Hey US Kindle users! The End of Everything: (Astrophysically Speaking) by @astrokatie.com is on sale for $1.99. It's a brilliant book and you now have no excuse for not buying it.

His death is caused by one man and his Republican collaborators. Republicans in Congress could stop this today. Call your Senators today www.5calls.org #DefundICE

Carney's speech was the height of the conference and something that should have been said long ago. Thanks, Canada.

Smith: Again, and I think all of us, if we're reasonable, know that there's going to be more crimes committed by these people in the future. I do not understand why you would mass pardon people who assaulted police officers. I don't get it. I never will.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Right now Timothy Busfield is probably thinking, "If I start a world war, I can get out of this."

Turns out the real threat isn’t immigrants - it’s blue zip codes.

Men who defend Jonathan Ross for murdering Renee Good are not safe to be around. End those relationships.

This is the dumbest shit he’s done yet, and that’s saying something.

Machado gave Trump her Nobel Peace Prize, thinking it could be worse: he could have asked for her daughter.

Agreed. Please call your senators and tell them so.

Imagine hearing a knock and immediately worrying about your family being taken. You can hear the fear in his voice. Nobody should have to feel this way in their own home. This is America right now.

Do it also for Greenland please. We Europeans are truly shocked by your president's actions, and we're willing to die to defend our soil and sovereignty. Please, check your president's abhorrent actions in the house and Senate before it's too late.

We have to flip the Senate.

Dr. @timothysnyder.bsky.social has written many powerful works, but this one stopped me dead in my tracks when I first read it. Please take the time, and share widely.

Here's an 8-min video on (initially-secret) Customs & Border Patrol report, which found: in many vehicle shooting cases, agents intentionally put themselves in exit path of vehicle, thereby creating justification for the use of deadly force. youtu.be/izonttr5Tp4?...

This is precisely how you should respond to a bullshit investigation. “This new threat is not about my testimony last June, or the renovation of the Federal Reserve Buildings… this is a consequence of not following the preference of the President”

They told us what they were planning in July 2024. "Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts said that the country is in the midst of a 'second American Revolution' that will be bloodless 'if the left allows it to be.'" www.politico.com/news/2024/07...

Me recommending @hcrichardson.bsky.social to a colleague: "She's a modern-day Indiana Jones. Part professor, part fighter of fascism. Only in this version, the MacGuffin is democracy." And then I had to explain what a MacGuffin is.

Somewhere there's an alternate universe where Kamala Harris is President, @muellershewrote.com and @dgcomedy.bsky.social host a podcast called "The Daily Toe Beans" and their special guest is always Jackson Galaxy. <sigh>

The White House wastes no time gaslighting the American people anntelnaes.substack.com/p/ice-shoots...

I know it's only January, but I'm pretty certain King Sorrow will be my favorite book of 2026. Absolutely fantastic! Thank you @joe-hill.bsky.social !

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

Pretty sure it’s illegal to fuck with people’s mail and if you’re law enforcement you have to have a warrant to touch it.

I need a historian's opinion. @hcrichardson.bsky.social Is it unfair to blame Mitch McConnell for the state of the country? First he blocked Obama's SCOTUS pick 11 months before election day then 4 years later rammed through Trump's pick 2 weeks before election day. I cannot forgive him for that.

Can we PLEASE have one day without a headline that includes the words "Trump" and "Late Night Rant"?

Thank you @muellershewrote.com ! www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

Clean version. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG32....

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Know what I'm going to do when the clock strikes midnight on January 1, 2026? Visit @marklewisohn.bsky.social website to see if the blurb under Volume 2 of the brilliant Beatles "All These Years" series changes to, "It WILL be out this year." That'll be the best gift ever!

Today is the anniversary of the Sandy Hook shooting. There are no words to express the grief and anger that our young people continue to be slaughtered in school. And for what? More guns? This is a policy failure — and a moral one. Enough. My heart is with Providence today.

Justice Sotomayor: "You mean to suggest that the fact that one major donor to the current president, the most major donor to the president, got a very lucrative job immediately upon election from the new administration, does not give the appearance of quid pro quo?"

Wow! The Supreme Court basically just said, if you want to do racial gerrymandering, have at it. Let’s be clear, what Texas did was racial gerrymandering, plain and simple. SCOTUS just opened the floodgates.

Good front-paging.

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.

40th anniversary of Calvin & Hobbes? Still think about this May 2020 piece from @chuckwendig.bsky.social (with art use approved by Bill Watterson, which is always nice). www.polygon.com/comics/2020/...

Saw Vonnegut onstage in '83 and he did his "graphic representation of plots" thing then. The Kafka Curve is quite something.

New from me: The midterm elections are one year out, and it's on us to ensure it's free and fair. Here are four things you can do right now. www.altrightdelete.news/p/one-year-out

I’m just going to say it… It’s pretty damn validating to hear Barack Obama say the same things we’ve been shouting for months, and longer.

Who could have predicted this would happen? <bangs head against all repeatedly.>

Pappas: It’s a big tell that Republicans are trying to gerrymander their way into a permanent majority, because they understand how historically unpopular their ideas are. Whether it’s closing rural hospitals, kicking people off their health insurance, or taking food away from hungry families

Weird how this always reminds me of Trump and the GOP. youtu.be/QxTMbIxEj-E?...

Sound familiar???

Quick reminder that we could have had two AMAZING Presidents — @hillaryclinton.bsky.social and @kamalaharris.com — but we totally screwed ourselves by voting for the fascist toddler clown. The American people should hang their heads in shame.

ice: all crime, all the time

Greta Thunberg speaks to the press after being released from illegal detainment in Israel: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story.”
