Why pick material to build new seats if no one will perform or attend?

I'm sure the 22 million people whose healthcare premiums will triple in six days are delighted by this news, you inhuman fuck.

Seeing lots of people post clips from Sinatra in "The House I Live In" as a response to Stephen Miller being a racist about Sinatra. Just a random reminder that "The House I Live In" is in the public domain. Every once in a while it's good to remember the public domain is good...

🚨 Judge certifies Prop. 4 ruling for appeal, but absolutely roasts Utah lawmakers for playing legal games. Judge Dianna Gibson said lawmakers had TWO paths to appeal her redistricting decisions but took neither. The Utah Supreme Court will now decide. utahpolitics.news/judge-scolds...

We condemn the scandalous US visa ban on former EU Commisioner Breton and digital activists. Protecting democracy isn’t censorship. ✋🏼 Disinformation isn’t free speech. Europe won’t take lessons from those undermining democracy and free speech. Here in Europe we set our own laws. 🇪🇺✊🏼

Here’s an easy way for DOJ to cut time redacting the Epstein files: waive any claims that information in the files is privileged. Stop hiding behind attorney/client, deliberative process, and work product privileges. Protect the victims. Release the rest of the files.

Happy Boxing Day to all who celebrate

I wrote this a year ago and it hit a nerve. It is still relevant today: Each time I have sat down to write something I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I cannot get out of my head. So, this week I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

163 years ago in Mankato, 38 Dakota men were hung in the largest mass execution in our nation’s history. I’m grateful to the riders who continue to remind us the importance of fighting for accountability and healing for the Dakota people. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

Let friends & family members know that when 1 class of people are denied rights & due process, NO ONE HAS RIGHTS & FREEDOM. This is because the government can "mistake" you for someone else like they DID as they arrested this pastor on Christmas Eve. Then they deny YOU your rights. #ICELAWLESSNESS

Of course they are making child sex assault legal & great again Another present for the maga rapists

One observation about the “Heritage American” discourse is that the same people advancing this false and amorphous definition of authentic Americans are the same people who love to claim that *their* ancestors all arrived after Emancipation…

Trump sure looked miserable at his Christmas party 😂

The good news is that we do have power. Tyrants don't want us to know it, but by raising our voices, calling Congress, marching in protest, talking to others, recording & sharing these stories we are making a difference! We need more people, so help spread the #ICELawlessness hashtag & SPEAK OUT!

In case you need a positive reminder: How effective is protesting? According to historians and political scientists: very www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

regular US policing.

Of course! They need people to fill the warehouses they’re building. These sons of bitches are out of control.

This just makes no sense. Arresting folks who are trying to leave the country? It has to be about the bounty they get for each person they abduct.

…. Because TRump’s buddies are making money off their detention. This is one huge money making scheme for them. Disgusting.

Congress should not let up on contempt for Bondi. They must bring her b4 committee, under oath. Except this time when she starts with her CRAP, they must be prepared to have the Sgt. At Arms, put her in cuffs. Period.

Sounds Great Steve! I feel Motivated now.

I love the smell of panic in the evening. Smells like…victory

Remember when we never even needed to think about this stuff?

This is not specific to ICE JSYK. When my mother was evicted from our old family home, they helped themselves to our things too. And I hear of people who, when they are taken into police custody, have their personal possessions (ordinary, non-problematic items) lifted from them out of greed.

Remember when Democrats read out loud from Project 2025 on a national prime-time TV broadcast?

THESE are the people ICE goes after! PROTECT THEM! Support Carlos and Javier This Christmas Season ♥️💚♥️💚♥️💚 www.gofundme.com/f/support-ca...

Poor Donald. He's so stupid and confused. He thinks Barack Obama (who was no longer in power) controlled the 2020 election. And he thinks Joe Biden (who wasn't yet in power) authorized FBI agents to be sent to the Capitol on Jan 6, 2021, when DOJ reported to Trump.

Billionaires threaten this every time something vaguely left-wing is on a ballot (they just finished threatening to leave NYC two months ago), and never understand why, "I, Adolf Bork, inventor of the beloved Dystopia Machine, will reduce my presence in your life forever" doesn't win people over

"Every accusation is a confession" remains undefeated

Clinton: Don't trust me, release the files. Trump: Don't release the files, trust me.

The White House posted a pic of Trump in the Oval Office, but he is actually at his West Palm Beach golf club right now

I say his gently, but… There’s something unspeakably shameful The United States letting people go hungry. Not because its government doesn’t fix it — but because tomorrow a few private Americans could, and never notice the cost. That’s the part that sits wrong.

"Later that month, Hoda’s parents received a surprise call from the W.H.O. It had not been informed of her death... Italy had agreed to welcome her for treatment. In early November, Israel, which was also unaware that she had died, approved her departure." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/26/w...

I lost my job and had to give up my health insurance when the premiums exceeded $40,000. But at least I know some of those uppity student loan borrowers will have their wages garnished starting next month.

Remember when all Ratpublicans would talk about how evil activist judges were, how democrats were using them (Not really). Now that they’ve gerrymandered every state red they are all into activist judges-including SCOTUS.
