There's no reason not to vocally and unequivocally call for and fight for good things regardless of the likelihood of success. Show you have a goal that people want so the next time an election comes up people can feel motivated that better things are possible.

TODAY: Join the emergency organizing call with Sen. @kaine.senate.gov, Rep. @gregcasar.bsky.social, and Rep. @ilhanmn.bsky.social to talk about how we can stop Trump’s lawless violence in Venezuela and hold the regime accountable: www.mobilize.us/healthcareno...

From @icirr.bsky.social: Rapid response teams in our network confirm 50+ additional ICE agents arrived in Chicagoland Jan 6. We expect increased ICE presence in Chicago & suburbs in coming days. If you see possible ICE activity or know someone who's detained, call ICIRR's FSN Hotline: 855-435-7693

The Wrong Question About Venezuela steadystate1.substack.com/p/the-wrong-... "...[It's not what such an occupation would do to Venezuela. It is what it will do...to our military, our institutions, our constitutional order, and our understanding of who we are when we wield power beyond our borders."

In a nutshell.

It’s official: Mary Sheffield is the Mayor of Detroit! The first woman mayor in the city’s 324-year history, Mayor Sheffield will move Detroit forward.

What the KENNEDY Center used to be… Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

After the private equity firm Alden Capital purchased the Chicago Tribune some years ago, many of its best people left or were pushed out, diminishing the paper and its importance. But those who remained do great work, like Mr Pratt, here. The first draft of a terrible history.

Well it's Sunday. And you know what happens on Sunday? Show-and-tell happens on Sunday! So show us something you made or found, somewhere you've been, something you're proud of, family, pets... anything neat, really! Go on! Show us!

Everybody is looking forward to the next No Kings Day in the spring. The official date will be announced once we land this with the full No Kings coalition, but trust us that it’s coming. And we can’t wait, either. ❌👑

I talked to @michellegoldberg.bsky.social about how this was the year when elites folded to fascism and regular people said "fuck no" www.nytimes.com/2025/12/26/o...

In courts of law, this is known as consciousness of guilt.

watched part of a pod save interview with rahm emanuel and that guy is genuinely delusional if he thinks he is going to go anywhere in a democratic presidential primary

Had Bari Weiss just ran the story, it would have been seen by a couple million people tops. The bootleg has now gone viral, and may end up being the most-watched 60 Minutes segment ever. It might be time to rename the Streisand Effect.

If you voted for Trump in 2024 and finally realize that he lied to get your vote and things aren't going well, it's okay to change your mind. Write your representative in Congress and tell them how you want them to vote. Tell them how things are going. Tell them to hold Trump accountable.

🎤 This Wednesday evening 12/17, hear from Democratic candidates running for Senate in Illinois. Robin Kelly, Raja Krishnamoorthi, & Juliana Stratton have all committed to participate, along with other candidates. This virtual forum is hosted by @nwsofa-indivisible.bsky.social & partners. Details:

This week, the Senate will vote on Democrats' clean, three-year extension of the ACA tax credits. Republicans have a choice: stop health insurance premiums from skyrocketing or abandon their constituents.

Eileen Higgins blows it out in Miami, wins 59%-40%!!!! In the last 2 years Dems have flipped Florida’s two largest cities, Jacksonville and Miami. Great work everyone! www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/eileen-hig...

This is the proper headline

the true believers around nixon genuinely saw him as some kind of embodiment of the people and thought that congressional attempts to corral his authority were illegitimate on that basis. straight line from them to the executive power fetishists on the supreme court.

Attacking the press, cataloging reporters, ranking “offenders” — this is not normal. It's how governments try to control the truth.

Secretary Noem – under your leadership, DHS has violated the rights of the people, undermined due process, and caused irreversible harm to Americans. Before your supreme leader fires you, you can resign today.

Congratulations to Justin Crosby (D) on his election victory in Mississippi CD22 — he flipped the newly redrawn seat by defeating the incumbent with approximately 53 % of the vote. This win is part of a broader shift after court-ordered map revisions aimed at increasing majority-Black districts.

Looks like we've identified the conflict that led Senator Cruz to cancel this afternoon's Subcommittee hearing on "Impeachment: Holding Rogue Judges Accountable." www.judiciary.senate.gov/committee-ac...

What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.

When masked federal agents rappelled into Chicago, residents stood together and successfully pushed back against federal forces’ efforts to create chaos. Protect Democracy’s Conor Gaffney and Katie Schwartzmann outline the Chicago “blueprint” via @veritenews.org veritenews.org/2025/12/02/c...

Loser Mike Johnson is pissed that we’re gaining ground in forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits. So let’s get even louder:

This is murder. Hegseth thinks he will get away with it because the people around him are more committed to aiding and abetting his crimes than upholding the rule of law. I wouldn't take that bet if I were him, or the people around him. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

You absolutely have the constitutional right to record ICE, Border Patrol, or any law enforcement officer in public, and with everything happening in Charlotte right now, people need to understand that clearly.

Let’s talk about sedition and treason, because the most powerful yet inadequate man in the world is having a tantrum about it, and his soulless, spineless sycophants are boosting his message. /1

This is nuts. Yesterday in the Comey hearing, prosecutors *repeatedly* confirmed that the full grand jury never saw or voted on the two-count indictment. Now they’re claiming the grand jury *did* vote on it.
