In Philadelphia, PA, ICE will be arrested if they break the law while wearing a mask, hide their identity & badge.
More communities need to stand up against this Regime.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents just launched flash bang grenades at protesters in front of federal building in Minneapolis—causing massive explosions. "It's terrorizing, this isn't the America I served for 20 years in the U.S. Navy," tearful protester tells us.

Close to 90 million people did NOT vote in the 2024 election.

90 million.

It bears repeating over and over and over.

At a White House roundtable, Donald Trump presses a Halliburton executive about why his company left Venezuela. The answer is blunt. They were forced out in 2019. By U.S. sanctions. His sanctions.

This is what policy amnesia looks like in real time.

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

It blows me away that there are still people out there with functioning brains who don’t take his deranged threats seriously. Maybe they will figure this all out in 3 more years.

Donald Trump called me today.

It's long past time to deliver lower costs for working people.

Screenshot of a post on X by “Mayor Zoharan Kwame Ma…” saying that on day 8 of their administration, he and @GovKathyHochul announced the beginning of universal childcare in NYC. The post says New Yorkers will no longer be forced to choose between starting a family and continuing to live in the city they love, and adds: “This only happened because of you.” Below the text is a video thumbnail showing a man in a dark suit and maroon tie seated at a desk in an office with a lamp behind him; a subtitle on the video reads: “Freeze the rent for rent stabilized tenants,” and a speaker icon appears in the corner.

Turns out we can have nice things with the right, courageous leadership.

🔥 @markruffalo.bsky.social : “I gotta be honest, I’m not feeling so great. Renee Good was murdered... stormtroopers running around terrorizing. As much as I love all this, I can’t pretend all this crazy stuff isn’t happening. We have a president who says laws don’t apply to him- this is crazy.”

Kristi Noem stated over the weekend that Americans deserve what they get if they get in the way of law enforcement operations, including the murder of Renee Good. If people get injured or killed, it's on them. Then she is sending more agents to Minneapolis. This Regime wants us killed.

A felon who married an immigrant is telling a lot of y’all that the problems in this country all stem from felons and immigrants.

But keep buying that stupid red hat that’s made in China.

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

The Napkin and the Noose How Laffer’s curve, Piketty’s math, and Trump’s Mar-a-Lago feasts turned America into a banquet for billionaires and a breadline for everyone else.

#SNAP is frozen, the ACA’s collapsing, and Mar-a-Lago’s serving snow crab. From Laffer’s napkin to Milei’s karaoke mic, America’s banquet of greed is in full swing. #uspolitics #authoritarianism #governmentshutdown #kakistocracy

Well at least they were all probably exposed to untold amounts of asbestos...no permits, no preservation, no salvage, and no mitigation.

I would like to know how we can identify the specific persons at CNN who researched, wrote, edited, and approved this and hang it around their necks for the rest of their professional lives.

I'll see if I can track it down...not a tightwad but with the extra loan to break free from utility companies...its tough! Montana winter means I won't have low utility bills till spring plus I have to pay the loan!

I won't be at breakeven for a few years...I support journalism...I am working class and live across the country from boston. Plus...I work in online ads which generate revenue for papers...having to subscribe AND deal with ads (as I'm sure the paper has) is just bs. But thanks for the lecture 🙂

Bill McKibben has been writing about climate change for decades. He thinks solar can save us. - The Boston Globe In a new book, the legendary activist makes the case for optimism — if we work fast.

I spent some time with @billmckibben.bsky.social talking about solar energy and walked away with a feeling that I almost had forgotten about: hope.

I am pretty sickened by the media coverage from all networks on Charlie Kirk. Melissa Hortman and her husband and dog were assassinated in June. No where the coverage like this. It’s the Republican CEO’s of these networks. I know that it’s just so disappointing and disgusting.

The real issue isn’t left vs right.

It’s not white vs black.

It’s not citizen vs immigrant.

It’s not gay vs straight.

The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

These are all people who wanted to kill their enemies before Charlie Kirk was shot, are more vocal about it now, and will keep lusting for it long after Charlie Kirk has been buried. Today’s biggest event could have been a dog farting and they would have reacted by wanting you dead.

Charlie Kirk’s assassination was horrific.

That doesn’t change the fact that the vast majority of gun (and political) violence has been perpetuated by right wingers.

You don’t get to change the narrative at will.
