I mean, let's talk about the obvious.

Those observing Christmas are celebrating a family of asylum seekers. If there is indeed a "War on Christmas," it's being waged by those trying to make our country less safe for the poor, for the marginalized, and for refugees.

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

Inclusion is what makes America great! I wish this clip were a little longer. The central ballerina is about to get lifted out of her chair. SO SWEET!

Holy shit

@maddow.bsky.social I've stopped feeding the pig by doing a tax strike. Since the Supreme Court has declared that money is speech - I'm keeping my taxes and giving it to organizations who are making good trouble.

Please share widely. Everyone should see this.

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

CBS News postponed a "60 Minutes" segment Sunday because it lacked a Trump admin interview, per an email we obtained from correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi, who said the decision by EIC Bari Weiss gave the White House a "kill switch." with @liamjscott.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

CBS News EIC Bari Weiss had concerns about the CECOT piece, I’m told. The network decided to hold the segment pending, among other things, comment or an interview with White House officials next year…

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

The only thing Trump has ever taken his name off of is the Epstein files.

This idea that senior leaders have a responsibility to refuse illegal orders is not hypothetical, and it's not new. Since being sworn in back in January, I’ve asked President Trump's nominees about this issue, on the record. Watch for yourself:

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

The Christmas display, which replaces Jesus, Mary and Joseph with a sign saying “ICE Was Here,” has drawn criticism from Catholic leaders and immigration officials. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/08/u...

I am furious. Those ICE agents should be arrested. When will our local police forces start protecting us from these THUGS? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Musk’s Wealth 2012: $2 billion 2025: $493.8 billion Bezos’ Wealth 2012: $18.4 billion 2025: $240.9 billion Zuckerberg’s Wealth 2012: $17.5 billion 2025: $226.9 billion Federal Minimum Wage 2012: $7.25 2025: $7.25 It’s not the start of an oligarchy. — We’re in the thick of it.

“The decision was made to exclude me from the filmed production of Swan Lake because I was told my brown skin would disrupt the aesthetic.” ~ Misty Copeland When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

Can I let you in on a little secret? Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity. It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

Billions of your tax dollars are going to Palantir Technologies, the backbone of Trump's anti-immigrant police state. Be warned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_VwyhErd88

Remember the ringleader of prison torture at Abu Ghraib, Charles Graner? Was a corrections officer at a notorious prison in Pennsylvania where guards were repeatedly accused of abusing prisoners. Sent to Abu Ghraib as a military prison guard. We just REFUSE TO LEARN. www.nytimes.com/2004/05/14/w...

trump: “no see we HAVE to blow up those boats in the caribbean, they could be carrying drugs!” also trump:

💯. It's not these patriotic citizens' fault they're being used as performative props by a corrupt, mendacious, and deranged president. They deserve our kindness and respect, and now, devastatingly, our deepest concern and sympathy. 😢

Elaine Miles, an Indigenous actor, alleged ICE officers said her Oregon tribal identification “looked fake” during a recent encounter. https://www.koin.com/news/washington/actor-says-ice-officers-called-her-oregon-tribal-id-fake-report/?cid=bluesky_ 

Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent. She didn't want to deploy to D.C. "She hated it. She cried about it." But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it. May she rest in peace. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Miles, an Indigenous actor best known for her roles in “Northern Exposure,” “Smoke Signals,” “Wyvern” and “The Last of Us,” handed them her tribal ID from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon. Yet, Miles recalled one agent calling it “fake.”

The next time Trump insults a journalist for asking a question he doesn't like - I want the response to be - "and you're a lousy President, but here we are. Please answer the question."

This is a really big story that should not be missed. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Please, let's never forget this part of our history. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

‘Don’t feel safe’: McMinnville students protest ICE arrest

Things online are often not as they appear.

PUNCHBOWL: “.. GOP members messaged us over the weekend saying that they, too, are considering retiring in the middle of the term. Here’s one particularly exercised senior House Republican: @punchbowlnews.bsky.social

This story should be covered waaaaayy more than it is. The US has sanctioned six judges if the international criminal court ICC, because Trump didn’t like them issuing arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and former Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant. www.lemonde.fr/en/internati...

Elon Musk donated $277 million to Trump so he could steal the federal government’s data, dismantle the nation’s infrastructure, and stop foreign aid from going to nonwhite people. It’s a quid pro quo breathtaking in scope, corruption, and damage, & completely unprecedented in American history.

If all the critics are saying that military personnel should follow illegal orders, they should revisit the Nuremberg trail - "I was just following orders" is not a defense.

Rita Hester was a beautiful soul and a fixture of the Boston queer community who lived large and unapologetically. Her unsolved murder sparked Transgender Day of Remembrance, but her story is often forgotten. Today, we celebrate her life and continue the work to end violence against trans women.

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community. The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution. Don’t give up the ship.
