I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Rev. Jesse Jackson, a civil rights icon, dies at 84 “Our father was a servant leader — not only to our family, but to the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked around the world,” the Jackson family said in a statement Tuesday.

Rev. Jesse Jackson dedicated his life to expanding who gets to belong in American democracy.

From civil rights to economic justice, he challenged power and widened the path for Black Americans. May we honor his legacy not just with words, but by continuing the work. www.nbcnews.com/news/obituar...

Trump’s propaganda czar Brendan Carr and Trump-controlled CBS refused to let Colbert air his interview with James Talarico. You can watch the interview here, and it already has 1.4M views. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

Six days ago federal officers murdered a man in the streets of Minneapolis and we still don't know their identities. Is there any modern precedent for this?

I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

It is in no way “law enforcement” to beat up an American 10th grader and steal and sell his possessions.

We have Justin Amash and Bill Kristol saying ABOLISH ICE before most Democrats.

What does that say about the Democratic establishment?

Primary season is on right now, folks.

We all deserve better.

Unarmed woman executed by state may have been on committee to fight against unarmed women being executed by the state

A protester is currently lying in a hospital bed with a piece of shrapnel in his neck 7mm from his carotid artery.

While he lay bleeding on the pavement, blinded in his left eye, gasping for air, agents did not call a medic. They dragged him and sneered: "You're going to lose your eye."

This is completely fucking unacceptable. Shut this terrorist government down until it stops brutalizing its own citizens.

Frey: "This notion of inflammatory comments -- c'mon guys. I dropped an F bomb, they killed someone. Which one of those is more inflammatory? I'm going with the killing somebody."

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social: Trump "said he was gonna lower costs, he did the opposite. He said he was gonna make healthcare more affordable, he did the opposite. He said that America would become a more peaceable place on his watch. We are seeing instead how he is deliberately stirring up chaos."

NONE OF THIS IS GOING TO STOP UNLESS WE MAKE IT STOP.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Impeach, convict, remove.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

Opinion | The Billionaires Have Gone Full Louis XV

"According to the…annual Harris Poll, for the 1st time, a majority of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to democracy. A remarkable 71% believe there should be a wealth tax. A majority believe there should be a cap on how much wealth a person can accumulate." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/14/o...

Rob Reiner Mourned by Hollywood’s Stunned A-List: ‘We Lost One of the Few Good Men’ Celebrities are paying tribute to director and actor Rob Reiner, who was found dead along with his wife Michele on Sunday.

“Norman [Lear] would have wanted to remind us that Rob and Michele spent every breath trying to make this country a better place, and they pursued that through their art, their activism, their philanthropy, and their love for family and friends...’”

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.

Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.

Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

Prop 50 passed! Sweeping win across the East Coast! Pop the champagne, baby. 🍾🥂

Let's do this over and over again until we take back our democracy! 🗳

Termination? How about incarceration?
