I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

I'm just curious how many other posts were made within 10 minutes of either side of "that one" and how they explain those.

Don Lemon is not the only reporter who was arrested by federal agents overnight — local independent journalist Georgia Fort just went live on FB to say federal agents were also at her door to take her into custody over her protest coverage in Minneapolis.

Take his personal army away from him while you can, you stupid, stupid assholes. You’re like an armadillo playing dead in the middle of the road so the semi won’t hurt you

I continue to think that "opposition leader" is the winning model for a 2028 presidential candidate. Whoever joins with these protests in the street and meaningfully builds on them will have huge credibility.

I think we should stage a HUGE, national boycott of the Super Bowl. I know it's unlikely. But those advertisers pay HUGE sums of money to get eyes on their product. If this whole thing can make those companies pay attention, we might have something.

@50501movement.bsky.social You know what would get noticed quick - a HUGE, national boycott of the Super Bowl. I know it's unlikely. But those advertisers pay HUGE sums of money to get eyes in their product. If this whole thing can make those companies pay attention, we might have something.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

Quiet, piggy

The fact that Trump is on an international tear and attacking citizens in American cities and his base loves it proves this was never about improving the lives of his supporters. It’s about living out their hate, prejudice, and anger.

A Minneapolis pastor saw ICE agents circling a young Hispanic woman and insisted they take him instead of harassing her. An agent got in his face, pointed a gun at him, and said, “Are you afraid now?" He then said to him, "Well, you’re white; you won’t be any fun anyway."

🎯

"Remain calm" and "avoid the area" is inadequate and counterproductive messaging. "Hand over the shooter or we flood the center of Minneapolis" is more appropriate.

In an interview, Miller cited the "Monroe doctrine" as he stated that he essentially believes the US should be able to invade & control sovereign nations "to secure our interests in our hemisphere". This is fascist expanionist ideology being masked as "national security". #Pinks

Five years ago.

REMINDER: War Crimes committed on soil of a signature nation to the International Criminal court expose those committing crimes to the jurisdiction of the ICC--even if their own country is not a member. Venezuela is a member of the ICC. Thus, Trump can and MUST be prosecuted at The Hague

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

Maduro is bad, and we still shouldn’t have kidnapped him in an illegal military raid.

So we’re just announcing foreign strikes and kidnappings of foreign leaders on social media now? No Congress. No explanation. This is madness.

Start calling: House Armed Services Committee: (202) 225-4151 Senate Armed Services Committee: (202) 224-3871 White House Comment Line: (202) 456-1111 This line is specifically for citizens to voice opinions or concerns to the President.

You almost have to feel bad for an ugly old man with no family or friends to keep him company on Christmas Day that he makes 200 crazy posts ranting about everything under the sun. Almost.

When your Christmas greeting is actually a confession…

LOL at Cory Booker putting the 60 Minutes story up on his YouTube channel. Paramount won't dare take it down youtu.be/jiehEMlNiCI?...

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house. This is where America is now

Exactly.

I'm old enough to remember when the networks refused to carry an incredibly important speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia by President Biden about creeping fascism in the U.S. because it was "too political". Sure, but they'll broadcast every minute of Trump's propaganda bullshit. 🙄

What oil, what land, what assets did Venezuela steal from the US? And when? A social media post from an alternative reality.

WHO AMONG US hasn't sat down 11 times with a journalist and a tape recorder only to be shocked that they'd publish stuff we talked about?

Rob Reiner was a true patriot, a champion of democracy who understood the risks we face and strove to ensure that future generations of Americans would live in a free country. May his memory be a blessing.

Rob Reiner’s voice was progressive, but most of all human. What a terrible tragedy. What a terrible loss.

Rob Reiner was an acclaimed actor & director but he was also a vocal critic of Trump He warned the American public that they only had a year to save their democracy That year is almost up Honour his legacy by fighting fascism. Fight for democracy. Fight for what’s right. Fight against tyranny.

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.

I’ve seen two kids post that the Brown University shooting is the second school shooting they’ve survived. This should enrage and radicalize everyone. Kids shouldn’t have to survive one shooting, let alone two. No more thoughts and prayers. It’s time to address the guns.

Zoe Weissman survived the Parkland shooting. Now she’s at Brown, and it happened again. “Honestly, I'm really angry that this is happening to me all over again, and I'm just in shock.” We’re failing our kids. A gun-sick nation. 🇺🇸 www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

In the last week, Donald Trump has called for the murder of Congressional Democrats and threatened to unilaterally declare an invasion of Venezuela. If Congressional Republicans followed the Constitution, both of these would be removable offenses. But, they’re loyal to Trump, not the constitution.

If you are a White House pool reporter and you don’t stick up for your fellow colleagues after Trump calls them “Piggy” or “Stupid” you are tacitly condoning his behavior and just as culpable at Trump. Shame on you. Walk out. Speak up. Don’t give him an audience. Courage is contagious.

Their immigration policy was never about crime, it was always about their view of the appropriate ethnic composition of the nation.

Amen.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL!! I REPEAT: THIS IS NOT A DRILL!! New Common Sense, just when we needed it most!

Ok, new Common Sense just released. It's timely and pithy and hopefully you think it worth your time (and mine). We called it: "Who's the Boss?" dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3...

How *dare* you take this as a sign that Trump and Musk and Thiel are planning to steal state and national elections using AI tech

If someone really wanted to tick off the “wokeness haters” they’d underwrite the Genderpalooza Film Festival, featuring all day back to back screenings of HIM, HER, THEM, THEY, US and IT

This might be the single coolest photo I've ever seen. By photographer Andrew McCarthy (ajamesmccarthy on IG), it shows a skydiver crossing in front of the sun.

I just detest every single thing about this cretin.

If your church is turning away people who show up to your doors in good faith, you don't have a church. You have a very expensive book club with scarcely any wine.
