she was its first female president, 1921. Significant contributor to the early development of the #geography discipline (US) & a leading figure in #humangeography. #WomenInSTEM

🔥 @timmiller.bsky.social: “You’re telling me he was scared for his life? Are you sh*tting me?? The car is barely moving. He orphaned her child, then called her a ‘f*cking bitch’… it’s not a tough call. This was murder.” Full @thebulwark.com video: youtu.be/oc9gwMDxYAQ?...

Today marks 15 years since Gabby Giffords was shot at a constituent meeting, in an attack that killed 6 and wounded 13. I am proud to cosponsor a bipartisan, bicameral resolution to honor the victims and their families today, and recommit to ending gun and political violence.

They’re going to handle this the way they handled the Epstein files.

NONE OF THIS IS GOING TO STOP UNLESS WE MAKE IT STOP. #FightFascism #FascismInAmerica

The video does more than raise questions about the bogus claims of Trump and Noem.

A Civiqs Poll this week revealed that support for abolishing ICE is at an all time high among Americans.

Who’s gonna tell him that 1/ having Trump’s America as a neighbour is a highly undesirable state of affairs 2/. Russia is America’s neighbour….separated by just 2.4 miles. You’d think he’d remember that given he met Putin there (instead of arresting him per the ICC warrant for war crimes).

But he's not demented...

Re: Epstein If the files are a Democrat hoax.. Why the the redactments? Why the slow walk?

Massie reminds the DOJ that laws will outlast regimes.

Who would have ever thought that it would be a president of the United States who would threaten to invade NATO territory and not Vladimir Putin?

👏👏👏👏

Totally normal procedure for someone who is supposedly under federal investigation. I'm sure they're just making sure his collection of "WWII memorabilia" is safe.

Apropos of absolutely nothing to do with the masked men with no visible agency insignia carrying crates of who knows what out of the shooter's house, but HBO just released an amazing documentary into DHS "shadow units" whose job was to destroy evidence of Border Patrol's crimes

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers. Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

Frey: "This notion of inflammatory comments -- c'mon guys. I dropped an F bomb, they killed someone. Which one of those is more inflammatory? I'm going with the killing somebody."

Speaking of “weaponization,” Trump’s new assistant Attorney General will be overseen by Trump & Vance & run out of the White House, not the DOJ, as revealed by Vance.

“‘We are being subjected to neocolonial aggressiveness by certain parties,’” Macron said “after the United States attacked Caracas” & the “Trump administration insisted on a possible annexation of Greenland” 1/8/26

14 signs of fascism

Note that the subhead is undoubtedly a lie. Noem claimed he had been dragged "in June" and the only things I could find from that timeframe were bullshit lies from DHS that were not backed up by eyewitness statements. Jonathan Ross, welcome to your time in the barrel.

Garcia: Donald Trump thinks it’s over. He doesn’t really understand the breadth of what we’re doing here. There is so much new information about Mar-a-Lago—what their role was in the trafficking

Helen Andrews' list of "male" virtues (free speech, rule of law, closed borders) vs "female" vices (censorship, emotion, immigration) is arbitrary cherry-picking dressed up as evolutionary psychology. @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com

This is incredibly stupid on the part of the cops. Who do they think pays their salaries, Donald Trump? Minneapolis is going to have to start over on their police department. Newark did it, so can they.

"If the American state can designate Black people and immigrants as homo sacers, then political expediency is the only thing that prevents its masters from doing that to any other class of people." publiccomment.blog/p/the-poison...

"That pretty white lady deserved what she got 'cause DEMOCRATS" yeah, I guess we'll see how this messaging goes over with Minneapolis residents but I'm going to guess not well.

Costco, Revlon, J. Crew, Dole, Reebok and more have filed lawsuits in hopes of getting their money back.

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

ICE is murdering people. No arrest, no judge, no jury. These are executions!

Ice shouldn’t be killing people period paragraph This is not controversial

Everything that's happening is making me feel increasingly speechless So much to say and yet none of it seems to matter All of what is happening was predictable but there was just zero appetite to stop it in the circles that could easily have Instead they enabled it all to protect their position

INSANITY EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK

Wow

💔🇺🇸🔄

THIS IS A FAKE AI VIDEO! THERE IS NO CREDIBLE EVIDENCE OF DOCUMENTS TRUMP TOOK TO MAR-A-LAGO SHOWING UP IN DUBAI. THE NAME OF THE YOUTUBER WHO POSTED THIS IS ALSO A BIG CLUE THAT IT'S FAKE. THE AI FAKES ARE GETTING VERY GOOD BUT THEY'RE STILL FAKE. LEARN TO SPOT THEM. DO THE RESEARCH!

Folks, the AI fake videos of people like Rick Wilson and George Will are all over the place. If it sounds too good to be true, verify what the video is claiming. The fakes look very real, so you've got to be very careful before believing and sharing them.

PLEASE WATCH! www.youtube.com/watch?v=YysO...

I wonder where all the folks are who said the founders built an unbreakable democracy.There were no guardrails. No real protections. Just norms, values, & people choosing not to cross the line. Today we’re learning the system was never stronger than the morals of those holding power. #Pinks #Momsky

Mayor Frey is my new hero. I saw this live, and this is exactly what he said. Bravo, Mayor Frey! www.thedailybeast.com/minneapolis-...

NEW: MAYOR FREY: “They are already trying to spin this as an act of self defense. I’ve seen the video myself and I want to tell everybody directly; that is bullshit.”

Talk like this. Plainly. Honestly. None of this “I invite my friends across the aisle to join me”. Treat them like the people they are: unwilling to do anything to help unless you’re wealthy
