doesn't swing his arms like an american doesn't wiggle his hand like the queen can't name a single white sock comically foreign, WHAT DID HE MEAN

Each of these 3000 people was someone's everything.

This is slavery.

The Sundays' "Reading, Writing and Arithmetic" from 1990. music.apple.com/us/album/rea...

A pure American classic of comeuppance.

These photos by Szilvester Makó of Rama Duwaji are simply gorgeous. And these feel like the New York City I know and love and feel in my bones and sinew, and that I've been waiting for again.

Just because msm won't cover these stories, this doesn't mean there aren't still people willing to engage, investigate, and report. Support independent media -- local, national, and international -- with page views and with your money, if you have the wherewithal to do so.

60 Minutes is one of only two documentary-style public affairs programs left on the air. The other is Frontline on PBS, which saw its funding gashed by the Trump admin and Congress. They have a matching donation rn. www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontli...

CBS is state-run media.

i really think there is legit political space for running on "we are going to dismantle ICE"

totally predictable outcome of selling her soul, but that’s not our problem

blessings on these two young men, so drunk and so clear at the same time

And 100 more in boats in the Caribbean.

28 people have been murdered in less than one year. With our tax dollars.

Another boat strike today. Let's dedicate this one to the 214 Republicans and 2 Democrats who voted against stopping these illegal murders. The death toll from 26 attacks now stands at 99.

I turned it off.

This is its own kind of violence

It’s so bananas that we don’t know whether this dingdong will declare war in forty minutes or whether he’ll tell us all some random story about a conversation he had in 1982 and how much he hated Gene Kelly or something and then tell us he’s sending us all thousand dollar checks

This is sickening. It's child abuse. Call your Senators and tell them to vote no.

Data centres are being marketed as 'vital cogs in the energy transition', but the metaphor is wrong. They're black holes, sucking up time, light, matter and energy from the decarbonisation space and redeploying it to protecting big tech's profits. www.businessinsider.com/ford-data-ce...

I'm not sure if people realize the murder strikes are taking place across a large region. It's quite staggering. www.newsweek.com/map-us-strik...

What an absolute banger, what a killer fit

Following on the spate of horrible news this weekend, this made me weep. www.npr.org/2025/12/14/n...

🙏 After a weekend of such tragedy, this is beautiful to read.

For me it will be a double feature of my favorites, "When Harry Met Sally" at 8pm and "The Princess Bride" at 10. Each reminds me of a particular time as a young person when everything felt possible and like life could be funny and kind. What beautiful talent. What a storytelling legacy he leaves.

What a horrifying weekend of news. Too much.

OMG, no.

What a world to go to bed thinking about one mass shooting and wake up to news of another, a targeted hate crime, at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney. And also in the video where an actual hero, Ahmed al Ahmed chooses not to kill one of the terrorists.

Beautiful thread for this Chanukah at this political moment.

רָעוֹת שָׂבְעָה נַפְשִׁי / בְּיָגוֹן כֹּחִי כָּלָה 😢 My spirit is fed up with misery /my strength is spent with grief 💔 As millions of Jews are getting ready to light the first Chanukah candle, we are crying with our Jewish community in Sydney. At least 11 murdered and 29 injured at a Hanukkah Celebration 😭 1/4

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

Fiddler on the roof, but with ICE agents playing the part of Cossacks. I know people think of Fiddler as a heartwarming story about a funny man doing Ya-ba-dibba-dibbas, but it's literally about pogroms like this

I can't believe this is the life we have built for young people in the US. I can't believe we still have to call for gun control after every single one of these massacres.

As he celebrates his 100th Birthday this very day, can we all take a moment to acknowledge that time when Dick Van Dyke won the internet internet. Forever.

Wake Up Dead Man is so damn good. (And I need another Craig / O'Connor / Close film soon.)

I will tell you for free that the ethics are bad

I had been dreading the treaty anniversary as an occasion to note that we have not done nearly enough, but in July I thought we might be able celebrate it. Because, on 23 July, the international court of justice handed down an epochal ruling....

And there are so many other ordinary people, quietly getting by, whose lives have been upended by this administration for absolutely no defensible reason. Let them live. This country needs them.

This is just some ordinary dude no one had ever heard of, quietly getting by, and the administration has decided in a fit of pique to hound him for the rest of his life because otherwise they'd have to tacitly admit they're capricious incompetent villains. Just let him live, ffs

Since undocumented people can’t get a mortgage, one can only presume that the Trump administration is alleging they’re buying houses in all cash deals Which totally squares with them walking thousands of miles to get here and sneaking in-rather than just flying-and taking backbreaking, menial jobs

‘I like to think of AI as a plagiarising mechanism. I know it’s changing the world….but I am in open rebellion’ Be still, my beating heart

Excellent news. I live in a different district, so while I can't vote for @bradlander.bsky.social until he runs for Senate, I'm looking forward to helping this campaign.

I fell into the habit of using "Kind regards" when I was working closely with some people at humanitarian organizations in Geneva, who closed every message with that. Now I'm going to relish it: "from hell's heart I stab at thee... kindly."

This New Yorker can't wait to listen to this.

If every Muslim voter in Dearborn voted for Harris, she still would have lost Michigan. If she had won Michigan, she STILL WOULD HAVE LOST THE ELECTION. If you want to blame voters for current conditions, feel free to blame the actual demographic responsible for Trump and that is WHITE PEOPLE.
