This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

This is a story I've been waiting to read. It's incredibly satisfying — to the point of tears — to finally read something that reflects the reality that I personally know to be true.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

I am reminded of a comment he made 20 years ago; he wanted to live long enough to eradicate the world of the guinea worm, it causes deformity, blindness, & death. There were 3.5 million cases in the world. The Carter’s provided clean water and medication‘s -today only 20 cases remain worldwide!

The Senate must pass this to protect journalists who Trump says he will jail if they don’t reveal their sources! Needless to say Republicans want to block it for the president-elect. Remarkable it passed the House. Schumer has the votes to pass it!

New Yorkers, please call Schumer's office and tell him to get on this. The PRESS Act has to be passed before Trump takes office. Not negotiable. 202-224-6542

Nothing to worry about, only the fact that the incoming Secretary of Health and Human Service’s favorite brand of raw milk has been suspended because they found bird flu in it.

This is fine.
He’s only gonna be in charge of our nation’s health.
Everything is fine.

News has just broke that Trump plans to eject trans people from the military within days of inauguration.

Trans servicemembers who have served 19 years will lose their pensions and healthcare.

This is obscene. They served our country, and will be kicked to the side like trash.

PLEASE REMEMBER:

trump's win percentage is shaping up to be the third SMALLEST in history.

He does NOT have a mandate, no matter what he says.

That means we push back against every single batshit crazy policy he tries to pass.

EVERYTHING.

Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa.
