This is sinister. If you're wondering why so many people don't report sexual assault, this is why.

I think it’s a reflection of their own attitudes. Both Biden and they were trying to live in a fantasy where those 4 years were a return to normalcy as opposed to the most urgent moment in American history to preserve what was left of democracy.

Judges who ruled against Trump say harassment and threats have changed their lives More than 100 pizzas were delivered to the homes of judges and their families this year, some with signs of foreign involvement. Judges say the message is clear: We know where you live.

There's an audio recording of him, not an aide, asking for votes to swing a state in a Presidential election and that wasn't enough to get him locked up or even keep him from the White House

This isn't democracy and it's not how things have always been, even 50 years ago it wasn't like this, a dictatorship of the rich.

Across the nation, families are gathering in joy and safety, thanks to those who fought for our freedom. What did veterans get as a holiday gift from the President? A targeted, dangerous abortion ban, issued quietly overnight. It's unconscionable. This entire administration should be ashamed.

Friendly reminder…

UPDATE: CNN confirms that "the envelope [holding the Epstein-Nassar Note] was sent from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City [where Epstein was being held] to Nassar"—*and* got vetted by federal officials. Which explains the Virginia postmark (where the FBI is).

Remember when Obama was president for 8 years and we didn’t have to sift through troves of tampered files to find out if he was just a sex pest towards “barely legal” girls or an actual sadistic pedophile who had his buddy pick kids from summer camp? Get this freak out of the WH. What the fuck, man

get everyone gambling on their phone and then charge them for losing is actually pretty funny

On DOGE’s watch, federal spending did not go down at all. It went up. But is still led to cuts that closed offices, canceled programs and deprived people of food, medicine and other aid. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/u...

Sean Duffy says he now has veto power over appropriations passed by Congress and signed into law. He is the dictator over infrastructure funds. If you do something he doesn’t like, you lose the funds passed by Congress. bsky.app/profile/atru...

It really should be this simple - we need to tax billionaires like we tax lottery winners. #TaxBillionaires

I feel like this story needs to be added to the Crazy Archive Stories thread. Not every archive is in An Archive and all kinds of cool data can be found in surprising places.

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house. This is where America is now

500+ treaties broken.

He is covering up extrajudicial killings. He is covering up kidnapping, trafficking & horrific detention. He is covering up child rapes. He is covering up stealing classified documents & selling them. He is covering up details of his coup attempt. He is covering up who he’s really working for.

From 2018 to 2024, the tax rate paid by eight major retailers was slashed from 30% to just 17.5%. The CEOs of those major retailers were paid a collective $1.3 billion. Meanwhile, the average worker at those stores was paid less than $32,000 in 2024. Nothing trickled down.

Not to mention most Americans are paying a higher tax rate for what? Currently any benefits of our federal taxes that we pay have been stripped by republicans and the money is being laundered to the republican donors through privatizing everything subsidized by our tax dollars.

And they get delivered with the healthcare plans

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas. It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

This made me laugh 🤦🏻‍♂️ Not in a funny, haha kind of way More like: moscow has signed countless documents affirming 🇺🇦’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and even security (Budapest Memorandum, anyone?) By the standards russia itself has set, this reads like a declaration of war on Europe/NATO

Gunfights every odd tuesday at the town square

Bill Clinton just called on Trump to release the full Epstein Files, including all documents mentioning both Trump and Clinton. “Refusal to do so will confirm the widespread suspicion the DOJ’s actions to date are not about transparency, but about insinuation.”

Sorry guys. If you had actually been “our own” instead of getting friendly with our enemies trying to kill our neighbors and our families, maybe you wouldn’t be getting attacked now, food for thought. www.cnn.com/2025/12/21/p...

COLORADO — Trump rejects a federal disaster relief request, because the state is run by Democrats. Sen. Bennet: “Trump continues to use Coloradans for political games; it is malicious and obscene.” www.denver7.com/news/local-n...

tonight the government killed a story on cbs about the slave labor camp in a foreign country theyre illegally sending people to

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

The story is insane. The acting head of cyber security, a Noem crony, repeatedly demanded to see highly classified information he didn’t need access to, and when staff set up a lie detector test as a condition to grant him access, he failed it. So DHS suspended the staffers.

Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

One more lie amongst the thousands told.

“Americans are increasingly hungry for Italian piazzas, Spanish plazas, French places, & similar squares around the globe. But the joy of experiencing life in these public squares leaves some travelers disappointed when they return to the States.” Don’t let ANYONE tell you it HAS to be that way.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Trump's in the Epstein files over 600 times.

The rate of return here is crazy: for a few hundred thousand dollars, this lab produces literally billions of oysters and supports a seafood industry worth hundreds of millions. And the Trump administration is just like "fuck all that, it's wasteful spending, you're fired"

All of these links went to promotion of this story earlier today. All these links are dead now — that's how thoroughly they've scrubbed this.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

I can't unsee this.

"Babies in the randomized, controlled trial will or will not receive the vaccine at birth... "It is a breach of scientific ethics to withhold an intervention that has been proven safe and effective." www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

that’s kinda weird syntax in the second paragraph, no?

“President Donald Trump has threatened to withhold congressionally authorized funding from the Smithsonian Institution if it does not hand over extensive internal records, as part of a White House push to influence how U.S. history is presented.” This dumbass intends to rewrite history.

the customer service person i spoke to on the phone today thanked me for not yelling at her; she said most people are understandably upset when they call. be kind to customer service people- they probably didn’t cause your problem, but they’re most likely the the person who’s going to fix it.
