One woman wrote history. The other copied the homework and still failed the class.

Gabbard said in a letter to Congress that Trump personally asked her to be on site as federal agents executed the search warrant on an elections office in Fulton County, Georgia. The incident has raised serious questions about election security and federal authority. https://to.pbs.org/4c9BckN

I can't believe we're gonna get to buy our Halloween costumes at the damn Kennedy Center.

We already live in a surveillance state. ICE lets its agents wear masks so they can’t be identified; meanwhile, they scan our faces. They know who we are, where we’ve been, and who we’re connected to. They’re openly building a 24/7 social media surveillance operation. 1/2

So it wasn’t the pee tapes, it was Epstein, and we’ve known about it since 2015. I want the name of every fucking person in our government, past or presently employed, that knew about trump-epstein. And, going forward, I will refer to this depravity as trump-Epstein. Make it trump’s Scarlet E.

ICYMI: The US is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939 — six years into the Third Reich, and just before the start of World War II.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home. But did you look at the judge's order? It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept." Link to pdf: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

2013 Post-conviction. After the plea deal. Everyone knew who Epstein was by then. At some point, “I didn’t know” stops being believable.

There’s one guy in the Epstein files who isn’t talked about enough… Alex Acosta was the U.S. Attorney who gave Epstein that sweetheart deal. It allowed Epstein to avoid federal prosecution for sex trafficking and abuse of minors. He served only 13 months in county jail with work release. 1/2

We’re glad to have a mayor who recognizes the need to close #Rikers, and we look forward to a budget that reflects that. Listen to Brian Meegan @imabmee.bsky.social share how they would reallocate the billions... #CloseRikers #CareNotCriminalization #NYCBudget

"We need a new understanding of community safety – one that addresses the root causes of crime and promotes humane, rehabilitative treatment for all New Yorkers." - Rev. Dr. Serene Jones & Rev. Fred Davie, Union Theological Seminary www.amny.com/oped/nyc-com... #CloseRikers

I am disgusted and outraged by the attack on Rep. Omar tonight while she was doing her job & meeting with constituents. Let’s be clear: nonstop hate and dangerous rhetoric from Trump & his allies has fueled this type of violence. I stand with Rep. Omar. I stand with Minnesota. This must stop.

It boils down to this: They want the founding without the violence that made it possible.

TODAY on #MSNOW: 10am-2pm/EST 7am-11am/PST-Jack Smith Finally Testifies to Congress about when our Presidementia incited an insurrection at the Capitol to steal a free & fair election & when he stole Top-Secret Gov't Documents & stored them in his bathroom. Y'know... many, many, MANY crimes ago.

Before I became mayor, I had the privilege of serving in the New York State Assembly. And on Tuesday, Feb. 3, Astoria & Long Island City can elect @DianaforQueens to continue our work. I'm so proud to endorse Diana, a Queens mom, an immigrant organizer & a democratic socialist.

Dear Mr. Smith, I’m going to ask you a bunch of nonsensical questions, but you are not allowed to answer any of them because I’m going to keep answering them myself with lies. Not so sincerely, Crazy lady Representative

From Black vampires gobbling up Oscar nominations to gay pro hockey players dominating the culture, diverse stories broke through in an environment that’s increasingly hostile to them. www.wired.com/story/sorry-...

Why are we acting surprised?
Dozens of allegations. 34 convictions. No respect for the Constitution.
And we’re supposed to believe January 6th was a bridge too far??

Renee Good was shot 3 times by ICE The first two shots were non lethal. One to her left forearm & another to right breast The final shot entered the left side of her head & exited the right side He didn’t have to keep shooting. He was out of the vehicle’s path before the kill shot That’s murder

This comes just after the president publicly demanded that ICE should start showing the public how terrible the people are who they're grabbing and arresting. In this case, his name is Liam. He's five years old. www.kare11.com/article/news...

You would think!! But we have republicans wallowing, literally just rolling around in trumps shit and apparently loving being part of the destruction of the world as Trump sees it.

Truly pathetic how cowardly the Republican Party has become. I’m not sure what they’re fighting for.

Venezuela is a DIVERSION Jerome Powell is a DIVERSION Greenland is a DIVERSION Board of Peace is a DIVERSION Minnesota is a DIVERSION Renee NICOLE Good is a CASUALTY of his DIVERSIONS ... FROM RELEASING THE FUKKKIN EPSTEIN FILES!!

Dr. King believed our democracy would only make sense when every child was fed, every mind was educated, and every community had dignity and freedom. That vision is still unfolding. So, on this MLK Day, let us recommit to the work of building the world he dared to imagine.

The next government shutdown could hit at the end of this month, and if the budget bill includes more funding for ICE — shut it down! ICE is a horror show of abuse, violence, and human rights violations. Every Dem in Congress should be talking about it like @repespaillat.bsky.social 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽

Since Congress passed a law requiring Trump to release the Epstein Files, Trump has: - Tried to start a war with NATO over Greenland - Threatened to use the military to suppress free speech in Minnesota - Illegally withheld 99% of the files and heavily redacted the ones that were released

I have a legit question. WTF is the purpose of Congress coming back if they’re not doing anything? Like are we just going to pretend as if this man is not destroying the whole damn planet and hope that it stops?? I need answers!!

Let’s not lose sight. Release the rest of the Epstein files. NOW!

Russia offers to help the U.S. Military sink NATO ships If this doesn’t convince Repubs something is terribly wrong, nothing will

Trump said he regrets not seizing voting machines after the 2020 election. Anyone claiming authoritarians don’t want elections is missing the point. They want elections. They just don’t want fair elections. This was an admission that Trump will cheat if he gets the chance.

🗽Robert Reich Trump is putting America on a war footing because war is good for him as it is for all dictators. War confers emergency powers. It justifies ignoring the niceties of elections. It allows dictators to imprison and intimidate opponents. robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-for...

MICHIGAN — SHERIFF SWANSON (a candidate for governor): “A tragic but predictable event. I saw the same video you saw. When you have masked federal agents with no markings on the vehicle… This is what breaks down the trust of law enforcement across the board.”

That awkward moment when your past foreign policy faceplants in real time.

This agency is out of control if leadership is no longer checking violations of constitutional rights. Congress absolutely must step in before more people are kidnapped/killed.

No words. 💔 #Justice4Renee

One day after ICE killed a mom in Minneapolis, Trump's agents shot two more people in Portland. How does Trump and his team respond? Not remorse. Not empathy. Just declaring the cases closed before the facts come to light, then covering them up by blocking local investigators.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said. That is called murder when they do that. Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.

To be crystal clear, I am a taxpayer and would NOT like my tax dollars to be used to “acquire” Greenland, through purchase or military force. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER‼️

Today the Pentagon censured Senator Mark Kelly and moved to strip part of his earned military retirement benefits for stating the truth. This administration is trying to convince Americans that truth is whatever it says it is—even when the evidence is plainly in front of us.

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

13 Years of Sobriety #soberlife #mentalhealth #writerlife #lgbtq🌈 #formerlyincarceratedstudents

If the president of a sovereign nation can be picked up for a delayed felony trial in another nation what’s protecting Trump?

if i were to ever have the privilege of being sworn in to an office, i would choose a copy of Black Reconstruction

A new era begins for The Big Apple!
