“We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” -Martin Luther King Jr.

It's almost like putting a quack anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist in charge of the nation's health policy has consequences. "The United States has now had more measles deaths in the past two years than we have had in the previous three decades combined...": www.ms.now/news/pennsyl...

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

You wouldn’t marry someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t be friends with someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t do business with someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t work for someone who lied to u like this. You’d want nothing to do with someone who lied to u like this.

Reminder... Any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message — they can't win on their ideas alone.

Hey @joerogan, you knew exactly who Trump was when you campaigned for him in 2024. Please don’t act like you’re surprised by any of this - the wars/regime change, the tariff madness, the masked federal thugs on our streets. Just be honest and say you fucked up by supporting him.

"I voted for Trump, and now I am losing my livelihood, I didn't vote for this, it sucks." Trump ran on a promise to hurt brown people, you voted specifically for this. So stfu.

There will be more protests on March 28 than any previous day in American history. Find your local No Kings event and join us in the streets again next weekend: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Jeffries: "The administration -- without any plan, any objective, any exit strategy -- has gotten us into this reckless war of choice in the Middle East. So the notion they would come up here and ask for additional money is beyond the pale at this moment."

Rand Paul to ICE officials on Pretti's killing: "Because people within the government made conclusions immediately that he was a terrorist and an assassin, people aren't believing that it's gonna be an honest investigation ... there has to ultimately be repercussions ... it's inexcusable."

Breaking WSJ: The highly classified whistleblower complaint against Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is related to a conversation intercepted last spring in which two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct? Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

I have to say that @deadder.bsky.social is one of my favorite political cartoonists. ❤️

Trump-appointed judge decries ICE’s ‘horrendous detention practices’ in Long Island and beyond “ICE held them, day after day, without access to bunks, bedding, soap, showers, toothbrushes or clean clothes,” wrote U.S. District Judge Gary Brown.

Trump breaks the law again, refusing to release the Epstein Files today, despite a federal statute requiring him to do so.

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

🔥🔥🔥 DO NOT BE DISTRACTED & STAY LOUD!! 🔥🔥🔥 DONALD TRUMP IS GOING DOWN!! TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS!!! I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared.

Republicans are using the government shutdown to illegally rip SNAP benefits away from 42 million Americans. 16 million children are at risk of going hungry. The extremists don’t give a damn. You deserve better.

Tsunami 🌊 of cruelty coming to your state just in time for the holidays. Food assistance-nope Toys under tree-nope Homes with adequate heat-nope Healthcare-nope Jobs with living wage-nope All so GOP gets massive tax cuts and he gets ✈️ and ballroom. We the people will not forget!

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

@warnock.senate.gov: "As a man of faith, here's something that I have noticed about evil... Evil always gets a little bit too impressed with itself. It's filled up with hubris. Evil always goes too far, and because it goes too far, it contains within itself the seed of its own destruction."

I was working on the story and he just came out and said it

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command. The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

Jimmy Kimmel’s return proves that pressure works. But the corporate-controlled media still can’t be trusted. As Maya Angelou said, when people show you who they are, believe them the first time.

Kamala Harris on The View on election night: "That night -- I grieved in a way that I have not since my mother died. The pain was not at all about losing a race. I knew what it was going to mean for the country ... all I could say over and over was 'my God, my God, my God.' It was very difficult."

Exactly this

More of this.

Yes. Yes, they are.

Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence. Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets. Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe. It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."
