We are not here to debate.
We are here to dismantle.
ICE’s violence is not “unfortunate.”
It’s intentional.
It’s deadly.
This weekend — we gather to demand accountability — and to build power.

Swalwell to @gregsargent.bsky.social: "I’m not voting to fund this ICE. I support getting rid of their immunity. I support requiring them to take off the masks ... This ICE is not what anybody asked for, and I’m not going to vote to continue it."

As everyone talks about Greenland, don't forget its actual global significance--a two mile thick sheet of ice that if melted would raise the sea level 23 feet (and long before that choke off the currents of the Atlantic)

Today marks 5 years since Trump incited the deadly attack on our Capitol.

Ever since, Trump has tried to downplay January 6, pardoning the rioters who assaulted brave law enforcement officers.

We must continue to defend our democracy and never let this history be erased.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

Just back from leading Xmas eve service at our tiny rural church.

You better believe we talked about baby Jesus having to be hustled across a border as a refugee to escape the secret police of the repulsive king, with the wise men helping.

Yes. Yes. Perfect.
ICE officials claim the couple—known only by their first names, Miryam and Yosef—had illegally entered Judea recently by camel. The woman is said to have given birth to the child a few nights ago, and the stable had been visited by suspicious persons claiming to have been led there by a star. “These people are clearly on drugs,” said an ICE spokesman. “This is exactly the kind of criminal element we want kept out of Judea.” Witnesses said that Yosef pleaded with the ICE agents to take just him and leave the mother and child. “They had him zip-tied, and he kept saying something about being in town to comply with Herod’s Census,” said a man who reported him. “He’s lying. I mean, look at them. They don’t belong here. They need to go back to where they came from.” ICE officials are also investigating the couple for other crimes. They were found with a substantial amount of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. “What are those luxury goods doing in their possession?” asked the ICE spokesman, taking a moment to adjust his mask. “We’re working to ascertain the original source, but we’re confident they were stolen.” He then leaned in. “And not for nothing, but we have it on good authority she was impregnated by another man. It’s apparently not his. Born out of wedlock. She’s an adulteress and likely a welfare queen. They’ll probably use the kid to commit fraud.”

The FBI put a thousand agents (their own words) on trying to hide all the links between Trump and Epstein. They failed. When people found some additional photos of Trump in the release, the DOJ promptly DELETED THEM FROM THE DOCUMENT RELEASE.

Available to download Friday, some Epstein files no longer there Saturday afternoon
An NPR analysis of the Epstein files shows some documents, originally available on Friday, are no longer on the Department of Justice's "Epstein Library" website as the DOJ releases more files.

I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI.

The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

Trump threatened Indiana Republicans that if they didn't do what he wanted, he'd block all federal funds to their state but they ignored his threats and told him to pound sand.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!
