May we all move with fierce love and solidarity in 2026. It's been a brutal year, but I am entering 2026 with more hope than I had at the end of 2024, because the people of my city gave me that hope. I love you, Chicago.

HNY!

Jack Smith testifying seems like a peek into an alternate reality where there’s still serious adults in government.

The flu vaccine had nanobots in it that counteracted the Covid vaccine death clock

I mean I won’t say there wouldn’t be a certain amount of relief

Trump killed a lot of breast cancer research, making this point important to get widely distributed:

You don’t need a New Year’s resolution. You need a day’s. Do the right thing today. And then do it again tomorrow. That’s it. All it takes is your life. Day after day. That’s how life is lived. And how it’s wasted. Your choice. We all matter or none of us do. And all means all

DCREPORT will begin 2026 with another big story that our competitors with vastly more resources missed because it was hiding in plain sight. Have NYE fun, then please check in with us tomorrow.

This Jack Smith deposition makes one thing abundantly clear: If Donald Trump wasn’t re-elected, he’d be spending the rest of his life in prison. And he should be.

The President of the United States is a criminal. Thank you for your service, Jack Smith.

The AI companies will not die when their money scams run out. They’ll merge with the fascist state if we haven’t driven these fucks out of power and set up firewalls. This isn’t sit and see how it shakes out territory we’re in. Not by a long shot.

For those who are still complacent and hoping the status quo will win out and who can’t get themselves in a position to care about genocide or apartheid or oppression around the world, these are training grounds and the sins of empire will always return to the homeland.

We don’t talk enough about how the AI bubble is going to seamlessly transition to tech-based state surveillance and oppression of the working and dwindling middle classes as the wealth class steals more and more resources and power and as the climate worsens.

On Jack Smith deposition, now released: 100% obvious why GOP refused to allow this as open testimony, aired live. It's damning. Testimony from John Dean or Alex ("wiretaps") Butterfield in Watergate days would have 1/10th the impact if just in print. What Smith says is far more incriminating.

Ask your historian friends what happens when the white supremacist government determines it can't reasonably deport 100 million people, but still needs a permanent solution.

DHS now says it's aiming for 100 million deportations. In an amazing coincidence, there are 104 million Black and Hispanic people living in the U.S. right now.

The incel Nazi trolls who posted this would also do well to google "critical mass" and try to figure out what would happen to America's food supply, healthcare system and transportation network if 100 million people were suddenly removed.

“Did you believe you had sufficient evidence to obtain and sustain a conviction against Donald Trump for interference with the lawful transfer of power?” JACK SMITH: “Yes.”

4-year-old told me “I like you more than space likes planets” which as I understand is a huge honor in his culture

The more you know…

Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties

Republicans wouldn't let Jack Smith testify in public. Instead they did it behind closed doors and released a transcript and video on New Year's Eve, hoping few people would notice. They think it’s smart politics, but I think it’s one more attempt to cover up treason. History will agree with me.

"Seeing Herons makes me feel like I am in the right place at the right time.... " Wishing all our wonderful Heroneer friends a peaceful, quietly noticing, 2026. 💙

Democracies cannot function like this. The President is a public servant of the people, not a diety who doles out government services based on perceived personal slights.

Happy New Year, humans. This year we take the fight to them.

In case you were wondering, Jack Smith's testimony was the *opposite* of "total exoneration."

Donald Trump’s lying again. He lost in court when Illinois stood up against his attempt to militarize American cities with the National Guard. Now Trump is forced to stand down.

So, the frog stopped the National Guard from coming to Portland, along with astute lawsuits by Oregon. Only part of what's happening, but hard to understate how fundamentally the Portland Frog changed perceptions and helped morale. Humor, imagination, courage, savvy.

Bowl me over with a feather...

Asked about accountability for senators’ toll records, Jack Smith replied that “who should be accountable for this is Donald Trump.” Key passage

the onion has had many “please put down the lathe of heaven” moments but this one tops them all

the specific thing that broke everyone, the unforgivable crime he committed, was running against Mittens (correctly) as an uncaring plutocrat using the 47% tape was deeply unfair

Classic abuser logic.

I don't like the arch evil but i appreciate the spinal tap homage

Smith: There was an exchange between the two where Epshteyn asked Bannon if he was in touch with him. The answer was affirmative, and it was something to the effect of, “He’s still on fire.”

Score one for “fuck you, make me”

Let's be honest, by the time most women leave a relationship all her friends know all the reasons why already.

For example, Gallup found that a record 79% of Americans recognize that immigration is good for the country. 11/

Accordingly, Vance's longing to re-white America would require somehow undoing his own, diverse, family - a family that actually embodies what America has become since the 1960s, to the benefit of all Americans. 8/

Who want, as JD Vance now openly states, to re-white America, and void decades of immigration policies that-since the mid-60s-have made America the vibrant, and yes, diverse, country that it is now, and been key to the US retaining its status as cultural and economic center of the world. 3/

Trump campaigned on "securing" the border and deporting "criminals," purported policies that were broadly popular among voters - including among many Latinos - until they learned that was a campaign promise was a lie - and that Trumpers were actually virulent, and racist, xenophobes, ... 2/

also more directly to the point: i always wanna ask these guys if they think WASPs of their grandparents time considered their grandparents as having successfully assimilated. spoiler: they did not!

one of the many striking things about watching the original SCARFACE is how Camonte is portrayed in racist and dehumanizing ways yes but in ways that feel distinctly “latin” - ie, italians really used to be Not White.

the history of public leaders going into self-imposed exile as a political maneuver to weaken the regime of their homeland is about as old as politics itself and there’s nothing inherently wrong with someone opting not to be harassed by a regime while still attacking it from safety

Racist president can't help but be racist. My anger boils at all the corporate hacks, establishment pundits and civility police who gaslit us for 10 years and gave us nonsense such as "economic anxiety" and "racial trip ups." He's a racist.

the thing is, “differing political views” used to be about what percentage to tax high earners and not whether brown people are humans

We are under assessing the importance of the SCOTUS immunity decision, and its radical departure from prior precedent. It is really crafted from medieval HRE law—the doctrine of arcana imperii—that has no basis in US or English legal precedent.

unvarnished gutter racism and Nazism from the president. a disgrace to our country.
