Still trying rebuild our family life, it’s not easy rebuilding what my dad made in whole his life but I will not forgive ❤️‍🩹

"rob reiner derailing donald trump's presidency from beyond the grave" is very much not how i thought this year would end

Hello friends, I recently lost my health insurance + benefits & am currently looking at a bill of over $16,000 for which I cannot pay. This would not necessarily be an issue if I were not visually impaired and currently out of full time work, but I am humbly asking for assistance now. Any bit helps.

The Brand-New Pentagon Press Corps Is Gaga for Hegseth by @kathkrueger.bsky.social theintercept.com/2025/12/13/h...

beginning to suspect the right's whole "only say nice things about the dead or you're satan" thing when charlie kirk got killed was not entirely on the level

Today in @thenation.com: a beautiful piece from Hend Salama Abo Helow about her family's olive trees in Gaza—and how both the trees and their harvesters have refused to surrender to Israeli genocide. www.thenation.com/article/worl...

two things: 1. never let it be said we weren't aware of exactly what is going on with all of this. 2. he looks nearly catatonic

surprise surprise: bari picks an ardent zionist whose biggest claim to fame until now was comparing ta-nehisi coates to a terrorist for being against israeli apartheid www.discourseblog.com/p/ta-nehisi-...

i know this is the "orange man bad" place but the implications of Netflix buying WBD are extinction level for cinema. there is nothing to celebrate in this deal

eurovision choosing to destroy itself rather than hold israel accountable is a pretty bang-on symbol of Where We're At These Days

Today in @thenation.com: a rich, insightful piece from @jadsalfiti.bsky.social on the complex, decades-long intersection of the Palestine and queer movements, and why Palestine has become such a vital queer issue. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

it is essential that every unionized newsroom gets a ban on this kind of insidious bullshit written into their contract

Today in @thenation.com: a brilliant piece from Ghada Eyad, a writer and teacher in Gaza, about what her students are suffering through right now. The genocide has warped and derailed the ability of kids even to dream about their own lives. www.thenation.com/article/worl...

mohammed is building an incredible body of work. this is another must-read

nothing to see here, just a dentist's office in someone's house with terrifying art all around, as is common

hillary clinton has been peddling this tired nonsense for over a year...as i wrote about for @discourseblog.com. it was bullshit then and it still is! www.discourseblog.com/p/and-now-so...

pure uncut nazi shit

a real tell in all of this is that the trans instructor wasn't alone in trashing this essay! a whole other person also said they agreed completely that it sucked. but as far as i can tell only the trans person is getting punished. www.oklahoman.com/story/news/e...

If a man personally implicated in war crimes can remain atop the Pentagon, why would he stand by and risk his freedom should Vance (or Trump again) lose the 2028 election? And unless Bradley sees the inside of a brig, the message to USSOCOM's chain of command is that no action is impermissible.

this is an accurate enough rap sheet but it still clings to the myth that biden's crimes stemmed from a botched effort to exert "leverage" over israel—rather than accepting the obvious reality, which is that biden was simply a willing and active participant in genocide

Zohran Mamdani standing beside the President of the United States just said that the US is funding Israel's genocide and yet can't take care of its own unhoused children on live television. I never thought I'd see something like that in my lifetime

trump cheerfully and unwittingly driving a stake through every attack line about zohran is the funniest thing I have seen all year

somewhere in westchester andrew cuomo lets out a bloodcurdling scream

how is this real life

stupidest country

bring back shutting the fuck up

I spoke to Peter Oborne about Trump's role in the crisis at the BBC, the Prescott dossier's revisionist history on Gaza, and the complicity of UK media in 2+ years of genocide for @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Seen in Boston, Massachusetts in 1854.

the gulf between the swift brutality with which places like harvard treated students protesting genocide and the endless, endless latitude those same institutions have given people like larry summers tells you everything you need to know

harvard saying it needs to “investigate” suggests that this is some newly uncovered connection, not, y’know, something that has been known for many many many many years and is now immortalized in endless fawning emails

everything about this is incredibly wrong

"Then I learned that my ICE hold disqualified me from accessing the same college classes I tutored others for,” said Nguyen, who has been given a pseudonym because he fears deportation. DISBAND AND PROSECUTE ICE.

Today in @thenation.com: a powerful investigation from incarcerated journalist Aaron Edward Olson into the way that Washington State discriminates against immigrants in prison. Proud to have worked on this one with @typeinvestigations.org. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

the real heroes............

that's like $1250 of jewelry per celebration

their book would have been fucking insane

feels like "one of my best friends was the world's most famous pedophile" should keep you from teaching but i am not harvard

ok i need 400 chapters of this

they will be forcing people's eyes open clockwork orange style and making them read this entire book as a form of mind destruction

vanity fair hired this person and ta-nehisi coates in the same year

we all know exactly what it looks like when a news organization like the nyt digs its teeth into a particular issue or story. it takes active, sustained, deliberate engagement. and we know what the flip side to that looks like too. these are CHOICES, not acts of god

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"

pretty sure sex trafficking and rape are bad even if the girl is 15 megyn

Zohran showed that a socialist can take City Hall—but the ruling class still forced him to keep Jessica Tisch at the NYPD. For Zohran to fight the police unions and win, the Left has to build power beyond the ballot box. New from me for The Nation: www.thenation.com/article/poli...
