As Dave gets at, Dems content to operate in an info environment dominated by the right surrender the initiative to their political foes. The right can propagate damaging narratives at will — as Dems wait in vain for a chance to “get the facts out” so they can “let the voters decide.”

Still unreported, should be investigated: ICE shot Richard outside a mall. I visited mall security office. Guard said ICE and LAPD came in, used thumb drive to copy mall’s video footage, and THEN DELETED THE EVIDENCE from mall’s local drives. He showed me the missing timeline part saying “no data.”

Huge win for Richard Noticias LA, TikTok journalist shot by ICE. Criminal charges dismissed with prejudice, meaning can’t be refiled. ICE did him DIRTY. Repeatedly. Inhumane treatment, basically medical torture. Still in ICE custody on immigration case. They owe him unconditional release.

Disappointed to see Chimp Butt Fashion crash out in the first round, NGL.

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta. Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

China announced the Justice Mission 2025 hours ago, a military exercise that will take place around Taiwan. Live-fire exercises will take place tomorrow on 12/30.

I will never understand the soullessness of people who try to strip a human rights defender and torture survivor of the safety that his family won at impossible cost. I have nothing but the most profound admiration for Alaa Abd el-Fattah

In America, where irony is dead, a hotel chain uses a policy denying shelter to local people, for fear of accidentally housing homeless persons… To deny a reservation to the author of a much-lauded book on how American economic unfairness forces working people into homelessness.

Trump’s Assistant AG for Civil Rights is out here calling her fellow Republicans “hoes” and “r*tards” on Elon’s 88chan during the winter holidays, as one does.

Awarding the coveted David Roth "What A Picture" status to The Secret Agent (2025). Another really humane, inventive, and nicely nasty movie about trying to remain human in very bad times that is also a blast to watch pretty much from start to finish.

Speaking as someone who just wrote a book on the Manhattan Project, I can assure you that refugee immigrants were the *entire* reason the US mastered the atom first. The most chilling part of writing my book was reading about them fleeing fascism … abroad. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/fleeing-on...

This might sound harsh, and judgmental, but if video is your preferred way of getting information about a topic, you’re a fucking moron

New, from me: The NYT reporter who specializes in profiles of beleaguered right-wingers on campus went to New College...and found out that things were going ok! So let me explain some pretty massive errors of omission: 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-nyt-re...

Yeah, but the spring 2026!production of Whose Afraid of Virginia Woolf? starring Roseanne Barr, Jon Voight, Gina Carano, and Jake Paul is going to break all of the box office records.

Usually when a company has a “do no evil” policy and they still want to do some evil, they just leave the policy and do it anyway. Google let it be known that its days of doing no evil were over. It didn’t have to do that. It’s like sending out a press release saying “It’s Evil Time.”

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Society finally hit the collective bottom of its overuse of the word “iconic” to describe things that are, at most, notable.

Yikes

Trump's DOJ was monitoring all the movements of the Miami Herald reporter who was covering the Epstein case.

no one: a cop’s apartment in a 90s network procedural:

This is true. When made by someone competent, both are probably better than you remember.

Just the dumbest of asses

It also says a lot about The New York Times that it believes humor died on 9/11. Its editorial decisions read as such.

Make the Super Bowl halftime show several NBA halftime shows. Amazing Saldek, Red Panda, baby races. Problem solved.

Curious if this is just a way to get comfortable with civil forfeiture of immigrant property. A lot of Californians made a lot of money in real estate snatching up property owned by Japanese folks thrown into internment camps.

Sheriffs nationwide have enormous control over jail voting access, with many restricting mail and voter guides, making it nearly impossible for incarcerated people to vote. A law in Colorado removed that discretion—and turnout has soared.

It’s so easy to spot the intellectual lightweights who aspire to lucrative conference fame.

"A research team from the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research and the Centre for Demographic Studies investigated the impact of the conflict in Gaza on mortality. They estimate that 78,318 (70,614-87,504) people were killed in Gaza" Don't forget. Just don't.

I just taught my lecture course on mid-20th c US history, which starts with Harding and concludes with Nixon. For the first time, I had to pause and stress that those scandals were actually shocking at the time and, what’s more, that Americans actually demanded people be held accountable.

This shit is also about property. Why do you think they’re trying to tie rent to immigration and not “two hedge funds own all the rental properties in town?”

Ok the rage bait is running on fumes just end the year

*pushes man up to gallows* It’s time, Charlie Brown.

Eoin wrote a great book, the core of which is that these supposed Brave Truth-Teller post-left guys don't actually care about free speech whatsoever, which makes a suit like this pretty darkly ironic. Eoin's book and his newsletter deserve your support.

Loser shit

Pass.
