South Burlington residents formed a human tunnel to rescue a three-year-old from an ICE raid without a warrant.

Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious. You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.

30 year old Far Side Comic:

Internal messages from Live Nation reveal two execs talking about "robbing [fans] blind." “These people are so stupid. I almost feel bad taking advantage of them," one says. That man is now the head of ticketing for the unit responsible for Live Nation's 150 amphitheaters.

Trump’s greatest crime is practically invisible. the dismantling of USAID has killed at least 600,000 to date. about 88 deaths per hour. It includes deaths from malaria, tuberculosis, HIV, malnutrition, diarrhea and more. Two-thirds of these deaths are children. www.salon.com/2025/11/19/t...

After suggesting people in poverty lack the experience to navigate the “real world,” Senator Jon Husted revived a familiar claim: poverty reflects personal failure rather than economic structure—an explanation decades of research reject. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/a-republic...

👹💡 💡💡💡💡 👹 Conservatives have been wasting our time forever. "We'd like to believe that when the government decrees what kind of light bulbs you can screw into the lamp in your own bedroom, even liberals would be nervous about the nanny state." WSJ, 2011 www.mediamatters.org/fox-friends/...

In South Burlington, Vermont, protesters are being tear-gassed by ICE and local police as they attempt to prevent a kidnapping.

I asked President Trump about the FBI reportedly seizing election records in Arizona. He said they must have done that because it was a “rigged” election. I pointed out to him that his own AG said there was not measurable voter fraud to overturn that election. Then he called me a rotten reporter.

MS NOW airs compilation of farmers reacting to rising fertilizer costs from Trump's Iran war

Life Hack: I was on the phone w/ an AI customer service agent that was insisting: (a) it couldn't fix the error the company had made, and (b) no live person could speak w/ me. I then said I'd file a complaint w/ my state's consumer protection office, and I was connected to a human in <1 minute.

The Apprentice www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFiW...

Helluva way to run a war, as the NYT reports. But the article doesn’t go far enough. WHY are his aides terrified of telling Trump the truth? Because the commander-in-chief is not OK in the head, that’s why. These reporters should say it instead of covering it up. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/u...

The idea that America isn’t for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. It’s antithetical to the concept of America.

The right call. No scientific meeting (even real ones) should be expecting non-US scientists to come into the country now (if not already committed to that).

ECCC was fun and I had a wonderful time. But there was a storm cloud. When I complained about Trump with my white straight cis friends, we were all sincere and concerned. But I talked with many Trans friends, and it’s so much worse. They are in fear for their lives. 1/

what makes me crazy is the inability of Dem leaders to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. Show courage. Act, for god's sake. Do what's right. Be loud. Oppose. Conduct yourself as if it is an emergency, Dems!

Husted: "People living in poverty are just not very, um, experienced at navigating the real world, right? I remember talking to one young lady who said, 'Well, I don't really know how money works at a grocery store,' bc she grew up & has lived all of her adult life using SNAP cards to buy groceries"

Yes, I’m religious. I believe in the Holy Trinity.

A good ad for Dems in 2026 www.youtube.com/watch?v=riDy...

man oh man Kat could do it

It was a lie, not an opinion. A blatant and obvious lie. Something he knew was a lie. And not just another one of the hundreds of lies he tells every day - a lie about the killing of at least 175 people, mostly girls who were attending school. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

The State Dept. painted humanitarian aid cuts as a necessary “disruption.” For the World Food Program, that disruption meant telling 300,000 refugees half of them would receive a meager portion of rice, lentils and oil. The rest would get nothing. (Published Dec. 2025)

How I learned about the power of propaganda

I don’t know what to say except that I’m ashamed of my government and officials must be prosecuted for any and all crimes committed.

The chaos across multiple airports is a totally unnecessary Republican-created problem. Dems have proposed funding for TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard, yet Republicans – who hold a majority in both the House and Senate – continue to hold these agencies hostage in order to get more funding for ICE.

Footage published by Iranian media today shows damage to Chehel Sotoon, a 17th century, Safavid-era landmark palace and garden located in the historic centre of Isfahan, after air strikes in its vicinity. The Persian garden that surrounds the palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

So we're all smarter than the Bank of America securities head of US Equity and Quantitative Strategy?

New GOP talking points are in.

The guy pardoned from a 22 year sentence for sedition. The coup succeeded.

There must be no mercy for the evil Trump Regime. None.

In a scathing review, the top US medical journal's editorial board warned that the "destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 in office might take generations to repair."

So the new Ayatollah Khamenei? Yeah, well: US-Israeli forces have killed his father, mother, wife, son, sister, brother-in-law, niece, and nephew in the past week—AND injured him.

Robert DiNero is a great actor. This is my favorite scene from The Untouchables. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgoD...

Two brothers from South Texas and their high school mariachi bandmates were recognized by their congresswoman last June for winning a state mariachi competition. Nine months later, the brothers, along with their parents and younger brother, are in ICE detention and facing deportation.

Never forget.

Biden: "We're in a tough spot, folks. We've got an administration that doesn't share any of the values we have. And I don't think I'm exaggerating."

Q: "You said you want to be involved in the selection of the next leader of Iran. Can you talk to me about that?" Trump: " We want to pick a president that's not gonna be leading their country into a war."

Senator Husted can’t testify in person in corruption trial due to '"Iran War," but did come to Ohio for fundraiser

70+% of goods are transported by truck in the US.

This post sent from what I imagine was 8:30am PT (assuming Kalinowski is on the West Coast) is yet another bright red warning flag at the convergence of several areas where red flags are already littering the landscape: the Trump administration, war, domestic surveillance, AI …

1) This is beyond horrific; 2) this does not encourage me to visit the US; 3) I don't think ticket sales for the World Cup and the Olympics in LA will do very well as more people hear about stuff like this.

I'd forgotten how hard the preface to DuBois's "Black Reconstruction" (1934) went...and am saddened by how contemporary it still feels.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective. He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

The location of the plaque that was just hung, is in a place that it will not be visible to the public. While I am thankful for this first step, our lawsuit continues until they plaque is hung in accordance with the law.

The United States killed all these children last Saturday. 170 of them. Every. Single. One.
