MN Judge: "ICE has violated ~100 court orders."

ICE: "We're acting on orders of Kristy Noem"

Kristi Noem: "Everything I've done, I've done at the direction of Trump & Miller"

Nuremberg Trials: "I was just following orders is not a valid defense to criminal behavior"

Abolish. Impeach. Prosecute.

Renee Good’s last words were to ICE agent Jonathan Ross: “That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you.” Then Ross shot Renee three times in the face. As she was dying, his last words to her were: “Fucking bitch.” And JD Vance thought that exchange exonerated ICE. That says it all.

DAVE MATTHEWS: “I don’t want my taxes to pay for masked thugs to roam our streets & terrorize our communities... She was trying to get away. He shot her 3x in the head. Murdered in cold blood. They’re trying to tell us not to believe what we see. FUCK ICE.”

Federal court blocks key parts of Trump’s anti-voting order, restores states’ control over elections Read more here.

BREAKING: In a major win for voters, a federal court blocked key parts of Trump’s anti-voting executive order.

The judge ruled Trump had no authority to rewrite election rules, target mail-in ballots or force new barriers to voter registration.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

One thing I learned after spending Christmas in Portugal: they play a lot of American Christmas music everywhere but “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is NOT ubiquitous and constant like it is in the US.

In other words: Escape is possible, friends. You just need to know where to look.

Still have it on VHS 😎

Carl Carlton, the singer-songwriter best known for hits "Everlasting Love" and "She's a Bad Mama Jama," has died, his son announced

Boom roasted

Chic hits #1 today in 1978 with “Le Freak”, a song originally titled “F**k Off!” — and written after the band was turned away by the bouncers at Studio 54.

“We go back to my apartment really pissed off,” said Nile Rodgers, “and Bernard starts singing, ‘Ahhh, f**k off!’ .. and that became the hook.”

Take a moment to watch performance artist Guillaume Juncar. You won’t regret it.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.

But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.

The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

"I'm not familiar" is the new "I don't recall"

My family 🥹

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

Fuck all the way off

The algorithm knows I'm interested in giving a "like" so of course I'm out when the right one pops up 🙄

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

"I am... full of shit."

10/10 - no notes

Jimmy Kimmel on Epstein files: "You know things in Washington are broken when Marjorie Taylor Greene is the lone voice of reason on the Republican side."

Greene: "I’ve always been an unapologetic Trump supporter… but I’m not a slave."

Trump is right, there is a war on Christians. He's the one doing it.

I hate how this article is titled. The only ones playing games are the Republicans that control three(four) branches of government. They are to blame.

Seven years ago today, Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was tortured, murdered and then dismembered. And any so-called comedian who can't stand up tonight in Riyadh and do ten minutes on that kind of hijinx and horseplay just isn't worth the Saudi blood money he's being paid.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

The world's richest—behemoths like Musk gripping X, Ellison eyeing TikTok and CNN via Paramount, Bezos clutching the Post, Zuckerberg hoarding Facebook and Instagram—wield media as a chokehold on truth. Oligarchy's venom runs deeper than mere wallets. #MediaOligarchy

Self recognition ☺️

FCC Chair Carr’s post from 12/30/23: Free speech is the counterweight—it is the check on government control. That is why censorship is the authoritarian’s dream.
