NEWS: Bette Midler just released a new music video for her remake of "All You Fascists Bound to Lose"—featuring Barbara Hershey, other celebrities, and crowds from the No Kings protests in a joyful, powerful show of resistance. You have to see this.

Warren: "Why try to end independence of the Fed? Bc Trump's economic failures are causing him political problems, he wants the Fed to artificially juice the economy Having a sock puppet in charge of the Fed would also give the president access to the Fed's powerful authorities to enrich himself"

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

We lost important documents in the 2017 wildfires. Took over a month, a cumulative 10 hours of telephone time, & several $100s to replace birth certificates & Social Security cards with certified copies to get Real IDs for the 4 of us. Can you say poll tax? I knew that you could.

On this day in 1917, a Jewish woman was born in Warsaw. Living in France she was interned in Drancy before being deported to Auschwitz on the 22 Jun 1942 where she perished. Her name was Malka Goldstein Please support @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year. Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants. They are good for society and the economy.

As a Marine platoon leader in Vietnam, Mueller was shot and later returned to lead his platoon after his recovery. He received a Bronze Star for valor, a Purple Heart, 2 Navy/Marine Commendation medals, Republican of Vietnam Cross of Valor, and numerous other medals.

This is f—king real. What a pathetic scumbag of a president.

Everybody knows Franz Kafka, but almost no one knows his sister Ottla. She was gassed on arrival at Auschwitz on Oct 7, 1943 after volunteering to escort a group of orphans from the Terezin ghetto so they wouldn’t be afraid. Original post

Reminder: DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August. He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA. The grift continues.

One week ago. 🤡

Just had my last straw with Trump crumble. Heard that he said anybody who would vote for a member of Congress who supported a voting rights bill he opposed should not be allowed to vote. He is a want to be autocrat!

“I didn’t vote for THIS,” say the manosphere podcasters who simply had no way of knowing that Trump would lie about being a populist to get into office and then govern like a autocratic lunatic once in power, other than the fact that he did it for 4 entire years before that.

The Discourse has become sort of numb to the fact that the richest guy on earth and owner of a major social media platform just routinely spits out the kind of nakedly white supremacist shit that until a decade ago you rarely saw outside of places like Stormfront.

Once again, excellent, important brass tacks reporting from Marisa.

“.. one of the few policy ideas in his State of the Union speech .. is actually already on the books, thanks to a 2022 law signed by Democratic predecessor Joe Biden.” @huffpost.com @svdate.bsky.social www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

While Lauren Boebert is snapping pictures of Hillary Clinton in a closed-door deposition… This is the only photograph of a First Lady that matters when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. Depose Melania.

Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.

Twelve years stolen from Medicare’s future. Money collected from workers, promised to the elderly. Reassigned to those who already have too much. trump's wealthy donor tax cuts are literally killing us. The hunger at the top is never satisfied, it only asks who will be trimmed next.

Apologies. Posted the same clip on both posts. Here is the “FCC you” explanation from Colbert about WTf is going on: youtu.be/oh7DPSP65JA?...

Why is a rerun of a Deadline: White House on on a Monday afternoon on MSNBC?

HOLY CRAP: New Epstein files. Here is an FBI report: “Donald Trump had parties at Maralago called 'calendar girls' Jeffrey Epstein would bring the children in and trump would auction them off. He measured the children's vulva and vaginas by entering a finger and rated the children on tightness.“

A tale of two screenshots.

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!” So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it (H/T longtimehistory)

"We'll take our stand for this land & the stranger in our midst..." Powerful. Brutal. Inspirational. A loving tribute to Renée Good, Alex Pretti & the good people of Minneapolis. Plus, it name-checks all the villains: the Puppy Killer🐶, Pee-Wee German🇩🇪, the Orange Atrocity🍊💩 & above all: ICE🧊🚫 1/

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

So, Trump just said Alex Pretti in Minneapolis should not have had a gun.It was in his holster and an agent pulled it put before they shot him. Minnesota accountability.Thought Trump was a big NRA 2nd Amendment guy; unlike his Democratic opponent.👀

This five year old is still in jail

Excellent Tim Miller. A reshuffle of the faces in charge, and one guy leaving isn't even the beginning of being enough. We need ICE and CPB out of Minnesota. And we need fundamental changes in the behavior of ICE everywhere. youtu.be/2bhSngpnSxQ?...

ALEX PRETTI’S PARENTS: “He was a VA nurse who cared about people deeply, and he was very upset with what was happening with ICE... kidnapping children, grabbing people off the street — he knew it was wrong. He loved this country." (H/T @katiecouric.bsky.social )

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift. It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Law enforcement officers are trained to de-escalate conflict. These guys seem to be doing the exact opposite. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Let the picture of the little five year old boy standing facing the car and the old man being dragged out of his house with no shirt on, let those images burn into your brain. We don’t have to be this country. We don’t have to live this way. Donald Trump was a choice, Republican voters made for us.

Trump says we never got anything from NATO. What an uninformed person of my age. Remember the Cold War after WWII US vs USSR didn’t become a Hot War because of NATO—Western Europe stood with the US against Soviet threats and aggressive policies. The USSR had Eastern Europe (Warsaw Pact) vs NATO/USA

Trump is such a dummy—if not for US, Switzerland would be speaking German. 🤪🤪🤦🏼‍♀️

OK—need to remind Trump that to some of us he is a descendant of immigrants. I’m the descendant of colonizers on both sides. We were here by 1680. So, maybe he needs to be deported🤪

"A protester detained, her bra removed and wedding ring cut off, and some of her clothes never returned..." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/18/u...

Why does ICE keep reminding me of the Gestapo? Both have a “purification” one remove none Germans and the other none Americans (oddly enough they seem to tend to be only brown and black illegals, as if there are no white illegals)

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents. Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center. Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.
