My theory of the moment: The extraordinary courage of ordinary people in places like Minneapolis is reawakening us to our social and economic ties to immigrants. It's making "love thy neighbor" cool again. That's the ultimate antidote to MAGA hate. Thoughts on this: newrepublic.com/article/2059...

Every day is a good day to fight for human rights.

Don't know why we all make rednecks the butt of our incest jokes when the rich fuckers are RIGHT THERE

Truth bears constant repetition.

"And what will you eat during the Puppy Bowl?" "Puppies."

somebody should inform the Politico/CNN/Axios/NYT brunchlord media establishment that corruption has hollowed out public safety, labor rights, and consumer protection, opening the door to decades of mass suffering and death I feel like that might be an interesting story

Call me crazy, but I don't want my tax dollars paying the president for frivolous lawsuits

so crazy to me that a woman asked trump if he has any words for epstein's victims and he said "you as a young woman should smile more." it will go nowhere bc republicans refuse to hold trump accountable, but it's still pretty crazy.

It’s hard to put into perspective how truly massive the warehouse is that was recently sold by the Rockefeller Group to the Department of Homeland Security for $70 million to build a concentration camp in Surprise, AZ. Across the street is a huge neighborhood and a school. It’s 400,000-square-feet.

Turns out that democracy doesn’t die in darkness, it dies in the golden glow of immense riches. www.nbcnews.com/business/med...

Believe these people when they tell you that it’s more important to commit depraved acts to terrorize the population than to follow the law and the Constitution.

Making it make sense: Epstein wasn't a global mastermind. He did not orchestrate a vast conspiracy that led us to today. He was a very rich man with connections to other very rich men. The shared culture of these men is that they have a right to dominate and abuse others without consequence.

So Musk intentionally forced xAI to embrace making sexualized material to increase user active seconds, and the AI chatbot had, throughout 2025, only two employees devoted to safety compared to dozens of staffers on similar teams at OpenAI or other rivals. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Closing the Kennedy Center for two years so the government can install a $29.99 all you can eat buffet *with* a dessert bar and a folksy gift emporium

/5 The people who normalized and promoted Jeffrey Epstein after his conviction sent the message that he was safe now. Children got raped under the shadow of that message.

What the hell, Brighton?

I don’t know if we will ever get anywhere close to the truth of all this, but my gut tells me all of it is even worse than we assume

The charges against Don Lemon are ridiculous. He’s a target because he’s black, because he’s media, and because he’s a Trump critic, and because Trump and his minions cannot accept any dissent. It’s deeply pathetic, unamerican, and lawless.

Artificially inflated housing bubbles have worked out so well in the past.

Looks like immigrants have caused another American worker to lose her job.

As dangerously cold temperatures move through New York, we have opened 10 warming centers across all five boroughs to provide safe, heated indoor spaces for New Yorkers in need. Centers will be open through at least Monday evening at the following locations —>

It’s been kind of crazy-making to watch the massive retconning of what that uprising actually was and actually did—from a strong, multiracial, and largely nonviolent protest movement that scared the shit out of a lot of powerful people to a bad dangerous destructive wave of “riots”

The amount of media coverage of the Oscar nominations and Jack Smith’s testimony to Congress today will be inversely proportional to the importance of each.

Trump can’t find his ass with both hands so this isn’t really a surprise. Somebody give him a map to Gansu.

I came to Congress to do the job: to work for people and protect them. Now I’m facing 17 years in prison for standing up to this administration and to ICE. But if they think I’ll back down, they are wrong. Read more:

To be clear, Disney asked for quotes, then deleted the post because folks passed the vibes check 😂

If you offer me media owned by Murdoch, Nexstar, Larry Ellison, etc to prove a point about Democrats, I think I have the right to suggest that you are accepting right wing framing, regardless of which facts that media chose to highlight.

Miller is confusing the rules of “Risk” with international law.

Does anybody really believe that cops are going to arrest cops? That the National Guard will help? People power is the only way.

Believe it or not, it was once very unusual to see videos of people getting killed. Now we're all going frame by frame. Take care of your brains folks. You can't make this murder right by replaying it.

Trump has gone completely mad.

Well, look who got a new face for Christmas!

It’s not an “overhaul of childhood health protections”. It’s the removal of childhood health protections. It’s mass murder.

All I want for my birthday today is justice for what happened five years ago. Since that seems too far fetched at this point, I’ll settle for political asylum, preferably someplace warm.

More like the Moron Doctrine.

Oil is the new Banana.

Trump says a lot of delusional stuff, but this takes the biscuit.

If it helps, Donnie, the generals didn’t respect you either.

He’s invoking the fucking Monroe Doctrine. This is very very very bad, y’all.

Omg, he’s lecturing us on the difference between jails and prisons and insane asylums and mental institutions. He’s just rambling now.

“Restaurants are opening all over DC”. Excuse me but what the actual fuck?

It’s so awesome that we have billions to basically hand over to Exxon and Chevron but can’t help US citizens get health care.

Does Trump even understand the words he’s reading? He just lost his place and read the same thing twice.

For those of you keeping track at home, we are now in 1939. 🚩🚩🚩
