Trump: “…an alcoholic’s personality” Vance: “…a conspiracy theorist for a decade” Vought: “…right wing absolute zealot” Musk: “…an avowed ketamine user” These aren’t the wild opinions of a Twitter troll. It’s coming from the White House Chief of Staff. They are who we think they are.

The same Rick Scott who bilked American taxpayers of a jaw-dropping $1.7 billion? Any person with common sense would ask him, not only is this criminal, but how did you ever think you'd get away with it? He belongs in prison, not in the United States Senate. www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

Undecided voter: “How can someone like you convince me that my vote matters” James Talarico: “They wouldn't be trying so hard to stop you from voting if your vote didn't matter — Texas is one of the hardest places to vote in the entire country. That is by design”

Lindsey Graham on Joe Biden. 10 years ago and today. South Carolina, we can do so much better than the sycophant Lindsey has become.

We just murdered eight more people in boats.

Hegseth murdered more people today but still refuses to release the second strike video from September.

The captain in charge of this flight is inexperienced and unqualified. Is that a good thing?

This is a real headline on the New York Times website. Support independent media.

This feels a little too on the nose: Under Trump, America only wants people who don’t check facts www.npr.org/2025/12/04/n...

Hanukkah sameach to those who celebrate 🎉

As always, we don’t yet know the identity of the shooter or the motivation for the massacre but we *do* know it involved one of the millions of guns that are drowning this country.

Re upping, given yesterday’s events at Brown University (Providence, RI)

Two victims of previous school shootings — Mia Tretta, who was shot in the stomach in 2019 at Saugus High School, and Zoe Weissman, who survived the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School — are now at Brown. Gun violence is out of control in this country.

More than 126 cases have been declared in the latest outbreak and 303 people have been quarantined.

No president is legally allowed to tear down portions of the White House without any review whatsoever. And no president is legally allowed to construct a ballroom on public property without giving the public the opportunity to weigh in.

Every time I see this dude tweet I am reminded of bsky.app/profile/numb...

Just saw a Parkland survivor post about being on lock down at Brown University. We've failed generations of kids with our gun fetish

“No, WE didn’t forget the mother in this situation. YOU did. You voted for this… it was ok until it happened to YOU.” #ForcedBirthNation

When the streets start telling the truth, it’s because the institutions won’t. What’s become painfully obvious is that ICE agents aren’t trained to make us safer. They’re just recruits who thirst for power, violence, and cruelty. [street art from around the country]

This ad from the far-right Heritage Foundation repeats threats made directly by Trump, Vance, and others: "Do exactly as Trump wants, or he will cut off all funding for your state." Hopefully these types of threats, which underline that Trump is a dangerous dictator wanna-be, will backfire bigly.

You'll see this article posted a lot today. That's only because everyone should read it. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/12/u...

Lawless, criminal behavior

To be fair, he’s right I don’t need a tRump watch, tRump steaks, a tRump tie, a tRump golf club membership, or a tRump “university” degree 🤮

Weeks ago he was selling nonexistent Trump watches and now he’s saying we don’t need as much stuff. Make it make sense

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

After Marcelo Gomes da Silva was arrested by ICE on his way to volleyball practice in Milford, he made a promise to the men he shared a cell with: He’d be a voice for immigrants unfairly detained. He's one of Boston Globe Magazine’s Bostonians of the Year. trib.al/p9Edy6F

I'm searching Getty Images and found some photos credited to the Boston Herald that redact the faces of ICE/federal agents. They don't redact the face of the guy they're arresting. I'm curious about the ethics of doing this. I don't think I've ever seen this on Getty before.

Bennie Thompson on Noem: "Her arrival was short lived. She left in the middle of the hearing ostensibly to go to another meeting. We found that the meeting had been canceled, so she could've stayed. But nonetheless, we're not surprised, because this is who she is."

Mother of Karoline Leavitt’s Nephew speaks out after ICE arrest: I think what I would have to say to Karoline is just because you went to a catholic school doesn't make you a good catholic.

I don't think people are really processing the fact that the sitting U.S. President and his team — and maybe the Supreme Court — and maybe half the Congress — want to force us to accept that we should obey the President and not the Constitution. I don't know what news would be bigger than that.

Representing oligarchs as working class heroes is a new low…even for us.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him. I don’t know how else to say it…

"Families tell us that their children are weak, faint, pale and often crying because they are so hungry." Detention Facilities Expose Families to Worms, Moldy Food, Denied Medical Care, and Sleep Deprivation

NEW: A judge ordered the immediate release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from the Trump admin’s custody, concluding he's been illegally held by ICE for months.

BREAKING: Judge Paula Xinis has ordered the immediate release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia: "since Abrego Garcia's wrongful detention in El Salvador, he has been re-detained, again without lawful authority."

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

I'm getting tired of this President using his platform to verbally abuse and demean people in our country just because he can. Hey dickhead, try doing your job better instead of focusing on all the 1980s put-downs.

Denmark has labeled the United States as a potential security concern for the first time in an annual report released by one of its intelligence agencies, offering more evidence of the increasingly fraught transatlantic alliance between Europe and the US.

#GVerse #FuckICE detain U.S. citizen for "looking" Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground. Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse. The incident occurred at the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood in Minneapolis. #DemsUnited

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”. If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

Trump has pardoned huge amounts of fraud and truly heinous crimes. In particular, he's pardoned more corrupt elected officials than any other President, and it's not particularly close. This President is a crook through and through.
