Happy New Year to all my friends on Bluesky

2025 felt like the longest decade.
We are angry. We are exhausted. But we are not leaving, and we are not turning our backs.
In 2026, change is necessary. We can no longer be spectators

Courage is contagious, and staying is an act of defiance.

I just took a ride with Uber, and my driver is from Venezuela. He spent the whole trip expressing concern that the same shift from democracy to dictatorship he saw in Venezuela is happening right now in the United States. He’s absolutely incredulous that Americans are allowing it to happen.

Trump is now confusing Greenland and Iceland: "They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland has already cost us a lot of money."

Electrical issue?

Watch the flight. Air Force One in a holding pattern doesn’t sense when it has priority over every other aircraft in the sky. If it needed to land, it could have dumped fuel and gone straight back.

Pilots out there, what say you?

If you’re a sitting member of Congress and not reacting to this speech by calling for immediate impeachment, removal and conviction, why are we paying you?

I've joined @robinkelly.house.gov’s effort to impeach DHS Secretary Noem.

Noem’s complete disregard for the law and inhumane treatment of our neighbors can’t be ignored. Her army of ICE agents are terrorizing communities across the country and ignoring due process.

Noem must be held accountable.

In the President's big speech at Davos, he keeps referring to America's need for Iceland. He came here to ask for Greenland.

Watching Davos and all I can think is, “We’re better than this,” but then I look at America and realize… no, we’re not.

Lying or ignorant? You decide?
BARTIROMO: I mean, we talk about evil action from Putin going into Ukraine. People are looking at Greenland and saying, 'How is it possible the US can acquire another country even though they're pushing back?'

LUTNICK: I don't remember Greenland being another country. We're not taking over Denmark.

These fucking assholes drove by an elementary school during the short window of morning drop off. They want to intimidate us but all they’re doing is pulling every single parent off the sidelines.
How do you think you’ll feel when the paramilitary drives by your kid’s elementary school in a show of force? I hope you never have to find out.

I have been told that this undercover ICE agent tried to get observers to scan a QR code “for his website”. The QR code did not resolve to a link.

DO NOT SCAN UNKNOWN QR CODES FROM STRANGERS.

This is a massive security risk! Bad things can happen to you if you do it!

Stay frosty, friends.
Every day some story breaks me some. Today it’s the guy who approached parents at a school patrol, told them he was with Indivisible, and asked about how the patrol system works. The parents gave vague answers, followed him back to his car — and of course it was ICE.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but for the millionth time, Denmark has no control over Greenland. Denmark cannot decide what happens to Greenland. Denmark provides defense and a foreign policy framework, but only Greenland can legally decide what happens to Greenland.
