this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin — the third-richest man on the planet — is reportedly spending $57M to defeat California's proposed billionaire's tax. So he and his fellow oligarchs can't afford a wealth tax, but they'll spend a fortune buying elections? See the problem...

A woman named Lonna Drewes at a news conference just now accused Eric Swalwell of drugging her drink and sexually assaulting her. Here's part of her statement.

Brian Laline, the Editor of the @silive.com , gave a warning to Americans: it’s time to wake up. It hasn’t even been a week since Trump called for completely wiping out an entire civilization. And it seems as if many people moved on. #Iran #Politics #Trump #NY11

Please don't forget this story. They deliberately dropped off Nurul Amin Shah, a blind refugee, in freezing weather miles away from home. Less than a week later, he was dead. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

His own inherited wealth ✅ Taxpayer dollars for what sure looks like a campaign ad ✅ NYS Democratic Party sending a mailer for him ✅ So many sketchy sources of money @danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co is already using in his campaign. (1/2)

Steve Bannon: “We can use this, ICE helping at airports, as a test run, a test case, to really perfect ICE’s involvement in the 2026 midterms. Mike Davis: “I think we should have ICE agents at the polling places” Saying the quiet part out loud.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

ICYMI — @crockett.house.gov 🔥 to Bondi: “You’ll be remembered as one of the worst Attorney Generals in history.”

UTAH auto body shop owner: “You guys broke the fucking window to get in here! Where is your warrant??” Trump’s ICE goons: “Yes we did… We don’t need one.” 🤔 Rights are gone under this regime. (From Somali Snaps: www.instagram.com/reel/DUKpzuS...)

Omar: I instinctively tried to, like, punch him…, I was raised with three brothers who were older than me. You learn that maybe taking the first punch when somebody is bigger than you yields you better results.

Ilhan Omar: “He was saved by security”

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

“You raise your voice, I erase your voice.” 🤔 Trump’s America. 🇺🇸

REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking. Warning: video is hard to watch

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

Okay. Time to call your democratic senators and tell them that Bovino’s demotion and humiliation WILL NOT SUFFICE to fund DHS.

I will give Suozzi more credit than he gives himself. He knew what the vote was. He just figured the way to "win" was to support the funding because that's more "centrist" and buck the Democratic majority. But morally, he knew what this was about. He ended up wrong morally AND politically.

Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator. The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him — and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him. It's time for a massive general strike across the country.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

“Heartbroken but also very angry… sickening lies by the administration… reprehensible and disgusting… Alex is clearly not holding a gun… please get the truth out about our son, he was a good man…”

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

What's the plan, Chuck? I run a fake news website. You're the Senate Minority Leader. What's the plan?

NEW VIDEO: this appears to be the footage from the woman in the pink coat.

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice." Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

I just thought everyone should see this

“Neighbors found the 6 year old girl walking down the street alone crying out for her father”

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

What happened to the Proud Boys?

BREAKING: Medical examiner says death of ICE detainee was a HOMICIDE - a witness says he was choked to death by GUARDS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents. Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center. Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

WATCH — @nikkiglaser.bsky.social : “The Golden Globe for best editing goes to… the Justice Department! And the award for MOST editing goes to CBS News. Yes, CBS News: America’s newest place to See B.S. News.’”

Dave Mathews took time on his birthday today to speak out on ICE and the murder of Renee Nicole Good 🔥….HBD Dave! "Renee Nicole Good, murdered in the streets. He shot her three times in the head. Murdered in cold blood. These people are trying to tell us not to believe what we see. F*ck ICE"

GERMAN PRESIDENT STEINMEIER: “.. the United States has broken with the values that it helped to establish .. “.. we have now moved beyond the stage where we can lament the lack of respect for international law or the erosion of the international order; we are far beyond that, I believe.”

Freaking love this city and all the people in it so much….a bunch of people went and turned the 4 train into the Polar Express giving out toys to kids along the way from the Bronx to Brooklyn….shoutout to the @newyorkers.live account on IG for doing this 🙏 www.instagram.com/reel/DSnsvWS...

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

"A second agent then joins them and appears to help restrain him, who can be heard repeating 'I’m a citizen' and screaming. Several people then come into the hallway from outside and begin filming the interaction and whistling before the agents pull him outside..." www.cnn.com/2025/12/13/u...

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

“The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.” - Garry Kasparov

NYC: “I’m born here! Kings County Hospital! Suck my d*ck!” Trump’s ICE goons grabbing brown and black people. Bounty hunters. Racial profiling is all they do.

Well done! A Massachusetts church displayed an “ICE was here” sign in its Nativity scene.

Holiday carolers are protesting Home Depot’s association with ICE 🎶 We don't want no more deportations 🎶

I'm thankful for my ICE whistle.

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 🥬 🫘 🥔 🍅
