Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff. There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

Siembra NC had preparing us for months for the events of this week. When the rumors turned out to be true, they mobilized 1000’s of volunteers from across the state, seemingly instantly. Take a training, volunteer and donate if you can so we can all keep protecting our neighbors.

Larry Summers cozied up to the rich and powerful — including a convicted sex offender. He cannot be trusted in positions of influence.

niche opinion but i think a judge who writes something like this — frankly a judge who even writes "democrat party" — should be instantly removed and disbarred

I took this photo on Monday night and told one of my co-booksellers that I'd cry if they won the National Book Award! Read these books!

the only real way to think about these raids is terrorist attacks

We need free therapy paid for by the US govt for all of this BS. I can’t have all my therapy sessions taken up by these evil assclowns

Disrespect, racism and misogyny are running rampant in America because of this parasite of a president‼️

When people analyze Nazi Germany & the holocaust, it’s difficult to comprehend how so many people could essentially look the other way. This is actually just normal human behavior. There’s nothing special about it. The majority of people are unable to accept reality. It’s too painful. Look at Gaza.

this is truly one of my favorite episodes of the year, where Sarah and I get a chance to talk about our favorite books published in 2025. ❤️
