Off my list of things to do: thanking the five women who knitted 35 beanies for the stockings we gave the day laborers.

Someone wrote me a thank you note and gave me $50 toward our Adopt-a-Corner efforts, but noted that she didn't care how I spent the money. "Go buy a bottle of rye. Whatever you want!" Narrator: The money will help fund tamales on Christmas Eve for the day laborers.

Me: I don’t see the appeal of boxing TV: OK but what if it’s professional boxers savagely brutalizing influencers Me:

Guess he's still alive. Hope springs eternal. G'nite.

Damn. Most excellent burn.

#SoloElPuebloSalvaAlPueblo #OnlyThePeopleSaveThePeople Loved the coexistence of these two sentiments.

This should put an end to all the conspiracy theories.

I miss the days when memorials were only for dead people. Make it so again, universe!

Well, after eight years of research, writing and revision, I just sent the full manuscript for THE DIVISION: JOHN DOAR, THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, AND THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT to my publisher. This is happening, people. Whether you want it or not.

yelling that Trump is doing something "against the law" is meaningless if there are no consequences

Grateful to the crew staffing the Tamalpais overpass yesterday in Corte Madera. Where ARE the Epstein files?

Drudge going with the "That's what she said" headline.

I respectfully disagree with the jury’s verdict in the Judge Hannah Dugan case. The trial evidence showed that Judge Dugan did not obstruct ICE agents from arresting an undocumented immigrant. Let’s see what happens on appeal. Meanwhile, our support for Judge Dugan continues.

"’This is sickening,’ said Denise McGowan, a Palm Beach resident who has known González for over 20 years. ‘We need to get him out of Alligator Alcatraz.’"

I think Asha Rangappa is right — they are lining up the external and internal enemies. Or trying to. This is very risky and will almost certainly blow up in their faces.

If you’re not willing to engage in a Butlerian Jihad against the Plagiarism Machine, you’ve never actually made anything that mattered

My generation got to know him as one of three CNN reporters coming live from their Baghdad hotel room during the start of the first Gulf War. It was a new kind of war, carried live on air and he was one of the voices that brought it to us. RIP

New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..." Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.

i fucking hate what the Trump regime has turned me into. I believe: ICE agents are subhuman scum; for painful deaths upon Trump and Musk; and that half of my country that voted for him are irredeemable idiots.

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov. He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

What would be great is if Dem members in multiple states showed up at multiple ICE facilities at 10 a.m. tomorrow armed with this injunction.

My good friend and fellow VATgirl (Visibility Action Team) penned a perfect letter to the local newspaper about Marin County's sheriff's ongoing collaboration with ICE. Gift link. "Marin should not provide any information to ICE" www.marinij.com/2025/12/16/m...

-laughs nervously- What the fuck?

It was Christmas stocking distribution to our workers at our Novato Adopt-a-Corner. Work gloves, wool socks, homemade beanies, and $25 Trader Joe's gift cards to 35 day laborers. Thanks to @ndlon.bsky.social for inspiring us to regularly chill with "our" day laborers!

It is about the last thing I do each night and the first thing I do each morning (except pee, naturally). I check the news. Maybe in the morning, I think!

Overheard my neighbor's handyman bitching about my "Solo el Pueblo Salva el Pueblo" yard sign. Fragile old white men just can't stfu.

I can't qwhite put my finger on what's similar about all these countries. hmmm apnews.com/article/trum...

FFS. And I donate to Mozilla. I mean, up until this very moment, I donated monthly.

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.

I'm not even going to repost a screengrab of his post about Rob Reiner but man it really needs to be said every single day: Trump truly is the biggest piece of shit in the world, a man of absolutely no good qualities and seemingly limitless bad ones. Support for him is just so damning.

Donald Trump is eulogizing Rob Reiner in the right way. —Ezra Klein

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

I don't have any news to counteract the terrible news of the last few days, so here is a thread of cute animals eating things, with most with crunchy cromchy sounds. 1.

Having checked out the "Trending" feed, I'm going to hazard a guess that Rob Reiner has died. That makes me sad, and I think I'm going to log off.

"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.

Charmant!

Went to a "Decolonizing Your Mind" workshop today. Let me tell you, I've got some work to do.

Resistance Revival Chorus joined our ICE Out of Home Depot in New York. Home Depot must immediately do all it can to prevent ICE agents from swarming its properties. They must publicly condemn ICE raids on its properties. Silence its complicity.

related to this a lot of people in the pundit class need to learn how to just be annoyed by someone or something without turning it into What’s Wrong With America
