Get rid of your ring subscriptions and the devices. Or, if you ABSOLUTELY cannot….At least try to put clear tape over the lens to make it very blurry but still able to detect movement.

Not only is it morally repugnant for the White House to use AI to make Nekiva Levy Armstrong appear to be crying— it also appears to be illegal In case anything still matters

Just call him President Epstein. Always. Let's erase the T-word.

Jack Smith is back on the horizon, and ready to testify tomorrow about Trump’s dirty laundry. The regime does NOT want you to see this and are doing everything in their power to distract us from the truth. Trump even sought a court order against his own DOJ to block Smith’s report. The Contrarian

I got in late last night. First thing this morning, I saw cars following an ice vehicle down the street, honking at it. Later, we didn't drive more than three blocks before we found people defending a childcare facility. (The idea that people have to defend a childcare facility... let that sink in)

Children! Absolutely disgraceful. This is what happens when Donald Trump’s government pays bounties for people. Doesn’t matter if they’re legal. Doesn’t matter who they are. Doesn’t matter if they’re five-years-old. How can anyone justify this any more? www.startribune.com/preschooler-...

A South Korean court has ruled that the 2024 imposition of martial law by then-President Yoon Suk Yeol constituted an act of rebellion as it sentenced his prime minister to 23 years in prison for his involvement.

The thing about America today is that if you just describe what is happening objectively and unemotionally you sound hysterical and partisan and what you have to remind people is that the reason for that is not you, it's the people doing the things you are describing

The basketball moms are organizing The dorky pastors are organizing The preschool parents are organizing The dive bar regulars are organizing The book clubs are organizing The taekwando dojongs are organizing The uncles group chat is organizing

An ICE observer They hold the observer down and then pepper spray his face up close... brutal

"President Epstein" is THE winner and what I shall call him from now on. There's nothing he hates worse than people not saying the T-word

C'mon, Dems cannot invoke the 25th amendment. The VP and the majority of Trump's sycophantic Cabinet would have to vote for it. Good luck with that!

ALMOST correct. If our checks and balances had held, we could have redeemed ourselves. But the GOP Congress bowed and the Roberts Court hid so now we're trashed

Today’s decision to give up the legal fight and drop this appeal is an admission that the Trump Administration’s effort to bully schools and colleges into abandoning lawful diversity and inclusion work was wrong and unconstitutional. apnews.com/article/dei-...

This was just a small part of his many sentences, which also included the threat of force. Headlines mean nothing now

Facts.

"Without us you'd all be speaking German", Donald Trump tells an audience in Davos, in Switzerland. Where the most common language is German.

What are the symptoms of untreated syphilis over, say, 30 or 40 years?

I know overall people don't understand our debt. But without the economy and trade partners, there is NO TRUST in US DEBT. Meaning, our government has no means to fill in the financial holes without printing $$ Inflation...that'll make you MISS the Biden years

Oh, look. The white president who thinks that asylum seekers come from insane asylums, that the Norwegian government gives out the Nobel Peace Prize, that stealth bombers are invisible to the naked eye, and that windmills cause cancer is talking about which black people have a "low IQ" again.

These numbers are a shitshow. The GOP knows they’re not sustainable, but they’re too afraid to actually do anything about it. That’s why you’re seeing so many of them resign. They understand what’s coming in the midterms.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin. This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

Do you know, how many conversations I've had with people that are like NOBODY HAS TALKED ABOUT IT girl they have you, go fucking read books stop binging video essay slop

I spend a lot of time, thinking about all of the reforms that will be necessary when this regime ends This from @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social is very smart www.nytimes.com/2026/01/18/o...

“Never build a dungeon you wouldn’t be happy to spend the night in yourself. The world would be a happier place if more people remembered that.” The wisdom of Vetinari in Terry Pratchett's "Guards, Guards".

"Never trust any ruler who puts his faith in tunnels and bunkers and escape routes. The chances are that his heart isn’t in the job." - Havelock Vetinari in, Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett.

constantly reminded these days of Nuggan, the dead god from the Discworld series, whose few remaining worshipers are subjected to trying to follow more and more insane rules created by his dying echos

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

Lawgeeks, these 18 pages are just delicious. Judge Novak really blasts Lindsey Halligan, "miscreant," for continuing to call herself United States Attorney in violation of a court order. Says no sanctions, for now, because she's such a newb. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Medication can be useful, but it doesn’t replace the need to understand the underlying mechanisms that shape our biology: 1.Sleep 2.Stress 3.Nutrition 4.Light exposure 5.Movement #HealthyLifestyle

The rise of urgent care: The doubling of urgent care clinics in the past 10 years worries some health experts, who say the trend masks the state’s lack of support for family medicine docs and general practitioners. The Lund Report's @lynneterry.bsky.social digs into the impact this shift is having.

How things are going for #doctors who carry a non-US #Passport, no matter how long they have been in the US. I’m sure the #hospitals where these doctors are 90% of the #ED or #hospitalist staff are doing great

Fight and help win a world war. Establish a global order that cements your national power for 80 years. Blow it all up. What am I missing?

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.

This is how New Jersey does it: Bruce Springsteen tells ICE "Get the F out" as he urges people to "stand against heavily armed mass federal troops invading an American city using Gestapo tactics against our fellow citizens." He then dedicated the song “The Promised Land” to Renee Good.

"...only because people in his own party remain silent." Thinking about the Republican leaders in my pink state who are just IGNORING what's coming out of DC

Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Roger Sterling's response to MLK's assassination on MAD MEN sorta sums up the entire series, and acts as a grim reminder of where we still are in America

There is simply no world in which this clothing choice is a coincidence.

Trump administration demands Britain adopt lower US trading standards instead of European ones. Capitulating to US pressure on this would allow sub-standard products on our market and severely damage trade with our most important trading partner - the EU www.politico.eu/article/dona...

How sad is this? The CDC closed its FOIA office, so this story could only be published because a Danish journalist provided Rolling Stone with the documents, after obtaining them through a freedom of information request to the University of Southern Denmark www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Just listened and highly recommend. Sort of reassuring, sort of not ... but I really enjoyed his dismissal of some of Trump's antics. #Perspective

The Republican-majority Congress could stop Trump from breaking laws and redirecting out national resources to target personal enemies. But they don't.
