I pray this helps some of you today. We have a duty to Dr. King whose life was taken because he dared demand that this country face itself, to demonstrate that his work & sacrifice was not in vain. Let’s do it together. Please share. And subscribe. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

And there it is. Scam and grift revealed. Watch who gets rich off this. Interested also to see how legacy media covers this, which has been putrid so far.

The Jumbotrons were taken down. Because of the cold. Really.

We heard you like video

A confession?

We live in a post-shame world.

oh wow, a guy whose main skill is ingratiating himself with influential people is urging those influential people to go along to get along

Vivek Ramaswamy is reportedly out at the DOGE committee as he has worn out his welcome with Elon Musk and others in Trump world. www.cbsnews.com/news/vivek-r...

Rampell on Trump coin: If you're the Saudi government, you no longer need to pretend to stay at a Trump hotel in order to give money to Donald Trump.

"[Elon] knows those computers better than anybody. Those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. IS THAT A FUCKING CONFESSION??? h/t: @acyn.bsky.social

Vivek's involvement with DOGE lasted negative Scaramuccis

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

We sit at the bedside of America, knowing in a few hours she draws her final breath. Many of us worked to prevent this. But we have failed, so we must learn how to survive in the oligarchy that is coming, and we must pass on to the next generations what we know America could be.

L.A. fires: Will Trump immigration crackdown slow rebuilding? t.co/BFDVc7MgZg?s...

Absolutely.

It’s not about Trump supporters. It’s about giving the 75m people who DIDNT VOTE something to vote for Legitimate discussions on this platform offer that path

If youre more upset that TikTok went dark instead of millions of people voting our democracy away to a felon/rapist/traitor, you need to reschuffle your priorities

so the far right will own X, facebook, instagram, threads, and tiktok. and we’ll STILL have to hear how oppressed and censored they are.

It’s 25 degrees in Kansas City where the Chiefs and Texans are playing for a full stadium. Guess it’s only dangerous when it’s an inauguration.

Trump gets in bed with the Chinese owners, and suddenly Tik Tok isn’t “evil CCP compromised” anymore. These people believe in nothing. What Trump decides today is what they believe in today. Which changes tomorrow if Trump makes a deal with someone else to enrich himself.

Listen up.

Folks forgot about this with all the focus on TikTok, but Meta/Facebook was selling your data to China for years. And do you really think they were the only ones?

Jan 20, 1961. A blizzard the day before. Temperatures well below freezing. Without a coat or hat, JFK gave a speech we still quote today. Robert Frost, 86, recited a poem. Steinbeck and Hemingway and Rothko were among the VIPs. A million people gathered in the cold to hear it. This is the precedent.

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?

Anti-abortion advocates are running ads to find & encourage men to betray and sue their partners. This makes me sick. wapo.st/40nfmD2

🚨BREAKING: Supreme Court upholds law effectively banning TikTok in the United States starting this Sunday. Court finds it does not violate First Amendment.

All this craven ass-kissing in corporate media for someone who's perhaps the least popular and most divisive president in modern history. Their coverage -- presenting Trump as an unstoppable force riding a huge mandate -- is just bizarre. Almost seems like they're trying to convince themselves.

New Marist poll: Trump starts with a net-negative favorability rating, 44% favorable, 49% unfavorable. This destroys the idea Trump has a mandate. Wish Democratic leaders would see these polls and realize Trump is not popular. Stop talking common ground and start fighting!

WOW. Allies of GOP Rep. Mike Turner, who was removed by Mike Johnson as chair of the House Intelligence Committee, told Fox News that Turner is furious and he’s “never going to vote for another blanking thing around here again.” Turner has missed all House votes in the last 48 hours.
