This is utterly despicable. This isn’t governing.

Thank you. Have you seen @sharonsaysso posts about Kid Rock’s lyrics? “Balls in your Mouth’ is just one.

Utter stupidity by an incompetent HHS.

i think this more than anything is what miller wants. vast detention camps with all of the suffering and death that means.

Email from Jeffrey Epstein: "supposedly a girl said that donal= had sex with her at my house when she was underage.. =C2 . she said she has a witness. in 1993"

It is despicable & sickening. There Must be accountability.

The FBI agent who tried to investigate the ICE officer who shot Renee Good to death has resigned after the bureau leadership in Washington pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the killing. @alanfeuer.bsky.social @glennthrush.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/u...

The term “law enforcement” should not be used by media, except perhaps in quotations. It has sadly become an Orwellian term that is used to magically sanctify violence. Language matters. Be specific. Describe individuals with names and ranks. Say exactly what they did. Don’t repeat fascist hocum.

Trump 2.0 stock market underperforms Trump 1.0 The S&P 500 also performed worse than during Biden or Obama's first years in office.

The stock market did well in the first year of Trump's second term, up 15.7%, but not as well as it did in the same period in his first term and not as well as it did under Biden or Obama. @danprimack.bsky.social www.axios.com/2026/01/21/t...

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

The price of the American dream. My name is Lindsey Fonseca. I am the owner of Taqueria Lou Lou. I am brokenhearted of the events that took place today. These people came to Christmas. We celebrated brithdays. They came on a dime’s notice if we needed help. They have family. They are friends. They are PEOPLE. I understand the consequences that come with decisions that were made. I respect the Law, and we did not resist. However, these men were not “bad guys”. They came to work, did their job, and went home. No drugs. No drinking. No kidnapping kids. No horror story. Just PEOPLE. None of you were there and I am sickened by the video that is circulating the Internet. And I’m even more sickened by the public opinion. Humanity was lost today. Rude comments will not be tolerated. I will NOT talk to the press. But this is what everyone is fishing for. So here it is. I am broken hearted. And I sincerely ask for the community to respect our privacy and the adjustment that is going to be have to be made now for our restaurant. Again, rude comments will not be tolerated, go harp on some other public platform. Pray for us friends. Sincerely, Lou

🤬Trump's KKK Nazi Agents kidnap hardworking folks from a WV neighborhood Mexican restaurant yesterday, sending them to be tortured.

In case you were wondering, Jack Smith's testimony was the *opposite* of "total exoneration."

Had 4 years of outrage media coverage of Hunter Biden having a board seat but not quite as much energy directed to what is basically legalized bribery. Need your tariffs cut? Just hand Trump a <checks notes> $130,000 solid gold bar and a bespoke Rolex desk clock. Media shrugs.

DeSantis and Ladapo to ‘end all vaccine mandates in Florida law’ Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo announced the move in Hillsborough County on Wednesday.

BREAKING: Florida Surgeon General plans to end childhood vaccine mandates & compares them to “slavery.”

Any parent can already get an exemption in Florida if they choose not to vaccinate their child.

This is performative theater likely directed by RFK JR.

And children will suffer as a result.

Where National Parks And Public Lands Stand Now, As Trump Administration Prepares To Privatize All signs point to a mass sell-off, as park service begins to fail and private equity circles

Public lands might be out of the mainstream headlines, but they're very much front and center in the Trump admins attempts to enrich themselves: wessiler.substack.com/p/where-nati...

So, a whole segment of the US population that identifies as “ pro life” actively opposes anyone in politics who won’t condone doing everything to protect a fetus, but doesn’t support the preventable killing of actual human beings due to this administration’s policies?

Do you know what Prager U is? It’s blatant propaganda for the far right. It is Not a university much less with any accreditation.

Reporter: I have lived in the DC area for almost 50 years now. The most violent moment in my life was January 6th, 2021, when Trump's supporters charged into the Capitol and beat cops. Trump's response to that was to pardon everyone who was involved

I feel like everything got in the weeds that we're not making the argument for why govt funding of science and education is good.

We stopped expanding the House in the 1920s, decided the Supreme Court should freeze in the 1930s, added the last states in the 1950s, amended the Constitution only once in the last fifty years.

The USA and its government continued to grow, but almost all that growth came in the executive branch.
