It’s a new day in New York City, and Zohran Mamdani is asking a fundamental question that everyone else across the country should also be asking:

Who should our government work for?

I am struggling with what might be a generational experience. The gulf war was pretty politically formative for me. It’s not history so much as memory this time.

It is destabilizing to see almost the exact same gameplan but this time without the guardrails that at the time I took for granted.

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world.

This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

When oil dictates war: Why Venezuela exposes the true cost of energy dependence The early hours of January 3, 2026, marked not just another military intervention, but a stark reminder of a uncomfortable truth: as long as the world runs on oil, military might will shadow energy se...

“The transition to clean energy isn’t just about cutting emissions … It’s about refusing to let your economy, your security, your people’s wellbeing be held hostage by events you cannot control, in places you cannot reach, by leaders you did not choose.”

Stop calling them ICE agents. They’re not actual law enforcement. They are thugs-for-hire recruited from the Proud Boys, J6ers, and others. They are violent predators given the freedom to run wild against the people they have demonized. Every one of them must be brought to justice when this is over.

Major US cities are experiencing outbreaks of violence caused by armed gang members. These thugs are masked and dangerous. They attack and kidnap people off the streets and at their places of work. The group should be designated as a domestic terrorist organization. They call themselves ICE.

A US citizen filmed federal agents smashing his car window, as authorities begin a surge of immigration enforcement operations in North Carolina.

The Honduran-born Charlotte resident filed a police report after the officers let him go.

Robert Reich Big Tech's AI Power-Grab

We don’t yet know the long-term effects of AI — and we need to put up guardrails today to ensure it doesn’t spiral out of control tomorrow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imtkNL4v2ks

At Trump's urging, Bondi says U.S. will investigate Epstein's ties to political foes Acceding to President Donald Trump's demands, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Friday that she has ordered a top federal prosecutor to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's ties to Trump political foes.

Trump said jump, Bondi said how high. The DOJ rot is stinking up Washington. Republicans are criminals.

IF THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR YOU TO EVEN LOOK AT — I’VE HEARD OF CHILDREN HAVING TO ENDURE WORSE AND NOT ONLY DID NO ONE DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, BUT THEY ELECTED A LITIGATED RAPIST TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED FUCKING STATES.

According to a new analysis by Democrats on the Joint Economic Committee, the average American family has paid more than $700 in higher costs per month since Trump took office.

Remember when Trump said he would end inflation on "day one"?

Dear Jennifer Welch:
We can hate JD Vance and make a mockery of his guyliner or dressing drag in college but you're not helping our cause by this homophobic humor. Sounds very MAGA to us.
This ain't it.

One third of the country supported the January 6 2021 attempted take over the government & are the same ones who voted him back in. They are traitors in my book.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

It’s not about who you know, it’s about what you do. City Hall will soon be known as a source of support for New Yorkers — and an example of what our best and brightest can achieve.

Charlotte grocery store offers free delivery to protect immigrant community While U.S. Border Patrol is in Charlotte detaining people, one grocer wants “to help you receive the items you need from the comfort of your home.”

Dark forces are preventing us fighting the climate crisis – by taking knowledge hostage | George Monbiot The fundamental problem is this: that most of the means of communication are owned or influenced by the very rich, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Trump Administration Demands States ‘Undo’ Work to Send Full Food Stamps

Wow! The lengths Trump will go to just to make Americans starve. His administration has ordered states to “immediately undo” any steps taken to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families.
