It is a profound irony when the nation under attack feels more empathy for the attacker's citizens than the attacking government itself.

Because it bears repeating over and over again, a criminal pedophile and his depraved rabid acolytes started a brutal war with Iran because he wanted to distract away from highly credible allegations in the Epstein Files of him raping children. Never let it be forgotten.

Transgender adults in Kansas have received letters ordering them to surrender their drivers licenses until they obtain a new one with a marker reflecting their sex assigned at birth. Their current licenses are now invalid. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

Claim: “We have 4 million less people on food stamps.” Reality:❌This Administration made the largest cuts to SNAP (food assistance) in the country. 13.7% of Americans are struggling with food insecurity as of 2026. The highest rate since 2014.

AOC: They need 10 Democratic votes in the Senate to pass, continued unfettered ICE funding with no guardrails. Regardless of where you are in the Democratic party, this moment proves that the status quo cannot stand I would implore my Democratic colleagues in the senate to vote no

i’d like to think i’m this good of a person but in reality i’d probably be all “tell kristi, i want her to know it was me”

Who in their right mind believes statements from the Department of Homeland Security? Who believes anything Kristi Noem or Stephen Miller or Trump might say about what has just happened in Minneapolis? They no longer have any credibility. That should be clear by now. They lie like they breathe.

The unc who went viral a few weeks ago protesting in MN is back: "5 shots they put into that man's body. How do you look me in the eye and tell me you can justify this? I'm a veteran. I swore an oath back in 1969 to protect this country against all enemies foreign and domestic. This is unbelievable"

ICE has now killed a white man and white woman. Both citizens. It isn't just immigrants, brown folks, Black folks, pro Palestinian activists and Muslims. If this doesn't wake up "white moderates" and privileged centrists, then...all I can say is good luck.

Nicollet Ave in South Mpls now resembles a warzone after federal agents killed a man there this morning. Trump is trying his damndest to make this community unlivable.

If this is true, it is the most impeachable offense ever.

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

YES ON 50!

I'm old enough to remember when David Broder said of Bill Clinton, "He came in here and he trashed the place, and it's not his place." Every day, in ways both literal and figurative, we now can see what trashing the place truly means. wapo.st/4hqBNiU

Yeeeeaaahhh, I’m sorry, Louvre Museum, but I just don’t have the bandwidth to care about jewelry Napoleon once owned being stolen from your collection in a heist. Bummer, I know, but them’s the breaks.

Mike Quick: "This is the Carson Wentz we know."

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

yes, bay area, that was an earthquake. the dogs are still freaking out.

I lost a lot of respect for Kelce when he admitted Hollywood distracted him. I'm serious.

Huh! Imagine that! The world's least surprising news development in this case: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/13/b...

Joan Baez @joancbaezofficial.bsky.social joanbaez.com

a thin white woman in head to toe lululemon screaming at these thugs makes me think ICE has jumped the shark

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

"Construction on the White House Rose Garden is underway, and the historic garden’s green grass is now completely torn up... Trump told Fox News he planned to remodel the space with pavers, saying the grass 'doesn’t work'...” www.cnn.com/2025/06/18/p...

He wants a military parade yet defunds veteran agencies 🤨

🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did 🚨🚨🚨

Your safety is the top priority. Peaceful protesters have already been harmed for doing nothing. The story they’re selling isn’t legit. Please film everything, document everything.

Safety in numbers. Cameras up. Eyes open. What they say happened and what actually happened, aren’t always the same. Be the witness. Be the record. Stay safe.

I didn’t think it was possible to love Simone Biles any more than I already do, but here we are!

Simone Biles, continuing to prove she’s the GOAT

AOC: The girls are fighting aren’t they

In January 2025 RFK Jr. promised to find out the cause of autism by April 2025. In April 2025 RFK Jr. promised to find out the cause of autism by September 2025. Today RFK Jr. promised to have the "definitive answers" on the cause of autism by March 2026.

This is how terrified they are of people in government telling the truth to the American people about what they are doing behind the scenes. Cockroaches hate sunlight.

Mel offered me a bite of her Snickers bar and I remembered an old @tikkunolamunist.bsky.social riff: Snickers taste better if you eat them upside down. It’s true!

🚨Georgetown University Law Center students are detailing which law firms have caved and which have stood up to the Trump regime. They have created this spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Please share widely.

Neither has any human residents or, according to U.S. data, any trade with America last year — unless penguins have started exporting fish sticks. Still, a 10 percent tariff was slapped on them Wednesday, presumably just in case the wildlife starts getting entrepreneurial.

Trump just announced tariffs so wide-reaching, they now cover a sub-Antarctic island group populated mostly by penguins and a Norwegian Arctic archipelago best known for its polar bears.

Now updated with full video of performance >

Guster does good at the Kennedy Center @marisakabas.bsky.social with the story www.thehandbasket.co/p/guster-fin...

Oh my word, he really doesn't get it.
