A Georgia couple who terrorized a Black family at a child's birthday party with Confederate flags, racial slurs, guns, and death threats were sentenced for a hate crime. Joe Torres got 20 years; Kyla Norton got 15.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from yesterday’s Epstein files release. WHAT ELSE ARE THEY HIDING???

The boss is the definition of a true patriotic American and he always has been, always. God bless him.

Bruce Springsteen@brucespringsteen.net

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

CNN put together a clip of JD Vance claiming ICE agents have "absolute immunity" followed by him two weeks later claiming "I didn't say that officers who engage in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity"

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice." Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

I’ll never ever believe that Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris lost their elections and Jack Smith’s damning testimony only helps to cement that for me.

Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left. And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil

💔 A European Parliament interpreter could not hold back tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv. The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.

Ossoff: "She's gonna have to give up her insurance in the middle of chemotherapy while she's fighting breast cancer. What are people supposed to do when they lose health insurance in the middle of a cancer battle? ... this is life or death"

Phang: It just underscores how much this Trump administration has destroyed any concept of public safety — that federal cases cannot be prosecuted in the state of New Jersey because Alina Haba refuses to actually step away from this bullshit.

Thousands of Starbucks workers are on strike for a living wage and better working conditions. Stand with them by boycotting Starbucks until it can strike a fair contract. sbworkersunited.org @sbworkersunited.org

Zohran Mamdani has called for a boycott of Starbucks until the company can bargain a fair contract with its striking workers. We joined members of the mayor-elect's team on the Starbucks picket line in NYC.

Sanders: The wealthiest people on earth are pouring hundreds of billions into research and development for AI and robotics. You think they’re doing that because they’re thinking, “Oh man, this is going to be something that will improve life for working people, for low-income people.”?

One of the greatest bassists ever. RIP Phil. 🥀

“Dance to the music”@aceofmalts.bsky.social

Remembering Phil Lesh. Born Mar 15, 1940, in Berkeley, CA, and passed Oct 25, 2024. He was the founding bassist of the Grateful Dead, known for melodic playing and innovation. His work with Phil Lesh and Friends kept the music alive and still influences rock today.

Oooh this is juicy. This is from Jim Comey's response to Lindsay Halligan's motion to disqualify defense counsel Pat Fitzgerald, and to set up filter protocols over old warrants. THE DEFENSE HAS REASON TO BELIEVE WHAT? lol

Love this, saying you are Christian with your mouth doesn’t make you one, especially if you do evil things. You have to show it with your heart.

Rev. Benjamin Cremer@brcremer.bsky.social

A Christianity that is known for its cruelty is a Christianity that no longer knows Christ. "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." -Jesus

Jesus spent most of his time healing the sick. Today, we have politicians in Congress with “Christ-follower” in their Twitter bios — but they’re trying to kick the sick off their healthcare. And they’re willing to shut down the government to do it.

Trump is shutting the United States Government to prevent the Epstein Files’ release. Trump does not want Rep Grijalva (D-AZ) seated, whose vote (218th) would cause Thomas Massie (R-KY) discharge petition to be certified, forcing vote in favor of releasing Epstein Files.
