As a Chiefs fan, I'm going to spend the next few months trying to get Donald Trump really invested in the Broncos

Once again, whatever Trump touches turns to shit. #usmnt #belgium #FIFA #worldcup

So Trump has lost the Strait of Hormuz.

i love her make her president

While Hegseth feasts on lobster tails and mountains of sushi, this is what he's feeding sailors deployed to the Gulf. www.newsweek.com/more-photos-...

Now we see if dementia Don can remember what he said yesterday.

“Whole Civilization will die tonight”—the horror. THE HORROR. When that civilization is the Persian civilization at the core of some much of our collective civilization. And coming from this second (rate) beast.

This is the man Senators who present themselves as serious human beings are going to rubber stamp into the office of Director of Homeland Security. Show some self-respect and some love of country and vote no.

The US and Iran have obviously not been at war for 47 years, as regime propagandists tell us. What has been going on for 47 years is the Saudi-Iranian regional proxy war. So the propaganda defines us as a Saudi proxy state.

Just thinking about what we could do with a billion dollars a day that doesn’t include bombing people.

And here we all are at the beginning of WWIII. Interesting how much a distraction it is from Trump's involvement in the biggest sex trafficking ring in the history of the world 🌎 EVER. Release the fully unredacted Trump/Epstein files. NOW.

Ossoff’s statement is 1000x stronger than Schumer-Jeffries. This is a moderate Jewish Senator from a Trump state. The split isn’t moderate vs progressive, but leading vs poll-reacting

“Article I of the Constitution gives Congress the exclusive power to declare war. This attack is very obviously large enough to qualify as a war. That means it just as obviously requires congressional authorization.” open.substack.com/pub/theunpop...

“Spending three days on the ground in Minneapolis brought home something that may not be obvious from afar: Minnesota, especially the Twin Cities, has been—and still is—under a paramilitary occupation in which the federal government is at war with the population.” www.thebulwark.com/p/what-i-saw...

TONIGHT: Organizers in Minnesota are asking you to shine a light for their state.

Abolish ICE, abolish DHS, redistribute the other agencies, prosecute actual criminals, such as people who commit execution-style murders of Americans in broad daylight.

On the execution in Minnesota: Obviously, the individuals involved should be held accountable. But responsibility goes to the top of ICE and CBP, and DHS. Their appropriations come up next week in the senate. Not a cent for DHS without pulling ICE and CBP off the streets, in MN and everywhere else.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights. There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us. This is my favorite guide.

If only you were in a position of power to exercise some kind of leverage against the administration to make this happen.

The term “law enforcement” should not be used by media, except perhaps in quotations. It has sadly become an Orwellian term that is used to magically sanctify violence. Language matters. Be specific. Describe individuals with names and ranks. Say exactly what they did. Don’t repeat fascist hocum.

Friday, January 23 is a National Day of Solidarity and push for corporate accountability, led by Minnesota organizers and national allies. It’s a great day to take a sick day and smoke a jay. Non-violent protest takes many forms. #handsoff #nationaldayofsolidarity

"America is an oil company with an army." —George Carlin

if i was running a political party and every time my opponents held power they started illegal wars for oil and crashed the economy i would simply say that repeatedly

DOJ is still in violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Section 8: Powers of Congress The Congress shall have Power To…define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offences against the Law of Nations; To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.” In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

I just taught my lecture course on mid-20th c US history, which starts with Harding and concludes with Nixon. For the first time, I had to pause and stress that those scandals were actually shocking at the time and, what’s more, that Americans actually demanded people be held accountable.

Looks like we’re going to war with Venezuela to distract from the Epstein files.

Sit and Talk - sexual predators of children and those who know about it, tolerate it and do nothing to stop it - should be put out of office and transferred to a jail cell - at the very least they should not be our chief executive - youtu.be/-vEi6eSFhSw?...

With the Epstein case, we either end up in a world where pedophilia, sexual assault of children, and human trafficking are endorsed by the United States of America, or we hold every single person involved in these heinous crimes accountable. It appears the Trump regime is trying hard for the former.

I know people have a lot on their plates right now, but the opposition candidate who Erdogan most wants to avoid running against is being threatened with a jail sentence of over 2000 years. apnews.com/article/turk...

So now we are going to bomb Venezuela (more) to distract from the fact that Trump is in the Epstein files?

💥 DOUBLE BOOM 💥 <An email from Epstein to Maxwell in April 2011 reads: "I want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is trump.. [Victim] spent hours at my house with him">

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

Bullies gain power when their misconduct succeeds in causing righteous people to yield in the face of wrongdoing. That’s why voting for Trump's continuing resolution - without any protection against his health care cuts or his growing illegality - is a mistake. I voted NO.

Yes. This.

Light em up ya’ll.

Life imitating art.

Tag your lawmakers and comment. Tomorrow I am sending emails and making calls. @repkatiejones.bsky.social @repangiecraig.bsky.social @repcasar.bsky.social

This chimes with what I remember and experience of Ohio, right down to themes of and anecdotes about local news and social mobility that I tried to handle in "On Freedom." The essay is wonderful and I am liking forward to reading "Paper Girl." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

There are many good science fiction novels. Not a single one that I have read delivers a happy vision of the future in which aged right-wing billionaires control the media.
