Please confirm this is true so I can have a good Christmas.

Bonnie doesn’t even know she’s getting a present tomorrow.

What is fake about the letter from Epstein to Nasser. The contents? As in, Epstein wrote lies? The entire letter? As in somebody pretended to be Epstein wrote a letter to Larry Nasser?

People always wonder why they’re doing it. I have wondered why they’re doing it. This is the answer. There is SO much money to be made.

The AG is *supposed* to be the people’s lawyer, not the president’s. This is outrageous. It also indicates Trump feels that he needs protection from Epstein file disclosures.

The thing about the National Guard at least here in DC is that their presence at Union Station etc. is being used to have federal and city police deployed more aggressively in places that are out of sight.

Oh yuck. That's awful.

Super 🧵 Even Marx knew, Russia has never been anything but a genocidal expansionist empire.

Um Colorado folks? Is this a good thing? Next year's Colorado Legislature is 25% appointed not elected. I'm not a fan.

Hey Twin Cities - today our governor and both mayors announced that HSI - the feds - have over 400 agents in town for a two week push starting tomorrow. Christmas Eve. If Christ hadn't risen he'd be rolling in his fucking grave.

Oh. I hope this starts a real discussion about the specificity of American hate and how it will apply to tech

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.

This is exactly why I’m not a fan of his movies.

Watching Raul Malo/Mavericks clips and feeling so sad he’s dead. But also so happy he lived and made so much great music. He had such a truly beautiful voice.

Just discovered a painting that really hit me, especially here in the Christmas season. For those not Christian, after Christ was born, Mary and Joseph had to flee to Egypt to protect their baby from political persecution.

This guy should actually be kicked out but I guess it’s a start.

I asked Mr RBR why he started dating me and he responded ‘cuz you were funny and hot.’ lol. He’s definitely getting some tonight.

And of course I’m talking about Dory here, lol. Forgot to mention who ‘she’ is.

You know that scene in finding Nemo, when she gets all those flashbacks in about 2 seconds and she remembers? When I found out I had cancer, I had that same experience, only it was a full body experience. I knew it was ‘the fight’ that got me cancer, and I had to lay my weapons down.

My forays in 1940s higher ed have highlighted for me just how much wwii put everything at a standstill in people's lives. I'm also learning a ton about artists who were drafted, what they did while in the military, and how they attempted to get back to civilian art afterwards.

W. H. A. T.

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

Important context here: when Peter Thiel and David Sacks began their war on diversity as undergrads at Stanford, thirty years ago, the very first tactic they adopted was to normalize slurs that had already been stigmatized out of mainstream society. This return of these hateful terms was a key goal.

Never saw it, just like I never see Christopher Nolan movies.

I had an entire thread about the problems with how we talk about shingles the other day.

Got my second shingles shot this morning. The first shot, I had a pharmacist telling me about her friend that got shingles in their eyes and how it went into their brain and down their spinal column. This one went on and on about how the second shot gives you a terrible reaction that knocks you down

This entire situation is beyond fucked up. This is why they won’t take their own paper work, like Real ID, which requires multiple documents as proof to get. They want to be able to challenge citizenship through individual means, which is harder to prove.

He’s making people ‘illegal’ by cancelling their paperwork. Do folks understand this has never been about ‘doing it the right way’ or ‘following the law’?

Reminder that the head of the NIH is an economist who has never conducted NIH-funded research, spent years doing paid speaking engagements for far-right extremist groups, & is best known for a study where he committed serious ethical violations & ended up wrong by greater than an order of magnitude.

Helping a baby in the Holy Land seems like a good thing to do this season ❤️

Oh look he did a ‘Martin Luther Coon….oop! I mean King!’ move here. Whoever said white supremacists aren’t funny.

Imagine interviewing a victim of torture and independently confirming the details of his torture and then being told you can’t broadcast it because the people who ordered the torture wouldn’t give their side of the story.

This makes the 60 Minutes story far, far worse. Bari Weiss is monstrous. zeteo.com/p/bari-weiss...

When police returned Reggie Williams’ wallet, an officer told him: Don’t do anything bad and keep your ID on you. To Williams, the warning echoed a slavery-era requirement that free African Americans carry documents to prove they weren’t enslaved. (Published Nov. with @mlk50.com)

Actual real journalists have been reporting on this murderous fascist for many years. If she speaks positively of him, it is bcz she is also a fascist that supports his murderous regime.

DHS said that accusations of abuses in Camp East Montana are “clickbait.” But 911 emergency calls from the massive detention center I obtained paint a different picture, with emergency being made for life-threatening illnesses and acute mental health crises. My story:

Surgery is 12/31. I expect to be in bed for week at minimum during recovery.

I admit, I don’t get it. How can he be in the negative on every single measurement except Rs, who wildly approve of him. Are there no Rs in any of those categories? Yes, I got a D- in statistics. No, I’m not kidding.

Happy to see my fetish show up on Heated Rivalry. 🤓

Looking for the truth about what it was like inside CECOT? Earlier this year, we spoke to the men the Trump administration deported to El Salvador. Hear about what they endured, in their own words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8INs141xeQ

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

watching the CECOT 60 Minutes segment that CBS suppressed, it’s striking that Weiss specifically called out as unnecessary some of the most rigorous investigative work in the segment, including an explanation of how it was done (by human rights researchers)

Lots of people up in arms about RFK Jr. gutting vaccines, but who don't make a peep as trans youth healthcare gets banned. Funny that.

Let's pull the number up to the top: $75 billion per year That's the economic cost of taking Nobel prize-winning, life saving technology and chucking it in the trash as a vice signal
