Bradley Whitford, star of The Handmaid's Tale and West Wing, makes fun of the ridiculous right-wing narrative that the rich are 'victims.'
for those unfamiliar with the 1970s
Weeksville was one of the largest free Black communities in pre-Civil War America. Today, it remains a cornerstone of this city, but its history has too often been overlooked.
This short film is the story of Weeksville's rich, living history — and its vibrant future.
WOW
“You’re terrorizing people, and it’s unacceptable. I’m a citizen, this is my home.”
Nimco Omar, a citizen and long-time Minneapolis resident, was on her way to work when federal agents demanded to see her ID. As agents repeatedly asked her where she was born, Omar calmly stated her rights.
Good morning!
Last night I learned three important things:
1) My flight today from Toronto to NYC to give a talk in the Planetarium at AMNH tomorrow was cancelled due to the snow
2) The best alternative Air Canada could offer me was Wednesday morning: too late!
3) But there is a TRAIN 🚂
BOVINO (bullshit incoming): "During this operation, an individual approached US CBP agents with a 9mm semiautomatic handgun. The agents attempted to disarm the individual, but he violently resisted. Fearing for his life...a CBP agent fired defensive shots. 1/
WALZ: "Minnesota's justice system will have the last word on this. The federal government cannot be trusted to handle this investigation. We will handle it."
"Just like the killing of Renée Good, Saturday morning’s shooting once again raises the question of why it is so damned difficult to hold federal officers—and the federal government itself—accountable if and when they violate our rights."
Me on the federal accountability gap—and how to close it:
ANOTHER ANGLE: the original video was deleted but I screen capped it. Here it is.
I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.
As Trump reaches the end of the first year of his return to power, he and his lieutenants are demonstrating their willingness to deploy force beyond its legitimate use to achieve their aims.
The warning is clear and intentional: We are violent. Beware.
It’s the United States that needs regime change.
If you're going to drop into every post and reply "So what? Who's going to do something about it?", the answer is YOU. YOU are going to do something about it. YOU are the consequences. Stop waiting for someone else to save you.
I was not expecting a guilty verdict. I hope Judge Dugan is successful on appeal. I’m concerned about this emboldening this lawless administration.
BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.
Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.
Heartbreaking and horrifying to go to bed reading about the mass shooting at Brown University and wake up to read about the mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach. Thinking of the victims, their loved ones, and those affected by the hate that drove these attacks.
So we have two immigrant heroes. One in Australia who helped disarm one of the shooters and one in the US who helped track down the Brown U shooter. When a man stabbed several people in the UK, it was also an immigrant who disarmed him.
Weird that the Far Right keeps vilifying immigrants.
I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

BREAKING: DOJ has failed to indict Letitia James for a THIRD time! It's like Christmas around here!
Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?
A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.
Too many folks crowing about Noem possibly getting pushed out of DHS don't see the bigger picture. This is P2025 advancing. Push out women and minorities, replace with more cunning, sophisticated white men willing to do far worse.
Anyone defending execution as a reasonable punishment for drug smuggling is a Nazi. Pass it on.
The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

If you’re wondering why there’s a lull in the Epstein files discussion, it’s because the law that just passed gave Pamela Jo 30 days to release the files. So we’re all waiting to see how she tries to sabotage it. The discussion will pick back up in earnest on December 20th.
