“I was also struck by one word in Vance’s second sentence: “Don’t try to run over our officers with your car.” For Vance, they’re “our officers.” The Trump administration’s officers. Deployed in battle against non-compliant Americans like Renee Nicole Good.” www.thebulwark.com/p/a-killing-...

Walz: "I will continue to press that we be part of the investigation, that we do the investigation, so that Minnesotans can trust what the outcome is ... very very difficult to Minnesotas to think in any way this is going to be fair when Kristi Noem was judge, jury, and executioner yesterday."

Make it viral.

I don’t find it productive to shame people for ‘showing up late’ wrt to social awareness. We all show up when we show up. But I strongly encourage new people who show up to do so while assuming a listening posture. I promise, we’ve heard your ideas & opinions before, back when we were less informed.

This is what happens when the government goes hunting for imaginary criminals.

The fact that the murder victim was literally Good is a lot. Abolish ICE.

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

What a horrible, unnecessarily tragic and exhausting day, even by the standards of our daily horrors. The level of hatred that permits an officer to unload a clip on a woman point blank in broad daylight, while ultimately the act of an individual, is the natural outcome of systems that enabled him.

“She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

"We are becoming the kind of nation against which America used to defend others." lnk.thebulwark.com/4qiHiUs

We need MASSES of people in the streets. We need to make the last “no kings day” look minuscule in comparison. And something far more pointed than “no kings” as the anthem.

No, it was a successful coup. None of the people who led it were punished, and are in fact back in power, rewarded for their efforts to break the system by running it. Donald Trump is currently the dictator he attempted to become 5 years ago, and it’s because nobody treated trying as a crime.

What IS on people’s bingo cards?

Amy Poehler talks all the time about her Enneagram and I’d never taken the test. Decided to do so for fun - what number do you think I am? 😉

I’m already over this year. Next.

How. Thee fuck. Do people. Not know. What he is. Still?!?!

It’s THIS easy!!! 5calls.org

Call your reps + please read the thread. Do it now, please. Script.

- I've had family members willing to die over what we take for granted in this country. The very least people can do is to make a call or email or write a letter, and and if you don't want to, keep it to yourself. But I'm going to keep yelling, because I don't stand for illegal acts by POTUS.

I could just ignore this - and frankly, feel a little stupid not doing that - but there is a point to be made here on how politically apathy of this magnitude seems to be almost a uniquely American problem. I've mentioned before I come from a long line of Beijing and Taiwan activists, and my god-

It’s been a really long time since I’ve watched a Niners game and whooo boy these unis are ugly. What happened to the red and gold?

Tomorrow is gonna be the worst case of the Sundays ever.

Okay I’m finally trying to watch The Pitt thanks to all of you (especially Morgan) extolling its virtues. I got past the compound fracture fibula without losing my cookies. If it gets worse than that, I may be out.

I'm not trying to put the person I quoted on blast or be a quoting jerk in 2026, but I'm begging all of you: Stop accepting the inevitable. Americans have got to stop pleading apathy. Other countries know how to fight, and this is a lesson WE have to learn.

JFC do I hate this guy with every ounce of my soul. What an absolutely embarrassing and shameful and mortifying person to represent this country. What the fuck.

I can’t repost this enough.

What the FUCK?

It’s fucked up that trad media is barely covering Jack Smith’s testimony, but if you want 8 hours simplified into 1 thread, I got you. And please share so it gets the coverage this deserves…🧵 I'm going to write this as plainly as possible so people who aren't deep in the political sauce can follow

I wonder how CBS News would cover these stories from the "We love America and make no apologies for saying so" point of view

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

I love watching movies more than 10 years old for the normal faces and normal teeth. Life’s small pleasures and all….

I've seen Deuce Bigelow: Male Gigolo. It's not his politics.

Experts say Biden's focus on addiction health care saved tens of thousands of lives and slowed fentanyl smuggling. Trump scrapped Biden's approach in favor of military strikes. n.pr/4aE5knH

Whatever you do tonight to celebrate this ridiculous year coming to an end, please stay safe.

As fine an actor as he was, Isiah was an even better spirit and the greatest gentleman.

RIP, King Isiah.

"The documented record does not show a political party with a corruption problem. It shows a criminal organization using political power as its operating mechanism. The politics exist to enable the crime. The crime funds the politics."

Maybe 15 years ago I was in Western Massachusetts with a partner who wanted to check out the Norman Rockwell Museum. I only knew of Rockwell as 1950s kitsch and had low expectations. As it happened, we showed up while an exhibit on Rockwell's Civil Rights legacy was on display. Blew my mind.

Taxes yes, but I have no doubt this is really about elections.

Brigitte Bardot, sex goddess and unrepentant racist, has died.

Within 15 minutes today, I got two back-to-back notifications of deaths at ICE facilities. 28 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office. These facilities are overcrowded & are putting their own profits over health and safety. We need oversight & accountability NOW.

@Brian Merchant at Blood in the Machine has been doing powerful reporting on the carnage across many professions, thanks to AI and bosses eager to use its slop instead of paying humans. www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/i-was-forc...

I did it. I did it! I finally dumped Spotify!! I started here www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/a-complete... (TY @bcmerchant.bsky.social!!) Then used soundiiz.com for free to transfer EVERYthing to www.qobuz.com/us-en/, where they pay artists a lot more, don't support ICE, & HAVE BETTER SOUND QUALITY.

No but really can people think for themselves anymore?

That 2026 Kennedy Center calendar is gonna be emppppppppty.
