I'm old enough to remember when CBS News and journalists like Edward R. Murrow held power to account, instead of capitulating to it.

I know today is a very dark day in U.S. history but it's also the twelfth anniversary of my last cigarette so it's also a good day for me.

If ever there were a time you might want a separate but equal branch of the United States government to run a check on the president, it would be now ….

Generational hatred for the United States is our largest export. #foreignpolicy #trump

What in the holy propaganda is this?!

Happy 11th Birthday to the coolest dude around. You are the best decision we have ever made and we are thankful for you every day. Thanks for being our pal, our little buddy, and every other silly little nickname we have for you, Conan. We love you. #Birthday #Dog #Conan

The Black Plague will be next. Make America Medieval Again!

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

As Toni Morrison said, "the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work." But she also reminded us never to lose our capacity to be shocked. Part of my conversation on @ayman.msnbc.com earlier today.

Mike Johnson doesn't know sh*t

The 2028 Olympics are going to look a lot like the 1936 Olympics.

Hi, Canada, quick question from one of your neighbors to the south. At what point will you begin accepting American refugees? Asking for a few million friends. Thanks! Can't wait to have your poutine! Go Hockey! #Canada #Refugees

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Kroger will lay off ~1,000 employees. In December, it announced $7.5B in stock buybacks – which juice stock prices, enriching shareholders and boosting CEO pay. Just so happens that Kroger's last CEO was paid 457x its typical employee in 2024. Textbook corporate greed.

Being a @mets.com fan feels like being a hostage sometimes.

This is the first step in forming our own country. It may take years but it starts with this. History will look back on this one day. The Northeast Union of States.

Pay attention. Your family’s safety is on the line.

Dems are apparently "looking for a platform" when the answer is right there: Stop running away from thing that actually help people. Food, housing, healthcare, no genocides, everyone's rights and bodily autonomy protected, a livable world, and all of those things viciously, deftly defended, always.

Not very Nobel Peace Prizey. #Trump #Nobel thehill.com/policy/defen...

Political parties have control over the terms of primary elections. The DNC has the power to ban Super PAC spending. If Democrats really want to become the party of working people and fight the forces that brought us Trump, they must disavow Big Money.

The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.

The party of "states rights". I'm just glad that there isn't anything more serious going on in our country or, you know, the world. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

MAGA is so fucking ridiculous with their performative outrage. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Control the blue cities and you will control the blue states, control the blue states and, well, game over.

His supporters will justify anything he does and those who don't will be silenced. We are now in a Cold Civil War.

There's no going back at this point. We will not be reunited as a country. That hope is gone. To avoid a civil war & pointless deaths we need to start having the conversation of a national civil divorce. Even if it takes 10 years to implement, we should start now. We are two nations, not one.

Your childhood has many deaths. You don't realize the first one because you're young and have no perspective but the others are slaps in the face. Malcolm Jamal Warner Ozzy Osbourne Hulk Hogan It's been a crazy week. My childhood is dying a slow and painful death.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

I mean...what could go wrong? www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Fuck.

Please remember that they may wave our flag and they may wear our colors but patriotism isn't topical. Patriotism is rooted in the belief that the words of the Constitution matter for all, that the words of the Pledge we all took as children matter. - Liberty and Justice FOR ALL. #NoKings

There's not enough popcorn in the world for the show that's unfolding right in front of our eyes. Giddy the fuck, people!

Trump's family has deals to build luxury resorts and hotels in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. And their crypto firm will be used by the UAE to make a $2B deal — netting the Trumps hundreds of millions of dollars. His "diplomatic trips" are blatant self-enrichment opportunities.

One day apart. #Corruption

I'm 50 & a registered Dem & I support @davidhogg.bsky.social's efforts to reform the DNC. The establishment is terrified of losing their comfy posts. If the DNC won't allow new ideas then we should leave the DNC en masse & start over. The old ways are over. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Why don't we have tariffs on imported racists?!? www.tiktok.com/t/ZP86m4RHg/

Today is the 111th birthday of Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre
