If you let them, the horrors will devour you whole. Making space to live and smile is an act of resistance. So is helping others to do the same. If you’re an artist in this time, remember that what you’re doing is part of the emotional support infrastructure. They want you silent. 1/2

Yesterday, ICE killed Renee Nicole Good. Today, CBP shot two people in Portland. Federal immigration enforcement agencies are escalating violence in our communities—and calling it “public safety.” It’s not.

Renee Good was the NINTH person shot by ICE-in the last four months alone All victims were in their vehicles-in apparent violation of DOJ policy Yet they will continue their campaign of depraved indifference and abject cruelty-regardless of how many people they kill Because Trump doesn't care

Hey world-do you REALLY want to come here for World Cup and put money into pockets of a Nazi regime? Boycott, like you would have done for Berlin in 1936. Cancel your trips to Disney and other US vacation spots. Please, stay home. It's a safer and more moral thing to do. Return when democracy does

This would be an excellent time for the religious community if all faiths to take to the streets of Minneapolis to protest. A innocent woman died today. For this racist regime. And the agent that shot her should be arrested.

Thank you Eugene Goodman for saving Democracy during the Capitol insurrection #January6th

I don’t understand how the first reaction from leadership isn’t “This is an impeachable offense. My colleagues must defund Hegseth and begin drafting articles immediately.” Like, even if it doesn’t get done, how are you not planting this flag in the ground immediately?

More than six months ago, from me at Law Dork: Trump is spiraling. We face the consequences. Where are the other branches? James Madison expected more from the other "departments," as he referred to them. www.lawdork.com/p/trump-is-s...

For those whose sudden expertise on Korean politics has waned: the opposition party has vowed to impeach Yoon EVERY SATURDAY until they basically shame him into resigning or his own party is shamed into voting against him. He's looking at a charge of treason or insurrection.

Anti-war march in NYC, organized overnight. Happening right now, 8th Ave. People care.

Today, in your city. Get out there!

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

It's Jan 1, 2026. The ACA advanced premium tax credits have now officially expired. Millions of Americans now have to spend hundreds of dollars more each month for their health care (if they can still afford it at all) simply because Republicans didn't think that was a worthwhile problem to stop.

This Jack Smith deposition makes one thing abundantly clear: If Donald Trump wasn’t re-elected, he’d be spending the rest of his life in prison. And he should be.

Right, okay, it’s that time of night.

This is why Gen Xers still have our DVDs and CDs (and devices to play them). Shame on the streamers!

Happy Holidays! If you haven't seen it, #LastChristmas is now on Netflix. IMHO, one of the best recent holiday films. Heartfelt script by/costarring Emma Thompson w/ Emilia Clark, Henry Golding, Michelle Yeoh. Dir: Paul Feig. Bonus: soundtrack showcases George Michael tunes. Tissues required.

A brief return of the Murderbot Humble Bundle! The charity is still World Central Kitchen.

Art must live and breathe.

How many of these will be creative freelancers whose income has been severely jeopardized by AI? 🙋‍♀️

Good news from Oregon! Now for municipalities to do the same.

This is the framing we need to use with people of faith who have supported this administration. Is this what you want? Is this what Jesus would want?

If you are married to a US spouse, your temporary visa (usually for 3 months) will lapse before your case is processed. The government allowed you could stay in the US while awaiting case processing. Now the Trump admin is saying that is a visa overstay and arresting the spouses.

Dear Post-evangelical, Ex-Fundie, Deconstructed people of frayed Jesus faith: if you really miss the start of Advent, find yourself a Mainline church to visit/watch online. Yes, it has organs, unfamiliar hymns, and many elders. But they will likely not make you feel guilty or reject your gay kids.

Ah, such a tale as only an American living among the true folk abroad in the early 2000s can tell. Thanks for sharing. Brings to mind all my companions, hosts and wild/stupid things I did in rural otherlands during my late 20s (but with rum) ...

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

This again brings up the idea of elder abuse. Whoever is putting Grandpa up to this (again) is decidedly not doing their best for the patient.

What organizations can we support that will be countering with peaceful protest or meaninful action?

I believe that used to be referred to as Damaging the Witness of the Gospel ... at least, when it came to swearing, smoking and short skirts.

Rewatching The Hunger Games and realizing we've been so afraid of The Handmaid's Tale that we forgot about this opulence/starving dystopia staring us right in the face. Are we one rebellion away from The Reaping?

🚨 We’re hearing that Senate Democrats are on the verge of caving to Trump in another “Schumer Surrender.” That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now. Call: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Email: act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...

Proud of my Senator for calling attention once again to the GOP's evil plans.

The more videos I see of masked ICE agents smashing windows or driving off with babies in the backseat…the more I think about last week’s FBI warning Criminals are dressing as ICE to hurt people If we normalize ICE taking off with children, guess what happens? More trafficking & kidnapping

Where the big honking audit?

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

their plainly stated goal is to starve forty million people until they get what they want, which is to rip health care away from millions more that this is too monstrous for most news organizations to tell the truth about does not change the facts

“Even if Congress authorized it, this would still be illegal under US and international law because we are not in an armed conflict with these cartels,” @sarajacobs.house.gov, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, told @theintercept.com “And so this is just murder.”

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Stop. Using. AI. *especially to look stuff up

Horrifying, to know this is happening in Oregon right now. Kicking in the door when a baby is on the other side? Violence for what reason? Enough. Time for the only thing they understand: one big sustained strike together.

Please do not erase disabled folks and their families in discussion and reporting about Social Security! They're fully 1/4 of all recipients.

MAJOR BREAKING: In a late-night order, Judge Immergut, a Trump-appointee, has BLOCKED Trump from deploying the National Guard from ANY state or D.C. into Oregon.

This is the future for every working person who does not get health insurance from an employer or spouse. Who can afford this? People will suffer and likely some will die. Worth fighting for.

Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

Did ... the Commander in Chief think *this* was the war that broke out in Oregon?

I hate telling this story, but when tear gas is in the news... telling always feels importantm Tear gas is an abortifacient. When I was tear gassed, we were trying for a baby. The following day, I bled in a way I never have before. Like no period of my life before or since. Horror movie stuff.

Even with the few details so far from Utah Valley Univ, we immediately know: - Political violence is unacceptable. - Gun violence is unacceptable. - The terror those students felt/must now live with the rest of their lives is unacceptable. - Even so, this will happen again until we do something.

The Roberts Court just created second-class citizenship, the latest horror from a majority hell-bent on rolling back Reconstruction. The next Democratic administration must expand and reform the Court to save our democracy. I have the comprehensive bill to do it.
