Rachel Maddow Presents Burn Order

Spending a sobering evening with Rachel at Los Angeles’ beautiful Orpheum Theater remembering, reflecting & rallying to the cause of racially based mass internment.

The US government has done this before. The regime has reintroduced this evil practice. Fight back

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.

They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

Imagine your precious child, a high schooler, goes out to walk the dog & never comes back.

The reason: he gets abducted by #ICE who just release the dog.

Neighbors rescue the dog & return it with the news of #ICELawless.
Your son's detained for months in brutal conditions.

you know things are bad when Rand Paul starts seeming sensible
Rand Paul on mid-decade redistricting: "I think it's gonna lead to more civic tension & possibly more violence in our country. Think about it: if 35% of Texas is solidly Democrat & they have 0 representation, how does that make Democrats feel? I think it makes them feel they're not represented"

So there is already an ai-generated whitewashing campaign to bury the name of the Muslim man, Ahmed al Ahmed, who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach shooters, and replace his identity with a white guy name and that’s why even a thimble of our potable water powering this tech is too fucking much.

Part of the Chanukah tradition is to place the light menorah either outside or in a window where outsiders can see it. This is supposed to advertise the miracle of Chanukah. These days, it is also a way of saying, “This is a Jewish home.”

Every year I think about how it is also an act of bravery.

Ahmed Al Ahmed, is 43, a father of 2 and owner of a fruit shop in Sutherland, Australia.
Yesterday, he disarmed a terrorist targeting a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach where 12 humans were killed.

Ahmed was unarmed. He was shot twice and is expected to make a full recovery. Hero. 💔

i don't think this is even a real statistical anomaly anymore. it seems like there's someone in the crowd at every mass shooting who has been through it before. this doesn't have to be our shared cultural experience.

The president interrupted his Christmas remarks because he was confused about whether or not the woman five feet in front of him was his daughter who, he has repeatedly said in public, he would very much like to fuck.

Anyway, Merry Christmas!

What a world to go to bed thinking about one mass shooting and wake up to news of another, a targeted hate crime, at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney. And also in the video where an actual hero, Ahmed al Ahmed chooses not to kill one of the terrorists.

After months of Anti Muslim HATE, the RW HATE machine has zero interest in fact that the hero who disarmed a Bondi Beach shooter & saved lives was Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim. When the facts break the RW narrative, they just pretend it didn’t happen. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue
