House Dems go to Lansing to put people first. House Republicans didn't get that memo, yanking back $645M in already approved funding. This heartless decision puts vital community services at risk and leaves MI wondering whose priorities come first.

History will record that Kimmel and Colbert were among the shining brave lights of our time.

CBS has become state regime media.

Thou shalt boycott CBS (Censorship Broadcast System)

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism. That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Y’all, look at this handmade ornament I won in the gift draw yesterday! Isn’t it gorgeous? It was made by one of the founders of @rainbowcrosswalk.bsky.social 🏳️‍🌈 For those wanting to know how to make this magic: suzyquilts.com/fabric-star-...

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all. And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

why am I not surprised?

wow...

sometimes things are too broken for repair

where there's a will, there's a way to see the files...

Pres Joe & his team inherited a mess and made the US the envy of the world and then...

great at the cons & grifts horrible at being humans

Jack Smith is on it Go Jack!

So expensive to have basic needs in the usa

Sigh...

If you think switching which corporate owned legacy media outlet you consume is the solution, you don't really understand how deep the problem is. It's not just ABS, CBS, WaPo or the LA Times. It's the system in which they work. The only solution is to support pro-democracy independent media.

Support independent media.

Betty Reid Soskin, the National Park Service’s oldest ranger, has died. She was 104.

This has been the hardest year yet bloodshed, bans, restrictions and roadblocks at every turn. Some of our plans were frozen due to govt policy, but I’m incredibly proud of all we achieved. Thank you for standing with us. 🙏🐾 youtu.be/KPpBkIYh0tw

That’s suspicious. That’s weird.

Austin Pets Alive had 145K volunteer hours pre COVID, but that number has dropped to 85K. If you are looking for a New Year's resolution, may I recommend volunteering? We have something for everyone. Animal care, greeters, facility care, laundry, making enrichment, data entry, clinic support...

CBS News(max) is officially cooked. Bari Weiss killed a whole-ass network.

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.

We’d like to share a remembrance for Betty Reid Soskin, the oldest serving National Park Service ranger in the country, who has passed away. Her life and work helped preserve history, expand whose stories are told, and inspire generations to come.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Mike Johnson has lost control of the House, as we continue to push through petitions to force the votes he tries so hard to run from. Congress may be closed for the Holiday, but their inboxes aren’t. Let’s flood them with messages and urge them to vote yes on extending ACA tax credits!

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Today, French lawmakers unanimously approved a bill exonerating women punished for abortion before it was legalized in 1975. This "is an act of justice toward those thousands of lives shattered by unjust laws," said Aurore Bergé, minister-delegate for gender equality.

"Alex Kleytman, an 87-year-old Ukrainian Holocaust survivor, was celebrating Hanukkah with his wife of 57 years, Larisa Kleytman, also a Holocaust survivor, when the attack began. He was killed while shielding Larisa from the bullets with his own body." www.timesofisrael.com/chabad-rabbi...

Rob Reiner religion note: One of his last film projects was “God & Country,” a documentary released last year based on Katherine Stewart’s book. The film turned a critical lens toward Christian nationalism. Disclosure: I know this, because I’m in it. www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2...

We staffed the entire FBI with guys who only make memes and podcasts, hope that doesn't affect our ability to respond to major crimes

The traitor United States is demanding that Ukraine hand over the Donbas region to Russia during the Berlin “negotiations.” According to the German foreign ministry the US is coordinating with Russia. The Donbas region is militarily essential for Russia to launch a 3rd invasion.

This is a logical conclusion, yes

This is a real headline on the New York Times website. Support independent media.

In case you missed yesterday's great news! AOC slams the GOP--you gotta see this:

Maybe this wasn’t the best idea.

The titans of artificial intelligence have fired the first shot in a regulatory battle poised to dominate the 2026 midterms, and the industry’s prospects for victory are already looking good.

The word "retarded" was once an accepted medical term before it became an insult, was gradually phased out, and has now been revived by Musk and Trump.

📽️ WATCH: After a bird flu outbreak tore through Midwestern barns, which led to 18 million hens being killed and a spike in egg prices, the Department of Agriculture didn’t investigate whether the virus was airborne. But ProPublica did. @natlash.bsky.social breaks it down: propub.li/4iVcYfD

Suspect still at large in the Brown University shooting. Suspects in the Stockton shooting are still at large too, and that was weeks ago. This is what happens when experienced FBI agents are fired. Thousands were reassigned to pursue law-abiding undocumented immigrants.

The ACLU has posted 17 sworn declarations from people locked up at the Trump Adminstration's largest immigrant prison camp, at Fort Bliss in Texas. In World War Two, the same site was called the "Fort Bliss Enemy Alien Detention Station." Read the declarations here: www.aclu.org/documents/fo...
