Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media. Off the top of my head: www.thehandbasket.co 404media.co www.garbageday.email Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.

lakota ppl were and native women more generally were in the 80+% range voting for harris. the op to divide idle no more activism in canada (anti me too, depp trial, etc etc) is about suppressing indigenous voting here also. it's huge bc indigenous ppl have been weaponizing the vote

Better than any of the AI movies posted this past week. Drama > Effects. (I know it’s a parody, but you want to see more don’t you? I didn’t care to see another frame of the Spidey or Brad Pitt vs Tom Cruise AI)

One thing AI has revealed is that there are a whole lot of people who have neither interesting ideas nor the talent to express them, and apparently not even any real will or desire to cultvate either of these things… but still for some reason desperately want to be regarded as artists.

Thread of some services/software I'm using instead of various billionaire-owned surveillance/fascist/"A.i." trash products: For my newsletters, @buttondown.com. Does the job! Great customer service - usually get personalized responses within 24 hours. (Never gonna join Substack.)

There was a time when this would’ve ended someone’s political future. Now it’s just another story.

In govts around the world, people in the Epstein files are resigning in disgrace. In private business, executives in the files are resigning in disgrace. In the Trump admin, nothing happens since the boss is in the files more than anyone and his party is filled with cowards.

Jayapal asks Epstein survivors in hearing room to stand and raise hands if they still haven't been able to meet with Bondi's DOJ. Every single one of them doe. Jayapal then gives Bondi an opportunity to apologize. She responds by trying to attack Jayapal and Merrick Garland but doesn't apologize.

If Democrats haven't announced their proposal for the Donald Trump No Guns in Public bill by the end of the day, they're missing an easy shot

One thing I think it notable here is that Weiss talks about being for "the center." She's doing that thing that Elon Musk does where he goes, "Actually, my views are moderate. I don't get why people say I'm far-right." It's an effort to shift public perception of what "center" or "moderate" means.

Kash didn’t get the memo about this narrative

"DHS has suspended Gregory Bovino’s access to his social media accounts effective immediately," CNN reports

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

The Trump administration’s obsessions coming together today, as AG Bondi sends Gov Walz a letter after federal agents kill Alex Pretti demanding Minnesota hand sensitive voter roll information over to the feds.

There has been an increasing sense in Minneapolis that we are on our own, that our elected representatives are unwilling and/or unable to take action to get these murderous Nazi thugs out of our community. I really hope that changes today. The time for pleading TV hits ended weeks ago.

The seven Democratic representatives who voted yes to approve ICE funding were: Tom Suozzi (New York) Henry Cuellar (Texas) Don Davis (North Carolina) Laura Gillen (New York) Jared Golden (Maine) Vicente Gonzalez (Texas) Marie Glusenkamp Perez (Washington)

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...

one of the strangest and most frustrating things about being alive today is that we have science and research on basically every issue, but it always gets pushed aside in favor of some guy who thought about it for one minute and thinks he knows the answer

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

I wish they would all literally just start laughing at him. Just literally point and laugh. That would bother him more than anything else atp

@darickr.bsky.social with the final season of The Boys coming up, I just rewatched the series and reread the comics. God damn you did a LOT of amazing and hard work. Do you ever look back on it and feel proud/exhausted? It’s inspiring. Thanks for working so hard on it.

hard not to notice that as trump's polls crater and gop gets crushed in election after election, news orgs are not racing around hiring progressive commenters and boasting about how they're reaching out to real americans by following the will of the volk.

Good morning Bluesky !

This is @gettymuseum.bsky.social photographer www.instagram.com/john_abernat... John Abernathy. He tossed his camera to another photographer so it wouldn't be confiscated, while he put his life in danger to take photos of ICEstapo. Go to his Instagram. This is American journalism as it should be.

He’s turned the presidency into the world’s largest ATM machine.

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

If I was the commander in chief of the Imperial hegemon I would simply not dismantle the network of military and diplomatic alliances, favourable trade deals, and broad cultural paramountcy that had made my nation the most wealthy and powerful the world has ever seen.

Fake videos are a problem but the bigger problem is a lack of shared consensus and values

You’re right—swallowing the bird was a half-measure. The bird did eat the spider, as planned, but now you have a bird in you. It reminds you of swallowing the spider to catch the fly. You’re seeing the pattern. Would you like me to suggest some animals which could eat the bird?

Unintentionally the funniest thing he's ever said

We are at 0️⃣ days without ICE shooting a civilian

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

Dean Martin, born Dino Paul Crocetti, son of Italian immigrant Gaetano Crocetti Frank Sinatra, son of Italian immigrants Antonino Sinatra and Natalina Garavanta Merry Christmas to everyone except Stephen Miller and his enablers and handlers
