If you won't bring severe consequences for these relentless crimes against humanity, if you won't even consider it, if you won't even try then what is the point of you? Not just as a politician; as a human being.

A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present.

He was bundled into the van & taken away.

Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?”

I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

Common Sense, published 250 years ago today.
Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent; selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions.

Please stop and read this statement from Renee Good's wife.

Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears:

archive.is/ur35j
First, I want to extend my gratitude to all the people who have reached out from across the country and around the world to support our family. This kindness of strangers is the most fitting tribute because if you ever encountered my wife, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, you know that above all else, she was kind, In fact, kindness radiated out of her. Renee sparkled. She literally sparkled. I mean, she didn't wear glitter but I swear she had sparkles coming out of her pores. All the time. You might think it was just my love talking but her family said the same thing. Renee was made of sunshine, Renee lived by an overarching belief: there is kindness in the world and we need to do everything we can to find it Where it resides and nurture it where it needs to grow Renee was a Christian who knew that all religions teach the same essential truth: we are here to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole. Like people have done across place and time, we moved to make a better life for ourselves. We chose Minnesota to make our home. Our whole extended road trip here, we held hands in the car while our son drew all over the windows to pass the time and the miles, What we found when we got here was a vibrant and welcoming community, we made friends and spread joy: And while any place we were together was home, there was a strong shared sense here in Minneapolis that we were looking out for each other. Here, I had finally found peace and safe harbor. That has been taken from me forever. We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness. Renee lived this belief every day. She is pure love. She is pure joy. She is pure sunshine On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns. Renee leaves behind three extraordinary children; the youngest is just six years old and already lost his father. I am now left to raise our son and to continue teaching him, as Renee believed, that there are people building a better world for him. That the people who did this had fear and anger in their hearts, and we need to show them a better way. We thank you for the privacy you are granting our family as we grieve. We thank you for ensuring that Renee's legacy is one of kindness and love. We honor her memory by living her values: rejecting hate and choosing compassion, turning away from fear and pursuing peace, refusing division and knowing we must come together to build a world where we all come home safe to the people we love.

Democrats should run on the fact that their opposition is literally killing Americans and destroying the country.

It’s not hyperbole. That’s the message they should be blasting out to media every day.

They are killing Americans and destroying the country. They hate our freedom. They hate democracy

Witnessing the fascists in power try to justify yesterday's murder in Minneapolis, I was struck by a clarifying realization: there is nothing you or I could do to these people that is worse than what they've already done to themselves. They've reached inside their chest cavities and...

Did you know that for five bucks a month you get access to the PBS passport streaming app which has tons of incredibly good shows and documentaries and things and it helps support their funding?

I have no doubt that the year ahead will be just as difficult in 2025 in many ways. But I have more hope for the future today than I did one year ago, both in general and for my own personal life. So, let's discover 2026 together. #HappyNewYear

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Even if you don't celebrate the occasion, I encourage you to find someone or something that you love, you're passionate about, and just enjoy it on this day. There's so much misery in the world and everyone deserves a day to have joy.

You know how the ancient Egyptians thoroughly disavowed Akhenaten after his death? Tore down his temples, undid his religious changes, defaced images of him and did their best to ensure his name was forgotten, etc?

If we don't inflict that on Trump then what are we even doing with our free will

Gonna be real, you dont need AI at all. Not with references, not with ideas, not to help you brainstorm, nothin. Not in games and especially NOT animation.

You dont need an ass-pat machine to help you and your brain. Ask someone who you trust to give you proper feedback without crushing you.

Looking very much like a spiritual sequel to CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, which I find encouraging. Can't believe Reverend Jud Duplenticy will be the one to tell us the truth about all the aliens. Good for him!

He is irredeemably broken, morally and mentally. And so is everyone who continues to support him, because of ignorance, hatred, greed, or some combination.

Every day he is not impeached and removed is another grave stain on this country, and to Hell with those in any party who won't even try.

The funniest cinematic moment of the year is in JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH when Jonathan Bailey's character falls off a 500-foot cliff and lands in a shallow river and not only does he survive but his damn glasses aren't even broken.

Nuzzi and RFK Jr belong together. In the Hague, being tried for crimes against humanity alongside every other member of this administration.
anamariecox.bsky.social Ana Marie Cox @anamariecox.bsky.social · Nov 26
People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.
