Elias is always on “team fight”, he said, because “as long as there is a legal fight to be had, we are going to have it.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Listen to the experts. Listen to your doctor. Listen to your body.

It’s not Alligator Alcatraz. The incarcerated folk there received a trial, however classist and racist the decision may have been. Call it Alligator Auschwitz because it’s accurate. No one has been tried. No one is guilty. And only 28% of those disappeared by ICE even have a so-called criminal past.

KIMMEL, on the Pentagon’s new reporting “pledge”: “.. They want to pick what the ‘news’ is. I know it’s not as interesting as muzzling a comedian, .. but it’s nuts that we aren’t paying more attention to it.”

Fact-checkers working hard to keep up…

He stood in front of the world at the UN today, and every other word out of his mouth was a lie. I’ll say it again, we’ve not been here before. An American President who lies as he breathes. It’s a terrible place to be. Shame on the media & everyone who’s normalized his lying and/or doesn’t care.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Kamala Harris on The View on election night: "That night -- I grieved in a way that I have not since my mother died. The pain was not at all about losing a race. I knew what it was going to mean for the country ... all I could say over and over was 'my God, my God, my God.' It was very difficult."

Some of us do.

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

Tylenol fights back. Tylenol.com

Kamala Harris: He had no plan for actually bringing down costs and prices for the American people. He had very few plans for what he would actually do that was about the American people, and not his vengeance on his enemies.

More distractions

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives. He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

Many American families struggle to put food on the table ...but we won't know how many after this year. 🍎 Food insecurity is apolitical 🍎 The fight against hunger is not a 🔴 or 🔵 issue, it's a human issue @hcwvshunger.bsky.social @tmprowell.bsky.social @shematologist.medsky.social

Palate cleanser break 🍋 This press conference is a crazy, mom-blaming, pseudo-science (actually just NON science), eugenic, word salad full-on train wreck. (Reposting a ton to clear out the stink.)

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate. I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man. Never change your last name.

Thanks John Oliver

When Democrats defend democracy, we are protecting not only its legal and moral infrastructure, but all of its concrete material achievements for the people, like Medicaid, Social Security and Medicare. When we defend democracy, we defend progress.

"I have spent the last few weeks addressing and preparing for a military invasion by the President of the United States. No, I’m not a soldier or a foreign adversary. I’m the Governor of Illinois"

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Hatred

Damn right — lock him up!!

I like this. I really like this. It exposes the rank hypocrisy of these ‘patriots’. Kudos to whoever wrote it via @thelondoneconomic.bsky.social

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

This is the way. Re-pledged to PBS, as well.

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...

There’s a reason I asked Pam Bondi if she was capable of saying “no” to the president.

For everyone saying this is an impeachable offense and worse than Watergate: Of course it is. But that doesn’t matter in the slightest, because this GOP Congress has completely abdicated their duty and will never do anything to hold him accountable.

Perfectly sums it up

🚨Governor Newsom said, no more masks. “What are you afraid of?” California legislators have written a bill, it has been passed, and signed. 👏🏻More👏🏻Of👏🏻This!

Farmer speaks out at GOP Rep. Alford's Town Hall: “Trump is not helping the farmer. When are you gonna stand up for us instead of kissing his ass for these trade deals?"

“One of my greatest fears is that too many Americans will get comfortable living in a dictatorship. We have already seen MAGA adherents express their desire to be ruled by a strongman who acts out their obscene desire for retribution against their perceived enemies.” open.substack.com/pub/noelcas

“If it weren't for SNAP, I wouldn't be where I am today…Republicans are trying to rip that lifeline away from millions of kids, veterans & working families.” @duckworth.senate.gov is serving a #CupOfJoe w/ a latte reality. Tell your Congressperson: vote NO on DJT’s budget.

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

MSNBC: In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now Trump's border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents win government contracts in a second Trump admin. Trump's DOJ just shut down the investigation into Homan's actions.

“Instead of a moral compass in the Oval Office, there’s a moral vacuum. Instead of a president who says we’re all in it together, we have a president who’s in it for himself. Instead of words that uplift and unite, we hear words that inflame and divide.” ~ Robert Redford
