What the world needs now: this generation’s Voltaire. “Anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” (Note this is actually an English translation and accurate paraphrase of Voltaire’s passage in ‘Questions sur les miracles’ (1765). youtube.com/watch?v=ryAI...

youtube.com/watch?v=VSv7... Reminder: cops are NOT friends. Per Jordan v. City of New London, PDs deliberately hire stupid people, too stupid to distinguish intoxication from stroke.

Cops are not your friends, part 1,525,768: Note the contempt and condescension with which they treat an elderly dementia sufferer, who broke no laws, and never resisted. Oh yeah - the cops beat him up, too. youtube.com/watch?v=7PgR...

Once again, for the people in back: police are NOT your friends. Cops encounter a man having a seizure, so they taze him and charge him with resisting (among other crimes). youtube.com/watch?v=Q_i4...

Sign the petition, and hopefully get a dirty cop fired. chng.it/DFyGYvVR68

PSA: Remember- police are NOT your friends. youtube.com/watch?v=bM2T...

If you aren’t familiar with Politics Girl, get familiar. It’s gonna be a long four years, and we’re going to have a lot of rubble to sift through when it’s all said and done. youtube.com/shorts/P2HWt...

Yeah… what she says. youtube.com/watch?v=fvmc...

You owe it to yourself to watch this documentary about one of the few holocaust survivors still with us. youtube.com/watch?v=Pt7s...

Thanks to George Conway for posting Caroline Kennedy’s letter to Senators setting the truth about her cousin RFK jr Straight He is truly unqualified in every way possible.

Reports of ICE harassing even indigenous people are an extra layer of disturbing that I didn't forsee. But here's what should happen! Please share #laloalcaraz cartoons

It took all of *one week* before top Republican donors pivoted to the real prize of Trump’s election: the prospect of extending Trump’s tax breaks for the ultrawealthy. It was never about lowering prices. It was always about lining the pockets of Trump’s donors.

money meet mouth. (lutnick's confirmation hearing is tomorrow/wednesday). www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This. All day this.

A huge thanks to Jesse for having me on to discuss Lindsey Graham‘s feckless and cowardly reaction to Trump’s blatant criminality since taking office! @dollemore.com youtu.be/Gh-t7gU0dOE?...

I'm going to continue to call it the Gulf of Mexico, because it annoys a certain petty twit. freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2...

I was on WIC when I left my abusive husband with a toddler in tow. I think it's super important to highlight that their are real people behind these acronyms. This will hurt so many families.

If I’ve been particularly testy online lately, SCIENCE would like you to know that it’s not my fault 🧪 skepchick.org/2025/01/stud...

Literally happening as we speak

The man in the White House is a psychopath. freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2...

Look at these DEI hires. freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2...

Fascists claim weird adults are stalking kids & sexualizing them for a political agenda which is why Trump DOJ dropped case against doc charged w/ lying to get kids’ med records & leak them to Rufo to publish, proving once again that 2+2=5. www.texastribune.org/2025/01/24/t...

The inimitable Jesse Dollemore unloads on “Dr.” Phil. youtube.com/watch?v=SJYF...

"Vice President Harris never called a little girl cute or commented on her outfit; instead, she'd say, 'You look like the smartest person in your class.' The vice president would say, 'Let me hear you say, 'I am a leader,'' and even the youngest girls would say it back." slate.com/news-and-pol...

We’re going to have to have each other’s backs during Trump 2.0. MAGA is gonna wear it proud.

But wait… weren’t grocery prices going down on day 1? And pandemics? They’re made up conspiracies from China, right? Isn’t that what Tiny Hands said? Right? youtube.com/post/UgkxPEM...

Robert Reich points out that the MAGAts are oligarchs in peasant clothing. I think we’re entitled to an “I told you so”, but that just seems inadequate. youtube.com/watch?v=4wh8...

So, like most people, I love bacon bits. Unlike most people, I make my own. It’s a lot of work and time, but the results are worth it. I especially love them on my homemade potato soup. OTOH, this is what you can get from nearly three pounds (44 oz, to be precise) of bacon - 10.7 ounces

Send this to the people who told you it won't be so bad

Reminder: -Cops are NOT your friend -Invoke your right to remain silent -Deny permission for searches and seizures -Demand a lawyer -Most importantly, STFU! youtube.com/watch?v=Iwxu...

All I do is spit facts.

Remember: the MAGAts voted for ghis. youtube.com/watch?v=0QHT... #FAFO

Rod serling called it, more than 60 years ago. youtube.com/watch?v=05La...

To be absolutely clear, this is a Nazi salute. Elon knows it’s a Nazi salute. All of the MAGAverse knows it’s a Nazi salute. They’re pretending it’s something it’s not, so they too can do it without consequences. youtube.com/shorts/7l1OJ...

And so it begins. People are “snitching” (i.e. siccing ICE on anyone who is brown or multilingual) on their own communities. We will likely see our own modern-day Kristallnacht before the year is out. youtube.com/watch?v=vujy...

That about sums up current U.S. politics. youtube.com/post/UgkxiH3...
