Forcing 300,000 workers out of their jobs created chaos for struggling families and jeopardized the services we rely on. And there's no evidence whatsoever that all these workers are now cashing in. The DOGE/Project 2025 cuts have been devastating for America's workers.

Make it viral.

It has been 395 days of continuous demonstrations in Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi. Our citizens demand the resignation of Georgia's mostly illegitimate and pro-Russian government, the release of political prisoners, and the return to a pro-European course.

In 2028 I will vote for whoever will send Stephen Miller to The Hague.

Nov. 10, 1975 The tradition at Mariners' Church in Detroit is to ring a bell 29 times: To remember each of the 29 men who died on the Edmund Fitzgerald: 30th time: To honor all sailors lost on the Great Lakes: 31st time Added after the death of Gordon Lightfoot in 2023 to honor the songwriter.

Watson in his autobiography, since he couldn’t completely erase Rosalind Franklin, pretended she had just provided amateur snapshots for the structure of DNA.

Seven million people in the streets for No Kings rallies has traumatized MAGAts even beyond the anti-Trump voter turnout on Nov. 4.

We are very far over the cliff here folks

Trump's Labor Department is gutting more than 60 regulations, including: -Minimum wage & overtime pay for in-home care workers -Organizing rights for migrant farmworkers -Penalties for companies that don’t maintain a safe workplace The “pro-worker” president strikes again.

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

His 2000-year-old Man as interviewed by Carl Reiner gives us hope that he is just getting started.

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

It is very good question and one I’ve been asking for months. If there is an international agreement with El Salvador for these renditions, the Trump administration is legally required under the Case-Zablocki Act to share it with Congress. To my knowledge, they have not done so.

Trump claimed to know nothing about the four soldiers.

I expected Jagmeet Singh’s election message would be, “Vote NDP to stop Poilievre/Trump!” Instead, it was, “Vote NDP to stop Carney!” Kinda tone deaf to the moment.

Canada can welcome the resistance as the 11th province without even altering the flag.

Tadaa.

Trump’s English-only EO will require demanding that Navajo Code Talkers return their medals and military wages, I suppose.

RFK Jr. said in his Fox News OpEd that “Good nutrition remains a best defense against most chronic and infectious illnesses”. The best diet in the world will not prevent infection if you are unvaccinated and sharing air with someone who has measles.

Now fight for a contract from Union-busting Amazon.

Birthright citizenship, and equal protection guarantees for all U.S. residents, was paid for with four years of blood. Wong Kim Ark made birthright citizenship even more ironclad with his victory before the Supreme Court in 1898, at a time when Chinese workers as well as Blacks were being lynched.

Thanks to everyone who are supporting justice for the survivors of the evil institution known as St. Anne's residential school. Canada suppressed evidence of horrific violence and abuse. The court battle for accountability continues. There is no reconciliation without justice for St. Anne's.

Here’s what the co-founder of Mr. Hegseth’s church denomination, Doug Wilson, has said about slavery, gay people, women voting. It was co-founded in 2021, so not some ancient denomination. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/05/u...

Useful to listen to those born under Stalin or Hitler, who can make the connection to the Trump regime.

This could be the start of a beautiful friendship.

Here’s tomorrow’s front page of the @latimes. All our fire coverage is here, and the paywall has been lifted: www.latimes.com/california/l...

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million. That is a lie. The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

Great news.

LETS DO THIS: Close your Threads, Instagram and Facebook accounts … at high noon on 20 Jan 2025 right after you do it to X. The #GreatTwitterWalkoff can also be the #GreatMetaWalkoff. Let’s do it simultaneously and show our power.

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

A bald eagle has died of bird flu. I can’t think of a better representation of the USA at the moment. Poor guy. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/01/07/b...

And, predictably, Trump's response.

Syrians, now with a voice, speak to Ukrainians.

The CM Genocide issue, perhaps the best yet. Essay by me on Bosnia. Another on the far right's use of genocidal Serb tropes. Plus the genocide of Chechens; the Pakistani slaughter in Bangladesh; Celine Kasem on Circassian &Syrian genocides; Kaamil Ahmed on Rohingya; Gaza; & much more...

I love how Denmark isn’t taking any shit from Donald Trump. 🇩🇰 🤣

Regardless of your shitty geopolitical analysis. Regardless of legitimate fears for the future. If you can't celebrate the collapse of one of the most brutal police states in history & liberation of prisoners from torture dungeons, then there is something wrong with your politics & humanity.

The prisoners have been freed from Qatana Prison in rural Damascus, and the detainees have been released.

A video showing the liberation of detainees from Sednaya Prison now. Congratulations to Syria!

Reading the pardon coverage...I don't think the significance of the Gaetz/Patel/Bondi nominations has sunk in. People still aren't getting what a politicized DOJ and FBI, with the power to arrest/bug/harass anyone for any reason, would be able to do.

Wow. Big if confirmed.
