Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

That's exactly what the Constitution calls for. Elections are supposed to be run by the states, not by the federal government.

Nope. She’s lying again. He specifically said they wanted to “take over the voting in at least 15 places.” That’s not the SAVE Act. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Electrical workers in Minneapolis fight back! IBEW Local 292 appears to have just authorized their workers to walk off the job in protest of ICE or when necessary to protect themselves from ICE.

THIS IS HUGE! Esp. if other unions follow suit - could it be the start of a regional general strike?

Here's the Etsy store - he has both cards and posters of the drawing:

So if you're looking for Christmas cards, check out his Etsy store - I'll put the link below!

(It's worth taking a few minutes to unpack all the clever little references he's worked in - each year I seem to notice one I'd missed before, like the ads for "Glad" and "Tide" on the newspaper.)

He was happy to give permission, and he also mentioned that all proceeds from sales of the cards and posters of the drawing this season are being donated to SOAR Immigration Legal Services, a nonprofit helping immigrants in Oregon and Southwest Washington.

"José y Maria" has been one of my favorite Christmas drawings for several years now, ever since I first saw it back during Trump 1.0. I wanted to use it in my Substack this season, so I tracked down the artist to ask if he'd give permission (because copyright is important, right?)

AOC: Trump has been saying the economy is booming, but it’s really only seven tech companies. They’re driving this growth in just one sector: AI.

So the entire economic growth can be tracked down to seven companies and their AI expansion…

My guess about those emails were released today is that SOMEONE has decided that its time to cut loose from Trump - they see him as a liability now, more than a useful tool.

Newsom: They want to bring us back to a pre-1960s, maybe 1860s world. And you’re seeing it not just on voting rights—you’re seeing it on civil rights, on women’s rights, on LGBTQ rights. They’re censoring historic facts. They’re on a banning binge—Bud Light and Big Bird

And as long as the government is shut down, Johnson can keep Congress closed - which means the Epstein files won't be released.

It would have cost $38 billion to extend ACA subsidies for one year, and the Dems would have agreed to the funding bill to reopen the government. The GOP refused.

Trump sent $40 million to Argentina.

It's not the money. They'd rather starve people than fund healthcare.
