God bless the hostages. Giving thanks for their release and mourning those who were murdered in custody.

Speaker Mike Johnson lies so routinely, one would think he would be better at it by now. #SwearInGrijalva

This is Antifa. Which, I guess, makes Republicans Profa.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Rep-Elect Adelita Grijalva announces her election results will be OFFICIALLY certified tomorrow, destroying Mike Johnson’s last excuse to delay her swearing in. “Mike Johnson needs to do his job so I can do mine.” No more lies. No more delays. Swear her in!

If Trump's laying off 'non essential' government employees, how the fuck is Stephen Miller still employed?

They accidentally released the missing three minutes of the Epstein prison video.

Groundbreaking research released today measures the health impacts that Woodside's Scarborough Gas Project will cause. It shows the harm to our health and the health of our environment. We cannot pretend that greenhouse gas emissions from any one fossil fuel project don't count.

War torn Portland. I am

My mom came home from the hospital today for Hospice comfort care. She gets oral morphine every two hours. The crazy part is that the entire country is running out of morphine. Doctors & nurses here in Ohio are panicking along with me. 1/

Nearly 40% of young men don't see sexual assault as domestic violence. This shocking statistic from a national survey highlights a dangerous gap in understanding abuse.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day.

Plagiarized Peace Plan —new band name, I call it!

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.

Arrest him.

I'm outside the church, greeting every one with, "Welcome, sinners!"

In twelve days, New Yorkers will begin to cast their ballots and face a stark choice. A choice between democracy and oligarchy. Between a city you can afford or more of the same. Between the hope of a brighter future or a broken past. We will choose the future.

Buried inside the Big Beautiful Bill is a time bomb...one that detonates the balance of power. You weren’t supposed to read this clause. That’s why I did. A single section hidden deep in the bill quietly neuters the courts. It’s that serious.🔥👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Big roar for AG Letitia James at the ZOHRAN rally👇🏽

You need to see this: “The show of force is the point. They want these images to be out…The Department of Homeland Security is walking around Chicago with a film crew.” @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social

I think tariffs hurt consumers, police shouldn't wear masks, and the President must obey the law - and shouldn't use his office to run personal profit-making schemes on the side. This apparently makes me a radical Marxist.

This Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for the members of the Canadian Armed Forces serving abroad. While most Canadians gather with loved ones, they stand on guard — sacrificing time with their families to protect ours. Thank you for your service and dedication.

Just want the rest of the country to know that the Alaska National Guard is being deployed and utilized for ALL THE RIGHT REASONS today! They’re aiding with search/rescue and disaster relief to several Alaska Native villages hit with a climate change induced natural disaster They’re saving lives

Solidarity is the only way

LOOK UNDER THE COUCH!

“dressing up as animals is insulting, this is war” is kind of a particularly bad complaint for Portland because they’ve been doing black bloc streetfighting shit for like, years at this point and the feds clearly aren’t scared to come back. might as well give “embarrass them” a shot.

"We have an economy where a handful of modern-day robber barons wield extraordinary power. They hold enormous control over our paychecks, our bills, our time, and our futures. ...But the good news is that nothing about any of this is inevitable." - Lina Khan

George Stephanopolous did what every anchor and host should have been doing since Bush 2000: Rejecting the bullshit, gaslighting, and rude, evasive filibustering the GOP has perfected to hide their lies. NO MORE BULLSHIT.

Today, I'd like to say- The Taino were the people of Borinquen. Borinquen was later renamed to Puerto Rico. Some Taino words remain today. Words like hurakán = hurricane, barbacoa = barbeque. The Taino greeting is Taino-ti Which means - "I greet you with love because you are family."

My favorite aspect of the Columbus legend is him getting rejected by the Portuguese gets spun as them not recognizing the genius of his idea. No - he went into a roomful of expert navigators and made basic math mistakes, they thought he was a moron, and they wouldn't fund his idea on that basis.

IIRC they are also giving VIP treatment at ICE recruiting stations to applicants who have done recent prison time for alleged crimes committed between January 5, 2021, and January 7, 2021.

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited. It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

Who agrees? ✋

Whoa! This came after! 👏🏼

Just when I thought it was hard enough being a special education teacher… US government: “hold my beer” 😓

WAR-TORN PORTLAND

ICE is terrorizing people in the United States of America. Why would you call it anything else? That's exactly what it is.
