When I lived in Tokyo, I regularly saw mothers transporting children, sometimes two at a time, on bikes to and from day care and pre-school.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Masked thugs on the streets.
Measles outbreaks across the nation.
Blatant government corruption.
Coverup of group of elite sex offenders.
Ruling party trying to rig elections.
Leader building grandiose monuments to himself.
Collapse of remnants of nonpartisan civil service.

Third world America.

The calls to boycott the World Cup are growing louder – will it ever happen? When Fifa handed the hosting duties of its biggest tournament to the USA, Mexico and Canada eight years ago, the idea of a boycott would have been considered ridiculous. But times have changed, says J...

We don't have to wait for Europe or FIFA. Don't buy tickets. Don't attend. Don't watch. Even better than cancelling it altogether will be empty stadiums and crashing ratings.

If you’re coming from overseas to watch the World Cup in USA please consider boycotting. It’s a country being led by a madman and full of ICE goons. Also, you will be overcharged for really shitty food in the stadiums.

You know who isn’t on this list? Who actually was a veteran? Senator Dan Sullivan of Alaska. He really needs to stop letting Murkowski do all the heavy lifting #FundHealthcareStopICE.

This is a sign of desperation. She sees herself going down and is telling the White House (Trump and Miller) she won’t go quietly. She is, however, wrong if she thinks she has any agency her. Trump has a political base and she does not.

A video of ICE agents apparently killing a man, shooting him several times while he's on the ground. They run away from his corpse.

When I was 28, I almost died. I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.

My first insulin prescription cost me $684.

Most Texans can't afford that. So when I got elected, I capped insulin at $25/month.

I know what it means to fight for my life. In the Senate, I’ll fight for yours.

Foreign athletes and visitors should boycott the World Cup In the USA unless they want to be "detained" by ICE like San Francisco Giants Star Jung Hoo Lee was at LAX. Seriously, the USA is not safe.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

Mark Carney gave the best speech at Davos by far. He understands the situation with clarity while others prevaricate, appease, and send late-night β€œDear Donald” texts or call him β€œdaddy.”

The UK is not currently planning to join Trump’s β€œBoard of Peace”, Bloomberg reports. Starmer is concerned by Trump’s decision to invite Putin and Lukashenko.

His spokesperson says the UK commitment to the UN is β€œunwavering”.

The Board of Peace is on its way to being the Board of Dictators.

I actually like the idea of the World Cup failing this time around and FIFA being blamed. We really need to get rid of FIFA and start over with something less …. Corrupt

When did police start dressing like Fortnite characters? And what is camouflage good for in a city?

Dress is a form of speech and we need to pay attention to the message we’re being sent.

The Virginia legislature today passed four constitutional amendments, all by day 3 of 2026 session:

β€”protect abortion rights
β€”repeal the same-sex marriage ban
β€”allow mid-decade redistricting
β€”greatly expand voting rights restoration.

These will all go to 2026 referendums.
