If you’re celebrating the mass deportations of distraught, exhausted human beings seeking refuge, you probably shouldn’t be singing sweet songs about a baby with “no crib for a bed.”

‘We’ll need to see a warrant’: the group teaching businesses a vital tool to fight ICE raids Siembra in North Carolina gives owners fourth amendment rights trainings should federal agents show up at their door

The N Carolina immigrant rights group Siembra is teaching business owners their rights if federal agents show up at their door.

While most can name their first and second amendment rights, far fewer are familiar with the fourth, which prohibits unreasonable government searches and seizures.

We have a horrible, vicious, disgusting human in the Oval Office.

He’s so incredibly immature

They are openly corrupt. Let’s be sure they get the legal consequences their actions deserve.

After this stage of Alzheimer’s, my grandmother lost the ability to talk. All she could say was “Yi yi yi!”

She survived for at least 5 years after that point, and finally died of curable pneumonia that the family chose not to treat.

We need to act to remove him. Death may be a long time coming.

The Supreme Court is working hard to turn this country into a despot's dreamscape—while making it nigh impossible for good people to make lasting change for the better.

Those of us who begged folks (and national media) to put SCOTUS before everything else in 2016 are in an endless Cassandrian hell.

Read this and be a 14th amendment defender. It had better not be too late.

This is getting worse fast. Do you want to live in an authoritarian Christian nation? I don’t. I want our pluralistic secular democracy, thank you.

It’s the oil, stupid: Trump, Maduro and the threat of a Caribbean war The United States claims it wants to crack down on drugs—but that’s not the whole story

Donald Trump claims he is targeting Venezuela to crack down on drugs—but that’s not the whole story, writes Daniel Litvin.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said Ukrainian, British and European officials are close to finalising a streamlined alternative to the US peace proposal to end Russia’s war that includes security guarantees for the country.

Yes! Time for student protests.

And what I have to say about that is maybe CNN should go hard core on Trump’s mental state like they did Biden. After all their alignment with Trump during campaign is what got them here.

Cartoon villains- as incompetent as they are evil

Gentle reminder that the European Union was established because the first four decades of our 20th century were mostly internecine war and genocide.

New US security strategy aligns with Russia's vision, Moscow says The Kremlin welcomes the starkly worded document, which does not cast Russia as a threat to the US.

Disgusting. It will take a long time to regain trust with countries who were once allies.

Gross. What I’d like to see is more fresh air in the ventilation. And more room between the rows. And fewer fees for baggage and seat choice. Fast electric trains for domestic travel. Electric planes asap.

EVs beat petrol cars on lifetime emissions — even on “dirty” grids.
Battery production is carbon-intensive, but EVs quickly repay that debt and end up 21–71% cleaner over 250,000 km.

We can’t wait for perfect grids: electrify transport and clean the grid now.

Trump Is Once Again Acting as Putin’s Agent And that pivot does not serve American national interests.

Michael McFaul: Trump and his team are right back to appeasing Putin and undermining Ukrainian sovereignty. This reversal is dramatic and tragic. Ukrainian and Western leaders had no say in the drafting of the plan, which requires extreme concessions from Kyiv and demands nothing from Moscow.

We should be better than this. Demand that we be better than this!

Tweet from Homeland Security with ICE agents wearing Christmas gear. The caption says "YOU'RE GOING HO HO HOME."

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

I know where I’d rather live (posting from Amsterdam rn). Let’s US create bikeable/walkable cities where people get outside and interact and you can leave your bike on the street unlocked and it won’t get stolen, universal healthcare, strong democracy, strict gun laws, and civil rights protections.

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders just now:

We should create an “obnoxious reporter” badge for those with spines to wear with pride.

Tax the shit out of the rich!🤑

Of everything drumpf magagop are destroying, what they are doing to immigrants is some of the worst shit I can imagine.

America’s Foreign Policy Now Aligns With Russia Last week’s release of Trump’s National Security Strategy made one thing brutally clear and that is that the United States is no longer fully shaping its own foreign policy.

“The United States is no longer fully shaping its own foreign policy.”

This is what Republicans did to this country.

What everyone who didn’t vote for Kamala, or who weakened her, did.

The rest of us have to fight them to save our country from Russia.
