Bailed-out farmers don’t want to live on Trump welfare: ‘They don’t want to go to the mailbox and get a check from the government’ www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

Regulations are not the enemy of innovation. In many cases they encourage it. Regulations are the enemy of reckless greed. Unregulated AI will have a catastrophic effect on the working class.

"The virus can lead to brain swelling, which can cause lasting damage, including blindness, deafness and intellectual disabilities..." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/11/w...

Remember when we were not losing jobs in droves, or at odds with all our allies, or attacking other nations for their resources, or deploying masked thugs to terrorize our citizens, or pardoning drug traffickers and violent criminals in exchange for bribes? It was only little over a year ago.

No parent wants this text. Thinking of the Brown University community.

I am not in the Epstein Files

This 20 year old citizen, Mobashir was tackled, brutalized & abducted by #ICE. "I felt like I was getting assaulted. I was getting kidnapped. And that’s exactly what it was,” he said. He poses this question: If this #ICELawlessness is happening on camera, what's happening off camera? Speak out! 🧵

Excited for Retro Covid.

#ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them. #DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it. #Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them. #PamBondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it. #CivilRights @aclu.org

ICE continues to assault, harass, & harm Americans. In Minneapolis, incompetent tax payer funded ICE hit a pedestrian & pepper sprayed civilians from their vehicles. This happened after ICE decided to go up & down a street demanding to see people's IDs, caused chaos & injuries, & then left. #Pinks

As a constituent, I am asking that @governorwalz.mn.gov and @keithellison.bsky.social arrest these men and prosecute them before they kidnap someone and intentionally freeze them to death

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

Corporations and ultra-rich individuals with numerous business interests cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own bottom lines. When billionaire conglomerates take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

David Ellison reportedly told Trump he’d make “sweeping changes” to CNN if Paramount’s takeover of Warner Bros. gets approved. Meanwhile, Jared Kushner and three Middle East countries are backing the bid — while Kushner advises Trump on foreign policy. Corruption on display.

Waste. Fraud. Abuse.

Small farmers definitely won't get what they need from that bailout, it's not enough. They're still going to go bankrupt

It’s not that I don’t feel bad for farmers, but you know how the old saying goes, you reap what you sow. You reap bankruptcy when you sow a grifting madman. Now we all suffer the financial consequences.

Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

They won't even deign to hide this. Trump has worn his abject corruption on his sleeve. You voted for him still.

"Local businesses were ready to push back. Posted on store- and restaurant-front windows were signs: 'Private area', '4th Amendment Workplace' and 'There’s always room at our table, but to enter past this point, we’ll need to see a warrant signed by a judge'...” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

‘Don’t pander to the tech giants!’ How a youth movement for digital justice is spreading across Europe

ProPublica reporter @nicolefoy.bsky.social found that more than 170 U.S. citizens had been detained by immigration agents. “The number became an important, irrefutable fact in the conversation about the immigration crackdown,” our editor-in-chief @sengelberg.bsky.social writes.

Amid NIH funding delays, reversals and uncertainty, a scientist at Harvard who studies breast cancer has lost one-third of her lab employees and wonders if she can continue her research experiments. n.pr/4a4N3zD

"She said she repeatedly told the agents she’s a U.S. citizen. “I just kept repeating it — I’m a U.S.-born citizen. I was born and raised here. This is my home. My baby’s waiting for me...” She screamed “Leave me alone...” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Farmers get a 12 billion dollar bribe because they voted for Trump even though he put many of them out of business through his tariffs and through shuttering U.S. AID. They don’t deserve the help: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“I’d have no problem releasing the video” “I didn’t say that, you said that. Fake news.” 5 days apart 😬 (From @therecount.com )

Trump's reckless tariffs have been crushing farmers. He found $40 billion to bail out Argentina. But only $12 billion to help the farmers hurt by his policies. You deserve better.

Colin Allred is dropping his senate bid & will be a running for TX-33 Jasmine Crockett is likely to challenge Cornyn for the Senate seat & if had my way — I’d love to see James Talarico take on Abbott for Governor

We are dealing with such corruption in every aspect of our government, I don't know how we undo the damage.

It's impressive that Big Tech was like: We aren't douchy enough. What if we made asshole intelligence and burned up some of the earth's power and water faster?

So it's gonna be Russia & the US against Europe in any future hostilities? Can't believe we even have to consider this!

Whoa … this is really strange. Federal law enforcement managed to confiscate almost two tons of cocaine, and arrest 3 suspects, without blowing the boat out of the water or killing anyone. 🎁 link ⤵️ www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

Here’s what he’s missing: We have a president calling immigrants “garbage” and affordability a hoax, a DOD secretary cosplaying war games with no accountability, a VP saying it’s “reasonable” to not want neighbors who speak another language, and a Speaker who believes women are inferior. The GOP.

People are saying that Trump is going to rescue the economy that he fucked up … wow ! it’s like …. Physically abusing someone and then afterwards speaking at an anti abuse rally.

Himes: "I think it's really important this video by made public ... it's important people see what it looks like when the full force of the US military is turned on two guys who are clinging to a piece of wood and about to go under just so they have a visceral feel for what it is we're doing"

CNN Finds Israel Killed Palestinian Aid Seekers and Bulldozed Bodies into Shallow, Unmarked Graves

“What have I done!” 🤡

Alligator Alcatraz Detainees Tortured in Small ‘Box,’ Amnesty International Says Migrants were allegedly sent to what detainees described as a four-by-four-foot "box" as punishment.

Rep. Crockett’s Statement on the Supreme Court’s Ruling on Texas’s 2026 Map

More than half of the immigrants arrested in high-profile ICE operations in Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and across Massachusetts, had no criminal record, compared with a third of immigrants arrested nationwide.

While unionized Starbucks workers are on strike for a fair contract, don’t cross the picket line! Show solidarity — like Zohran Mamdani and Bernie Sanders. Listen to what they had to say.

The boat strikes are illegal. Dope couriers are not military combatants. So killing them with air strikes instead of arresting them is murder. It’s that simple.

REMINDER: Trump has 15 DAYS left to release ALL the Epstein files--including hard drives of surveillance footage secretly recorded by Epstein at his houses. The Epstein Files Transparency Act requires Trump to release all the Jeffrey Epstein files by Dec 19.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.
