A country that had begun to make progress in believing women is regressing. In this environment, it becomes more and more difficult for victims to come forward, which means that the people committing crimes against them are going to get away with it. Again. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

There's your war on Christmas. The President waging personal wars to the world all day on Christmas. No fireside peace on earth chat. No seasons greeting to all Americans. Just a cryptic "enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas" message instead. It's this year's Twilight Zone Christmas Special.

Neither the New York Times nor the Washington Post published stories about Trump writing 200 unhinged posts on Christmas Day

In the spirit of the season, I want to offer my fellow historians and other scholars the gift of an amazing, largely untapped archive. Ladies and gentlemen, the John Doar Papers at Princeton. 🗃️

As a result, my study largely unfolds with major events in Mississippi and Alabama at the center. But of course there's so so much more here. And I really hope that other scholars explore those issues. (Indeed, my conscience is begging you to do the work I had to leave behind. Please.)

Thank you to these friends who mentioned me. Follow these incredible folks, they're awesome. 👇 @sassy0210.bsky.social @j1j2.bsky.social @alphacentauri53.bsky.social @pinkmouse.bsky.social @elitemauiteambldg.bsky.social @danielgamboa820.bsky.social @leadcoalition.bsky.social @fred2406.bsky.social

Irrespective of whether Jesus was a real person or not, the fact is the Bible states he was born in Bethlehem, Palestine to non-white parents & was of no fixed abode. He disliked the rich & spent his life advocating for the vulnerable & poor. Perhaps Christians should take note.

INDIANA - Republican senate majority floor leader Sen. Chris Garten posts AI slop pics of himself beating up Santa Claus. On Christmas. Your GOP, folks. 🎅

Tonight, my Uber driver said, “I never hear passengers say nice things about Donald Trump anymore. Several years ago, I would hear praise all the time. No more.” Just one sign things may be changing.

The combination of federal funding cuts and rising prices is making it difficult for many food pantries to meet rising needs. Please consider supporting your local food pantry during this busy holiday season.

While I hope everyone celebrating Xmas today has had a lovely, peaceful time, my heart remains in Palestine, with the people of Palestine. 🇵🇸 #StopIsrael #FreePalestine

“Miss, do you agree with the sign?” “Absolutely not. My great niece was 4 months pregnant and her fetus had no skull. And because of men involving themselves in women’s bodies she was forced to deliver the fetus… there’s a reason God created medicine.”🔥 #ForcedBirthNation

DOJ Drops 30,000 More Epstein Files — and Admits It Still Has Over 1,000,000 Files from Epstein Seizures Alone open.substack.com/pub/michaeld...

Remember: There's always strength in a union. Solidarity.

Trump — desperate to deflect from Epstein files, unaffordable economy, & brutal human rights violations at home — is conducting a WAR, without congressional approval, in Nigeria. Bombing Nigeria only endangers any remaining “Christian captives,” ON CHRISTMAS, no less! apple.news/A8C2kLm15TLi...

States see possible warning signs amid steady Obamacare sign-ups “[We are] seeing extremely high levels of volume of calls coming from people who are … frustrated and overwhelmed at the premium increases.” - POLITICO apple.news/AOcUcgitRSwi...

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

The unlawful and brutal NYPD under ex-cop Mayor Adams:

Eric Adams reigned over a run of scandal not seen since Boss Tweed Former-cop Mayor Adams fixated on the police department & gave retired NYPD friends wide-ranging power over public safety matters. His old cop cronies took over leadership at One Police Plaza & ran amok. apple.news/AAjDpJz8yS46...

These companies are evil.

Gotta say, as a survivor, I’m not super loving this thing where the Department of Justice is running a cover-up of evidence the President sexually abused minors.

Not gonna lie. This surprised me. And I’m not sorry .

The WH has taken over the DOJ account so they can respond to posts about Trump. This post reeks of Cheung

The LAW was to release all the files by 12/19. You’re breaking the law now, you dope.

THIS is among the most important list of documents the public needs to see. www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

THEY LITERALLY ARE! ALL documents had to be made public by Dec 19: They have not ALL redactions could only be for victims or CSA material: They did not ALL redactions had to be accompanied by an explanation to Congress why they were redacted: They haven't On all three levels, they broke the law

The law required that you did this, fully and in compliance with the agreed redaction process by 19 December. This was not done. These actions, in addition to withholding and withdrawing files and the nature of those redactions are further failures to comply with the law. You have broken the law.

Happy Solstice, Bluesky lovelies! As the light returns, may people round the world, allow it to enlighten our hearts & minds & actions with kindness & empathy. Each new day,is a new opportunity for each one of us to share light, in our own way. ☀️🕊️♥️

I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?

DOJ faces continued backlash over limited release of Epstein files Massie & Khanna are "talking about & drafting" a resolution to hold Bondi in "inherent contempt" of Congress, which Massie called "the quickest way, & I think most expeditious way, to get justice for these victims."

60 MINUTES CORRESPONDENT: “Our story was screened 5x and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.” #CBSNewsMAX #BariWeiss www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

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.
