Another media company caving to incremental authoritarianism. I will never call it by that illegitimate name.

“NEW: Trump has been reportedly left LIVID, as his lawsuit against a musician for pulling out backfired spectacularly – now EVERY reputable artist is cancelling their concerts.” I. S. Democratic Socialists

More and more mobile generators are being brought into Ramenskoye near Moscow, signaling serious trouble with restoring power. Quick fixes clearly aren’t working.

“I love the logic here: the huge success of the Canadian boycott has "backfired" because there are now more stringent checks on the Canadians who do cross over. Thank you US Border services for helping enforce the boycott.” Charlie Angus

RIP Tatiana Schlossberg, you lovely writer and presence. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Macron’s circle says France found no convincing evidence of a Ukrainian drone strike on Putin’s residence, per Le Monde. Russian claims contradict themselves, and partners saw nothing credible. EU leaders discussed Moscow’s reaction, while ISW and the US are also skeptical and investigating.

Like everything Trump, the Trump-Kennedy Centre fails The regime wants to turn artists into performing monkeys. But freedom of speech includes freedom to not praise the king

“BREAKING: After Trump announced he will sue Chuck Redd for a million dollars for cancelling the Christmas Eve concert at the Kennedy Center, music ensemble “The Cookers” just CANCELLED their New Year’s Eve concert in solidarity. 💪 GOOD.” U. S. Democratic Socialists

More musicians have canceled upcoming concerts at the Kennedy Center after the board voted to add Trump’s name to the venue. Singer Kristy Lee: "When American history starts getting treated like something you can ban, erase, rename, or rebrand for somebody else's ego, I can't stand on that stage."

Border czar Tom Homan didn't receive a normal background check for his role while his bribery probe was still ongoing: Justice officials felt sure Homan would not be able to obtain a security clearance based on the evidence gathered. It remains unclear how Homan was eventually granted clearance.

NEW: President Trump spent much of the year as a steamroller But as 2025 ends, he seems much smaller now Republicans took losses and are starting to defy him. He seems out of touch and focused on legacy. And Epstein won’t go away A shrinking president: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

“The TThe Atlanticaccused Canadians of "treachery" because Global TV aired the documentary on Trump's crimes. Fascism doesn't just happen, it is made possible because of the complicity of the media and intellectual class. Canada isn't treacherous. We have backbone.” Charlie Angus

It's like Pierre Poilievre telling financially-strapped Canadians to blow $35 on a t-shirt: cpcstore.ca

Fact check: true

It’s never been complicated. We elected the absolute worst of us, an utterly horrible human being. And the left has always struggled to acknowledge the truth about why we elected him, and the right has always struggled to acknowledge the truth about what an utterly horrible & bad person he is.

Why do so many people think Donald Trump is good? The work of a moral philosopher helps illuminate some central questions of our time, David Brooks argued in July. Revisit one of The Atlantic’s most-read stories of 2025:

"We do not remember days, we remember moments." – Cesare Pavese. Poetry lovers

Chicago Tribune’s investigative report on ICE: 4,500+ arrests over 64 days, only 1.5% had violent felony convictions. Tear gas, families separated, nightmares. This is what enforcement looked like in year 1 of the 2nd Trump admin. archive.ph/2025.12.28-2...

Phenomenal piece by @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social right here

Donald Trump targets his political enemies in order to keep power. In 2026, that won't just mean going after people like James Comey and Tish James. It will require him to target voters who he needs to disenfranchise to keep control of Congress. The fight for democracy is more urgent than ever.

A growing body of research indicates that Texas's restrictive abortion bans have negatively impacted the health and lives of Texas women and babies in multiple ways. Across the board, pregnancy outcomes and complications have worsened.

BREAKING: New Year’s Eve concerts at the Kennedy Center are canceled. Jazz drummer Billy Hart said the decision was connected to Trump’s name being added to the arts center. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/29/a...

Is it bad that nobody justifiably believes anything Putin says while the President of the United States believes everything he says?

Charlie, you unite us by honoring our history of fighting fascism. Your storytelling powerfully reveals the true face of resistance. You are a true patriot, a believer in justice, and a gift to Canada and the entire world.. #ElbowsUp #FuckFascism #ViveLeCanada 🇨🇦

Let us behold them suffering the consequences of their own stupidity and hatred.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

Once again raising the question -- why is the president's son-in-law at this official event?

Pelosi: "January 6 was really sad in itself. But the sorrow of it also springs from the fact that this president is trying to rewrite history."
