James Talarico says it’s time to start flipping tables
I understand that there are a lot of folks on the left who instinctively recoil from religious language, and with good reason given its use by the right.
But please listen to this, and focus on how he's trying to realign "Christian values" so they align with and advance progressive policy goals.
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Ted Cruz: "I have no indication they were anywhere close to getting nuclear weapons"
Still, nobody on the right will care about the contradiction. They will only care how it effects their bank account. And it will.
Instagram, TikTok and Facebook are actively shutting down anti-Israel views or criticism of the illegal war with Iran; X (Twitter) is manipulating the narrative by boosting MAGA and Israeli accounts while limiting the view of others. It’s a full censorship regime on US media.
It will be tough for America’s global reputation to recover after this absolutely shameful vote.
Key art for "Don't Hug Me I'm Scared" on Dropout shows its title along with its three principal puppet characters in picture frames.
one of my all-time favorite weird and wonderful shows - DON'T HUG ME I'M SCARED - is now on dropout!
full web series now; TV series (which less people have seen) over the course of the next few months. big thanks to blink industries, becky, and joe for their faith in us.
This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube.
As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.
And here we are again.
Trump makes "ceasefire" proposal.
Ukraine accepts it.
Russia rejects it.
Trump blames Ukraine.
This is now the 8th time.
NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.
BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned
NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?
"Boo" is just one of JD Vance's many nicknames given to him by adoring fans!
Jayapal asks Epstein survivors in hearing room to stand and raise hands if they still haven't been able to meet with Bondi's DOJ. Every single one of them doe. Jayapal then gives Bondi an opportunity to apologize. She responds by trying to attack Jayapal and Merrick Garland but doesn't apologize.
in fact you do not have to show your ID when you board a train in the united states, you only need to show your ticket (which can be purchased without an ID)
BONUS RULING: Judge Thomas Johnston, a George W. Bush appoiintee in West Virginia, used a recent ruling to warn of the dangers of defying due process for immigrants because of what it could also mean for Americans. It's worth a read.

it’s funny that a handful of republican senators are belatedly realizing that all of these guys they voted to confirm really *are* lazy dumbshits, they weren’t play acting
GOP Sen Lummis says she’s changed her mind after the new Epstein revelations today: “Initially my reaction to all this was, I don’t care. I don’t see what the big deal is. But now I see what the big deal is. The members of Congress who were pushing this were not wrong!”
After consulting with Trump chief of staff Susie Wiles, intel chief Tulsi Gabbard is hiding "evidence of an unusual phone call between an individual associated with foreign intelligence and a person close to Donald Trump," according to the Guardian.
Criminals are running our federal government.
You will be shocked to learn that U.S. Border Patrol lied about the "gang associations" of the two people it shot in Portland last month. www.oregonlive.com/crime/2026/0...
has anybody gotten confirmation yet from Mike Johnson that he hasn't seen the post?
Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."
Truly a load-bearing post from @internethippo.bsky.social
If you want to FINALLY watch Scott Bessent get pinned down on specifics about the illegal money laundering operation being conducted by the Trump admin from someone who knows WTF he’s talking about, this clip is your chance. Bessent gets destroyed.
"ICE guys are pretty miserable. I don’t think morale is particularly high for them. They’re freezing, they’re getting shouted at. They can’t go anywhere without being tailed by 5 cars. They get out and immediately there's a crowd of 100 people shouting at them, blowing whistles as loud as they can."
Nothing even remotely like the modern system of tightly restricted international borders existed in biblical times.
