*REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS. Please stop framing it as “Congress” when the only party preventing this from happening are the Republicans who have the majority & the complete lack of integrity. Democrats have *been* ready to stop these lawless acts.

I’m just glad the US military is finally focused on the real threats - Minnesota and Denmark.

How it started/how it's going

If all instruments were named like the hurdy-gurdy: Accordion = The breezy-wheezy Saxophone = The showy-blowy Violin = The stringy-pingy French horn = The horny-prawny

I genuinely believe mainstream democrat string pullers have STILL not grasped how far right they are, compared to the people they consider their “base”

this is the sickest shit ive ever seen

We don’t want Greenland. We want healthcare.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

No funding for ICE. Impeach Kristi Noem now. Hold Trump and his lackeys accountable for the violence and terror being inflicted all across our country.

I don’t know how much louder we could have all screamed that this is exactly what it would come to. THEY PUT IT IN WRITING IN PROJECT 2025. Stephen Miller went on Charlie Kirk’s podcast and said they were gonna use national guard to help ICE abduct people! www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

“Private prisons” is as big an obscenity as “for profit health care”

Things are grim right now but as a reminder of who we are and why we fight, this is the US Women’s figuring skating champion.

Please be aware that contrary to their fundraising ads, @forwardblue.bsky.social has no relationship with the No Kings mobilizations, no record of doing anything in support, no inside information, and is ignoring requests to cease advertising that suggests they are involved.

y'all Kristi Noem absolutely deserves to be impeached but please, please be wary of Dems who try to use an impeachment vote on Noem (fine, but not gonna end in removal) as a substitute for action on ICE funding (real, hits them where it hurts)

lmao Mad Magazine has still got it

If McConnell had allowed the GOP-controlled Senate to impeach Trump after January 6, 2021, none of this would be happening. Republicans MUST be punished for their corruption and the damage they're inflicting on the United States by losing their seats in Congress. VOTE OUT ALL REPUBLICANS IN 2026.

@joshtpm.bsky.social Josh nails it here. Stop fretting. We'll get back to the other issues, but people are scared and angry (and motivated) right now. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/is-it...

The problem is not a lack of training for ICE officers. The problem is that ICE itself is an aggressive, lawless, fascistic, racist and out of control paramilitary that must be stopped, defunded and disbanded. Enough already. Tell your reps to endorse this bill.

Here’s how to “make sense” of all this: The right is composed of evil people doing evil things who do not give a single fuck about this country, your state or your family. All they want is power and the power to crush anyone who isn’t a white man that believes in society oriented around white men.

Woo-hoo! @ifbookspod.bsky.social got a shout out on Stuff You Missed in History Class’s episode on self help books.

If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Surprise surprise the mainstream media are all breathlessly recapping the operation to grab Maduro instead of doing a journalism 🙄🙄🙄🫠

In celebration of Mamdani's first day in office, the map from our 2016 NYC atlas celebrating Queens as the most linguistically diverse place on earth. (800 languages spoken in NYC, according to NY's Endangered Language Institute, which collaborated with us on this map.

"we're here to inspect your daycare center"

It's striking that progressives like Tim Walz and Zohran Mamdani evoke the middle American attitude that, "Yes, we can fix these social problems because we're Americans and it's the right thing to do!" While the "America first" right only emulates failed and failing nation-states elsewhere.

😍😍😍

If you are a Portlander (OR) please sign the petition at SaveLloyd.com We’re trying to save this magnificent structure that is home to cool & weird businesses plus a magnificent ice skating rink. It’s one of the few large indoor spaces with free admission to walk during rainy winters & hot summers

On no, the people who don't pay taxes will run away and not pay taxes elsewhere! Won't someone think of the unpaid taxes that the state will lose?

Welcome to SURREAL WEEK, where calories don't count, drinking is governed by airport rules, no one cares how you're dressed, and marathoning old movies is the norm. You have until January 5th when doing absolutely fucking nothing becomes embarrassing again. Do nothing with it wisely.

Good thread

Every time a fascist degenerate quote tweets a TPM article a golden dukes fairy gets its wings

Dunno if I’ve said it recently so… Protect trans kids. 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

There’s a direct line from ‘just asking questions about women’s sports’ to criminalizing our health care, we warned you it was coming, you said it would be fine and you just had a few more questions.

They developed the "high school girl's sports" angle as a wedge issue, to lever their way up to full society-wide discrimination. What's endlessly stunning to me is how many purported liberals a) helped them when it started & b) are still helping them even after the larger purpose has become clear!

It's disability history month in the UK. Here's my favourite sketch and something to think about.

Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean. I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.

There is so much for which to remember Rob Reiner. In my family, we have long treasured this one bit he did with Carroll O'Connor on "All in the Family." It has always made me laugh, no matter how many times I've watched it. And we all could use a good laugh these days

Tell me that lie of the land sleeping all winter and I'll laugh in your face. Tell you of all the trees I've talked to this morning before the frost retreated from sun. Relay conversations with cold spirits, my communion with stretching shadows. – #EmilyCBanting #1982 #WitchSky

A Medicare pilot program will allow private companies to use artificial intelligence to review older Americans’ requests for certain medical care — and will reward the companies when they deny it. via @stateline.org www.newsfromthestates.com/article/medi...

COVID isn’t acting like the viruses most of us grew up with, and treating it like “just a cold” is putting people at real risk. David Brasure breaks down why SARS-CoV-2 is fundamentally different, how it causes long-term damage, and what we can do to protect ourselves.
