Again, it is utterly shameful & demonstrates the total failure of all of our political institutions that threatening our closest NATO allies with territorial conquest has not immediately ended this presidency.
Denmark lost more troops per capita in the post 9/11 war on Afghanistan. Saying they “are not a good ally” because they won’t surrender their territories to the US is lunacy. We are betraying our allies to satisfy the whims of a would-be Emperor for whom the US is not enough.
They’re again advocating against Denmark when it comes to Greenland

This is the jazz musician Trump is suing for canceling his holiday concert at the former Kennedy Center. This album's great! Give it a spin--but not on Spotify, which is airing ads supporting ICE.
Support by listening. He currently has 3,000 monthly listeners. Make it 300,000.

The passage of Proposition 50, which redrew California’s congressional map, means that all of the state’s conservative north is likely to be represented by Democrats.

The DOJ identified at least 10 co-conspirators who worked with Epstein and Maxwell. It’s obvious to anyone with two eyes that Epstein and Maxwell were engaged in organized crime, yet NO ONE ELSE involved in Epstein’s sex trafficking ring has faced criminal charges. Why?

For sure. I think the difference between DeSantis and Trump 2 is the sheer volume of Nazi shit. It's both too many stories to properly cover and sometimes almost too controversial. I don't think anyone picked this story up besides me and Mother Jones, for instance:

In August, we sounded the alarm that Black unemployment was skyrocketing during the Trump administration.
Since then, the economy is even worse for Black workers. Black unemployment is now 8.3%, up 2 points since last year.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Within 15 minutes today, I got two back-to-back notifications of deaths at ICE facilities.
28 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office. These facilities are overcrowded & are putting their own profits over health and safety. We need oversight & accountability NOW.
