One of the most painful things in recent months has been speaking with friends who rolled their eyes at these warnings and are now fully terrified for themselves and their kids. No-one wanted those warnings to be true, I get it. But ignoring them altogether, for years?…
We could have stopped this.

This was Trump’s last state of the union speech. A Democratic speaker can simply not invite him to do another one, and that’s just table stakes at this point.

That is not the main reason to retake the House, but it sure is a nice addition.

Hey Critters!

As a quick note, our usual 9AM PT rebroadcast will be postponed this Friday, January 30th, so that everyone at Critical Role has the option to participate in the Nationwide General Strike in response to the ongoing brutality seen across our country, but especially in Minneapolis.

Elizabeth Warren calls on Education Secretary McMahon to resign amid department dismantling - The Boston Globe Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren called for McMahon's resignation as the Trump administration plans to dismantle the Department of Education.

Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren wrote an op-ed in USA Today calling for Education Secretary Linda McMahon to resign, following the Trump administration’s move to further dismantle the Education Department.

Too many mosquitoes. These bats are slacking.

😮‍💨 Sigh

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record.

I just don't know what to say anymore.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Oof.

ICE detains teenager in Milford, then releases them as crowd gathers Agents left without the teenager they detained on Friday afternoon, according to a spokesperson for the Milford Police Department.

You love to see people protecting their neighbors like this

Thank you to @crispystavern.bsky.social for posting this excellent summary of all this drama with Saige and the damage she (and Carlos) have done:

The dynamic where Kash Patel appears to be on the outs with DOJ and the White House and is trying to salvage his job by leaking tidbits about the Kirk investigation to right-wing media outlets doesn't seem great for obtaining accurate information.

If you don’t want to be called N*azis, don’t compare yourselves to N*azis. I don’t make the rules.

A federal court allowed the “defund” provision targeting Planned Parenthood health centers to take effect. What does this mean? Patients cannot use Medicaid to pay for their care at Planned Parenthood health centers.

oppose woke, have stroke

I beg you, in the name of basic human decency (& my mental sanity), STOP calling being anti-LGBTQ+ “a disagreement.” Stop calling racism “a disagreement.” Stop calling being anti-reproductive rights “a disagreement.” Do not normalize these vile views as one equal side of a reasonable debate.

No one is safe from gun violence in America.

We do not have to keep living like this.

Instead of inciting more violence, our political leaders should use this moment to unite us around common sense gun reforms that a majority of Americans support.

They’ll ask you to mourn the deaths they mourn, and no others. They’ll ask you to cherish the lives they cherish, and no others.

Report: American politicians hurriedly clarify they only condone political violence when they fund it against harmless civilians in foreign countries

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

A lot of performative grandstanding right now about how people *should* react to Kirk’s murder.

People can both denounce gun violence/murder AND hold no sympathy for a person who made a living off of promoting violence against others.

charlie kirk has received infinitely more sympathy and support from liberals than every single trans person, immigrant, and palestinian combined
