Plz put a trigger warning on an Ames/Greenwald combo-tweet

Signing off with some live footage of the Mummies covering Devo (the audio was put onto a bootleg 7" that made the rounds in the '90s). IIRC, this was recorded at the Shamrock on Hollywood Blvd. in the summer of '91. #1001CoverSongs Song # 83: youtu.be/NiLe7D1qWSc?...

Seven men who were violently arrested and injured by NSW police on suspicion of planning an "Islamist terror attack" near Bondi Beach have been released without charges. No terror links were found, the men were traveling on holiday to their Airbnb.

Ah yes, an age-old problem in elections; one side gets fewer votes. I have to think what happens then.

By the way, Gavin Newsom is apparently raising money to fight AGAINST the billionaire tax. So thoughtful of him to come to their aid at this particular time in history,

Love late-December 50° temperature swings

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.”

Be on the lookout + record any instances of an LAPD officer participating, in whatever fashion, in a federal immigration enforcement action LA City law prohibits the act & there's an enforcement process in place An enforcement mechanism is in place to address it & I'm happy to help you navigate it

I love tornado/blizzard szn youtu.be/gq48M_RBBHo?...

Melania Knauss was brought to the US by Paolo Zampolli, an Italian connected to the international "modeling industry" & a former associate of Epstein. Then & now

Didn't realize Don Siegel directed Dirty Harry so out of curiosity I checked the Wiki page and there's quite the back story en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_H... can't even conceptualize what a Milius/Sinatra film would have looked like.

at a deep instinctive level they can't recognise popular ideas or take them seriously

The Wisconsin component of the analysis here is revealing. Evidence is consistent with DOGE strategically delaying contract terminations in WI until after the 2025 state Supreme Court elections to mitigate electoral risk.

If so, I wanna take a moment to say how insane it is if the NBA is doing a “tribute to the troops” for someone “deployed” to 14th and K St. NW. Like he just came back from Antietam. If true, it just normalizes Trump’s fascist contention that our cities demand military occupation. Free DC. Always.

Every jaw in the room dropped. He had done the unthinkable. He had not only told them his beliefs, but he had done it with the equal degree of certainty that they had employed in telling him theirs. And there's this unspoken rule in America: Only Christians are allowed to do this.

The Professor, our foster dog, is up for adoption but has had zero applications. And I get it, people are busy, but he’s wonderful. Not a sleep in your lap dog but the king of sleep next to you dogs. Just a nice little 4 month old gentleman. With a PhD. new.shelterluv.com/embed/animal...

Extremely funny to call the pope “holier-than-thou”

THIS is among the most important list of documents the public needs to see. www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

Check out the Kavanaugh FN 4; I think it's pretty clear that the Kavanaugh Stop thing has gotten to him:

Among the newly-released Epstein files. This Justice Dept email from Jan 2020 'I wanted to let you know that the flight records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported"

An acquaintance of mine, 19 at the time, was beaten + limbs hyper extended, for being in attendance at a Critical Mass bike ride that a dozen police jurisdictions decided to bust up as practice. This all came out after the fact + nothing changed, nothing happened.

San Francisco should do this too. www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

“Advanced pancreatic is nasty stuff; it’s a death sentence. But I already had a death sentence before last week too — we all do,” Sasse wrote. floridaphoenix.com/2025/12/23/r...

Maybe someone with academic econ knowledge could clarify but didn't Elinor Ostrom talk about this?

L’il Marco is ZOOTED.

“Prosecutors added that of the 22 times Cincinnati police were called, Saxon never reported those incidents to ICE.” “It was also revealed in court that his own ICE supervisor called him a ‘loose cannon.’”

fascists barely win one election and the mouse is like “we made captain america white again 🙂”

the SCREEN Act stands to instate an age verification for any website that Congress decides is “harmful to minors” - Cooper Davis Act would require any electronic communication service provider to report knowledge of drug-related offenses to the DEA www.salon.com/2025/12/22/c...

Doesn't this just end with "Who is going to enforce contempt of Congress?" again?

It’s actually not technically a leak. CBS News only operates in the US. A non-PSKY owned network Global TV has Canadian rights for 60 Minutes and aired it unedited since the call to pull the episode was made so late in the day. That broadcast was recorded and then shared across the internet.

regulatory oversight stifles innovation

Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here. www.justice.gov/multimedia/C...

Going for that youth vote

“If one of these bills passes ... it’s going to affect all users, because if you want to access anything remotely controversial on the internet, you’re going to have to prove who you are,” EFF’s @irmck.bsky.social told @salon.com. www.salon.com/2025/12/22/...

The Atlantic had to get the "it was OK for Harlan Crow to have Nazi memorabilia" guy off the bench for this one

Second Matthew Taylor whose book "The violent take it by force" talks about leaders like Che Ahn who were at Jan 6 Insurrection

If you want to know more about the NAR, Che Ahn and some of the folks in that Worthen "don't worry they are ok piece", let me give you some suggestions: First: @fredclarkson.bsky.social

An AI researcher with a secret double life as a neo-Nazi terror plotter? Or a Nazi terrorist masquerading as an AI researcher? But it gets even stranger. Swedish journalist Mv Vingren reported that when Brazilian police searched Weidlich's phone they found "a Russian-language land agreement." 5/6

I can now report that the organizer of the Signal group behind the neo-Nazi terror plot was Vincent Weidlich, a 36-year-old American better known as an AI and neuroscience researcher. Weidlich was arrested in Brazil on Oct. 14, 2024. 3/6 www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

This is wild. In October 2024, I was able to review chats in almost real time from a Signal group comprised of dozens of Nazis in Europe, the US & Australia. They were calling for coordinated strikes against Jewish institutions, migrant camps, government buildings and other targets on 10/16/24 1/6

Absolutely dying that like, 10% of their scandals are like “whoa whoa whoa, I thought we all signed a contract that says we’re doing the racism to everyone except me”

Even if you were unaware with how central Hans Von Spakovsky has been to right wing conspiracies about nonexistent “voter fraud,” you would still be right to think it’s a bad sign that someone named Hans Von Spakovsky thinks Heritage has gone too far to the right
