Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social burns a confederate flag in the rotunda after the House passed 9-0 maps stripping Memphis of representation… #Memphis #JimCrow @MarshaBlackburn @GovBillLee

We live in a time dominated by deeply unserious people making deeply unserious arguments in support of tragically serious results that serious people would have both avoided and known to avoid.

This is the trust trap, and we have seen it play out again and again in institutions like media, higher ed and govt. The right feeds distrust, use that distrust as a justification to take control, and then undermine the core competencies that everyone else actually values, further eroding trust.

“Tens of thousands of Arab Americans in Dearborn and beyond flocked to Trump in the 2024 presidential election due to his opponent, Kamala Harris’s support for Israel’s war on Gaza.” Sorry, no, it’s because she was a woman. Trump was more pro-Israel than Harris. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

In normal times, this would be a completely impeachable, possibly criminal offense.

Parents who refuse to vaccinate healthy, non-immunocompromised children, should be stripped of their legal rights over their children and put in prison if their child dies or the child’s life is destroyed by a preventable virus. www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...

I went looking for this file myself on the DOJ files record. It is nowhere to be found now. Not only is Ron DeSantis accused of rape, so are Clarence Thomas and Steve Bannon.

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

FAFO alert: when the crux of your business depends on people who are the main target of this regime, maybe don’t give them your vote. You could have swallowed your male pride, voted for a woman, and continued successfully building houses.

if ur still wondering who to root for… ponder this 🫢🤔

Everyone who voted for Trump bears responsibility for destroying this man’s life. Elections have consequences. If you aren’t willing to seriously consider those consequences during the campaign season, then you are not responsible enough to vote. abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...

Two things can be true: we’re a competitive authoritarian state with all sorts of efforts to put a thumb on the scale of who has power AND we have sufficiently free and sufficiently fair elections that every month we see the party in power lose.

We are now at the arresting journalists part of fascism. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/u...

“Their untroubled and automatic dishonesty, amid so much shared evidence, gives rise to a horrible question: If this is what they do when we can see, what’s going on in the places—planes and cars, detention centers—where we can’t?”

Correct: fascism has always existed in this country, persecuting non-white people.

“Freedom is not free. We have to work at it. Nurture it. Protect it. Even sacrifice for it.”

I have been calling for this since the funding freezes.

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

Moral clarity

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Good question.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

Translation: Kids are being kept home because armed terrorists are roaming the city and have murdered a woman. Let that sink in.

Come the fuck on. Five hours later and the headline is still about a disputed shooting. Just a basic lack of courage to acknowledge the obvious.

I wish this weren't true, but we now have take his threats about Greenland more seriously, and start to talk about the world-changing mistake if he chose to go to war with Europe - which would essentially guarantee the rest of this century is China's.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

When I used to be on Facebook, starting in 2016, I said regularly “Trump is Hitler before Hitler became Hitler.” Trump’s invasion of Europe will start with Greenland. As with Hitler, Europe will fail to respond. As Hitler did, Trump will see such weakness as a reason to keep invading.

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up. But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.
