In other news, Donald Trump sues little Jimmy from next door for "five hundred billion gazillion dollars", stating "That will teach him to call me a doodey head." Jimmy could not be reached for comment as he'd been shoved in back of a black SUV by masked goons. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Despite what you may have heard, colonial plunder didn’t give rise to capitalism. In an interview with Jacobin, Vivek Chibber discusses why the “colonialism-created-capitalism” argument fails, and why Marxism provides a better account of its emergence.

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat. The claim collapsed because it’s a cover. Check my latest… open.substack.com/pub/cwebbstu...

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

Sounds about right.

There you go!

Instead of responding only with thoughts and prayers, Australia will respond with laws and regulations. Because, unlike the United States, it values the lives of its citizens over any sick adulation of firearms. The 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to immediate, sweeping, bipartisan gun law reforms.

I haven't met A SINGLE liberal/Progressive/Democrat who has said that anyone in the Epstein Files who is a Democrat should be protected or immune from any crimes they committed. NOT. ONE. That's the difference...among many others.

Hotdogs, huh? Just fancy bologna stuffed in a tube! I’ve heard that if you find out what’s actually in them, you’d swear them off for life. But hey, I’ve never looked into it!

MacKenzie Scott: *donates $50M every 10 hours° Joe Lonsdale, co-founder of Palantir: "I want to see people hang"

Terrific investigation into Greg Bovino's roots. Lots of interesting details, including: "Here’s how the Bovinos managed to get around the new quotas that limited how many Italians and others deemed to be “undesirables” could end up in the United States." chicago.suntimes.com/the-watchdog...

“Have you brought the list?” “I have, O Great One.” “Has it been checked twice?” “Of course, sir” “Excellent.” “Do you require anything further?” “Bring me an elf, I’m famished.”

Eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich not made from strawberry preserves is like personally reenacting the death of William Wallace. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Who invented non-reflective glass? American physicist & chemist Katharine Burr Blodgett in 1938. It revolutionized optics--& led to the coatings used today in everything from eyeglasses to phone screens. She was the first woman to earn a PhD in #physics from Cambridge, 1926. #WomenInSTEM #inventor

Michael C. Rockefeller got shipwrecked in 1963, washed up on an island, and was promptly eaten by cannibals.

Q: Is an (ACA)extension with abortion restrictions better than no extension at all #AOC: “An extension with abortion restrictions kills women — I will not accept women & the lives of women as some political cost for them being able to extend these things — Reproductive care is health care — Period”

Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

Even the owls have had enough of this bullshit. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Lawless, criminal behavior

I'm trying something new here—a video version of this week's U.S.-Mexico Border Update. It's pretty rough, but at least you don't have to read thousands of words of text: youtu.be/PfVTKNFaoGk

Everyday Americans get nickel and dimed while the rich dodge taxes. They struggle to get by while the wealth of the 1% skyrockets. They see their voices drowned out while the well-connected avoid accountability. There are two sets of rules in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

In case you ever needed proof that the Heritage Foundation is not a conservative organization, here we have them cheering on the Federal Government threatening to strip all funding from a state that does not make political decisions the President likes. Any true conservative would be howling.

He will penetrate every nook and cranny of our society like coffee spilt on a keyboard. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/c...

Grandparents raising grandkids asked for respite and real support. New Mexico delivered. Universal child care isn’t just helping parents return to the workforce. It’s returning precious time to those in their golden years. More here: https://tinyurl.com/333mj4m7

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

"Every disturbing news report about a wrongful deportation or military-style raid of an apartment building should come as a reminder that the US government is using its prosecutorial discretion—it is *choosing*—to normalize casual cruelty and overt racism."

This #HumanRightsDay I am proud to be supporting Amnesty International’s efforts to support asylum seekers, immigrants, and refugees, as well as stopping the spread of dangerous authoritarian practices. Join me! amnestyusa.org/act

“She has marks on her neck and wrist from where agents restrained her. Agents cut off her wedding ring and held her in leg shackles at Whipple Federal Building for about five hours.” Her crime: witnessing ICE, from a distance.

I had the same idea

It was also no coincidence that it was a Black woman reporter he railed against.

The fucking idiot couldn't get that medal on quick enough.....😂🤣

If one more person posts a paywall article I'm going to murder everyone in this room and desecrate their bodies to such an extent they will have to add an amendment to the United Nations Convention Against Torture.

WATCH: An ICE agent pushes away a home security camera as she approaches a house. This is what a police state looks like.

Hilarious. Anyone with common sense knows a Trump pardon means nothing outside the U.S. Oops. 🚨 NEW: Honduran Authorities Issue Arrest Warrant for Ex-President Pardoned by Trump

It's weird how the Secretary of Transportation has clearly never flown on a plane before. His suggestions are always something like "Plane should have merry-go-rounds and open barbecue pits like they used to in the good old days."
