okay look, i support whatever she could plausibly say she's going to do here, but it would be really, really funny if It Happened tomorrow

Even if states didn't desperately need the money, we should tax billionaires into millionaires just to avoid this obvious outcome.

This Steve Bannon? www.jmail.world/person/steve...

recording protestors is not only fine but an actively good thing to do

One way to look at this is when you say no to trump you win and the other is a whole lot of people were happy to say yes before even trying to say no, so

Oakland Bike/Book nerds, has anyone done an Oakland Library System bike tour? I might spend a day this week doing this, if anyone else is lightly employed and wants to join me, hit me up!

This shopping cart is the only thing left of our neighbor who was killed by a distracted driver on this dangerous known by all to be built for suburban car highway access, not for people.

What a difference it makes to have elected leaders who actually love the places they live in and want to share that love with every constituent.

Any individual senator can choose to vote no on everything, object to all unanimous consent, insist on quorum calls, and deny voice votes until the administration is impeached, convicted, and removed.

It’s a cop playing candy crush and falling asleep in his cruiser for 14 hours. The city will be billed for six hours of overtime

The fact that both are quite experienced—8 years and 12 years with CBP—is yet more evidence that CBP should be abolished and all of its agents fired. There's no way to "reform" or "retrain" that, it's just a violent gang with badges.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

It's so maddening to see our Oakland school district scrambling to find $100 mil needed to meaningfully educate our children at the same time Oakland police officers are exposed as scamming us for $100+ mils in overtime.

me, emotionally writing an essay on the use of force by federal agents: ok but what if i packaged this in the most insane way possible www.theverge.com/policy/86857...

Don't let me catch you hating on Chuck Schumer on here. The man has been in office since 1980. I *think* he knows a little something about politics. Do not ask me what's happened to politics since 1980 please

It's been fascinating re-listening to the Paris Commune season (8) of the Revolutions Podcast in light of what's going on in Minneapolis. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

This Weeks Editorial Cartoon: That’s Norway to Treat a Lady

In the grand scheme of things, my unusual (to Americans) name being spelled wrong is a pretty minor annoyance, but hoooooow is it so hard to copy the name from the email you just received?

until the tiger got into my house, i thought we should hold off on saying there was an escaped tiger marauding in the neighborhood, to avoid alarmism

My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti Absolutely heartbreaking

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Memory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.

Listening to This Day podcast is great cause every time you think our times are unprecedented they drop an episode about Johnson, Teddy Rosevelt, or Nixon and it helps us see we've always been like this.

If anyone works at major HR firms and platforms (Salesforce, Workday, etc.) and has info about what drove adding these questions to job applications in the last few months my DMs are open and my Signal is SydneyBauer.30 You will have anonymity.

For some reason, very few people these days will stand up and say it, but: the US federal bureaucracy is one of the great wonders of the world, staffed with incredibly diligent people who do their jobs well and care deeply. Trump's destruction of the federal apparaus was a historic crime.

Hard not to draw a line between the lack of fear being shown in the face of ICE goons and the fact that right-wingers have spent a decade talking about how scary trains are. They just keep signalling their cowardice over and over.

If you work for the Minnesota National Guard, text me via Signal app at 202-510-1268. I will protect your anonymity.

I told this person I don't drive a car in California and they lost their mind.

"we don't want people thinking Democrats are for open borders" I am! who gives a shit!!! my life has been immeasurably improved by the presence of immigrants in my community, regardless of their status, there is literally no downside there! why would I give a shit!!!!

Now that christofascists are ascendant is it finally time for the radical left to once again unabashedly call out the role of preachers in dividing the working class? www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3wF...

This is why you shouldn’t ignore a jury summons. Because you can be like ‘lol’ and acquit someone in a half hour

Good summary of “don’t give him what he wants” from relatively comfortable white liberals.

tom homan I'm going to keep it real with you: I will die of poverty before I miss the chance to call an ICE agent a little bitch to his face

I think this is worse than a pig being offended by a Starbucks barista's portrait.

protestors have painted what appears to be a tunnel on the side of the mountain, causing ICE agents to run into the mountain at full speed. disgusting.

Civil war is upon us, whether we risk it or not

As a small woman I think it’s pathetic to feel the need to carry a gun everywhere to feel safe. If I don’t feel the need how tf do these men that think they’re so big and tough.

Despite years of "economic anxiety" discourse, the core drivers of Trump support have always been bigotry and misinformation. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Starting February 1, I'm not making any self employment tax payments to the unconstitutional federal government. I'm sure they'll really miss my $50 when they try to hire more ICE agents.

If this person who burned a synagogue had cited the Quran in defending their antisemitic attack, we'd be reading dozens of news stories about Islamic extremism. Since he cited the Book of Revelation, the media really needs to connect this to extremist forms of white Christianity.

42% for abolish ICE without an iota of mainstream elected Democratic buy in, this could be over 60% if they tried even a little.

🕯️My cousin Brian passed away last night. After a courageous 3 wk stint with ICE. He slipped on a fellow agent’s frozen peepee puddle & somersaulted many times in the air, yelling “yabbada yabbada yabbada” & tragically aspirating (a different) agent’s pee he’d been gargling. He hated women🇺🇸💔

Can some energy nerds please let @governor.ca.gov Newsom know that ending a statement about oil bragging about climate leadership in the electricity sector is either extremely disingenuous or embarrassingly ignorant? www.gov.ca.gov/2026/01/06/g...

For the past year we've been seeing people with more money than god give Trump golden toilet seats for his beautiful ass and this past week we've seen regular Minneapolis residents with everything to lose stand up bravely.

I don't think this is worth driving a car to the grocery store for.

Immigrants rule.

Then head over to Marin County, which builds practically no new housing whatsoever -- and now faces a $17 billion bill to save homes and businesses from sea level rise. That's over $170,000 per home. www.sfchronicle.com/climate/arti...
