“Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people.” – Rob Reiner

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago. His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship." He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

Remember when we were not losing jobs in droves, or at odds with all our allies, or attacking other nations for their resources, or deploying masked thugs to terrorize our citizens, or pardoning drug traffickers and violent criminals in exchange for bribes? It was only little over a year ago.

Fox News’ Chief National Security Correspondent. We are about to go to war for oil, while citing a lie as justification. Again.

It’ll always be insane and despicable that the orange convicted felon was given full power of the US govt instead of being sent to prison forever where he belongs and is now using that power to try throwing his perceived enemies in prison for fake crimes.

This is huge, right? They just Trump-proofed the Fed.

The wall near St. Michael’s Monastery in #Kyiv Here are the faces of the Heroes who gave their lives for Ukraine Here are ordinary people who did not want war -they wanted to live.But when Russians came to kill us,they stood up to defend their country This is the price Ukraine is paying 📹Oleg Kiy

Pretty much destroys Hegseth’s “fog of war” claim. It wasn’t a second strike in the heat of the moment, without an opportunity for careful assessment. It was just deliberate and premeditated murder.

The pipe bomber was part of the Jan 6 insurrection...and Trump pardoned them all. So why waste resources trying to find this guy? And why is he arrested. He is already pardoned.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

“What you have, I think, is that the president's fundamentally lost the battle of ideas. What you normally do with an economic program is you come up with some ideas and you try and convince people of the virtues of them. He has fundamentally failed.”

There is a reason why Witkoff did not want any officials with the State Dept or anyone else present during his many meetings w/Putin - he didn’t want witnesses to his treasonous behavior. Highly unusual, but makes perfect sense when you consider that he only cared about Russia.

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with: -No casus belli -No authorization from Congress -No allies or international support -No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela -No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey. This isn’t controversial. A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

Imagine the arrogance of coming to another country as an immigrant, becoming a citizen, and then having the audacity to publicly say you're ready to destroy their constitution. He should have lost his citizenship awhile ago.

"The unions claim the inclusion of a 'loyalty question' on federal job applications runs counter to the nonpartisan nature of the civil service, because it allows the 'Trump Administration to weed out those who do not voice sufficient support for President Trump and reward those who do.'”

@govpritzker.illinois.gov is allowing faith leaders to be singled out and targeted for state violence in Illinois. Call his office and demand he put a stop to it now: 217-782-6830. Credit to @mulchy.bsky.social for this footage, please follow them for more. #FuckICE #Broadview #Chicago

Dear MAHA—you’ve been conned by Trump and RFK Jr… food safety laws now decimated by industry lobbyists for their profits and your future diarrhea. Fun fact— food borne illness already surging since EFK Jr slashed CDC tracking system for food borne outbreaks. www.levernews.com/shutdown-dea...

"That is why I will sign the discharge petition right now to release the Epstein files" -- Rep. Grijalva

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

On the NBC news now: the admin is threatening to cut 20% of air flights. Everyone whose flight has gotten canceled should march on the Hill or their statehouses with big signs that say "GOP: Stop Being Massive Assholes & Support ACA Subsidies, Already" Someone please organize this for Monday.

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

I'm no lawyer, but the Supremes seem unimpressed by the President's lawyer in the tariffs case. Prediction markets have revised the probability of the White House winning (and the tariffs being found constitutional) from 45% to 30% in just half an hour.

Worth a watch. Supreme Court arguments not going trump’s way. www.msnbc.com/the-last-wor...

This is the kind of investigation James Comer was made for…

SNAP benefits will be gone, small businesses will suffer, insurance premiums will double, air traffic will be delayed/halted: All of these things are happening because when the gov't shutdown ends, the Epstein Files get released.

Free and fair elections are good for business. Having a stable rule of law is important to the economy. Not having people afraid to go to work because they might be beaten up or disappeared is essential to a productive workforce. Democracy is essential for a strong economy.

Tens of millions lost their food stamps this weekend, the first time in the program's 61-year history that this has happened.

When I told a friend about this she said, “but that’s when I get all my deals…” My response… what will you do when there are no deals, no food, no jobs, no homes…?

People are saying he aced the dementia test so hard they had to check whether he had two brains in there.

One year ago

They send armed goons to kidnap parents in front of their children and then get mad that we don’t thank them for “keeping us safe.” Hell isn’t hot enough for these assholes.

This is a take-one-for-the-team moment. Our country is dying, and Jack Smith knows it. He’s asking to testify publicly, so you know he’s got receipts. Doing this paints an even larger target on his back, and he's saying, "Fuck it." Go Jack!

NBC News finds that: -- ICE has shortened its training from 13 weeks to six. -- Nearly half of recruits couldn’t pass an open-book written exam. -- Recruits "are supposed to attest" they can pass the physical-fitness test, which requires them to run ... 6 mph. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Almost above all I look forward to the trials and convictions for those in this administration responsible for murdering fishermen and others without evidence or due process.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

BREAKING: Kristi Noem is now under Congressional investigation. Rep Garcia and Senator Blumenthal are demanding records from her for detaining 170 American citizens without warrants, charge, or lawyers.

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

#Fanone is a member for life….

So the feds have now directed states NOT to send out November SNAP benefits. A whole bunch of people are going to go hungry this Thanksgiving. FUCK THAT HEARTLESS DUDE! All he does is hurt people. If you haven’t donated to a food bank recently, now is a good time to start.

We got $20 billion for Argentina though.

Bring as many American flags to No Kings as you can.
