So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE. There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it. Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance. 24 hours. Go. www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/no-f...

This is absolutely deranged.

"The AI can’t do your job, but an AI salesman can convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can’t do your job. This is key because it helps us build the kinds of coalitions that will be successful in the fight against the AI bubble." www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

The president -Is occupying a major city with armed paramilitiaries -Is blackmailing treaty allies to hand over their sovereign territory -Is trying to set himself up as chairman for life of a UN rival with $1B fees for permanent membership -Is talking about canceling elections

There really might not be a better use of music in a TV show than when West Wing used "Brothers in Arms" at the end of Two Cathedrals.

So cool to see the broadcast -- great basketball and great sportscasting!

Holy hell.

The Sixers losing tonight is the absolute cherry on top of a truly crushing day. My emotional wellbeing is far too tied up with Philadelphia sports.

Jesus. Trump is just following the playbook.

Gov. Walz to MS NOW: "Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system … is a dangerous, authoritarian tactic. "The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her."

We are so proud of SLA - Center City alum and SLA@Beeber teacher Gina Dukes for the incredible work she does in SLA@Beeber's CTE Teacher Education Program! www.chalkbeat.org/philadelphia...

AOC connects the dots.

The Hague should make Pete Hegseth’s trial for war crimes a pay-per-view. We could end world hunger with the proceeds.

What a crap day for Philly sports.

Damn. Rest in peace, Bob Weir. Thank you for all the music.

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building. Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained. The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

If the #Sixers can stay healthy, they could be really good. At the trade deadline, their only move should be to figure out what contract to shed so they can sign Barlow and Walker to full contracts. Then, it's about this questions: * What is Oubre's best role - starter or super-sub w/ Grimes? 1/

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to: * 8 people shot * 5 of which were U.S. citizens * 2 died * no victims drew a weapon The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

This happened in Minneapolis after the Rachel Good murder. ICE agents are telling us they believe they have the right to kill us. ICE is Trump's personal paramilitary force, and it needs to be disbanded now.

Good god, why didn’t any of you tell me that The Pitt was going to make me just sit there and bawl my eyes out. Episode 8… how does any parent watch that without crying?

Is your dumb ass really asking why someone would try to drive away from a platoon of masked, Full Metal Jacket lookin' wockaflockas, stompin' into neighborhoods, breaking down doors and windows, draggin' men, women and children away with "absolute immunity"?

What will it take? What will it take for those who have the power and the duty to remove Trump from power lawfully to do so? How many people have to die? How many of our rights have to be stripped away? Every day, a new set of atrocities at every growing speed... What will it take?

This Steelers v. Ravens game is absolutely ridiculous.

So... when the #Sixers are fully healthy, they've got one of the best starting fives in the NBA with real depth as well. C: Embiid PF: George SF: Oubre SG: Edgecombe PG: Maxey Top Bench: Bona / Drummond Watford Grimes Secondary Bench: Barlow McCain Walker Everything is about staying healthy.

If you had any question about what this is all about...

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?

So... we're just a rogue nation now?

ACA tax credits expired on 12/31. Trump is not complying w Epstein release but what's come out is damning. Dead bodies in the Carribbean. Fragile peace in Ukraine and the Middle East. So House floor time next week will be dedicated to... rolling back shower head and energy efficiency standards.

Happy New Year, Bluesky... here's hoping for a better 2026.

Anyone else look around at the world today and think that Neil Postman’s Amusing Ourselves to Death might have been the most important book of the last 50 years?

The Bears v. Niners game was as fun a football game as there can be. Wow.

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Seriously… this is just so disturbing.

This is just a dumb loss by the Sixers. That said - they really miss Oubre.

A half-hour of commercials before a movie starts in a theater? It’s like the studios don’t want anyone to actually see a movie in the theater ever again.

Maybe it's everything going on in the world... maybe it's just getting older... but I was just bawling to the end of It's a Wonderful Life.

Despite last night’s depressing loss, I don’t want the Sixers to do much of anything at the trade deadline.* This team needs Embiid healthy. If he is, they can make a deep playoff run as is. If he’s not, no trade helps them. * Sadly, trade Gordon and free up the roster spot for Barlow/Walker.

Is this the oldest backcourt to ever be on the court together in the NBA? #Sixers

CBS News is no longer part of the free press.

PLAY THE SONG!!

If you have BritBox, watch “Blue Lights.” It’s really, really good.

They are the pettiest administration ever.

Rob Reiner was a magnanimous, caring, thoughtful, and gracious man. His impact on American culture — through film, storytelling, and civic engagement — was profound. It’s devastating to lose both Rob and his wife Michele under such tragic circumstances.

Between the Brown University killings, the pogrom on the beach in Australia, and Rob Reiner's murder by his own son... it's just all too much.

Just no. We really are living in the cruelest timeline.

Tonight, of all nights, we light the lights. And we remember that Hannukah is a holiday of hope in the face of oppression.

Wow. Refs just absolutely blew the end of game call against the Sixers. Clear backcourt violation.

Super important read. Irrespective of what you think about homeschooling, it is a mostly unregulated space that can lead to all sorts of abuse. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/14/o...

I cannot even begin to fathom how broken we are when kids are having to live through *two* school shootings.
