a front-facing selfie of a small creature that looks identical to a red panda (though to an untrained eye one could mistake them for a pomeranian with red panda coloring). the fluffball is backlit by sunlight, and there is a tree with yellow leaves in the background.

We only rate dogs. This is very clearly a red panda. We've had just about enough of your tomfoolery. Please only send dogs. Thank you… 12/10 (IG: __joyjoa)

"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."

Just saw all your comments from last night’s post and someone shared a pic, Orlando showed up and used chalk to bring the rainbow crosswalk back! We love this so much!!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

I deeply resent having to defend John Bolton but “the president sends his goons on a fishing expedition to raid anyone who criticizes him” is in fact very alarming

F.B.I. Plans to Lower Recruiting Standards, Alarming Agents

Yes. Collapsing all fed law enforcement into one undifferentiated, untrained, masked force.

"Agents said they worried the changes would transform the FBI from an investigative agency focused on national security into something more akin to a federal police force..."

Trump and his cronies claim they support immigration as long as it’s done legally.

But today, thousands of Afghans in the U.S. lose their Temporary Protected Status. They’re here legally and would be targeted by the Taliban if they had to return home.

The cruelty is the point.

WATCH: House Republicans block a vote to release the Epstein files

Next up: sue this administration!

A disabled vet says he was wrongfully detained in last week’s Camarillo raid, despite being a U.S. citizen.

• Reporting for his security job at Glass House Farms
• Told them he was a citizen
• No charges. No phone call. No lawyer.
• No care after chemical exposure

NEWS: The Trump administration just announced it will eliminate the EPA’s Office of Research and Development and begin firing hundreds of government scientists.

For months, the Trump administration denied they were doing this… even after a leaked document exposed their plans.

Don’t Say Vote: NC GOPers Want to Bar Election Officials From Encouraging Turnout Read about the fight for democracy from activists, elected officials, legal experts and others.

No, this is not a joke. This is real.

North Carolina Republicans have introduced a sweeping elections bill that, among other steps, would bar election officials from encouraging or promoting voter turnout. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/don...

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

Listen closely as Carl Sagan explains how regular people can create change!

Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein's most prominent abuse survivors, dies by suicide Other Epstein victims credited Giuffre with giving them the courage to speak out.

A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41.

Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

I’d say that @stephencolbert.bsky.social is (with the lone exception of @maddow.msnbc.com) the most brilliant, humane person I’ve encountered in broadcasting. His mind works faster than anyone else’s at a level of sophistication that is unmatchable. Genuinely a generational talent.

Good grief. For this much anticipatory stress I’d expect a theatrical experience that is no less than orgasmic.

I am so sorry 💔

These are not strays.

Beloved pets are heading to L.A. shelters as families face deportation. They need new fosters and forever homes.

You know we're in the upside-down when stating the obvious is news

I think one of the most absurd parts of being human is that you can accidentally land in such an awkward position while sleeping that it fully debilitates you for the rest of the day.

You know what works better than thoughts and prayers? A functioning government.

I’m sorry for the long post but a lot of you have followed me for a long time, since 2016 when I was one of the first to repeatedly call out Trump for being a Russian asset.

I don’t know how else to say this, as a person who has studied cults (wrote a bestseller about it) and totalitarian states.

FFS!!!!! What?!?!?!
