Terrified Conservatives Lose Ability To Speak English After Exposure To Bad Bunny Performance https://theonion.com/terrified-conservatives-lose-ability-to-speak-english-after-exposure-to-bad-bunny-performance-dios-mio-cry-millions-of-panicking-republicans/

Hind Rajab’s memory will live forever—just as the spirit of Palestine will never be extinguished.

Never forget this: The forces undermining our democracy, rigging our economy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. We must keep fighting in 2026 and beyond.

Those observing Christmas are celebrating a family of asylum seekers. If there is indeed a "War on Christmas," it's being waged by those trying to make our country less safe for the poor, for the marginalized, and for refugees.

Hamas has put in writing they are ready to submit to any decision made by ICC. Israel is instead blocking ICC investigation, blocking UN from investigating rape claims, & blocking all media. Corporate media is silent on this development. This is indefensible. 2/3

Manufacturing culture wars allows Republicans to sound faux populist without having to address the practical problems faced by most Americans — lack of paid sick leave, unaffordable child care and elder care, stagnant wages, and inadequate housing. Don’t fall for it.

I'm an "A.i." abolitionist. Here's why. gregpak.net/2025/12/19/i...

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.” Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

Reminder: It's never too late to start wearing a mask again

To make common cause with this Administration is to support an affirmatively white supremacist vision of this country. Period. Every corporation. Every Republican. Every influencer. Every Governor. Every evangelical leader. Every voter. Yes. Every voter.

"Not since the UN partitioned Palestine in 1947 against the will of the indigenous people, setting the stage for 80 years of Nakba, has the UN acted in such a baldly colonial way, and trampled so recklessly on the rights of a people." Cartoon by Carlos Latuff.

Including @marilynstrickland.bsky.social What a disgrace. Vote to represent your constituents!

The New York Times' story about Trump calling for the execution of members of Congress ran on Page 16 today, with an itty-bitty promo on the front about halfway down the page. No wonder Trump thinks he can get away with anything.

Keep this story in the news. "Man Detained by ICE Found Dead, Hanging With Hands and Feet Tied—Attorney" www.newsweek.com/ice-detainee...

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

BREAKING: Resident of Washington state dies after being infected with H5N5 bird flu A Grays Harbor County resident receiving treatment for H5N5 avian flu has died. The Washington State Department of Health extends its condolences to the family.

🤬 How Are Democrats This Dumb!? @petertwinklage.bsky.social is back with today's 'First Draft' on liberals fumbling what should have been their best week of the Trump era, calls for “hooligan Halligan” to be disbarred, and Nicki Minaj addressing the United Nations? zeteo.com/p/how-are-de...

This is from August.

Below I provide the names, phone numbers, & a sample script to call these 8 Senate democrats who folded to Trump, & demand they reverse course and side with the American people. 81% of Dem voters want Senate Dems to stand firm. Let's make sure the Senate listens. www.qasimrashid.com/p/8-senate-d...

When the illness itself is minimised, the treatments will be too. If you don’t grasp the biological seriousness of LC, you’ll keep testing low-impact fixes like brain games - and keep failing patients.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Vote out Schumer, Gillibrand, and every Establishment Corporate funded Democrat. They've failed us repeatedly and have no idea how to lead. The Democratic Party will either die or transform into new leadership. It cannot survive in its current state.

Tonight was a very bad night.

Flood their phones. Send emails. VOTE THEM OUT.

This is terrible.

Snapshot of tonight: •Mamdani wins NYC Mayor •CA passes Prop 50 Redistricting •Maine votes NO on voter ID laws, YES on red flag laws •VA Dems Sweep statewides & pick up 10+ seats in House •Cincy reelects Mayor Pureval, beats JD Vance’s brother 78-21 Embrace victory tonight. Get to work tomorrow.❤️✊🏽

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC. It didn't matter. Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

Week 6 of the shutdown and we want solutions – not images of Trump's Halloween party or an empty House chamber.   People are missing paychecks, losing healthcare, and struggling to feed their families.   It's time Republicans get back to Washington and do their jobs.

Millions of Americans are seeing their health care premiums double—or worse—and Republican leaders are STILL refusing to act. Democrats will not let Republicans ignore this health care crisis.

Trump’s flawed ceasefire plan has opened a door for Democrats to amend their shameful failure to end the Gaza genocide. But it requires doing something few Democrats have been willing to do: support Palestinian rights. mondoweiss.net/2025/10/demo...

This could have been prevented. @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @marilynstrickland.bsky.social YouTube should have done so much more. You should have had principles and listened to your constituents.

☎️Take a few minutes today to call your reps and senators. They need to hear from us, especially from federal workers. Tell them to hold the line, to not let our trauma and suffering be in vain. Force republicans to the negotiating table and remind Trump he does not yet own us all. 5calls.org

House Republicans haven't shown up to work in 18 days. But if they do decide to show up—I have a message for them. 3/4s of the families that rely on the expiring health care credits that you refuse to acknowledge live in red states. Time to show up and do your jobs.

The government has effectively been shut down for months as Trump has destroyed checks and balances, usurped the power of the purse from Congress, and unleashed an authoritarian nightmare throughout the country. Why would any Democrat vote for any continuing resolution that allows this to continue?

MAGA Pushes Altered Image Removing “Trump 2020” From Michigan Church Shooter’s Shirt The fake posts have generated millions of views meidasnews.com/news/maga-pu...

Never has a group developed so complete a hearing problem as Republicans confronted with actual words that Trump has said over the last decade.

As the government shutdown begins, remember that one of the biggest deficit drivers of the past 20 years are Republican tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations. The issue isn't programs that help millions of Americans, it's giveaways to the rich.

At least 61 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza as a flotilla of more than 50 ships carrying aid approach.

Q: When he tried to hand you that Trump 2028 hat, what was your reaction? JEFFRIES: They just randomly appeared in the middle of the meeting on the desk. It was the strangest thing ever. I just looked at the hat, looked at JD Vance & said, 'Don't you got a problem with this?' He said, 'No comment.'
