I did not understand this: one of the five Europeans the US has barred from traveling to the United States...is a permanent resident who lives with his family in the US. Now he is worried about being arrested and deported for the crime of monitoring online hate. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/25/u...

UnitedHealth is the nation’s largest health insurance conglomerate. ProPublica obtained what is effectively the company’s internal playbook for limiting and cutting therapy costs. Here’s what we found. (Published Nov. 2024)

This is all I want for Christmas. 💚❤️

fucking yikes! internal movement controls are a sign of an increasing authoritarian state.

i see that ICE has taken a page from Canadian police/RCMP and adopted Starlight Tours as a effective way to kill/maim minorities. remember after they die you get to claim "well they were drunk and died of exposure" spheresofinfluence.ca/canadas-best...

It’s an anniversary we hate to see and feel.

Who acts like this on TV? Ants-in-his-pants billionaire who collects every data byte about you he can get his paws on – purchases, friendship network, healthcare, travels (vehicles and walking) and combines it to anticipate your imagined future crimes. Which he sells to cops and federal agencies.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff isn’t working for the US, or for humanity. He’s working for Vladimir Putin. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Jeffries: I think Rick Scott has some history with medicaid fraud in the state of Florida. So he's no expert on health care. We ain't going to be lectured by Rick Scott about anything, but certainly not affordable health care.

Blue states are stepping in to feed their people and fund SNAP. Red states, where you at? Or is MAGA about to learn, again, that performative politics doesn’t put food on the table?

Page One. @theguardian.com #ICE

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

reposting all the things in glee because for once for ONCE since about 1 f-ing year ago we can joyscroll gleescroll lolscroll 💙🛼 🌊

this genuinely feels like a moment history books will look back on where the Democratic Party was forced to either fix its hearts or die

Came here to say this, but Jamelle Bouie has this covered. 👇 When the Democratic tent includes candidates like Spanberger and Mamdani, there is no crisis, or fight, for the party. IT’S A COALITION, NOT A POINT ESTIMATE.

BREAKING: MAMDANI HAS WON according to Decision Desk

Everyone in Virginia is now obligated to transition. Welcome! 🏳️‍⚧️

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

Even though I don’t live there these brave little rays of super moon hope are what I needed 💙🌊

AOC: There was a day before his presidency, and there will be a day after — and it belongs to us.

The difference between Republican and Democratic governance couldn't be more stark when you compare Maryland Governor Wes Moore's response to aiding hungry Marylanders to the below reaction from Ron DeSantis when asked about helping hungry Floridians as described by POLITICO...

SCOOP: Months late, the DHS quietly formalized sweeping changes to a federal immigration database that now allows it to be used as a “voter verification” tool that sidesteps federal privacy protections and makes it easier to remove voters from the rolls.

Donald Trump is weaponizing the Department of Justice against his political opponents. This is just the latest example. Everyone who cares about democracy and the rule of law needs to speak out loudly and clearly that this is wrong. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I don't see a lot of people talking about this, so I want to highlight something GOOD Billie Eilish stood in a room full of billionaires and said "you're billionaires... Why?" She donated 11.5 MILLION DOLLARS to food equity and climate orgs, which Stephen Colbert announced to said billionaires.

my friend Grace is the woman who stood up to the guy in the Nazi SS uniform in those viral videos youve probably seen- he broke her nose with a beer stein - please share & donate and give her a hand with medical expenses, recovery and potential expenses gofund.me/72cb1a415

I wrote about how "Grokipedia" is a new front on the war against reality itself. It's an attempt by the oligarchic class to seize the means of knowledge production itself and create a weaponized unreality. www.thedissident.news/grokipedia-a...

Among 2024 voters, his approval is net negative in every state that voted for Kamala Harris, plus seven swing states (AZ, GA, MI, NC, NV, PA, WI) and Texas

The SNAP fight is actually a recapitulation of the entire purpose of the shutdown. There's a contingency fund, Trump is required to spend it, but he's not, usurping Congress's power of the purse, essentially so he can do it again with normal appropriations whenever he wants

It would help to have a National Day of Action re: SNAP - perhaps on November 1. It would take rapid response but houses of worship could take the lead in mobilizing their members. Educate everyone about the cuts, encourage local donations, pressure Congress, etc...

“We don’t have illegal aliens… the legal term for my people were slaves….” 🚨This is what leadership looks and sounds like in 2025.✊🏼

📽️VIDEO: Trump has transformed the DOJ into a weapon against his political opponents — and too many legal experts are falling into a dangerous trap by pretending it’s still a normal institution. Marc Elias explains why the department can’t be trusted anymore. https://bit.ly/47i7NCp

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

For all the blathering here and there about No Kings protests being cringe—no, THIS ⤵️ is cringe. Takes the goddamn cake of tacky. Ffs a gold ballroom like a Disney villain. And Little Marco there just dissociating through it all. 😶

Vance telling people to “grow up” about Young Republicans joking about gas chambers and r**e says it all. The bare minimum of decency is to say, “Yes, this is wrong.” If you can’t, you’re the one who needs to grow up. America has a child for a VP.

If you want to help those fired from CDC over the weekend, the CDC Mutual Aid Network is helping folks with emergency rent, groceries, etc. altCDC gets no funds from donations, but we can verify they are legit and funds go directly to those impacted.

Word to the wise: do not fly internationally into Logan. All of the major public detainments of Legal Residents and Citizens at airports have been out of Logan.

I want to thank all in Chicago and Portland who are peacefully protesting against this horrible administration. You will always be appreciated.. Much love

A voice like a sparkle in the cold darkness of a very long night. Crucial read:

I cannot add to this. Just-everything she said, especially at the end. #NoKings

Seeing pictures of an abandoned tamale cart in Pilsen where ICE took a tamale street vendor. Those photos of left behind carts are so haunting. Community members disappeared. Not just vendors but people who have long standing relationships with the community and people.

NEW: ICE purchased custom-made vans from a company called TechOps Specialty Vehicles (TOSV) that are equipped with fake cellphone towers designed to spy on phones. TOSV president said the company integrates the cell-site simulators into their vans, but does not manufacture the surveillance tool.

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..” @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
