I just got back home to finally sit down and watch the parade footage and it’s 100x more embarrassing than I expected. I totally forgot the weak nations that do these spend decades perfecting them. It looked like if Fyre festival did North Korea.

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?"

Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’”

“I’M PISSED!”

‘Treated like a criminal': US citizen says he was detained returning from Canada Bachir Atallah, a real estate attorney from New Hampshire, says he and his wife, Jessica Fakhri, were stopped crossing from Canada into Vermont

"After nearly five hours, he and his wife were released. They are now pursuing legal action.

"It's not about the immigrants," his sister, told NBC10 Boston. "It's coming to us Americans, and it's going to go after all of us."

Replace ‘Harvard’ with ‘churches’ and he’s onto something…

Ukraine has destroyed the Russian missile base that launched the Palm Sunday terrorist attack in Sumy. It will also find who ordered the attack and who carried it out, and if they survived.

I cannot convey enough how grateful I am to the millions of you all supporting us with your time, resources, and energy.

Your support has allowed us to rally people together at record scale to organize their communities.

All with an average donation of $21.

THANK YOU & Pa’lante 🙏🏽♥️

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.

That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

SCOTUS didn’t even have equitable discretion to vacate Boasberg’s orders b/c he was in the middle of contempt proceedings. You have to have “clean hands.” It would be like a drug dealer filing a complaint because he didn’t get paid. Cannon did the same thing in the documents special master case.

Keep calling your republican senators! Please!

They are snatching people off the street and sending them away to brutal prisons in foreign lands with zero due process - and they won't even bring them back when they realize a mistake was made.

That's frightening stuff for any American who actually loves their country.

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

Raffensperger Asks Federal Government for Help Suppressing Voters Read more.

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202.

I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.

Absolutely. Grind it to a halt.

The rush to destroy things like USAID and other agencies before lawsuits can stop them is to make it moot. When our stupidly slow judicial system finally moves to stop them it will be far too late. If all 10,000 USAID employees are home and projects abandoned it’s done. It’s evil.

Of course it’s a coup Miss the obvious, lose your republic

We’re focused on feeding our kids.

Investing in our schools.

Making sure child care is affordable.

Regardless of the chaos unfolding in Washington, we’re making Minnesota the best state for kids to grow up.

Authoritarian regimes don’t just collapse. They collapse themselves.
They push too hard. They create their own enemies. And then—suddenly—they’re gone.

Here’s how they accelerate their own demise. 🧵

LIGHTS OUT META.

Meta-wide strike Jan 19-26.

Even if you’re not ready to go cold turkey, you can take a week off. Remind Zuckerberg who butters his bread.

Share this. Tell your friends and family.

Understanding the Enemy: Audio From A Collapsing State If we're going to win this fight we first have to understand the nature of the struggle and what it is that we're facing

Capitalism is evolving into open oligarchical authoritarianism.

If we do nothing, it will only get worse. People need to get up to speed on what’s happened and where all this is going, form coalitions, and begin fighting back. The clock is ticking.

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files.

It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.

Now that Joe Manchin is no longer in Congress, I wonder what he’ll miss more - the many times he fvcked over Dems when they had the majority, or the opportunity he’ll miss now to fvck over Dems in the minority. Good riddance either way because it was always average Americans who actually got fvcked!

I too struggle 🦋💙🦋

I Do Not Obey in Advance I do not obey in advance.

I did all I could over the past year to avoid our nation winding up here.
Since we almost inexplicably now have, I refuse to kiss the ring or bend the knee or sell my soul, no matter how many already have or will end up doing so.
I refuse to normalize him.

"Trade flows were presumed to create peace, existing almost in a sphere outside politics"

Stares in 50 years of international political economy 🤷‍♂️

Republicans don’t actually care about the material needs of their own constituents. Their politics are based entirely on persecuting perceived enemies.

Is Kristi Noem ready to run FEMA? South Dakota flood victims doubt it. Trump has picked Noem as Homeland Security secretary, a job that includes overseeing FEMA. But some residents of her home state say she bungled the response to June floods.

President-elect Donald Trump has picked Kristi Noem as homeland security secretary, a job that includes overseeing federal disaster management. But some residents of her home state say she bungled the response to catastrophic floods in June.
