The RFK, jr effect.

The US government is now a mafia organization.

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

It is almost impossible to keep up with the fraud and corruption of this administration

Richest 1/1000th of world’s population controls 3 times more wealth than the poorest 50%. "The global wealth gap has become so staggering, and its impact on economies & democratic institutions so corrosive, that policymakers should treat it as an emergency..." www.commondreams.org/news/world-i...

WATCH: “What I saw changed my life. They spent the night in their cars to get care in barns.”😳🇺🇸 Ex insurance company exec @wendellpotter.bsky.social tells Kanew a visit to a Remote Area Medical site in East Tennessee turned him into #MedicareForAll advocate Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DSFsimP...

In academia and PK-12 we need to be critical consumers of any type of tech tool. Do we know that there are positive effects on student learning? If not, it is not ethical to forge ahead and use students as guinea pigs. Their brains and their futures are too important to experiment with.

And here it is. Kushner is working with the Saudis to grab CNN and make them a propaganda channel for both them and tDumpster. If we do not start doing something now, we are going to belong to all the wrong people. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

Today is #HumanRightsDay. What better day to remind everyone that either we all have human rights, or none of us really do.

The first family corruption continues.

JFC. The weakening of America continues.

Leaders of a Catholic church in Massachusetts kept a Nativity display with an anti-ICE message in place on Monday, defying an order from the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston to remove it. The display shows Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus missing, replaced by a sign reading “ICE WAS HERE.” trib.al/adPW46y

Historian Thomas Hughes argued that technologies are malleable when young, then harden. Right now we're still shaping AI, or at least it is being shaped by our institutions, norms & use cases Eventually these systems build a momentum of their own. That is why choices now matter, things are fluid.

The Kremlin is praising the new US security strategy. Any questions?

Interesting. End The Fed.

“I’d have no problem releasing the video” “I didn’t say that, you said that. Fake news.” 5 days apart 😬 (From @therecount.com )

The U.S. is mirroring a pattern that has happened in authoritarian regimes around the world. When a government erects barriers to reproductive care, it doesn’t just cause death and suffering for women and their families. Such policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies.

So when the #AmericanGestapo says their arrests involve people committing crimes, they are technically correct. But the criminals are in ICE, not Home Depot parking lots or street taco stands.

Same goes for our media attacking the innocent...

This is a perfect example as to why we need AI regulation yesterday. AI cannot be the arbiter of whether human beings can live or die. This is an excuse for insurance companies to fire human workers and make our healthcare system even more nightmarish for a quick buck.

#GVerse #Veterans US Citizen detained by ICE: Clearly it didn't matter that I was a citizen, a veteran, or identified who I was. They ignored everything I said. They just broke my window and dragged me out. I let them know I was a veteran, I wasn't doing anything wrong, just trying to get to work.

It’s time.

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/...

Since President Trump's second inauguration, the number of local police departments agreeing to coordinate with ICE has grown by more than 600%. Deputizing police to be deportation agents doesn't make us safer. Communities nationwide are fighting back. 

Stripping people of their U.S. citizenship in the name of making the electorate more “American” is arguably one of the most un-American acts imaginable. Stay informed on the latest issues impacting U.S. democracy by subscribing to The Briefing, our free weekly newsletter: bit.ly/3Yrz5jM

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released. “And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

I just want to note how deeply scary it is that we're learning about murdered survivors only because of a Washington Post article. Congress has been asleep at the wheel.

BREAKING: The FBI has paid nearly $1 million in overtime to redact the Epstein files, per Snopes.

JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election. As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

These 2 headlines sum up the last year.

Trump being Trump. Making up shit as he goes.

We’re in a hell of a lot of trouble.

You know what to do.

Putin: ‘Russia is ready to keep fighting until the last Ukrainian dies.’ Western politicians & press: ‘Peace talks have stalled…’ Russia has zero interest in peace. Calling Kremlin demands for Ukrainian surrender ‘peace talks’ is just another way of spreading their propaganda.

NEW: Trump just called JD Vance incompetent.

One issue is the constitution being written by educated men, imagined that future citizens and leaders would be as educated as them or more, and that therefore their future was always going to be one that respected unwritten but agreed upon centuries of English legal tradition

Priorities from the dude pretending to be president. 🙄

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

Kylie Cheung at Abortion, Every Day writes about the future anti-abortion extremists want: "One in which we’re not just stripped of our most basic rights, but also deemed crazy for fighting back—even just for pointing out what’s being done to us."

Why the Department of Education is making a huge mistake.
