Reader comment of the moment from the NYT: “This isn’t Trump. This is the United States. I am not blaming individual Americans, but your entire government is to blame for this crime. And if you don’t stop it, you are to blame as well.”

I keep going back to Star Trek lately.
Not for the future.
For a place where adults are in charge.
Where choices matter.
Where harm has consequences.

Beam me up.
Shields up.
Warp 10.
Make it so.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

“No room at the Inn” is a biblical reference about immigrants (Jesus’ parents) being turned away. Not the government. Way to go, Hilton! The 3rd Amendment protects private entities from having to house the government.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

This year has re-schooled many of us on what we do and don’t want for America.

One lesson is we should insist the filthy rich pay their fair share of taxes.

Another is if our representatives in Congress don’t fight for what is right for all Americans they should be removed.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Russia just bombed the main highway leading into Kharkiv - heavy traffic with families returning home after Christmas - cars are burning with people in them.

And we discuss signing something with them?

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

If you're a staffer at 60 Minutes who worked on that CECOT segment that got yanked by Bari Weiss at the last minute, figure out a way to leak it. Not saying it's an easy decision or there won't be consequences, but ask yourself why you got into journalism in the first place.

Kristi Noem has a policy requiring personal approval of FEMA contracts above $100,000. She's busy overseeing inhumane ICE raids so the policy is slowing the flow of aid.

Thank you @ross.house.gov for leading this effort to get Western NC the relief they need.

The bill would prohibit a new policy that requires the DHS secretary to personally approve money allocated by FEMA that exceeds $100,000.

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat.

The claim collapsed because it’s a cover.

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. 💔

This is my kind of good trouble.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

After much contemplation

I have concluded that America enables large scale homelessness

to serve as a constant reminder to poor people that if they don’t keep working long hours for pittances,

they too will end up on the streets.
