You know everything that remains hidden in the Epstein Files must be really horrific if the MAGA regime is murdering women, men and many children in Iran as well as killing our own troops just to keep the public distracted.

But Kamala Harrisโ€™s laugh and skin color.

How To Watch the State of the Union Address Yesterday on our Substack Live, Miles Taylor of defiance.org talked about how he views this moment.

You need to watch (I know, I know), but it doesnโ€™t have to be doom and gloom. Hereโ€™s how to stay informed, survive the SOTU address tonight, and maybe even have a little fun. joycevance.substack.com/p/how-to-wat...

No matter how much QAnon terrorist Lauren Boebert recites bible passages to pretend sheโ€™s some holier than thou being, Iโ€™ll always remember that her son is a criminal, her ex-husband is a criminal and she is a criminal best known for performing lewd sexual acts at musicals.

This government is OURS.

It is funded by US.

That is OUR White House.

WE pay for EVERYTHING.

ALL OF IT.

WE THE PEOPLE are the rightful owners of this nation.

Donโ€™t EVER forget it.

FIGHT LIKE HELL FOR IT.

NEVER give up.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistโ€”because the person felt she did didnโ€™t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

What a relief to see 2025 in the rear-view mirror. Count me among those optimistic that 2026, Americaโ€™s 250th anniversary year, will be the opportunity to prove that most Americans wonโ€™t let a depraved and malignant despot destroy our beloved country and end our democratic project.

Happy New Year!

Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedyโ€™s iconic wedding gown.

Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black womanโ€™s talent, Lowe was already designing for Americaโ€™s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.

@markwarnerva.bsky.social just launched his reelection campaign โ€” and this is NOT a race we can overlook.

The whole country is counting on Virginia. Keeping this seat is essential to shifting the balance of power in Washington.

No complacency. No assumptions. Letโ€™s get to work! ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ’ช

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. Thatโ€™s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defenseโ€ฆ He runs around on a stage like heโ€™s a 12 year old playing army. Itโ€™s embarrassing.
