This isn’t the Monroe Doctrine, this is the Karen Doctrine. Showing up to a place, acting like you own it, making a scene, being upset at anyone who isn’t white, and leaving it in shambles just because you can. It’s not colonization it’s Karenization.

I want to remind everyone that the US has sanctioned members of the International Criminal Court for going through a formal legal process to identify international leaders who engaged in war crimes, making them vulnerable to arrest.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Is the United States running Venezuela right now? RUBIO: What we are running is the direction this is going to move moving forward. Absolute soup

See, it’s not hard to denounce this and toe it into the larger pattern of criminality.

“The report makes clear that Mar-a-Lago was crucial to Epstein’s sexual predation, a fact that was well-known by Trump’s inner circle long before Epstein was charged with any crime.“ www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Yes, call your elected representatives in Washington, but also: Show up to a community board meeting. Run for for school board. Organize your neighbors. There's a lot of manageable things you can do. Everything helps.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Friendly reminder that W's Iraq invasion had 65% bipartisan approval when it started, even with debate about whether or not Saddam Hussein actually had WMDs. So the fact that this can't even crack 60% within the GOP is telling. 60% own-party support would typically kill a policy immediately.

MY NEXT SONG IS, “I CAN’T RELEASE THE TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES BECAUSE OF THE WAR IN VENEZUELA!”

Cancer research costs too much but we have the money to run Venezuela

Nightmarish. CBS News is now running straight state propaganda. They handed Hegseth all three segments and are now tweeting flattering sound bites.

What JD Vance really means by this is that Maduro is bound by US laws but Trump is not.

“Where will this go next? Will the President deploy our troops to protect Iranian protesters? To enforce the fragile ceasefire in Gaza? To battle terrorists in Nigeria? To seize Greenland or the Panama Canal? To suppress Americans peacefully assembling to protest his policies?“ @kaine.senate.gov

Allow me to connect some dots for you: Too much of the world currently relies for its basic functions on resources which must be continuously extracted. You burn that oil one time and oops, now you need more. Geopolitical horrors are, in fact, one of the reasons we need to move to renewables ASAP.

… Ed Markey: “illegal act of war”

Sen. Foreign Rel. ranking member Shaheen condemns attack:

fwiw it’s been about six weeks since Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras who had been convicted of trafficking drugs into the US

What I am saying here is every self-righteous Federalist Society type who is not loudly calling for the president’s impeachment is a bootlicking little bitch whose opinions about the law and the Constitution you never need to take seriously again

Our country is run by oil billionaires who need more super yachts

So if you’re Venezuelan and in the U.S., we’re kidnapping you and flying you back to Venezuela. And if you’re Venezuelan and in Venezuela, we’re kidnapping you and flying you to the U.S.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

three days into 2026 and our authoritarian government has already launched a violent racist propaganda campaign against taxpayer funded childcare (with the help of our garbage press) and illegally invaded a foreign country (with the help of our garbage press)

wild to see every news outlet use the term "capture" to describe what happened. we're not at war with venezuela! this is *objectively* an illegal kidnapping of a sovereign country's leader

Meanwhile, as IR research since Iraq shows, regime change unleashes unpredictable forces with terrible consequences. What will this mean for the region, for migration, for Chinese interests in Latin America, and how mad is Xi? 5/ bsky.app/profile/did:...

The Constitution is very clear: War powers belong to Congress, not the White House. Contact your Senators and demand that they use their Constitutional power to check the Executive Branch — or there’s no telling where this will end. act.indivisible.org/sign/tell-co...

Bragging that you just passed your 3rd dementia test is a great way of telling us they've made you take 3 dementia tests

On Fox News, Stephen Miller used the white nationalist great replacement theory (GRT) to explain the presence of Somalis in Minnesota. The MAGA right has been conditioned to interpret current events through that conspiratorial lens. And Miller effortlessly employs the GRT in his hateful rhetoric.

NEW from me: Currently on tap for Tony Dokoupil on his first day as CBS Evening News anchor -- taking a private plane to Miami to so he can go jet skiing with DJ Khaled and play soccer with David Beckham. Take that, elites! www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

This is why they want us talking about day care centers and $500 boots.

Awesome year of cartoons from Nick Anderson…

Been following the “they were always like this” vs “this is new and fucked up” debate and it occurs to me that “gives off Hitler particles” actually offers a great analogy: they were always radioactive; now inside the X chamber they have gone critical.

Forget about “making America healthy again” because Trump chemical industry hires want to expose us to more formaldehyde and other toxics to boost their profits. www.propublica.org/article/epa-...

“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration,” the North Carolina Republican Party's communications director wrote in an email response to us. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.” We didn't. #ICYMI, read the story that he wanted dropped:

After receiving a commendation for exceptional services to the Russian state from President Putin, Biden accuser Tara Reade—seen here in her luxury Moscow condo—has now become a citizen of the Russian Federation... молодец!

Our Constitution (Article VI) expressly forbids any “religious tests” for holding public office, so it would be impossible for a Bible or any other religious book to be “required” for swearing in.

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

AVERAGE net premiums are going up 114%, which is horrible enough, but again, that's an AVERAGE. Some people will see theirs go up 25%. Some 50%. Some 100%. Some 200%. Some 300%. Some 400%. Hell, some will actually see theirs literally go up ♾️ (infinity) percent, if they paid $0/mo last year.

Please make sure to read or listen to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social’s beautiful vision of a multicultural society based on fairness and opportunity. This is what the dream of America has always meant to me and exactly how we need to respond to the threat of MAGA killing off our democracy.

In the final hours before the subsidies for the Affordable Care Act are about to expire.

It's official: Congress and Donald Trump have allowed the enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies to expire. Millions of Americans will either lose their health coverage or face dramatically higher premiums.

JACK SMITH: “Trump was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on, and still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol — that’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.”

This is what “responsible gun ownership” looks like in America now: man firing a handgun at a can in his yard,a bullet traveling blocks away, a woman dead on her own porch holding a child. No malice.No intent. No confrontation. Just gravity, physics,and a gun where it never should have been fired.

Everything this administration does should be presumed to be lawless

Does affordability feel like a hoax to you?

This is why Harris lost in 2024. It has nothing to do with how liberal the party platform was compared to 2012. The Biden Administration did not even do the basics of 21st century communications his entire term

Incel: women like you will die alone because no man wants you. Me: okay, let me just inform my fiancé of this. Incel: so you got yourself a cuck. Me: big talk for a lad who can’t get women to talk to him. Incel: I have talked to a woman actually. Me: your mother doesn’t count. Incel: *blocks*

A much better end of year choice than Time magazine made…

MAGA: DEI is dead, gone, buried in the dustbin of history! Abigail Spanberger: Not in Virginia, bitches.
