Native Americans protested in Minneapolis today after the ICE abducted four Oglala Sioux Tribal Members. Three of them are still missing. (1/17|26)

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

McBride: Look, people are clutching their pearls at this guy yelling something at the president. They are more offended by a worker standing up to the president and calling him out for his hypocrisy than they are by the president trying to cover up for a human trafficking ring

This is completely fucking unacceptable. Shut this terrorist government down until it stops brutalizing its own citizens.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Farewell to the great Bob Weir, a founding member of the Grateful Dead who kept the long, strange trip rolling long after the death of Jerry Garcia. variety.com/2026/music/n...

She wasn’t killed because he feared her. It was because she did not fear him.

I'll just leave this here...

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

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.

6 years ago, our Nusayba rang the bell and was officially cancer free. She's now a 9 year old diva. A stage 4 cancer survivor with a full liver transplant thanks to once anonymous donor Shawn Zahir who donated a piece of his liver to save the life of a girl he never met. God is great.

The whole lot of them spent Jan. 6th lying about what happened 5 years ago. Why should anyone expect them to start telling the truth on January 7th?

Murphy: "As their agenda becomes more unpopular, they then become more dependent on trying to rig out democracy and rig the next election, bc nobody is gonna vote these guys back in ... You gotta connect the dots here. What they are trying to do is rationalize violence."

Masked government agents are killing people in the streets, abducting people from their homes in the middle of the night, and arresting those who speak out. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

Trump just claimed this was an operation not seen since World War II. For fucks sake.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Alright. Everyone can stop now. We have a winner.

Michelle Obama came to the Jimmy Kimmel show to slay and also to remind us of what a FLOTUS should be tomandlorenzo.com/2025/12/mich...

For better or worse, public figures are judged when they die — their character, contributions, beliefs. It's undeniable that millions have mourned Rob Reiner's tragic death, celebrating his talent and contributions. I suspect when a certain public figure kicks the bucket, sentiments wont be the same

Trump’s post that Rob Reiner had a stabbing death coming to him because he opposed Trump will be forgotten in a day or two. Like everything else. If we were a rational society, these appalling words and actions would be cumulative and we’d get rid of the bastard. Instead everything is a one-off.

If anyone else fell asleep on the job, let alone on camera, they'd be fired.

wtf is a FIFA peace prize? that's like being an NFL laureate in physics

Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

He can't stay awake. Or walk. Or speak. I'm so sick of the GOP denial. The embarrassing flattery parades. The complicit press standing silent while he drones on incomprehensibly or insults colleagues who dare to question his lies. Or laughing obligatorily at his non-jokes. I'm just so tired of it.

SOON …

During this season of giving, let’s do what we can to give back to the communities that have given us so much. From our family to yours, have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

What a topsy-turvy time we live in.

Dear Americans, read this, then read it again, and then vote for progressive democrats who will bring our country into the 21st century with all of the other advanced nations of earth.

Boston's Mayor Wu playing with Yo-Yo Ma at Symphony Hall

To recap: Trump said Zohran isn’t a jihadist and is going to do a good job, even as Zohran still maintained Trump is a fascist.

Unprincipled and weak. The murder of journalists is perhaps the single most direct violation of the right to freedom of speech. (1/2)

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
