This is absolutely brutal

Had my first bike commute this week since congestion pricing went into effect and the improvement is *insane*. Totally transformative.

Here comes the arrests of journalists now.

"They want obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay the longer hours the reduced benefits the end of overtime and the vanishing pension" ~George Carlin

Thank you to everyone who showed up, good news, the judge has been released!

Lots of people I know that were furious about kids having to wear masks are real quiet about a two year old citizen being wrongfully deported

The Attorney General is so unserious. If you’re a prosecutor who is serious about obtaining a conviction, you don’t go on Fox and talk about the (alleged) facts of the case like this. Has Bondi read the Justice Manual? Has Bondi heard of pretrial publicity motions? How about bar ethics rules?

•••INJUNCTION ALERT••• U.S. District Judge William Orrick has blocked the Trump regime’s attempts to withhold federal funding from more than a dozen “sanctuary” jurisdictions. These are municipalities that have refused to cooperate with the Trump regime’s hardline — typically illegal — mass…

NEW: Harvard Faculty of Arts & Sciences announces pay freeze through 2025-26 academic year as well as "pausing all non-essential capital projects and spending" to conserve resources for lengthy legal battle.

JUST IN: The ACLU has added Andry Hernandez Romero, the openly gay barber/makeup artist, as lead plaintiff in its D.C.-based class action against the Alien Enemies Act. They say the US has "constructive custody" over those held in El Salvador. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Everyone, hide the ketchup…👇 It’s going to get messy.

Happy birthday to the Hubble Space Telescope, launched from the Kennedy Space Center #OTD in 1990. Here's to a remarkable 35 years of imaging the Cosmos. 🧪 🔭 ⚛️ Leave your favorite Hubble images in the replies!

However bad they tell us it is…it’s far worse than that. Men who refuse to show a badge or identify themselves are whisking people away in vans.

A charity tied to Gov. Ron DeSantis’s wife, Casey DeSantis, gave $10 million to nonprofit political committees that helped the governor defeat a ballot measure.

Dear #GOP You are running out of time to decide if you take him down or he is the concrete shoes that drown you. Thanks, Sane America

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Harvard scientist Kseniia Petrova has been in ICE custody for about two months. Her colleague and friend Leon Peshkin says her case is causing some scientists to reconsider working in the U.S.

Never.

Newsom: In 2023, Californians contributed $83.1 billion more to the federal government than we received back. And for your viewers: that other state—Texas—took $71.1 billion more than it contributed to the federal government. California: $83 billion, contributor. Texas: taker.

They better be careful what they ask for

I want politics to be about a better everyday life. Here's what that can look like:

He’s so good at this.

It’s time for accountability. When we get back to Congress next week, articles of impeachment need to be filed against Pete Hegseth.

When the moment came, Harvard didn’t hedge or flinch—it stood up. A reminder that integrity isn’t complicated, it’s just rare.

The thing is….pictures like this one existed decades ago. You’re telling me the FBI didn’t know about this activity? Yeah. Bullshit. People not only gave him a pass, but they concealed what they knew.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

Hi, I'm God. Human beings should not be thrown into prisons without due process. Even Jesus got a hearing.

Remember this. Organise. Unite. Fight. TOGETHER WE WIN !

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From Adam Zygus)

This is so alarming.

👏👏

Mediaite is reporting that Marjorie Taylor Greene is considering running for a Senate seat in Georgia. Shut. Her. Down. Georgia!

The "special government employee" role Elon Musk has been abusing should be ELIMINATED. NO ONE should be able to spend 130 days/year in the government with ZERO ethics oversight, ZERO review of conflicts of interest, ZERO divestment of financial interests END THE CORRUPTION

In case you hadn't noticed:

An autism "registry" culled from private medical records could potentially violate federal privacy laws and runs the risk of abuse. It also harkens back to a time when disabled people were labeled, segregated, and excluded. We won't go back.

THIS IS WILD‼️ Florida got $67M from a Medicaid fraud settlement. Instead of using it for actual health care, Casey DeSantis funneled $10M to a “charity” she controls. That “charity” passed it to anti-abortion and anti-marijuana groups—who then helped fund GOP campaigns. Both measures lost!

Walz: Here in Minnesota, freedom means several things. It means freedom from hunger and poverty. That means freedom to worship or not. It means the freedom to be who you are anyway you choose, and that is a birthright..

A record high of 53% of Americans say their financial situation is worsening, according to a new Gallup Poll. That's the highest percentage since Gallup began tracking this statistic.

god this shit is blood boiling

💥 BREAKING: Levi Strauss shareholders voted today to reject a proposal calling on the company to cease / abolish all DEI efforts (tally TBD). LEVI Board: “Diversity and inclusion principles are critical in ensuring that our products reflect and are relevant to our diverse global consumer base.”

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️. Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

We'll be covering this on the show tonight.

Today is Day 12. Still 0 deals.
