People care so much about these kinds of low hanging fruit wins and when Dems do it they need to sing it from the mountains (or just present like a human being and not a press conference robot).

WE CANNOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN!

I’m the dairy farmer running in the special election to replace Elise Stefanik in New York’s 21st Congressional District.

Can you repost this, give me a follow, and help spread the word?

"This is a criminal president and a criminal administration. This is straight-out fascism. This is about ending democracy. These people are destroying the Constitution. And if we say it in words that are any less blunt, we are not telling the truth."

ICE-involved shooting reported in Minneapolis on Saturday KARE11 says there are reports of another possible ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis Saturday morning.

Another shooting in Minneapolis. Surges of poorly trained ICE agents are leading to predictable and tragic results. What are we doing?

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

It is indeed. I love this for ICE.

WOW!! Missouri Jess Piper @piperformissouri.bsky.social made the @thetnholler.bsky.social

Growing crowd here at 34th and Portland in south Minneapolis, where witnesses tell me an ICE agent shot an observer in her car. Witnesses said she was not responsive and was taken away. Bovino is on scene along with dozens of federal agents.

1. End Citizens United
2. Tax the rich
3. Prosecute wage theft
4. Pass Medicare for All
5. Vote out bought, corrupt politicians

Fwiw I think the “apologize for being white” thing is very clearly about making sure white people don’t feel an obligation to alleviate past injustices or make society fairer. Ultimately to do that you have to raise taxes and the billionaires holding Vance’s leash don’t want that.

Pepper's #Caturday advice for Christmas week:

Once again a reminder: We can have trans rights, bodily autonomy, gender nonconformity, and freedom of expression, or we can have none of these things.

There’s no third option.

UPDATE: Two people were killed and eight others were wounded in the shooting at Brown University in Providence, RI yesterday afternoon. A person is in custody in connection to the shooting.

Yikes!

Bondi orders US law enforcement to investigate 'extremist groups' U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday ordered federal law enforcement to step up investigations into the anti-fascist antifa movement and similar "extremist groups," and asked the FBI to compile...

The Trump regime has announced a new escalation in its war on free speech and civil society.

Pam Bondi sent a memo to every federal prosecutor directing them to go on offense against all organizations connected to “ANTIFA” — a loose ideology rather than an actual organization or group.

Trainwreck? In October 2024, The Economist called Biden's economy "the envy of the world."

Pretty bad when the University of Oklahoma puts an instructor on “administrative leave” for failing a student who wrote an objectively terrible paper. We know what’s really behind it.

Yup. 💯

The President is calling for the arrest of Democrat lawmakers for a PSA to our military about unlawful orders. He thinks it's treason. Stephen Miller was ranting like a madman while claiming that it's an act of insurrection.

To the President and to Stephen Miller, I say: Quiet, piggy. 🐷🐷🐷

Donald Trump could have just kept his mouth shut about Jamal Khashoggi.

But to smear a dead journalist, while sitting with the person accused of orchestrating his murder is just vile.

Every time this administration hits rock bottom, a trap door seems to open.

Cretin behavior.

It shouldn’t take women holding up pictures of themselves when they were 20, 16, 14 yrs old for this country to understand that they were preyed upon by the the wealthiest & most well connected. That they were victims of horrific sex trafficking & abuse. If we believed women-we wouldn’t need a list.

I'm a Missourian. Missourians are used to the GOP and GOP legislators interfering with the initiative petition process here. They think we voters don't know what we are doing. I ain't "un-signing" that petition to bring the gerrymander to a vote. The GOP continues to think voters here are stupid.

In 2024, a "yes" on Amendment 3 was a vote in favor of abortion access. The language has been flipped for the November 2026 ballot. (Photo by Jeanette Rouse)

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Jeanette Rouse, of Springfield, says Missourians have already made their voices heard on an abortion ban. She encourages readers to understand what's written into Amendment 3 in 2026.

Northern lights in Springfield, MO. Even with light pollution, one could see a pink tinge in the sky with the naked eye. The phone camera set on 'night sight' picked up the color better. #northernlights

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.
