Sending jack-booted thugs to invade American cities. Unilaterally launching wars and plundering foreign nations. Suspending funding for states that voted against him. Trump is the "big government" nightmare Republicans have always warned us about. And yet they're silent.

And, the word of the day is now "perfidy." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/u...

Federal agents don’t seem to understand the laws they operate under… 🤔

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Join a weekend of nonviolent protests across the South Bay to demand accountability and an end to the escalating ICE violence that has been terrorizing our communities.

"A broad national coalition... is calling for a coordinated ICE Out For Good Weekend of Action on Saturday, January 10, and Sunday, January 11. In less than 24 hours after the announcement, there are already 1000 events anticipated nationwide." Find a local event here: www.mobilize.us?tag_ids=29132

JONATHAN ROSS THREAD: 🧵 I think a certain # of women have seen the video from Ross’s cellphone showing the taunts that led to Renee’s murder. And we feel in our bones that we’ve left immigration officer territory and entered domestic violence territory very quickly. Here’s why: 👇🧵

1. The first thing that should be said about the fatal shooting in Minneapolis by a federal immigration officer is that the victim’s name is Renee Nicole Good.

This bizarre and dangerous claim violates literally every section of our Constitution, which was built by geniuses explicitly to limit individual power. Those entrusted with enforcing our Constitution have a duty to every Conservative and Liberal American. A duty to act. Now.

This is my favorite, non Venezuelan related, post today. Thanks @laurajnelson.bsky.social

Plus: a quick guide to the two-step process for opting out.

Unless held to account by Congress, SCOTUS, the press, the military, the American people and world leaders/people… this administration will continue following its playbook and trample over every constitutional, international, and moral law.

“This is what American power looks like now: the most expensive military on Earth deployed from a golf resort while its caretakers panic-scroll public opinion like they’re stalking an ex who just blocked them, waiting to see if anyone noticed they’d just fucked up history.”

This post should be the lede on every front page today or news broadcast… and yet it won’t be.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

It’s. Always. About. Resources. Cough cough oil. 🙄

If you are a resident of California, the state now has a portal where you can demand deletion of your personal data from 500+ registered data brokers with a single request form, for free. consumer.drop.privacy.ca.gov

This should seriously be front page news everywhere. It should be top story on MSM… and yet here we are.

Sinatra was particularly outspoken against “race- & color-haters,” whom he blasted in a 1991 op-ed for The LA Times titled “The Haters & Bigots Will Be Judged: Some words from a ‘saloon singer’ to those who still haven’t figured out the whole point of America.” www.latimes.com/archives/la-...

I still can't quite believe that Ukraine has had to spend most of 2025 negotiating with the US, their own ally, cause the US keeps trying to force them to surrender to russia. This is absolutely insane. • Maniam Akash • #RussiaIsATerroristState #TrumpIsPutinsPuppet #StandWithUkraine Thread 1/3🧵

From @theathletic.com: Photos of Carlie Irsay-Gordon wearing a headset, notebook in hand, started going viral over the summer. The co-owner of the Indianapolis Colts is younger than her peers, with her own distinctive vision of how an NFL owner can lead.

One of the most successful propaganda campaigns of our time is the right-wing claim that liberals dominate the media. The right has pushed this myth for decades on Fox and other outlets. You know about it because RIGHT-WING MEDIA HAVE A HUGE MEGAPHONE. My thread. 1/10 🧵

I love this song so much: 🎵 Now it's making sense to me. 🎵 An acapella duet called "Build A Ballroom" 👀 sung by Ken Sandberg & A Gift From Todd An extraordinarily creative way to say that Trump is building a 350 million bunker funded by his elite tech friends for when shit hits the fan.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Like seriously? Pot meet kettle. Musk and his “experience” just cost the federal government more money than it saved, along with literally adding a death sentence to people around the world and in the USA with some of the DOGE actions. Sit down and STFU.

#Cher is a badass.

From my experience… this tracks.

This post for the win.

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers. An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers. @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social

So the "most transparent president in history" won't let Jack Smith's testimony become public. He's got them holding back tens of thousands of Epstein documents, haven't seen his taxes, his school records, and no one knows why the East Wing was destroyed before he even had ballroom plans. Yeah.

Wow. I never thought I’d see the day… Almost makes me regret years ago teaching my dog that “Romney” meant “do your business” on walks.

The building will crumble…

If this were true, they wouldn't be banning the medical care that does this.

We are not far away from @stephenking.bsky.social stories becoming real life…

With the latest mass shooting at Brown University, this might be a good time to mention that Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban reduced mass shooting deaths by 43% - but after George W Bush & Republicans let it expire, mass shooting deaths spiked by 239%. It's the GUNS -Joann Duman
