#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks Good afternoon! I totally missed the morning greeting! Was talking on the phone to a good friend who is dear to my heart. We need to support each other, if we don’t, we will fail and suffer the consequences. Be kind, reach out, bring a smile to someone. 🍀☘️

This is the "testing the waters" phase of the playbook. The GOP ecosystem targets groups like Somalis, Haitians, and trans people specifically because they've calculated that the average person's passive disapproval won't ever turn into active defense. They're exploiting public apathy.

I leave you with a story this afternoon. The story of how 47 is helping his youngest kid to follow in his corrupt hooved footprints. Happy New Year, y'all!! #SheShed

Amazing collection of photos from @reuters.com capturing 2025…

The American people deserve to know the details and the legal justification when their military blows up things in foreign countries. But that transparency isn't happening because the dictator Trump sees the military as his, not ours.

The Roy Cohn lessons that has spread from Trump to all other MAGA politicians. We need to understand this to counteract what is going on. They are a mafia run organization.

It’s so nice to listen to educated people who know facts and have critical thinking skills.

Traitors 👇 Alberta independence meetings are happening at the highest levels in Washington with the US State Department. The U.S. views a free and independent Alberta as aligned with its national security interests. #cdnpoli

We haven’t just been filing lawsuits — we’ve been winning key victories protecting our civil rights and liberties nationwide. We aren’t stopping now.

Seems to me this is a pathetic exhortation but an air-tight confession of guilt

According to British intelligence, Russia’s losses since the beginning of the war have exceeded 400,000 killed and wounded. x.com/DefenceHQ/st...

UPDATE: CNN confirms that "the envelope [holding the Epstein-Nassar Note] was sent from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City [where Epstein was being held] to Nassar"—*and* got vetted by federal officials. Which explains the Virginia postmark (where the FBI is).

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

From 2018 to 2024, the tax rate paid by eight major retailers was slashed from 30% to just 17.5%. The CEOs of those major retailers were paid a collective $1.3 billion. Meanwhile, the average worker at those stores was paid less than $32,000 in 2024. Nothing trickled down.

Since I’m getting “what did I miss” from alot, Paramount Plus, owner of CBS spiked the El Salvador CECOT prison story yesterday on 60 minutes because it made the White House look bad. Cancel paramount plus Censorship. Bari Weiss

I am furious that DOJ ignored the new federal law requiring release of the Epstein Files. I am equally angry that so many in legacy media seem not to care. My latest for Democracy Docket lays out the case. Sign up now to access this and all premium content. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Goldman: This guy is so clearly trying to follow the Putin model—using the government to make money, making sure his allies control the most important companies in the country, including our media companies, doling out money by deregulating their industries, and taking money from them in return…

grown adults in charge of people's lives frequently sounding like when ur in 2nd grade and a classmate w diabetes has to go to the nurse to get a snack and another one of ur classmates is like "um. how come *I* don't get to go to the nurse to get a snack 🤨" except it's like. 50 yr old men.

No painting. No digital tricks. Just physics, timing, and the quiet power of the universe at work 🌌 Nature painted this moment itself, as charged solar winds collided with Earth’s atmosphere and unfurled the aurora into what looks like glowing wings across the night sky ✨

WTF? ICE is arguing in court that US CITIZENS can be detained, handcuffed, and biometrically screened unless they can prove citizenship on the spot. And that a REAL ID isn't enough. This isn't border security.

Friends!!! You know how obsessed I have become with Common Sense. Tom Paine published that pamphlet 250 years ago this January. I published an essay about it TODAY, in the New York Times. Common Sense remains relevant as ever. I hope you enjoy it. Gift article ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Want to know why the mantra of the Michigan anti-data center movement is #NoSecretDeals? This gif shows the redacted DTE contract for the Saline Michigan data center project. How are residents supposed to trust DTE or Related Digital when their contract is more blacked out than the Epstein files?

Undecided voter: “How can someone like you convince me that my vote matters” James Talarico: “They wouldn't be trying so hard to stop you from voting if your vote didn't matter — Texas is one of the hardest places to vote in the entire country. That is by design”

I am convinced America crossed an event horizon thirteen years ago, when even the deaths of elementary school aged children at the hands of a monster weren't enough for their government to say "enough is enough". Hard not to think that Americans would rather have their guns over their children.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
