"The hospital was understaffed, and people in the camp were so anemic that they couldn’t get enough blood donations. [Dr.] Otieno had twice donated himself while he was midsurgery in order to save a pregnant woman’s life." @annamaria.bsky.social on the real-world damage done by Trump's aid cuts:

I was thinking about Miss Rachel. About how, through no fault of her own, she has become controversial. Does anyone else remember Sherri Finkbine of Romper Room in 1962? She had taken thalidomide and had to leave the country to get an abortion. She made a moral choice and adults lost their mind.

Biden's head of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Michael Hsu just joined a venture capital firm with several crypto clients that were under legal trouble during the Biden administration. Sheesh. From our friends at @revolvingdoordc.bsky.social: prospect.org/2025/12/18/a...

"The idea that neutral rules can’t be employed cynically is honestly baffling. A cursory glance at America’s racial history shows that lots of seemingly neutral rules and evaluation procedures were adopted because they could be used as plausibly deniable tools of racial exclusion."

The supreme court has fallen.

The Oregon legislature should drop this tax break available to rich investors- The Qualified Small Business Stock. Instead of helping small businesses, this ridiculous tax break makes investors in giant companies like Uber or Zoom wealthier in Oregon. Read our analysis here: https://bit.ly/3Y6LYA3

The co-founder of Kalshi says: " The long-term vision is to financialize everything and create a tradable asset out of any difference in opinion."

@GovJanetMills says she’s the progressive choice for Maine’s Senate race. But her record as governor tells a different story. She vetoed farmworker protections, renter safeguards, tribal sovereignty bills, a wealth-tax, and even pocket vetoed a statewide rape-kit tracking system.

Seriously great piece that takes an extra step beyond data center demand and other factors and looks at the regulatory structure that is making your power bill go up. Read it! prospect.org/2025/12/03/l...

9. But increasingly, we’re watching the language of “inclusivity” get twisted into a justification for excluding LGBTQ+ people—and the so-called “big tent” shrink to accommodate only those who believe transgender rights belong outside it. Gallego is a part of that increasing problem.

I talked to @chrislhayes.bsky.social about our new book showing how the endemic corruption of the Trump Era is the culmination of a secret 50-year MASTER PLAN. We also discuss how this corruption can be stopped. Find the discussion on your podcast app. Find the book at LeverNews.com/book

“There's a campaign being waged by elite strategists in the Democratic Party to move the party to the right based off of their belief that issue positions can save the Democratic Party.” From On the Media: The Battle for the Future of the Democratic Party, Nov 21, 2025

Oregon Democratic Congresswoman Andrea Salinas voted for the Republican resolution "Denouncing the horrors of socialism" that conflates all forms of socialism with totalitarianism on the same day that ICE detained her 17-year-old U.S. citizen constituent in McMinnville.
