You don't get that you are doing more harm than good with a half-assed attempt at a national shutdown. You cannot coordinate one in just a week. Unions need time to rally support amongst the employers. Not enough people are outraged enough yet to risk losing jobs & health insurance.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

And now your moment of zen.

Do we need to say it louder? Here. Louder. " Federal courts in Alabama are using a law last applied during the U.S. internment [incarceration] of people of Japanese descent during World War II to charge immigrants who don’t register themselves..." www.al.com/news/2026/01...

Angel baby Lotus had her first puppy class and may have been the kid who keeps interrupting the teacher.

stay safe Austin.

My anger at having to stand outside my kid’s school for two hours to ensure none of their classmates, parents, or teachers get kidnapped by my own government is only slightly tempered by the amazing outpouring of support from other parents and especially neighbors who stand against this bullshit.

And brown. Brown! Do they even have children? Are they capable of emotion? Scholars remain divided 40 possibly human lives snuffed out, forgotten before they could even be renembered

Charlie Kirk was a husband and a father. We heard it over and over again Only certain types of people get to be husbands and fathers. Some people are simply civilians. Faceless, nameless and without consequence. Civilians die. It's what they do

#GVerse Massive march in NYC against #Shit4Brain's war on Venezuela

If we can capture another country's president, can another country come and capture ours? Asking for a friend.

Happening now: several hundred people are pouring into Chicago's downtown Federal Plaza. It's 25 degrees outside. Organizers are leading the crowd in a chant of, "no boots on the ground, no bombs in the air!" Two protesters hold a large banner reading, "no war for Venezuela oil."

Happening now: protest at Market & Powell in SF.

Lmao. Of course he does. Rogue fascist states flock together.

“We can all be the voice of the people. I know what’s ahead but I won’t lose hope. Anything can happen so anything can happen. And as we march forward, No one let go of anyone’s hands.” Jumaane Williams January 1, 2026

Fox News at the gym throughout my entire stationary bike ride focused on the shooting in Australia and “condemning” antisemitism. How loud and long can I possibly scream “you don’t give a s*** about antisemitism!!!!”

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat. The claim collapsed because it’s a cover. Check my latest… open.substack.com/pub/cwebbstu...

Relics of not that long ago, and proof that when you think you have the latest technology, you won’t for long. A Korg tuner - a single function device; and a Tascam recorder. Both entirely displaced by the smartphone and its apps. Remember when everything you owned did just one thing?

F***ing racist asshole. These are human beings, whether you are going to welcome them here or not.

Today is World AIDS Day, a day that reminds me of the decades-long fight for dignity, science, and compassion. We’ve come so far because activists, researchers, and communities refused to be ignored.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

The House passed a resolution condemning socialism. Okay. When are they going to pass a resolution condemning fascism?

The only thing less appropriate for cities than single-occupancy vehicles is zero occupancy vehicles.

What if 7 million Americans decided, openly and together, to stop paying federal taxes? Not to dodge responsibility, but to protest a government sliding into authoritarianism. #SixFamilySpeaks #TaxResistance

And what are we funding today? Murders on the high seas illegal killings carried out in our name, without congressional approval. Taxpayer dollars underwriting bloodshed. #AccountabilityNow

Giant copy of the Constitution being carried down Pennsylvania Avenue.

You're not gonna believe this but @cbsnews.com appears to not have a story about some of the largest mass protests in American history anywhere on its main page.

MSNBC's Vaughn Hillyard noting that TV can't fully capture the scale of the "No Kings" protests: "Forgive us, we only have so many boxes we can fix on the television screen, we know these are happening ALL over the place..."

Ugh love🖤

Deeply disappointed to hear that the Israeli Navy illegally stopped the Global Sumud Flotilla 75 miles off the coast of Gaza. This was a non-violent mission to break the IDF’s horrifying siege and deliver food and medicine to those who need it most.

“Violence is never OK. But…”? You have no idea how complicated this is for Jewish people—many of whom hate the Israeli government and agree that genocide is occurring. Try some empathy. You don’t need to make a point while innocent people have been murdered on the holiest day of their year.

We are deeply concerned by reports of a violent attack at a synagogue in Manchester today. We unequivocally condemn this act of violence.
