goddammit the post is just doing this to get my money (and it works)

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

good morning

A since-deleted tweet by former KKK grand wizard David Duke is nearly identical to the statement today made by Vice President JD Vance

These are the people who are willing to go on the record. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/u...

Hey, just curious. What "business" was Jeffrey Epstein a "leader" of in 2011?

Truly North Korea territory

🚨 NYT DROP: "Don's Best Friend" exposé re: Trump & Epstein. "The president has tried to minimize their friendship, but documents & interviews reveal an intense & complicated relationship. Chasing women was a game of ego and dominance. Female bodies were currency." 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/u...

LMFAO. OFC David Brooks is in the Epstein files. Ahahahahaha

House Dems have released more photos provided to the oversight committee from Jeffrey Epstein's estate. More images of Woody Allen, Noam Chomsky, Steve Bannon, Bill Gates in this batch. New to this batch: David Brooks and David Blaine.

In addition to guffawing at the @nytimes.com desperate spin, I am also deeply amused that the guy who's been scolding Dems for our elitist sandwiches and ivory tower attitudes is just partying with billionaires at invite-only events. What a fucking fraudulent clown (this is not news, of course)

I'm not even going to repost a screengrab of his post about Rob Reiner but man it really needs to be said every single day: Trump truly is the biggest piece of shit in the world, a man of absolutely no good qualities and seemingly limitless bad ones. Support for him is just so damning.

Just heard about this and I feel sick. What a horrible and gruesome end to a horrible and gruesome year. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/12...

​Late to this, but I strongly recommend this beautiful piece by the great @tomandlorenzo.bsky.social about the transgender legend, Harlow. www.inquirer.com/life/a/harlo...

27-year-old Honduran man with end-stage renal failure denied dialysis until he signed a voluntary deportation order. Abolish DHS completely. Arrest most of its leaders.

VA Democrats are on top of it. Sounds like Mikie Sherrill and NJ Dems are thinking about it. www.politico.com/news/2025/12... MD, NY, and IL and all other blue states not named CA should be moving heaven and earth to make this happen to save our democracy.

I am humbly requesting that lawmakers in every Democratic-controlled state spend every waking hour between now and Christmas cooking up new congressional district maps that draw Republicans out of electoral existence

be the bitch doing something yourself that you want to see in the world

Really appreciate the clarity of the president saying black people are ruining the country and this entire room of groveling empty suits saying nothing bsky.app/profile/just...

i'd go even further and say there is a reason even nixon kept this kind of stuff to himself. you would have to go back quite a bit to find a point at which is acceptable for a president to say anything like this *in public*, to say nothing of in the oval office.

this is not ok. this stuff can never be normal. Don't ever get desensitized to this kind of hate.

Trump just pardoned a dude who was convicted of using his position as president of Honduras to help cartels smuggle 400 tons of cocaine into the US, but keep going ICE Barbie.

"I'm going to tax the everloving shit out of the rich people who made your life miserable and put every masked thug who broke the law or traitor who wrecked the government for their own profit in prison" I admit is too long for a sign, but at the very least this should be the spirit of the thing.

FYI Cliff is scheduled to be the next artist featured on Andrew Hickey's great @500songspodcast.bsky.social podcast. I know little about Cliff beyond his wonderful music and that classic movie so I'm especially eager for that episode

RIP to one of the great ones. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/a...

Unemployment among Black women is now at 7.5% — rising for the third straight month. I'm in Boston today to sound the alarm and discuss how we can address the impact of this crisis in Massachusetts and beyond. www.facebook.com/share/v/17jv...

So Bezos is in them too then?

I admit to still being fond of the idea of a pope who has at some point taken in a matinee at the Music Box.

Is anything noirer than a blackout? Than not knowing what you’ve done, or what you’re going to get for it? Blackout Noir is a brilliantly conceived programme on Criterion, thanks to @selfstyledsiren.bsky.social & @glennkenny.bsky.social. And Black Angel (1946) is aces, it really sucker punched me

Black Angel also has two great noir montages: a countdown to a death sentence, with a whirling clock, whizzing courtroom scenes, and spinning newspaper headlines; and Dan Duryea’s barcrawl, which ends with this shot, which I will be using for memes

Never has there been a case of more "good fucking riddance," but it's not unamusing that they're hightailing it right after the first snow storm hit. Chicago has a built-in defense against unserious jagoffs and it's called winter.

Republicans constantly attack their Congressional leadership, and they remove leaders who fail to achieve the objectives desired by the base. This 'infighting' hasn't been a 'distraction' or 'weakness' for them, it has produced victory after victory, including control of all three branches.

Yup, and the damage isn’t so much in the story as in the proof of weakness. Trump now knows he has new torture tools to make Dems do what he wants. It’s why at least one of the 7 capitulators oughta be run out of office now, mid session. Get that number down to 6. www.offmessage.net/p/16-thought...

thinking back to when eric cantor got knocked out in a primary in 2014

Any Democratic senator, at any moment, could've derailed this by calling for Schumer's replacement and casting their colleagues as MAGA collaborators, thereby shifting the Overton window. But they're all in on it. This was always a team effort.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

@schumer.senate.gov let people go weeks without paychecks, let families lose access to SNAP and vital programs, all for nothing. No concessions, no vision, no fight. And now they’ll ask us to work tirelessly to flip Congress next year, but why should anyone trust they’ll do better?

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Hey just a reminder that it only takes 23 Senate Democrats to remove and replace Chuck Schumer as minority leader. They don't do it because the majority of Senate Democrats approve of the way he does politics.

The only Dem senators voting to cave on the shutdown fight are either retiring or not up for reelection this cycle. Might be Dems' most beautifully synchronized cave yet

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.
