Meanwhile, in a real democracy, a renegade president is under arrest and the process of removing him from office is underway. Maybe someone should go and take notes or something. apnews.com/article/sout...

Laverne Cox is not only not wrong, but she nailed it on every count. Watch.👀

Bring it! 🔥🔥🔥 Rep. Stacey Plaskett reads aloud from the bible to her GOP counterparts as they plow through their tax grift.

"Limiting our access to the Oval Office based on the content of AP's speech not only severely impedes the public's access to independent news, it plainly violates the First Amendment," Associated Press Executive Editor Julie Pace said. https://buff.ly/4gERErM

Pope Francis decries Trump’s immigration policies in letter to U.S. bishops, saying mass deporting people fleeing danger “damages the dignity of many men and women, and of entire families, and places them in a state of particular vulnerability and defenselessness.” press.vatican.va/content/sala...

Then and Now #NoH8 #WeAreAllImmigrants

Trump is not going to leave in 4 years. People should accept this. He's telling you again and again.

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them. Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is. Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

A federal judge has temporarily blocked TFG's EO that would end birthright citizenship. As I've said before this is a case that will 💯 end up before the Supreme Court, and it will be the ultimate decision as to whether the Constitution is still the law of this land.

Trump claims that disaster aid for North Carolina and California will go through his administration instead of FEMA

🤣 gotta love a good chess joke!

One headline to rule them all

President Trump issued sweeping pardons for nearly all Jan. 6 defendants, erasing accountability for those who violently tried to stop the certification of the 2020 presidential election results on that date in 2021 via @ashleymurray.bsky.social

Today, President Trump rescinded Executive Order 14087 signed by former President Biden in October 2022. What did Executive Order 14087 do? It lowered drug costs for Americans on Medicare and Medicaid—working class Americans. This only benefits big pharma.

BREAKING As expected, President Trump just signed an executive order withdrawing the United States from the World Health Organization. The United States provides around 16% of WHO’s annual budget…over $200 million.

BREAKING: Democracy.

The US Senate passes the Laken Riley Act. 64-35, with 12 Dems voting “yes”

The Trump administration has shut down CBP One, a border app that allowed migrants to legally enter the US. Follow live updates.

Hours before his four-year term ended, President Joe Biden issued preemptive pardons early Monday to several officials and lawmakers who have been the target of incoming President-elect Donald Trump’s threats of retaliation.

BREAKING: Biden has pardoned his family www.justice.gov/pardon/media...

In the final hours of his presidency, Biden pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley and members of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

Here’s what to do if ICE stops you or comes to your home or workplace: ✅ Show your red card ✅ Say nothing ✅ Sign nothing ✅ Do nothing With mass deportations underway, it’s important to protect yourself. They offer FREE Know Your Rights cards (also known as Red Cards) on akpokulaw.com

The Laken Riley Act allows MAGA to indefinitely detain people in federal prisons w/o trials. Our leaders must block this blatant attempt to advance the MAGA agenda of peddling fear, sowing hatred, and grabbing power. Call your reps (script below) and demand they vote no. Vote will be on Tuesday.

ICE is planning immigration raids starting Tuesday. Please amplify.

I hope this helps clear up what just happened. It is short, free, and sourced.

🚨 BREAKING: Donald Trump plans to sign an executive order declaring a national emergency at the US-Mexico border, effectively stopping all Central American refugees from finding safety here. It’s immoral, cruel, and probably illegal. And Democrats in Congress must push back as hard as possible.

Tomorrow will be Jan 6 pardons for Trump’s militia and executive orders that will impose the biggest government Americans have ever lived under. Government gets bigger when you consolidate power within one man, not smaller. We’ll help you get through it 👇 thecycle.substack.com

I'm told TikTok's host (Oracle) and CDN (Akamai) brought it back online today because Trump assured them they'd not be subject to penalties - something he can't entirely promise. Whatever one's feelings on the ban's merit, they're defying federal law based on a not-yet-president's word. Huge gamble
