- If only people had paid closer attention to those warning us that the means to challenging every election result they don't agree with has already been put into place in many states by the GOP.
- Haitians are in America legally, having Temporary Protected Status. Their only crime is being black, which is enough for Trump to want to deport them all.
- When you "flood the zone with shit," you end up with a shithole country. Who would have guessed? Let's stop MAGA from doing this to us.
- Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3
- Happy Tuesday! Today's sunrise was a study in texture and layers from the top sky all the way down to the reflecting sun on the frozen snow over the dunes, with a wave splash for good measure. Tap for full size, particularly because it's a vertical. I hope you have a great day!

- Really! I have seen more pictures of 47 with Epstein than with his family. Wtf

- Trump’s border czar announced Wednesday that the Trump administration will remove 700 federal immigration officers from Minneapolis. The decision, effective immediately, still leaves over 2,000 agents in the area, nearly four times the number of officers in the Minneapolis Police Department.
- Really proud of New Mexico! www.koat.com/article/immi...
- The United States Supreme Court gave Trump immunity from prosecution. John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. They ARE responsible for the Epstein files being hidden; they are responsible for Trump's MURDERS. LET THAT SINK IN!
- One woman wrote history. The other copied the homework and still failed the class.

- Before Trump is done as President he will take much more $$$ in bribes and he will continue to molest the constitution because he is surrounded by enablers. Only regular people and the bond market will brush him back and slap him down.

- I am not used to being well ahead of a deadline but... I think I have almost finished my book save inserting images and doing a final edit? With over three weeks to spare? New year, new me!
- I’m going to be honest and say that I had completely forgotten that Mitch McConnell existed
- They don’t give a damn about the constitution or laws unless they can be used to support their actions. The people have to defend them. Just pointing at what it says doesn’t do it. As they accomplish more control the constitution will be torn up and the people won’t have any say.
- Elon Musk’s X and xAI companies are under formal investigation by the UK’s data protection watchdog - The Information Commissioner's Office. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
- Jeff Bezos took over the Washington Post Editorial Board and turned it into a mouthpiece for pro-corporate, pro-billionaire propaganda. Now, WaPo is laying off hundreds of *real* journalists — including the reporter covering Amazon. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

- The GOP donor has not shied away from criticizing Trump’s policies in the past, but this is the first time he’s called out the administration’s alleged self-dealing and conflict of interest issues.
- This is what Nicolás Maduro did in Venezuela. Nationalize voting, then clamp down on journalists and appoint only partisan judges. Becoming a dictator one step at a time. 🗽

- This research paper is the first time that a tipping point of a switch from a carbon sink to a carbon emission source in tropical rainforests has been identified clearly – not just for one year but for the last 20 years. Cause is a change in the local climate. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
- The president had his DOJ raid an election office and seize ballots. Now he is threatening to take over elections. Sadly, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day. I founded Democracy Docket because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0
