Forty-six years ago today: “DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?” 🇺🇸

‘I have no one to please but myself’: Why more and more women are choosing to stay single These days, it’s increasingly common for women to be single by choice. Why, then, does society still view us as desperate?

Just gonna take a quick peek around US culture & conclude that this is the least mysterious mystery in the history of mysteries.

Ossoff: "There are some folks who are doomscrolling in the fetal position. Every day there is a new outrage. It's easy I know to fear that maybe we could lose our republic. I think what John Lewis would tell us is it's up to us. We have the power to right the ship. Nobody is gonna do it for us."

The President is lying to the public:

1) For the past century, the federal government has been responsible for the Potomac Interceptor – not Maryland. The sewage pipe is on federal land.

It’s hard not to get choked up watching this. His story is a barometer of how much the tide is turning in this country. This needs to go viral.

This is it.

Pam Bondi's sole job.

Protect Trump, criminals, and pedophiles.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

“Is it too obvious to say that of course the right only values family as a system of ownership and property, only values motherhood as a way to push women from public life… only values babies & births when they are white babies and white births, meant to reproduce the nation as they imagine it?”

for better or worse, people will forget about that video by the end of the year, if not end of the month. but when trump finally kicks the bucket, there were be orgasmic celebrations across the US & around the world. he will be remembered as the most despised US president since WWII for generations

Things are grim but I believe the assholes have overreached. All they have is violence and intimidation and they're up against righteous anger, mutual aid, popular opinion, and *there are more of us than them.* Violence and intimidation are *not enough.*

Hold fast, stay tight. We can win.

Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, Greg Bovino.

They must all resign and be held accountable.

Thank you, Mr. President.

ICE demanded an ID, but she held her ground A viral video shows a Minneapolis resident calmly resisting federal immigration agents.

Nimco Omar, a citizen and long-time Minneapolis resident, was on her way to work when federal agents demanded to see her ID. Her viral video shows agents repeatedly asking her where she was born, with Omar calmly refusing and stating her rights.

They finally gave up.

I know this is small potatoes in the grand scheme of things but these guys are paid with your tax money and have no real job. ICE isn't necessary. They don't get rid of criminals. They just terrorize communities. And THAT'S why they should be abolished. No need for reins. It's not a job!

I’ve never been prouder to be a Minnesotan.

FOLLOWING THE NEWS OF YET ANOTHER FATAL SHOOTING IN MINNEAPOLIS, A CITY THAT HAS BEEN ON THE FOREFRONT OF THE FIGHT AGAINST INJUSTICES, NBA PLAYERS CAN NO LONGER REMAIN SILENT. NOW MORE THAN EVER, WE MUST DEFEND THE RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE PEOPLE IN MINNESOTA PROTESTING AND RISKING THEIR LIVES TO DEMAND JUSTICE. THE FRATERNITY OF NBA PLAYERS, LIKE THE UNITED STATES ITSELF, IS A COMMUNITY ENRICHED BY ITS GLOBAL CITIZENS, AND WE REFUSE TO LET THE FLAMES OF DIVISION THREATEN THE CIVIL LIBERTIES THAT ARE MEANT TO PROTECT US ALL. THE NBPA AND ITS MEMBERS EXTEND OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILIES OF ALEX PRETTI AND RENEE GOOD, JUST AS OUR THOUGHTS REMAIN FOCUSED ON THE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF ALL MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. NBPA

The National Basketball Players Association has released a statement on the killings in Minneapolis:

“Following the news of yet another fatal shooting in Minneapolis, a city that has been on the forefront of fight against injustices, NBA players can no longer remain silent”

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

A day will come when Donald Trump no longer dominates our politics.

Even though this is obvious, it’s hard to keep in mind.

The future will belong to those who can think clearly about what happens next.

Former GOP strategist Stuart Stevens says Republican senators are “compromised” and have become “Russian assets” for enabling Trump’s subservience to Putin.

Being a champion for reproductive rights means showing up to every fight. During my 7 years in State Senate I’ve fought back against Republican attacks on women’s rights and cosponsored dozens of bills to protect them.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

On my way to the Supreme Court where I'll be proud to support 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, West Virginia's only transgender athlete, as she opposes the state's effort to ban her from playing as herself.

Win or lose, Becky and her family are heroes for standing up for what's right

HAPPENING NOW: Tens of thousands have filled 5th Avenue in Manhattan on Sunday (Jan 11) in a massive anti-ICE protest.

New York showed up!

👏👏

(🎥Hands Off NYC)

Perhaps, in all this darkness/oppression, the world could somehow find itself experiencing not an autocratic ascent but "a new birth of freedom;" and "that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth" but rise while autocrats stumble and fall. Imagine.

Walz: "They're unwilling to stand with Melissa Hortman's children. And I want to tell you this: for those legislators who went and shed crocodile tears at her funeral, shame on you. Shame on you. Her children are asking you to do one thing in her name: tell the president to stop doing this."

Matt Walsh tweeted last year: "We've spent the last 25 years bringing "freedom" and "democracy" to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I'm so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why." Then he tweeted today: ""This is a war for oil!!!!!" First of all, the "war" lasted like 90 minutes. Second, going to war to secure vital resources for your own people is totally legitimate. Why should we allow some third world communist shithole to control trillions of dollars worth of oil?"

Laura Loomer tweeted last year: "I’m America First, I don’t support “Regime Change”. I went on @Bannons_WarRoom to talk about Chinese aggression in Venezuela and why we need to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign Islamic terrorist organization." Then she tweeted yesterday: "Maduro has arrived at the DEA office in Manhattan. He was transported in an armored motorcade after being transported in a blindfold via helicopter & then by plane to New York after his compound in Caracas was raided by US Special Forces. Proud to be an American today! USA 🇺🇸"

Catturd tweeted last year: "Name one U.S. inspired regime change that hasn’t ended in absolute disaster." Then he tweeted yesterday: "Venezuela is now more free than New York City."

Will Chamberlain tweeted last year: "The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position" Then he tweeted yesterday: "I can think of few better uses of my tax dollars than black-bagging the head of a foreign narco-trafficking organization that enriches itself by addicting and poisoning my fellow Americans"

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Schumer and Jeffries are not up to the job.

Dems need new leadership.

He's taken three cognitive tests that we know of in a year, and had a CT scan that still hasn't been fully explained. He falls asleep while announcing military action. Our troops deserve a Commander-in-Chief who is up to the job.
