Excellent instructional video pass it on

Video message from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KckG... www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/s...

if you want to know what it is like in minneapolis, I don’t even have to scroll on facebook to find a horror story. it’s basically my whole feed. everyone i know in minneapolis is seeing ICE take people—at gas stations, taquerias, bus stops, schools. just snatching random people.

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

I invite all Americans to join Minnesota in a day of unity tomorrow.

“They're liars”: @jayapal.house.gov joins The Weeknight to respond to the killing of a U.S. citizen by an ICE agent in Minneapolis.

NPR's Jan. 6 archive brings together reporting, video, documents and testimony to show what really happened during the Capitol riot. Explore the timeline, cases and evidence behind the attack.

Trump and his cronies can try to dress this up, but it is an illegal act of war to replace Maduro and grab Venezuela's oil for his billionaire buddies. Full statement below:

Christmas music.

Dear @nytimes.com please just pay @jamellebouie.net to read his own work. This AI voice is torture and I have children to feed and work to do and want to listen. Many thanks. (Also the dulcet tones of Jamelle helps me sleep later even though this is nightmare fuel.)

The dude that runs the funny paper is smarter than the president.

“Get insurance companies out of it. We don’t need a middle man. They’re like the mob, taking their cut off the top.” @RepTimBurchett unwittingly makes the case for MEDICARE FOR ALL as Republicans flail for a way to deal with skyrocketing health care costs. (H/T @PabloReports)

We have to use every tool available to us - including our dollars. This Black Friday and weekend @blackvotersmatterfund.org asks you to join “We Ain’t Buyin’ It!” to send a message to Trump’s corporate enablers. Learn more about the companies targeted in this campaign here: weaintbuyingit.com

I have been in the ER with my mother in Nebraska since 9:30 am. It’s 7:02 pm. They have known she needs a room since 10am. Why is this health care so expensive again? #mfa

Terrific

Hey Megyn Kelly, 14-year-old Eloise would like a word: “If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good… because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.” Sound up! 🔥🔊 1/2

She’s horrified by a functional (and really nice) bathroom but fine with kids going without food and families dealing with a doubling of their health care. I’m horrified. She’s horrific.

💯

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

Nebraska residents and former inmates are frustrated by plans to turn a Work Ethic Camp into an immigrant detention center called the “Cornhusker Clink.” “We didn’t ask for this,” said Nate Schneider, McCook’s city manager. https://wapo.st/42VPEHR

What it means to seek refuge in the U.S. has been transformed, casting aside an ethos of helping the persecuted that is nearly as old as the country itself. One Afghan family's story of separation across the world shows the human consequences.

The only good laugh I had today.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

S#its on the people in a crap AI video and then tears down our house.

#nokings omaha

#Nokings Omaha. The pissed of grannies lead us in song. I’m so pissed at 50. My kid at 14 is just sad. Sorry the vid is horizontal. It’s for my elderly mom who likes a horizontal vid.

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy. We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets. If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

"Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God's children." —MLK Jr.

Me: If drug prices went down 100% what would you pay? 11yo: Zero. My 11yo is smarter than the president. This is not normal.

WHAT IS THIS

👏👏👏👏 🇻🇪 Now let's make our posts about who won, rather than who didn't win.

#kristinoem back at it again. These videos really just write themselves at this point. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

This is it #trumpshutdown 🎥: @warnock.senate.gov

HERO Activists from Fossil Free London disrupted a Republican Overseas UK dinner in Windsor celebrating Donald Trump’s state visit. The event took place at the Guildhall, just minutes from Windsor Castle where Trump is being hosted by King Charles. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Big sigh. Watch this. Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting? No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

Facts are facts: Right-wing extremists account for the overwhelming majority of extremist-linked deaths in America.

Yes. Yes, they are.

Kirk was not dumb. But he misrepresented facts and did not bring “deep rigor” to our debate. He should not have died today. Let his record speak for itself.

Am I the only person who thinks this is INSANE?

holy shit this is a helluva ad from the Democrat running against Joni Ernst in Iowa. worth every second

🔥 Vice President Kamala Harris phoned Rep. Nicole Collier, who has refused for over 30 hours to bow to the GOP’s police-state tactics on the TX House floor. Harris told her: “History will reveal you as heroes of this moment.” Texas is the front line. The nation is watching. #WeveHadEnough

“With less they beat slavery. With less they beat Jim Crow… Harriet Tubman didn’t have email, Twitter, Texts, TikTok…”

When do we stop calling it the "Department of Justice"? #WordsMeanThings

@marcelias.bsky.social: "I want everyone to pay attention... Trump is laying the groundwork to steal the 2026 election."

If you are a parent, and the house is on fire, and you can access the hose, you spray everything to put out the fire and ruin a lot of things in the process. You know you will protect the most important things (people and home) and deal with the rest later when you are on more level ground.

All new numbers? 1) presidents don’t present their charts. They have people. 2) teachers explain charts. President’s people do too. 3)wtf

This is just the right amount of f-no I need right now.

I disagree. I will tell you what's wrong with his jeans. 🧵

Since we are in full fascist stuff I feel like we need a thumbs down button from @bsky.app cause I am hearting things that make me sick.
