the anti-semitic Charlie Kirk conspiracy theories spreading like wildfire seems to have sparked a genuine panic among MAGA conservatives that the brand has turned so rancid, combined with, by and large, a complete inability to acknowledge that this was an inevitable result of the movement.

This is what every institution he threatens with frivolous defamation suits should be doing

Would've been nice to have a robust atheist scene pushing back against this Christian nationalist bs. Instead the major figureheads decided that reviving race science was more important -- and fearmongering about Muslims and trans people.

(🦋) BLUESKY NEWS: The South African Sociopath—everyone knows who I mean—has apparently just made a series of changes to Twitter that launched a new exodus. The per-second growth rate here at BlueSky is now *more than triple* what it was yesterday. So welcome, Twitter refugees! This is *way* better.

The “free speech” and “cancel culture” panics have led to overt state censorship because that was always their purpose. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

It’s remarkable how shamelessly Bari Weiss is turning CBS News into state media. by Viktor Orban

back to regular programming tomorrow, you can spend the first half of your boxing day watching cartoons and eating leftovers

absolute genius maneuver from bari weiss spiking this story now an exponentially higher amount of people will care about this and watch it anyways

They are about to understand the Streisand Effect: the more you try to hide something from the public, the bigger the story gets.

George Takei citing the Streisand Effect is a wonderful present to me this holiday season.

New candidate for album of the year just dropped

OUT: Striesand Effect IN: Weiss Effect

Streisand Effect is gonna be replaced by the Weiss Effect, innit?

The Dunning-Kruger Effect and the Streisand Effect, when merged, become the Bari Weiss Effect

The 60 minutes segment Bari Weiss killed is here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

Federal spending went up under Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, the exact opposite of its mission.

"The reason so many of yesterday’s free-speech champions transitioned so easily into today’s pro-Trump censors is that their definition of free speech never included the right of others to talk back." @adamserwer.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Congress could mandate that states use proportional representation, with parties getting a number of seats proportional to their share of the vote. Advocates are already pushing for some states to experiment with this reform.

“Do you know how long it takes a working man to save $5,000?” Approximately 42% of Americans have less than $5000 in savings. 79 years later and this question, defending the working class against unchecked greed and exploitation, hasn’t aged at all.

Germany’s AfD Nazi party which is backed by Musk and Trump is being used as a spy front for Russia.

So apparently there are many Epstein files on the DOJ website where you can highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it onto another document to read the redactions

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...

So apparently, the files released in today's batch of this Epstein scandal (30,000), were redacted in Adobe PDF, and ppl who've downloaded these, are able to basically copy and paste the texts, and get the full release unredacted.

This Yggy retweet is the first and only example I have found of someone involved with the Harper’s letter criticizing Bari’s 60 Minutes decision

Either Bari Weiss is the most incompetent hack in the history of hacks (very possible) or the CECOT 60 Minutes cancellation after so much hype is intended to send a clear message re: how media is expected to act in 2026 Or both. It could be both

Bari Weiss is so incompetent at leading CBS News that her efforts at fully suppressing the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT was foiled because she wasn't aware (or forgot) that the broadcast package including that segment was distributed via a streaming app for broadcast in Canada.

if bari weiss hadn't pulled that 60 Minutes piece it likely would've gotten very little attention, but now she's been revealed as the bowdlerizing incompetent she is. i love this journey for her.

Incompetent courtiers being put in charge of key technical positions and then totally botching them was a recurring feature and major weakness of historical absolute monarchies and authoritarian regimes. Anyway, Bari Weiss,

60 minutes CECOT segment. Recorded through my browser. HD quality. Not phone. Spread it around. If you're press, it's yours. Go nuts. It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long. www.filemail.com/d/wkcdttnacp...

And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV. There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

Looks like this was shared on GlobalTV in Canada and someone recorded it and sent it to multiple groups for wide distribution. Love it!!

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

A reminder: Bari Weiss signed the Harper's Letter.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

Bari Weiss, meet The Streisand Effect.

Have a cheap laugh. You know you want to. 😹😹

I appreciate this graphic issued by the NZ Central Sikh Association in response to the Destiny racists for its inspiring message of anti-discrimination, mutual aid and unity across ethnic & faith communities, and also its subtle reminder that Sikhs are known badasses so why would you fuck with them.

Current issue of @theonion.com nails it again.

This is why the Ellisons paid $150 million to acquire a mediocre Substack blog www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/12/bari...

What happened next: the night Led By Donkeys projected Trump and Epstein on to Windsor Castle

*tapping the sign again*

What once was largely limited to Stormfront and the fever swamps of the internet just a few years ago is now accepted discourse from the White House.
