GS: “Sen. Warner said you can’t argue drug trafficking charges demand invasion in one case while issuing a pardon in another…”🤔 @marcorubio: “Maduro was indicted.” GS: “Hernandez was CONVICTED.” RUBIO: “I wasn't involved in the pardon… I've got other things going on.” 🤷🏽‍♂️

If Trump isn't immediately impeached, charged, tried, convicted, and sentenced then we have lost our Democracy and we are living in an authoritarian regime. A regime that we the people can and will overthrow by any and all means necessary.

😕

I don’t understand how the first reaction from leadership isn’t “This is an impeachable offense. My colleagues must defund Hegseth and begin drafting articles immediately.” Like, even if it doesn’t get done, how are you not planting this flag in the ground immediately?

The deportation agency has earmarked $100 million for online advertisements over the next year, hoping to draw gun rights advocates and military enthusiasts into their ranks, according to an internal document obtained by The Washington Post. trib.al/OxqKY8R

Not to get too political but it would be nice if everything would stop getting worse.

Wegmans in New York City has begun collecting biometric data on shoppers' eyes, voices and faces from anyone who enters its supermarkets

News: Gang of Eight in Congress were only notified about Trump's Venezuela operation after it began, source familiar tells me. That means the heads of the Intelligence Committees in Senate and House were *not* consulted. Just crazy.

Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

Is the government going to sit and watch while the #PalestineAction hunger strikers die? Is most of the media going to carry on ignoring them? Just how callous has the Establishment become? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

"Tomorrow Heba will be on day 62 of her hunger strike. We will return to HMP New Hall to stand in solidarity with her and demand she is moved back to Bronzefield where her support system is"(Free the Filton24) #UK #HungerStrike #Palestine

The 1981 Irish hunger strike martyrs started dying between 46 (Martin Hurson) to 73 (Kieran Doherty) days, with most starting to die after or around day 60. The legendary Bobby Sands died at 66 days in. The British government surely remembers this well, making their actions all the more chilling.

Alarm is growing over the treatment and deteriorating health of eight Palestine Action activists jailed in the U.K. who are on hunger strike to protest their detention.

Dolly is a saint, but she'd probably deny it if I said it to her face.

NYCers have earned a day to just feel hopeful and happy. Nobody's in denial about political reality, and tomorrow will be here soon enough, but an inauguration is a celebration and an articulation of a vision, and it's okay to let yourself give in to the joy of aspiration.

Mamdani: Where else can you hear the sound of the steel pan, savor the smell of sancocho, and pay $9 for coffee on the same block? Where else could a Muslim kid like me grow up eating bagels and lox every Sunday?

Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

MOTHER JONES: “The Israeli government announced it would suspend the aid work of several humanitarian organizations that provide lifesaving aid to Palestinians… The suspensions affect 37 organizations, including Doctors Without Borders…” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The Supreme Court blocked the Trump regime 6-3 from deploying hundreds of National Guard troops in Chicago, citing an 1878 law which bans the use of the military for domestic policing. The ruling casts doubt on the viability of similar deployments in other U.S. cities. Hell, yeah 👏👏

Nothing to see here, just a right wing hyper-nationalist government going to their party’s youth event sponsored by a group with a martyred leader they’ve pledged to avenge, recruiting people to join their masked police force devoted to removing auslanders from ze homeland.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago. His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship." He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

anyone else feel like a lot of recent news stories were pushed to exhaust us so we'd be too tired to say much about the recent designations of civil rights groups as terrorist organizations and people being compiled into fbi watchlist groups for expressing anti-christian and pro-lgbt views?

Go Brad!!!!!

CAN WE HOLD A NO CONFIDENCE VOTE FOR THE METS EXECS RN BC WTF. @mets.com First Nimmo, then Diaz, now PETE?! I can't.

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene. A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

Know your rights. Protect your neighbors. New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

So beyond disturbing and disgusting that a government, a made up THING, can actively seek to destroy and end individual lives... it ain't right.

Stop supporting Spotify. Spotify wrapped 🙅‍♀️

Love this phenomenon #spotifywrapped

Oh hey, would you look at that? I love #spotifywrapped! This is the perfect time for us to all be posting ours. :) #boycottspottify

Great campaign by @workingfamilies.org ! I canceled my #spotify years ago after they continued to platform Joe Rogan... 🤮

A 6-year-old boy is missing after ICE arrested him and his dad in NYC last week and shipped them off to separate facilities. www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/02/i... @thecity.nyc @gwynnefitz.bsky.social

Federal immigration enforcement officials called off a planned raid on Canal Street today shortly before it was slated to begin. New Yorkers who heard about the raid showed up at the garage where the feds had gathered, and as federal agents tried to leave, the NYPD cleared the way for them.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

This is the result of the CIA using children to kill people and yet a whole lot of people don’t want to recognize *American* culture, and in particular the culture of the War on Terror, at work here.
