THIS 👇 TOO......

In case you forgot what a U.S. president beloved by the world looks like. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 Live in Manchester: An Evening with President Barack Obama. The arena holds up to 23,500 people with standing room, and the event was SOLD OUT.

Dear Trump voters, You wanted mass deportations. Well, hundreds of thousands of people have been deported. NOW WHAT? • Did you get that job they supposedly took from you? • Did grocery prices drop? • Is rent cheaper? • Did your health insurance premiums drop? #TrumpsAbuseOfPower 🧵

Today, 8 years ago, my friend, Saudi Journalist and Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered.

NEW: After we published an investigation into Brown Brothers Media, a company that buys struggling news sites and turns them into AI-powered content mills, we got a tip that completely gobsmacked me: one of the brothers has extensive connections to Ghislaine Maxwell futurism.com/artificial-i...

Isn't it nice when there's something we can ALL agree on? #ReleaseTheUnredactedEPSTEIN-Files

Why aren’t we here is the USA hearing more calls for EV fast charging infrastructure and subsidies for electric heavy trucks & battery technology?!?! It’s far past the time to break the shackles of oil reliance.

Apparently it is of no concern to any Republicans that Trump and Bessent are taking in billions of dollars from plundered Venezuelan oil and nobody knows where the money is, where is has been going, if anyone is getting proceeds, with no accounting of any of it made available.

🚨 BEWARE of VoteSafe.org 🚨 While it bills itself as a “safe” way to register to vote, it is actually a digital surveillance machine created by Elon Musk’s super PAC.

A private developer wants the federal government to hand over a piece of Yosemite National Park for a private road to his own land, with a possible housing development and resort behind it. Call and say "NO" -- Dept of Interior (202) 208-3100 or write to 1849 C Street N.W., Washington, DC 20240.

4 days ago The Pentagon fired the editor in chief of Stars and Stripes. Yesterday they broke the story of Elsie Dominguez, a civilian engineer who was raped repeatedly by the Captain of a Navy ship she was on. They keep trying to silence the press & quash the truth. Elsie’s story must be told:

We need EVERYONE to call Trump out for what he is: A FU*KIN’ COWARD HIDING IN A CATERING TRUCK WHILE INNOCENT CIVILIAN’s LIVES ARE RISKED IN HIS PLACE!!

‘I’m Done, I’m Not in That F*cking Political Party’: James Carville Freaks Out After Progressives Win Big in Democratic Primaries

📌The Democrats rigged the election so they would lose the House, the Senate, and the Executive in 2024. All this Republican "rigged" shit needs to be stopped dead in its tracks. It's disgusting, anti-American, and dangerous as hell.

Mamdani erasing back rent owed for over 5000 tenants - saving them millions of dollars Showing how to use city power to force corporate landlords to fix unsafe apartments and end exploitative conditions gothamist.com/news/landlor...

I’m shocked this is the end result of all the hype.

That's all.

Trump has never made anyone a better person; he has only given bad people permission to show how bad they are.

I realize this is obvious to most but allow me to rant: At the core of Trump's base love for him is a simmering resentment over their mediocrity and gratitude for him making it permissible to be arrogant whilst mediocre. Everything in this cult can be traced back to that. (thread)

SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2 www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

You know what would be amazing, if Vance can negotiate an agreement where Iran doesn't enrich above 3.67% (far below weapons grade); gets rid of 98% of its stockpile of uranium; has weekly inspections by the IAEA; and commits to all of this for at 10 years. Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

Congressman Ro Khanna speaks my language. “The base wants fighters!”🔥

De Niro: It doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat, a Republican, or an Independent—no one, no one voted for new wars. No one voted for higher prices at the pump. No one voted for higher prices in grocery stores, and no one voted for government-masked thugs shooting down our citizens in the streets.

Too much to keep track of, but don't sleep on AG Bondi's new proposed rule that would let DOJ lawyers avoid key ethics checks that prohibit lying to court. Ratcheting up the assault on courts & the reality-based world at the same time. Mine in today's NYT. (Gift Link)

Pauli Murray was one of the greatest legal minds of the 20th century. As a member of the ACLU board of directors starting in 1965, Murray played a key role in turning our organization’s attention to gender inequality. We honor them this Women's History Month.

2 years from now, 5 years from now, 10 years from now, and 20 years from now, Americans are going to be subject to attacks here and all over the world because of what Trump is doing right now.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

JUST IN: Trump DOJ proposes surprise rule aiming to let Attorney General Pam Bondi suspend state bar investigations into alleged misconduct by DOJ lawyers. Very unclear if there'd be legal authority for the AG to intervene in this manner. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

I'm absolutely gobsmacked. They Poisoned the World is shortlisted for the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize, awarded to a work of narrative nonfiction that "exemplifies the literary grace and commitment to serious research and social concern." #PFAS @crownpublishing.bsky.social

Friends, that was NOT Liam Ramos at the Super Bowl halftime show. Folks need to stop spreading that false information. That said, the symbolism was clear 🙏🏽

Perfect

🚨TONIGHT’S PROTEST IN MINNEAPOLIS IS INSANE: CNN is STUNNED. Share this widely! “I've covered many protests… I've not seen a crowd like this before.” It’s 8 degrees. “It is freezing, but nothing, nothing is stopping these people.” This isn’t a rally. It’s a movement. @calltoactivism.bsky.social

Leon Black and Leslie Wexner are still alive. They still haven't answered why they gave Epstein hundreds of millions of dollars for "consultation" and advice.

The new Epstein files production features numerous allegations made against Donald Trump and others.

*Many in the media have proclaimed a significant change of tone for Trump, if not a major defeat, but on the ground in Minneapolis ICE kidnappers are still on the rampage* by @ryanlcooper.com January 29, 2026 prospect.org/2026/01/29/i...

After the killing of Alex Pretti by CBP agents, Chuck Schumer announced "Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included." Now we must ensure Democrats hold the line to block more funding for ICE and CBP. You know what to do. 👇

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Bondi's letter—essentially offering to stop attacking and murdering citizens in Minnesota in exchange for the state's voter rolls—shows what Trump, Miller et al. are really after: They want to fuck with the nation's elections so that they never have to cede power or answer for their crimes.

You can call it an “execution” if you want to, but let’s be clear on this… Murder is a crime and is prosecutable. Execution is a legal punishment carried out by the state after due process. There is no due process yesterday.

BARTIROMO: There is outrage across the country that there is another killing. Someone is dead at the hands of Border Patrol. What can you tell us? KASH PATEL: You do not get to attack law enforcement officials in this country without any repercussions. We not messing around.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Like I said.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few. Democrats must remember this — and act on it.

HALLELUJAH!! Their attempt to brainwash the country into a Christofascist cult is backfiring. ‘The U.S. is undergoing its fastest religious shift in modern history, marked by a rapid increase in the religiously unaffiliated and numerous church closures nationwide.’ www.axios.com/2025/12/26/g...

Burnout is not a personal failure. It is the result of an economic system that steals time, daylight and energy from our lives. Light is a public good. Time should not be a privilege. A society that denies people light cannot be surprised when they struggle to heal. youtu.be/AMvXkcC6doc?...

Agree 100% with this.
