The titular wokeness being rolled back is the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Quid Pro Quo

Requiring temporary visitors to surrender five years of social media to the U.S. sends the message that the American commitment to free speech is pretense. This simply is not the behavior of a country confident in its freedoms. It's a threat to free speech around the world and must be opposed.

Just showing prices isn’t gonna help shit. Seeing the price of gas or the price of groceries or, a more apt analogy, the price of utilities does not LOWER those prices. It’s healthcare. You pay what they demand for what you need because the alternative is paying for a funeral.

What could possibly go wrong

Literally decreeing that one can use “men” but not “women.” How incredible.

ALERT: blue line trains are single tracking because of a great miracle occurring at Metro Center

WOW. So this is obviously a huge violation of this man's rights, and it illustrates a few things we're seeing broadly: - DHS officers are ignoring peoples' IDs and instead requiring screening through their own systems - Confirms @404media.co's reports of use of DHS's facial recognition app.

The Coasties are going to fly pirate flags now, right?

Funny how they claim the economy is booming, then turn around and blame Biden for it being terrible. Both cannot be true at the same time.

Me at 9 a.m.: "Looks like a slow news day. Not much content for the next couple of days." Me at 6 p.m.: Finishes editing sixth story of the day, bald spots from pulling hair out.

Brett Kavanaugh's "minor inconvience" now includes beating people up and cutting off their wedding rings for [checks notes] "observing ICE from a distance."

THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE SKIPPED A GANG OF EIGHT MEETING????!!!!

You can tell E-day is getting close

Does this look like a president or a dictator?

America for sale

When I was a judicial law clerk in Montana, Pres Bush flew into the Billings airport for a rally. I wanted to see Air Force One and asked the judge I clerked for if I could go. He said no, that it wouldn’t be appropriate. And I was just a clerk. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/u...

Cool Now we're pirates

"Can she help unite a fractured America?" When CBS and Bari Weiss show you who they really are...

The ECHR was set up after WWII to ensure that fascism never again arose in Europe. Why do the right want to curb/limit/leave/abolish the ECHR? Because it does what it was intended to do, that's why...

On the internet, age verification doesn't know you're a dog.

NEW: Pentagon lawyers asked State Dept. if US could send survivors of Trump's boat strikes to a notorious prison in El Salvador. Then Pentagon pushed to have survivors sent anywhere but the US — to prevent any US court cases. Gift link to our @nytimes.com story: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/u...

Trump says reporting on his health is "seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean 'THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.' They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it."

War on Christmas

BREAKING: Democrats have *flipped* a seat in Georgia's state House tonight. Democrat Eric Gisler has won the seat, which was previously held by a Republican who resigned this fall. This is a red territory: Trump won the district by 13% in 2024.

Police arrived due to reports of vandalism and seemed somewhat confused when they found volunteers openly painting missing crosswalks.

i asked chat gpt to fact check an article for me

That's less than most deductibles HSAs are bullshit. It's just a way for the C-suite to pad their retirement savings.

No such thing as too much Lady Vols basketball coverage. Click for column at Knox TN Today. #ladyvols

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker signed a law prohibiting federal officials from taking enforcement actions against immigrants near courthouses, in hospitals, on college campuses or in day care facilities.

I honestly had to double check to make sure this wasn’t @theonion.com or @nytpitchbot.bsky.social and nope we just live in hell

This is a white supremacist rally. Anyone who attends something like this or still supports the leader of this movement should be unwelcome in your home and shunned from civil society. Period. We’re way past the point where this crap should be tolerated from anyone. Cast them out.

Eileen Higgins was elected Miami's next mayor on Tuesday, according to the Associated Press, making her the first Democrat to win the post in nearly 30 years and defeating President Trump's endorsed pick. www.axios.com/local/miami/...

Rep. Thanedar has filed two articles of impeachment against Hegseth, one for "murder and conspiracy to murder" and the other for "reckless and unlawful mishandling of classified information." 🧵 (Full disclosure: I was happy to consult a bit on drafting this.)

If you’re a billionaire or one of Trump’s family members, then this economy is great. For everyone else, prices are up, wages are flat, and families are getting screwed.

Code of Conduct for United States Judges, Canon 5: "A judge should not . . . attend or purchase a ticket for a dinner or other event sponsored by a political organization or candidate... A judge should not engage in any other political activity." (All judges receive training on this.)

Lies. Why doesn't the network cut away to a chart like this farmdocdaily.illinois.edu/2025/11/us-c...

What if all 350 million of us were in one pool? Wouldn't that result in even better pricing?

Prototype of the Turning Point Youth uniform

Oh neat. This was called the Komsomol in the Soviet Union

Yes, and what if your access to affordable healthcare was considered a right guaranteed to everyone by the government and not a bauble of certain types of employment or friggin club store membership? What then?

The issue at stake in 1686 was whether the king was bound by the law. How are we back here again?

The best reading of this article: Trump is going to use FDA to restrict medication abortion, but he wants to wait until after the midterms so the Republicans don't experience blowback. But that just makes the midterms more important. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Face recognition is too dangerous for police use and undermines individual privacy. That's why Axon's new test integrating this tech into body-worn cameras is such an alarming development. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
