Something to keep in mind next time you decide to splurge on a designer luxury bag. 📌 Prada was one of 13 luxury brands asked to hand over documents about their work practices this week as investigators lift the lid on the widespread use of Chinese-run sweatshops in Italy.

Rep. Grijalva says she was pepper-sprayed by ICE

“Opinion commentator”. He admitted his entire career was based on telling a steady stream of lies, then got mocked for it all day. This is his response. ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

There is a truly great man here on BlueSky For years he fights for the voiceless While fighting for his own health I hope you will follow and support my good friend @petermorley.bsky.social The very best of us Thank you Peter for all that you do

💔This is just heart-breaking. The Donald Trump regime really wants people to suffer.

some days you just have to laugh at how unbelievably stupid everything is

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Federal judge orders unsealing of grand jury transcripts from abandoned Jeffrey Epstein investigation in Florida.

We’re outside the Kennedy Center today where Donald Trump is attending the World Cup draw. The World Cup is a chance for the world to come together but this president is a leader who represents nothing but division, greed, and cruelty.

Slotkin: "If there's an idea that we're gonna go start a land war against Venezuela -- and just remember, the military of Venezuela is not comparable to the military of the US -- if we're gonna do that, then that should come to Congress."

This is exactly what churches should be doing, calling out injustice. 📌 Lake Street Church Nativity: a bold social justice statement with ICE-like Roman soldiers, the Virgin Mary in a gas mask, baby Jesus zip-tied, Joseph on the ground, pushing viewers to think about immigration.

The Golden Age.

“What have I done!” 🤡

Possibly the biggest financial scandal in Pentagon history is about to break. I am not suicidal. I am engaged in NO crimes. No Venezuela isn't about drugs OR oil. It's the blue gold. This rare earth scandal goes way beyond Venezuela! Coffee With Texas Paul Goes Live at 11 am Eastern. Join us!

Take the W's congratulations Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social 💙💙💙

Here’s some top notch reporting on the pardoning of Former Honduras President Hernández, sentenced prison drug trafficking that moved hundreds of tons of cocaine to the USA. @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social & Troy Iwata just want a clear answer: drugs good or drugs bad?

This is amazing.

More than 2,500 Starbucks workers are on strike. They’re demanding dignity: fair pay, safe conditions, a contract that respects their labor. It’s time their voices are heard at the same volume as CEOs earning millions.

NEW: The IG report on SignalGate is out. Hegseth sent classified information out on an unclassified Signal chat and put our troops in harms way. Hegseth says he retroactively "declassified" it so it doesn't count. You can read the findings here: media.defense.gov/2025/Dec/04/...

Pete Hegseth bears responsibility for THIS (hat tip @natashabertrand.bsky.social)

Couldn’t have said it better myself

LOOK AT THESE NUMBERS Special elections swung double digits toward Democrats. Thirty Republicans are sitting on margins of 13 points or less, and Tennessee just delivered a 13 point swing toward Democrats in an R +22 district. If GOP leadership isn’t sweating, they should be.

Some perspective

The new Pentagon press corps is batshit‼️ Full of QAnon conspiracy theorists, TikTok influencers, clickbait bloggers, deep state hunters, and an accused pedo. Not a serious journalist in the bunch.

Gavin Newsom lit into an audience full of financial power brokers today, criticizing what he cast as their complicity with Trump’s agenda. He told attendees of the New York Times DealBook Summit that they should look into the kneepads he’s selling, in parody, to those “groveling to Trump’s needs.”

ATTN GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES: The VA sent out an announcement with a link for employees to self-report their disabilities. I wouldn’t do this if I were you. They’ll likely use it to discriminate against you.

Former Judge Andrew Napolitano, who worked alongside Pete Hegseth for years at Fox, says the Sept. 2 boat strike is "an act of a war crime." "Everybody along the line who did it, from the secretary of Defense, to the admiral, to the people who actually pulled the trigger should be prosecuted."

Jacob Frey: "If we are now at the point where the federal govt is deploying agents on legal American citizens with a goal of uprooting people who have formed lives here, have families here, started businesses here, definitively made Minneapolis a better place, everybody should be speaking out."

Ilhan Omar points out that Tom Emmer -- who this morning pushed racist lies about Somalis on Fox -- actually has a lot of Somali constituents

Ilhan Omar: "Over 90% of Minnesota Somalis are citizens of this country ... a lot of Somalis when Trump first got elected decided to carry a passport ID because they knew he wasn't only coming for people who are undocumented, that he would come for immigrants who are citizens."

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER. My latest in @thenation.com

As the Epstein Island tapes are dropping and powerful people are sweating. That place was nicknamed “Orgy Island” and is why they tried to bury it. It also retraumatizes women who were just girls when this happened.

When you elect a criminal, you get more crime.

Roger Marshall Dr Rubin weights in "Women are great shoppers of healthcare"

Knock, Knock. Who's there? Our government is disappearing people! Our government is disappearing people, who? Our government is effin disappearing people! Wake TF up to tyranny & #ICELawlessness & SPEAK TF UP! YOU OR SOMEONE YOU LOVE COULD BE NEXT! FFS, Our government is disappearing people!

The raccoon’s name? Pete Hegseth.

Pete Hegseth is dropping bombs and making light of war crimes with memes of Franklin the Turtle.   An accountable administration would come explain themselves to Congress and the American people.   Trump and Hegseth's abuse of power must be checked.

Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara notes the MPD will not work with federal agents & says "In moments like this, I know how real the fear is in our community. People are going to want to speak out, protest, & exercise their 1st Amendment rights. We will absolutely defend people's right to do just that"

Jacob Frey: "We are here to respond to credible reports relaying that there are as many as 100 federal agents that will be deployed to the Twin Cities with a specific focus on targeting our Somali community. To our Somali community -- we love you and we stand with you. That commitment is rock solid"

TENNESSEE PEOPLE!! Let’s make history again! ⌚️ Time to change the world🌎 Tn was the deciding vote in the push for constitutional suffrage for women.🏵️ Let’s do it again and turn out for @aftynbehn.bsky.social !

NEW: Trump just called JD Vance incompetent.

White House ratio'd by the smallest possible pop star.

The Donald Trump regime is a total joke.

This dude is 2nd in the line of succession to the presidency and he knows nothing.
