If you're in Portland and feel like screaming these days ...

Some of these redactions are almost like modern art

Among the nominees just confirmed is Leo Brent Bozell III, a far-right activist and critic of the fight to end apartheid, who Collins just approved to be the United States AMBASSADOR TO SOUTH AFRICA. Vile and irredeemable. tinyurl.com/5fwv4dzc #MEpolitics

Adding his name to the Kennedy Center is no different than if he had changed the name of the Washington or Lincoln or Vietnam memorial. It is like carving your name on somebody else’s tombstone. It is morally repugnant, narcissistic, and disgusting.

I’m at the combination Pizza Hut and Kennedy Center.

the trump administration has killed FOUR people in ICE custody in like the last week, so grain of salt that safety and sanctity of life are reasons for ending the visa lottery

Democracy died. Fascism is here. Legal residents of the United States sent to foreign prisons without due process. Students detained after voicing their opinions. Federal judges threatened with impeachment for ruling against trumps priorities.

It's worth pointing out that ice puts people in civil detention, that is, they have not been convicted of any crimes. The 8th Amendment doesn't even apply to them, not because we can treat them cruelly and I usually, but because they cannot be punished *at all.*

Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickax and pull those letters off that building, but I’m going to need help holding the ladder. Are you in? Applying for my carpenter’s card today, so it’ll be a union job!!!

Meanwhile in Russia… “Security forces have begun confiscating a science fiction novel from the late 1960s featuring gender-swapping characters from bookstores.” www.moscowtimes.news/2025/12/19/s...

US and Jordanian warplanes carried out dozens of strikes on suspected Islamic State sites across central Syria overnight Friday into early morning. Strikes came as retaliation for Dec. 13 attack on US troops in Palmyra. www.al-monitor.com/originals/20...

America’s surrender of its humanity is a scar that will not heal.

Maurice DuBois is a pro and John Dickerson is the best essayist working in television today and the way they've been treated by Bari since her arrival (her 'we're going to put straight news back in the Evening News' shtick) is both insulting and wildly out to lunch. A heartfelt salute to them.

Maurice DuBois and John Dickerson deserve better. Shame on Bari Weiss and CBS for ruining excellence.

I’m going to miss Maurice DeBois and John Dickerson on CBS News! Like Morning Joe, I will never watch CBS again!

They just don't want anyone traveling to the US for any reason at all

National Trust for Historic Preservation filed a lawsuit to block construction of WH ballroom until it goes through a legally mandated review process. WHY WASN’T THIS DONE when ballroom was 1st announced? Proper protocol waa not followed! www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Trump’s been fascinated with Russia for decades. He’s obsessed with Putin in a strange “school boy crush” manner. It’s embarrassing for the leader of a country to look like a teenager in love.

🤖 AI makes constant monitoring cheap and invisible. 👁️ Faces. 🎙️ Voices. 📍 Movements. 😶 Emotions. 🔗 Associations. ⚖️ What once required warrants becomes ambient. 🤐 People self censor. ✊ Organizing weakens. 🚨 Dissent carries quiet risk.

Proud to be woke as hell.

Check out my latest for The Tyee :)

Conservatives don’t have values 🤦‍♂️

It was the night before EUmas and all through the house, Vance could be heard running, yes he’s the one with a face like a mouse

Once again, a Scottish newspaper takes a stand, refusing to follow the mainstream media mob in perpetuating the great fiction that is the Gaza “ceasefire”. The @scotnational.bsky.social puts their peers to shame.

The World Health Organization has identified Lassa fever and related viruses as priority pathogens in urgent need of research and development, due to their potential to cause large outbreaks. By 2070, up to 700 million people may live in regions at risk of Lassa fever.

The first ever vaccine against Lassa fever, a deadly virus endemic in West Africa, is being trialled by the Oxford Vaccine Group. 31 people are to receive a dose of ChAdOx Lassa 1, made using the same viral vector platform as the Oxford/AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine.

Excellent use of 12 seconds.

Sometimes I try to estimate what percentage of the US population is politically unreachable. By the Manhattan Institute's measurements, just north of 1/3 of GOP voters do not believe in the efficacy of vaccines or the historical record of the Holocaust or 9/11 manhattan.institute/article/the-...

We are so far off the playing field here we can't even see the stadium.

the fun thing about working in small market news is I have hundreds of bylines like this and there's nothing I can do about it.

Reposting this everyday until Pete Hagueseth faces justice for his crimes against humanity.

Their ignorance knows no bounds.

maga wants to destroy america. it's what they live for. they hate this country with every drop of their blood

The image drew criticism from many, including Democrats, for the lack of women in a meeting about a bill that would impact healthcare for all Americans, including women

Few movements in Western democracies have waged war on women as relentlessly as MAGA has in the US. They're a coalition of incels, patriarchal conservatives & religious fundamentalists led by a man accused of sexual abuse by dozens of women. The Trump Administration are violent, toxic misogynists.

In the America I love, we can join together from all creeds and communities and be weirded out by the people going into the All You Can Drink Milk Stand.

While Cabinet members praise his energy and fitness, Trump sleeps. No satire in the history of film and television has ever been this on the mark.

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

This is spot-on. The UVA "deal" might be the worst/most dangerous (so far). With the help of UVA's leadership, Trump coerced a leading U.S. university to foreswear all efforts (including 100% lawful measures) to achieve diversity. A betrayal of our values. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

when its definitely not a hostage situation

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.
