Nina Jankowicz: “They’re not doing this because they have any evidence of censorship — they lost a Supreme Court case that made those claims… They’re doing this because the group of researchers and advocates have stood up to liars like Donald Trump and the platforms that enable them.”

This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.

James Cameron: "I have an idea for a movie the message of which is that colonialism could have been thwarted if natives just let well meaning white people appropriate their culture, bang their women, and lead them into battle." Studio: "Here's a trillion dollars so you can make it seven times."

Ever notice how they never ask the queer kids how disappointed or angry they feel about their parents' gross bigotry? 🤔

Banks collapse economy MAGA: Bail them out! Auto & Airline Industries on brink of bankruptcy MAGA: Bail them out! Housing collapse about to wreck economy MAGA: Bail them out! Low income students suffer crushing debt MAGA: Garnish their wages! MAGAs serve 800 billionaires to destroy 45M students

This is disgraceful. They should be at home with their families. Instead, Trump is forcing them to walk around in the cold for his fascist national security theater. DC is absolutely dead this time of year. There’s nobody here to “terrorize.” Just pathetic all around.

okay!!!

Proud Boy leader & convicted/pardoned seditious conspirator Enrique Tarrio tweeted out a link to an hour long video by a white nationalist in which she and her co-host read Chapter 2 of Mein Kampf aloud. At the end, their gloss was that even Hitler wasn't totally bought in on hating Jews, at first.

"Lake Research Partners and Project LPAC, the research arm of the only organization dedicated to electing LGBTQ women and non-binary candidates, found that 43 percent of voters were more likely to vote for a candidate who stands up for transgender people."

GM global sales are already down 40% in the last 10 years. We are into the final years of the US motor car industry.

The leaders of the US auto industry had a difficult path towards relevancy, only by leaning on the support of Biden's IRA. They've decided to throw that away, juice some ICE profits for a few more years, and let their successors deal with the incipient crisis of global uncompetitiveness

It's funny how us parochial Americans generally seem to perceive that the EV revolution is stalling or reversing when in fact it's accelerating rapidly worldwide. 25% of cars sold globally in 2025 were EVs! It's mostly just the US that's being left behind

“Hey kids, need a seasonal job? Come cover up crimes for Christmas.”

He is promising, on camera, to break his oath to the Constitution by illegally and unconstitutionally usurping the exclusive authority of Congress. Sprinkle in a little 'blowing up the Union' to boot

I love that he's explaining the housing crisis from the landlord perspective

Yes. That’s why I say “don’t stop commenting” on SCOTUS decisions and practices. It matters.

this image is maybe the single greatest joke in TRADING PLACES. and also a pretty apt description of the trump/vance/national conservative vision of america

Just another afternoon thinking about how Florida doesn’t have a state labor department (because Jeb Bush abolished it) and how the state’s minimum wage is basically left up to an honor system because the state takes little action to enforce it. www.orlandoweekly.com/news/florida...

Is this why so many "there's so much crime" news stories rely on talking about things like shoplifting, porch pirates, the homeless, people using drugs in public, etc?

The Trump admin has sanctioned five individuals for being part of the “censorship industrial complex”: the Orwellian misnomer for efforts to combat harassment and disinfo online. It’s an escalation of a clear trend: weaponizing immigration laws to persecute First Amendment-protected activities.

the least shocking thing in the epstein files that wont get enough attention. police regularly arrest and charge victims to coerce them into participating, often jailing them in conditions that are worse.

The people who showed up to vote for a write-in dem candidate in a Trump+50 special election 2 days before Christmas are democracy's strongest soldiers.

Brett Kavanaugh (September 2025): The facts and how they relate to the law don’t matter. Assume ICE and other federal forces always act with integrity, always respect rights, and consistently impose minimal burden. Brett Kavanaugh (December 2025): Should I not have done that? Was that wrong?

TREACHERY: Canadian company airs factually accurate news report even though it makes Donald Trump look bad and one of his lackeys in media censored it in the US. NOT TREACHERY: Conspiring to overthrow Constitution. Rewarding Russian aggression against a US democratic partner. Taking foreign bribes.

NEW: By a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court blocks Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Chicago to assist immigration agents. A majority holds that he likely lacks authority to do so. Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

"More than 90% of cases were among people who were unvaccinated..Thousands more are making same calculations as Timmons family: filing for “conscientious exemptions” to vaccine mandates.." “Some people call us the ‘Measles Family’. I guess you could say our kids earned their immunity the hard way.”

Okay so she just killed a story investigating the concentration camp in a banana republic Trump is sending American residents to

In YouGov polling this week, less than half of Republicans said they strongly approved of Trump. www.ms.now/opinion/poll...

Wow! Letter from Epstein to a convicted sex offender Larry Nassar right before Epstein’s death. This was in the files the DOJ released last night and then removed from their site.

The entire american "free speech" panic was about elites being criticized, which is why anyone who ever took it seriously should be ignored forever

Take a step back and think about where we are, as a society, when someone can argue (plausibility, if not convincingly) that a president’s threat to invade and conquer his neighbors is a “distraction” from him being a pedophile.

They think the reason they’ve been made to feel ashamed is because they are white when actually it’s because they’re horrible & inadequate.

“In that same court document, it is revealed that Epstein took the then 14-year-old to Mar-a-Lago in 1994, where she was introduced to Donald Trump. According to the files, Epstein elbowed Trump playfully asking him, "This is a good one, right?" with Trump smiling and nodding in agreement.”

A public school bus driver decides to implement a discriminatory language policy against children… and the head of the Civil Rights Division thinks the driver did nothing wrong? Whew.

Landry rushed to clarify he isn't resigning as governor of Louisiana and this will be, like, his side gig I guess. The state constitution explicitly bans state officeholders from simultaneously holding any federal office.

Bari Weiss spiked the CECOT story because she wanted to have Stephen Miller included and demanded to control the language 60 Minutes used to describe the men who were brutally tortured after being sent to El Salvador without due process.

I refuse to shut up about this: NYC started charging $9 to bring a car into our most transit-rich zone, the haters & trolls predicted doom, but traffic evaporated instantly and here’s Times Square tonite (even after the holiday tourists have left). For a better future, build transit & price driving!

I think on some level conservative NIMBYs oppose more housing because they dislike the idea of young people having more choices in how their lives are going to unfold

Woman comes to US at age 6. Graduates nursing school. Work permit. No criminal record. Snatched and imprisoned by ICE for 6 months now. About to be forced back to Honduras. A life destroyed and one less nurse. Merry Christmas. www.nola.com/news/educati...

This photo, file 468, from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump has apparently now been removed from the DOJ release. AG Bondi, is this true? What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.

Vought is one of the top three or four enemies of the Constitution & American democracy. His removal from power is one of the highest priorities for any project of checking the dictatorship's lawless wielding of the vast powers of the state

Moyn in 2017: Trump isn't a threat to constitutional democracy. The courts will stop him. Liberals, and their "Tyrannophobia," are the real problem. Moyn in 2025: The Court is illegitimate and must be destroyed. Liberals, and their unwillingness to see this, are the real problem.

Not that it will but the willingness of Americans to obey is a very funny contrast with our self-image and should probably prompt some reflection bsky.app/profile/jonf...

“The government of the USA is controlled by a mob led by the criminally insane and the pathologically unscrupulous…Trumpism represents the fusion of the organs of propaganda and governance….[like] the totalitarian nightmares of the past century.” open.substack.com/pub/johnganz...

Where this is headed... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I've kept a pretty open mind to basically anything that explains how Epstein got away with what he got away with for so long, but I don't have a hard time believing it's ultimately some combination of "rich people are stupid and lazy" and "the law isn't actually real for sufficiently rich people."

In the 90s tech bubble there were companies that openly said they didn't know how they would make a profit that were still raising hundreds of millions with an IPO. People with money are often not very sharp.

OK, not really stolen, since it's $$ they already expected. But now it has a pretty red Christmas bow on it. Or maybe stolen, since it's not *on top of that money.* Lying for sure Trump Gives WARFIGHTERS 'Warrior Bonus' Checks Stolen From Their Military Housing $$$ www.wonkette.com/p/trump-give...

Americans reduced their planned holiday spend by $185 one year into The Great Recession. This year they’re cutting down by $229. That’s what an A+++ economy looks like.

Blanche of course was yelling this information over the din of shredders and people crying out in pain from hand cramps caused by excessive redacting.
