Agreed: this should be on the front page of every newspaper, reporting to people the details of what he actually said in those 200 posts. Picture the Prime Minister of Great Britain doing this and staying in power.

Every Democrat running for office needs to promise investigations and full prosecutions from top to bottom, remove its funding bloat then break up the agency and distribute its core remaining useful functions across other agencies.

Our president is literally insane. He has posted over 100 times today: death threats, attacks, insults and deranged rambling. What an a—hole. Imagine a friend of yours posted 100 times on Christmas attacking imaginary enemies. Ugh. I’m looking forward to the upward spiral out of this in 2026!

Thank you Rick Steves!

Nina Jankowicz: “They’re not doing this because they have any evidence of censorship — they lost a Supreme Court case that made those claims… They’re doing this because the group of researchers and advocates have stood up to liars like Donald Trump and the platforms that enable them.”

Holiday spoiler: if you are a gift-getting friend of mine, there’s a good chance you are getting my favorite book of the year @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social ‘s “No Straight Road Takes You There”. Thanks for the bulk delivery that arrived today @haymarketbooks.org & thank you Rebecca for all that you do.

Worth repeating this with every new Epstein document drop. The party of Denny Hastert is the party of Jim Jordan is the party of Matt Gaetz is the party of Donald Trump. Looking the other way and protecting child predators from the law is their brand.

Amazing results in New York remind me how disappointing it is that congestion pricing efforts have stalled in San Francisco. With congestion pricing, Muni service could be robustly funded, transit ridership would climb, and traffic through much of the Bay Area would significantly decrease.

""I want people to know what happened to him, a man who lived 30 years here, hardworking, paid taxes, and they treated him like an animal," said Gantchev's wife,"

Just watched the 60 Minutes segment. Basically it debunks the fundamental claim used by Trump admin that the detainees it sent there are “terrorists” and corroborates torture using clips from El Salvadorean influencers Bukele uses internally. Would be a shock to low information voters, probably

Great interview with @jasmineforus.bsky.social - so thoughtful and straightforward. She will be a great senator for Texas.

Important.

“Oil… oil… oil… oil… oil… oil…” TLDR: It was never about drugs

Susie Wiles told NYT she didn't call Elon Musk "an avowed ketamine" in one of her ELEVEN interviews with Vanity Fair. "That’s ridiculous. I wouldn’t have said it and I wouldn’t know." Vanity Fair: Cool here's a recording of you saying that. www.huffpost.com/entry/brown-...

Really lovely tribute to Rob Reiner from @davidcorn.bsky.social who knew him: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Rob Reiner directed my favorite movie in the world, and then made all my dreams come true by, with Cary Elwes, organizing a cast reunion table read Zoom fundraiser for WisDems. A heart, spirit, and talent bigger than the whole world. May his and Michele's memory be a blessing.

Chris Minns Premier New South Wales: ‘Ahmed is a real-life hero. Last night, his incredible bravery no doubt saved countless lives when he disarmed a terrorist at enormous personal risk. It was an honour to spend time with him just now and to pass on the thanks of people across NSW.’

Trump expresses his deep enjoyment of news of the violent death of one of his critics. This is the conduct of a dangerous psychopath.

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

Great discussion! Thank you both.

Murphy: "This isn't shocking, bc over last year, Trump has been engaged in a dizzying campaign to increase violence in this country. He's restoring gun rights to felons, eliminated the WH office of gun violence prevention & stopped funding mental health grants & community anti-gun violence grants"

Great reporting - please read.

Great video!

If the photos are too gross to release, they need to be described.

I’m so proud of the talented Leo High School Choir and all they are doing to represent the South Side of Chicago!

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

Thinking this is wrong isn’t radical. Thinking it isn’t is.

♥️ “ICE looked at that school, saw a community standing up for families, and decided it wasn’t worth it.”

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"

Trainwreck? In October 2024, The Economist called Biden's economy "the envy of the world."

Rep. Grijalva says she was pepper-sprayed by ICE

Love and respect!

This is what government censorship actually looks like: defunding entire fields, deporting researchers, and quite effectively chilling speech that helps people understand how our information systems are being exploited and calls out powerful people and platforms for their bullshit.

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

Alito on the first point he finds “decisive”: “the impetus for the adoption of the Texas map…was partisan advantage plain & simple.” Red herring. Everyone concedes this. Kagan with the actual dispositive question: “did TX accomplish its partisan objectives by means of a racial gerrymander?”

"ICE is arresting the worst of the worst." Everything this administration tells us is a lie.

Agreed! Queen Halle speaks for me.

I know it's too easy to grow numb to the constant flood of bigotry that comes out of his mouth but it does seem morally important you don't allow yourself or anyone else to become desensitized to this vile racism as a normal part of our politics
