Since the FCC prohibited Steven Colbert to air on TV his interview with democrat Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, here is the interview... Make it the most viral internet rebuke to the Pedo in Chief and CBS

Periodic reminder that mumps can cause testicular inflammation and subsequent infertility in post-pubescent males.

Trumpism and RFK Jr, its crazed witch doctor, are dragging us all back into the Dark Ages. And we are, all of us, yawning at the spectacle.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

Do you think the Trumpists have been polite up until now? Fuck all, the cruelty of family separation and kids in cages began Trump 1. Sorry, the Godwin rule not longer applies to this American run at fascism; they've been pressing buttons and pushing boundaries from jump. Next up a Kristallnacht.

FB: The Other 98% Federal "agents" do not double as judges. And these three did not commit any "crimes" punishable by death in our country. Abolish ICE in MN and countrywide.

When self-employed software engineer Nick Benson put out the call for dashcams online, he thought he’d get maybe 10 people to donate. More than 500 have shown up on his front porch in suburban Minneapolis. www.404media.co/how-one-guy-...

It is long past the time for a national general strike. 'This is not a government by consent of the governed. It is oppression.

Pretti was not in a dystopian novel. He was not in a video game seeming place. HE WAS IN THE REAL F WORLD WITH US.

Every day more lines are crossed & more people say “enough” and join their neighbors in resistance. Seeing a 5 year old child detained by ICE is breaks my heart & supercharges my commitment to end this horror. Look at his face-there is no way we can just sit by. #enough!

all the way.

Fascism is here. The Department of Justice isn't. This is all just brown-shirting now.

Hey peeps. Last night I recorded a few thoughts regarding what the escalation of violence suggests. I'll be recording other thoughts in nights to come, if folks find it useful. Community matters. More soon. www.youtube.com/live/NJVx5XV...

If you're inexperienced with this, 5calls.org has scripts and will set you up with the numbers of all your people. I don't usually use 5calls, I just wing it. If you're leaving a voicemail, don't forget to include your address so they know you're really a constituent!

A murderer is a murderer. If the problem is that the state is sponsoring and defending a murderer and saying so aloud causes the state to sponsor and defend more murders, the source of this problem becomes utterly apparent.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

US peeps: program the congress switchboard into your phone: (202)224-3121. Congress is failing us; rather than write them off, we must demand more. FFS, we pay their salaries, they should represent us! Call daily, recruit friends. This week’s topic: STOP bowing to the NRA & pass serious gun control

We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.

South Africa remains the most unequal country in the world, with the top 10% earning 70% of all pretax income. New study by A. Gethin & L. Czajka shows that inequality in 2019 was as high as in 1993. Racial inequality reduced only because top 10% Black incomes surged. ▶️ wid.world/news-article...

When you lose George Will this bad, whew. You're either doing something very right or very wrong.

I can’t stop thinking of all the things the Dems could have done besides cave. Imagine the gesture of solidarity if they had donated 100% of their salaries during shutdown to food pantries? Or set up their own: “Dinner from the Democrats!” I’m gonna pivot and channel my energy & rage into primaries.

Can confirm. I am okay and more motivated than ever to speak up. Nothing scares this administration more. Their power lies in our silence.

Unvaccinated infants are the second most likely group to get hospitalized for Covid after older adults. Any effort to minimize the effectiveness for kids is evil.

Although Trump has the broad power to grant a pardon or commutation to Maxwell, Raskin’s resolution would “put House members on record opposing a pardon for Maxwell, adding pressure to the White House if the chamber votes overwhelming in favor” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

"my extremely long friendship with the most notorious child sex trafficker of modern times has caused me to withdraw from public life. that said, I'm excited to teach your children next semester" — larry summers

the gulf between the swift brutality with which places like harvard treated students protesting genocide and the endless, endless latitude those same institutions have given people like larry summers tells you everything you need to know

Off topic, but because I'm listening to it now from Ohio, I have to thank you and Treme for turning me on to WWOZ. A truly great radio station in an era when the medium is corporatized and in decline. I never know what I'm going to hear when I tune in, and I'm always glad when I do. Byen mersi!

3 infant #pertussis deaths this year in Kentucky. "Of the three infant deaths reported over the past 12 months, all three were not vaccinated, nor were their mothers." We first tested maternal vaccination for whooping cough over 80 years ago. It's safe & effective & might have saved these babies.

"A three-time Donald Trump voter, he was approved just in the nick of time. That’s because the Trump administration is rewriting the disability eligibility rules, ostensibly to modernize the program, in ways that will make it even harder for aging blue-collar workers like Tincher to get benefits."

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

A breast cancer diagnosis can cost $80k in scans, surgery, chemo, and pathology within just a few months. Trump’s proposed ACA reforms wouldn’t come close to helping people cover that. More of my thoughts on @meetthepress.com ⬇️ www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-pre...

Democrats say Donald Trump molests children. As president, he's been far more likely to starve or deport them. Two Pinocchios.

Could not agree with the FBI more on this. But as a journalist I covered questionable shootings in which FBI agents shot citizens and as bureau policy withheld their names -- including one who had two separate bad shootings and was quietly shipped from Baltimore to another field office.

Le Pen’s RN has become the party of billionaires By voting to save the ultra-rich, the RN has clearly positioned itself as the party of billionaires, as a right-wing party on every level, much like Trump’s Republican Party thomaspiketty.wordpress.com/2025/11/11/l...
