Bombing a girls' school and killing 85 is a novel approach to earning a Nobel Peace Prize.

Rachel Maddow: “A sinkhole of sniveling cowardice.” 😂 She has a way with words.

Good trouble. Great people. Elgin, IL in 11-degree weather. (@maddow.bsky.social - I have the files in larger resolution!)

Whatever your views about ICE & Epstein & POTUS, can we at the very least agree that invading another country that has done us no harm ("the easy way or the hard way," as he has said multiple times) would be a red line—wrong on every level—and make us no better than Russia & its assault on Ukraine?

Getting ready for the next protest. It's my favorite kind of grief and anxiety management...

The Tennessee Holler (@thetnholler.bsky.social) “Stay in your cars! Tell everyone to stay in your houses.” Illinois state senator Karina Villa out in the street warning folks about ICE

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Please have State Senator Karina Villa on your show. This is her chasing down ICE and protecting her constituents. bit.ly/48k6683

This is courage in action in the face of masked, unidentified, and warrantless "officers" attempting to deport "the worst of the worst." (They're not.) Well done, Karina Villa.

They have been in my town the last couple of days and I'm sick to the point of nausea. State Senator Karina Villa is a superhero for literally stepping up and protecting her constituents from masked, warrantless "officers" racially profiling them to disappear them. (See video) bit.ly/48k6683

Perhaps instead of elevating Charlie Kirk to sainthood in a press conference, officials in Utah could lament the inexcusable murder, urge Americans to self-reflect, and recognize that some of Kirk's rhetoric was hate fomenting hate.

So proud to have voted for Kamala. So gutted at how right she was all along. SO DISGUSTED at the millions who still refuse to see the tsunami of toxicity and terror washing over this nation.

French native here. As you cover Epstein, please take into account the fact that the word "enigma" used in Trump's birthday note is an anagram for "gamine"—a French word that means little girl. Ghislaine would have known that and could have used it as code with clients.

I miss the days when Christians were known for something other than petty, performative outrage.

Just a word about the collective trauma of our vulnerable populations—on the day when Trump says he might rethink parts of the "selection process" for mass deportations. (Likely because rich people are losing their cheap labor.)

I'm nauseous. This despot is using the law and military force to restrict free speech, unleash state-sponsored aggression, corrupt our democracy and rewrite America's identity around the world...while his "Christian" minions stand by and laud his inhumanity.

The "but Biden" line is infuriating. On one side, you have a *former* president who is demonstrably a kind & integritous person who may have dementia. And on the other, you have *in power* a declining, demonstrably malignant/conscienceless narcissist motivated by vengeance. These are not comparable.
