“This is how democracies die without a fight— not with a sudden coup, but with a slow erosion of resistance. By the time people realize what’s happening, it’s too late.”

🚨BREAKING: State election leaders and voting rights advocates across the country are blasting U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi for exploiting the killing of a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis by a federal immigration officer to “blackmail” Minnesota into handing over access to its unredacted voter rolls.

Of course

I hope that Democrats realize what’s happening in Minnesota is also a dry run for what the regime has planned for the midterms.

what in the Blue Blazes allows the US Government to commit EXTORTION??? "DOJ says ICE will leave if Minnesota gives over voter rolls." We'll stop murdering you IF you turn over everyone's personal private data. Now more than EVER FUCK ICE #WaterForICE #WEWERERIGHT

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies. At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

Lavrov: “If Greenland is ‘U.S. security,’ then Crimea is ‘Russian security.’” Russia predictably using this as cover. Putin is pleased.

The long-serving Catholic archbishop for pastoral care of all US military branches says troops can refuse orders to take Greenland by force as there aren’t circumstances where this would be a “just war”: aleteia.org/2026/01/19/u...

Blanche won’t investigate the killing of an innocent woman on camera but they’ve got all hands on deck for a church service being interrupted

NOEM: “We can’t trust the government anymore.” BASH: “You are the government.” NOEM: “Yes, that’s what I’m saying.”🤔 The only honest thing @KristiNoem said today

They had a simple tactic and it worked. They bred much more prolifically and have won as a result. This is a sad way for democracy to die.

Federal immigration officers shot and wounded two people in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday, authorities said.

Treading on brown people. Racial profiling is all they do.

This year’s Presidential Christmas card.

Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.

That’s the problem with social media. When i was young, we knew our village idiot was a loudmouth arsehole-who we ignored. Alas,Meta & X deliberately get village idiots together & feed them shit 24x7 Result: a village idiot has the same authority as a PhD in a subject, & GETS LIKES for it? WTF

Here's one of two videos taken of the UPS plane crash aftermath from Sabit Aliyev, the owner of Kentucky Truck Parts and Services on an adjacent property.

Yes, I have. ✅

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Could not be any truer!!!

I’m going to be honest, it feels pretty impossible lately to reconcile what I’m teaching in my climate change course with the configuration of my (and everyone’s) life. I just want a buddy for a three degree world

For the record, Melissa's main targets of Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba, and the Bahamas account for, respectively, 0.016%, 0.0089%, 0.064%, and 0.0038% of the global annual total of CO2 emissions.

I feel so frustrated right now, my head is about to explode. Don’t forget about 1 million a day for National Guard to patrol cities like Portland, LA, Memphis, DC, Baltimore and New Orleans. But sorry no money for the poor working class.

It’s more than just bad priorities. It’s about lack of basic decency.

Every day is a great day to: Be kind Listen Share some food with a hungry person Love our neighbors through our actions Be the change

Science isn’t static. Our last Ode to #NationalFoodDay is a great example of this. We used to tell parents to avoid peanuts. Then new research showed early exposure prevents allergy, which has likely saved thousands of kids from developing peanut allergies. 🥜💡 www.npr.org/2025/10/21/n...

Updating my LEGO White House

Seriously considering putting this up as a scary Halloween decoration in our very right-wing neighborhood.

🧵1/3 During the Friday night RIF massacre, CDC’s ethics department was eliminated. Yes — the office that makes sure CDC employees don’t abuse their federal privileges.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.
