This is why they want us talking about day care scams.

Afternoon

NO OTHER RACIAL/ETHNIC GROUP VOTED IN THE MAJORITY FOR THIS MAN. That is paragraph 1 through 1000 of the story.

Are white people aware that Trump won twice BECAUSE A MAJORITY OF WHITE PEOPLE WHO VOTED PUT HIM IN OFFICE?????????? Why is this consistently elided???? Stop being ridiculous.

its honestly a pretty big responsibility being the last person on the planet with any understanding of spatial awareness when out in public among a large group

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta. Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

MTG is not your bigoted aunt or co-worker. She's an EXTREMELY wealthy fascist demagogue. You don't have to listen to random elite pundits and politicians lecturing you about "big tent" politics with respect to her.

LeMonde said, not on our watch

This year produced the single largest mass mobilizations in the country's history. Its entire history. I think that there are people who would say that this isn't true EVEN AS THEY ARE LIVING THROUGH THOSE MOBILIZATIONS. It's something to see.

Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.

“Then they shouldn’t have voted for this!” Bitch, Asheville is a blue college town and the county has gone blue for decades. I am so sick of this “if I pretend disasters only happen to red areas, it means I’m safe because I’m properly on the left!” No. You’re not safe. That’s why we save everybody.

Imagine it being easier to just pay the 8 billion dollars and it won't affect you in the slightest. Man what have we done lol

American and Brits just invent a new kind of racism every century out of boredom, don't we?

when i say this was very clear, i mean that white segregationists often wrote about their fears, both publicly and privately. it’s their own words

when i studied the history of reconstruction & jim crow, it was very clear that the racist politics/beliefs were primarily rooted in a pervasive, intergenerational white fear that black communities might one day seek revenge or reparations for the sins of enslavement & apartheid. that hasn’t changed

It’s novelty music and it’s mediocre even at that. The man ain’t even Weird Al. The thing is, a lot of people are desperate for the consumption of revolution — the beads, a wicked new album, a chant — without actual revolution. but you can’t manufacture that from pure consumption like this.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social PLEASE! Drop this message. It is not landing. "Trump and the MAGA GOP are for billionaires, higher prices, and pedophiles." That's it! It explains the last 12 months. People see it: Elon and DOGE, they can't afford things, and they see hiding Epstein files. K.I.S.S.

I wonder if people in this country know that the VAST MAJORITY of people in the US did not contribute to the Black freedom movement. I'm always taken aback by how people talk online. Folks, your grandparents & great-grandparents DID NOTHING or they were in OPPOSITION, lol.

Every Sunday, protesters from Florida and beyond go to the notorious immigration jail and advocate for its closure

Remember how all the people with cooler heads said comparing them with nazis was being hysterical

The incredibly corrupt, lawless, & unconstitutional nature of the entire DOGE enterprise requires Elon Musk and lots of other people to spend the rest of their lives in jail.

Pretty much every industry is looking at moving upmarket and healthcare is no exception. The physician shortage makes this particularly easy to pull off. It's going to get much, much worse before it gets better

CBS burying the 60 Minutes CECOT story is exactly why the Ellison family shouldn’t be allowed to buy Warner Bros. Discovery

The federal government is useless right now. But each of us can insist our state governments pool their resources and regulate this horrible practice out of existence.

1. Republicans want this, have wanted this. 2. Once these prices go up, they aint ever coming back down. www.cnbc.com/2025/12/23/e...

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

This is a great analysis of why conservatives feel persecuted for others simply existing or being acknowledged. It’s fear their identity and choices will stop being mainstream or normal. That’s why they get upset at Happy Holidays (acknowledging other celebrations exist) versus Merry Christmas.

Doesn’t surprise me. People will understand oppression, abuse, and coercive control from fifty-leven angles, fighting for the eradication of it all, and somehow completely miss that the root of it ALL comes from being a child who was abandoned to whatever circumstances they were born into.

The really messed up thing is that NOT hitting people requires no skills. We walk, work, and live among annoying, frustrating, and cruel adults every day. People who have had thirty or sixty years to do and be better. But we’re cool with hitting someone who’s had three? Five? Ten years of existence?

CBS didn't run the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, but over here at @propublica.org we've been working on the story since March, including finding out who each and every man sent to that maximum security prison was. You can see our reporting here: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

I continue to not understand how people know hitting someone in all other circumstances is not okay, but rationalize it as being perfectly normal with literally the smallest, most vulnerable humans we have.

Members of my family like to tease me about the fact that I don’t believe in hitting kids, but guess what? Nobody plays that mess in front of me. Every kid I know is safer in my presence. You can make fun of me all you want if you’re still gonna give me what I’m looking for. I’ll take it.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

“‘My most daring idea is to refuse,’ she said to applause.”

Incredible words from real boxer Anthony Joshua after he knocked Jake Paul the fuck out lol

A DOUBLE broken jaw?????? Whew, that match was a parable. Damnnnnn.

been quite the weekend for combat sports

Bank of America first started offering credit cards to women in 1974

as an aside I think it would be nifty if the few remaining journalists we do have could make it clear these fake journalists are being funded by billionaires (and in some cases foreign intelligence) to divide the electorate and destroy informed consensus

the epstein files as rick owens fall/winter 2024

The attempted whitewashing of Charlie Kirk after his murder remains one of the most troubling stories of the last year. Big difference between mourning and canonizing unnecessarily. @tressiemcphd.bsky.social called it “class solidarity” at the time. She’s right. www.altrightdelete.news/p/half-mast

Did the Trump regime pause visa issuance for all Portuguese nationals as it did for Afghan nationals after the DC shooting?

For anyone who might have been confused, just because one viper turns on another viper doesn't mean it's not still a viper pit.

ICE whistles work.

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!
