Want to do something? Sunlight is the best disinfectant. If you have stories or better yet images of the Trump regime taking away immigrants, please share them on your social media. Let us all be witnesses.

“In a raid of a business establishment in Newark, outside New York City, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents failed to produce a warrant as they detained "undocumented residents as well as citizens," Baraka said in a statement.” www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Apparently Trump directly threatened Denmark on his first phone call the other day with their Prime Minister. The "conversation" has set off major alarm bells in Copenhagen and other NATO capitals. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Jan 20 is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and I will observe his impactful work. He is a real man to be honored, celebrated, and remembered.

I hate this timeline!!!

Trump had nothing to do with the #Ceasefire. If anything he delayed it. He didn’t even think there were any hostages alive, nor did he care. He will likely gut the State department. Any report that claims he was integral is blind to his apathy. Netanyahu name checked him for collateral, that’s all.

1/ Breaking: South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been formally detained after a Seoul court approved full detention warrant, marking an unprecedented moment in the country's history. The decision came at 3am after a 5-hour court hearing. www.news1.kr/society/cour...

How to Protest Safely As An Immigrant ⬇️

we can feel shame and can feel we can shame others -we can fear being ourselves from fear of harm from others -the more we support rather than shame the more people will be supported. we All deserve full autonomy of body & mind -& we All deserve a home & food & 2 be healthy✌️ human responsibly. 👍❤️

This. (Except the revenge on the nerds line at the end - no shade to fellow nerds)

genuinely remarkable polling result given how much the media has been promoting him and pushing the idea that he is popular and has a mandate to govern. trump enters office as an unpopular lame duck

**URGENT CALL TO ACTION** 📢 Pete Hegseth is not qualified and too extreme to lead America's military. Please take 1 (one) minute and send a message to your Senator to Vote NO on Hegseth. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell... or tinyurl.com/NoOnHegseth #NoonHegseth

Bernie: “Are you in favor of raising the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour?” Bessent: “No.” F#@k these mfers! MAGA Republicans suck … They are literally the worst kind of human. #resist #standup #callitout #maga #gop #politics #injustice youtu.be/BT-CSaITzhs?...

Less than six months ago Trump was posting this about Gates:

Watch it again. The law does not require that TikTok “go dark.” It prevents third party carriers from distributing it. So *the law* does not make the app “disappear” from phones that already have it. TikTok knows this, so they are intentionally depriving their own customers to create backlash

#Kyiv #russiaIsaTERRORISTstate👿😡 They are the worst garbage that ever came from the human gene pool‼️

2009 Obama 28°F 1977 Carter 28°F 1961 Kennedy 22°F It’s not about the cold… it’s about the small crowd size.

So just to be clear these Paramount Executives are discussing paying money to the incoming president of the united states with the specific intention of influencing an official action of the government?

#ResistanceEarth #Voices4Victory Iowa wants to remove the term "climate change" from school curricula. By Repub magical thinking standards, if you don't say the words it doesn't exist. They also want to ensure Iowa students are unprepared for higher education. www.kcrg.com/2025/01/15/i...

There it is. Trump’s Treasury nominee just said “extending” Trump’s tax handouts for billionaires is their TOP priority: “This is the single most important economic issue of the day.”

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

Four years ago, we stood in a winter of peril and a winter of possibilities. We were in the grip of the worst pandemic in a century, the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, and the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War. www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-roo...

"It struck me that America’s president was making the point that he’s not really transferring power to Donald Trump and his henchmen, but rather to you, me and everyone who cares about democracy and truly loves their country." www.americaamerica.news/p/snapshot-j...

The history of failed nominations reminds us just how far some of the Cabinet nominees fall below any reasonable standard. The Senate has a constitutional role, and in the past has exercised it. snyder.substack.com/p/rejected-c...

The reign of Republican terror descends upon the nation. 'A federal judge has allowed Missouri, Kansas, and Idaho to proceed with their lawsuit against mifepristone.'

Turnip, Mike Johnson, and other MAGAs are scum for disrespecting Former President Jimmy Carter like this! 🤬

And right on cue... "Federal judge allows red states to resume lawsuit against mifepristone" ground.news/article/with...

A President with absolute immunity to commit crimes and an Attorney General who can't say no. What could possibly go wrong?

It shouldn't be difficult to commit to preserving the evidence from the Special Counsel’s January 6th investigation. And yet...

Gov. Bill Lee’s private school voucher scam is an all-out assault on public education. Now, he wants to bankroll his scam by stealing millions from the HOPE Scholarship fund, which helps students afford college. This is theft, plain and simple. www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

Hey journalists, if you have not already done so, now is the time to file a FOIA request for Mar-a-Lago report so that it can’t be destroyed by new DOJ leaders when they take over. If (when?) dismissal or pardons of co-Ds occur, there will be no legal basis for refusing to comply.

An FTC report (under chair Lina Khan, who Elon hates and who Trump will replace) finds United Health has been overcharging cancer patients an obscene amount and PBM’s have been pocketing extra billions. No wonder they hate her. fortune.com/2025/01/15/f...

Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. Bertrand Russell

The women we love, our mothers, sisters, wives, friends. We have to KEEP fighting to codify Roe. Our kids in schools don't deserve active shooter drills. Keeping health care affordable. We can't let these issues become an after thought. We have to keep fighting. No matter what. Love most of y'all. 🫶🏽

Sen. Hirono asked Hegseth about his vows to not drink if named Secretary of Defense. He said "Absolutely" She asked if he would resign if he resumed drinking. He did not answer. What I find disturbing? He did not just say, "I am clean and sober since.." and give a date.

Russia: Putin's regime raided the Prince Plaza shopping center in Moscow to collect more cannon fodder on January 14th. They are usually foreign workers from former occupied Soviet republics.

The millennial experience is growing up with the internet, and watching it go from a free, open, democratic, and eclectic ecosystem to a wasteland of five websites controlled by billionaires, and now seeing it quickly fill up with AI-generated slop. I want our World Wide Web back.
