More than 5,000 people here in Powderhorn Park protesting ICE’s occupation of Minneapolis. #FuckICE #iceout #mpls #FuckTrump

A wonderful description of "Fascism" written by and for the men and women that confronted and defeated it in WWII

ICE's word is worth nothing. Negative credibility

NEW for @propublica.org: We analyzed flight data to see how passenger planes were affected by SpaceX's starship explosions. We identified 21 planes that appeared to make sudden turns to exit the debris zone in the minutes after the explosion. www.propublica.org/article/spac...

The Republicans will not display this Congressionally approved plaque honoring the police officers who defended the U.S.Capitol on January 6th, when it was attacked by a Trump supporting mob. I am grateful to these officers who risked, and 5 of whom gave, their lives in the line of duty.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

While I normally focus on AI deepfake pornography, there's an under-discussed AI-gen harm that's particularly prevalent during the holidays: AI product scams. We counted down the top 10 holiday scams to look out for this year (check out the video), but here are some extra highlights below

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

SOME GOOD NEWS FOR A CHANGE…👇 Enjoy. 😎🌈✨

Nurses save lives every single day, and now the Dept. of Education wants to make their degrees harder to afford. In the middle of a national shortage. It makes ZERO sense. I work beside these heroes. I see what they give. And I’m not staying quiet while Washington makes their path even harder.

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

American inspections of foreign food facilities — which produce everything from crawfish to cookies for the U.S. market — have plummeted to historic lows this year, a ProPublica analysis of federal data shows. By @anniewaldman.bsky.social and @bxroberts.org

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

The majority in Congress deliberately abolishing their own power might legitimately be a problem the Founders never considered.

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected 43 days ago. Republicans still refuse to swear her in because she is the final vote needed to release the Epstein Files.

Since Congressional Republicans failed to extend ACA premium tax credits, half a million Pennsylvanians are going to be paying an average of 102% more for healthcare premiums. This isn’t just a talking point: this is the reality for folks across the Commonwealth.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Alternatives:

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

The Epstein Recess continues.

Don’t laugh at this. Don’t dismiss it. They’re serious. Prepare for it. And get ready to fight against it.

Swear her in‼️🇺🇸

It’s been three weeks since Adelita Grijalva won her election, but Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in — all because she would be the final signature needed on the discharge petition to release the Epstein files. He’s denying AZ-07 a voice in Congress. Swear her in now.

"Trump’s Addiction to Watching Fox Is Killing American Democracy" Our country is falling apart because one old man, Trump advisers and former administration officials say, won’t stop ‘yelling’ at his TV, writes Zeteo's @swin24.bsky.social:

Actually one of the most salient quotes I've seen today, and reminding of the fact that there always be good people being very brave.

This sadly demented man doesn't realize *he* was president on Jan 6, 2021. Get him in an assisted living facility ASAP.
