JUST IN: Judge Boasberg won’t back off his planned contempt hearings next week and says the crime-fraud exception would overcome potential privileges. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Trump argued about this and lost during the first term. Anyone who is still complaining about accessibility should be shunned and shamed for the rest of their life.

In a HUGE win for federal workers, our essential services, and working people across the country, the bipartisan Protect America’s Workforce Act has passed the House! The fight continues in the Senate. When we fight, we WIN!

Good Trouble 🔥

I think a lot of people agree.

There’s a testosterone crisis, the FDA says — for cisgender men. #hypocrisy #transrights

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

The Heritage Foundation is cracking

Hundreds of kids in S Carolina are being quarantined right now because of a measles outbreak. I don’t have patience for niceties when it comes to this crap, so if you’re an anti-vaxxer, keep your damn kids at home and don’t travel for the holidays. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

Yesterday, Spc Sarah Becstrom was laid to rest in West Virginia at a VA National Cemetery. Surprisingly none of the major major news media mention it. No flags were lower to half staff. Well the Convicted FElon keeps the news focus on him. www.wvva.com/2025/12/10/s...

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

Congratulations to Democrats in Miami & Georgia! 🗳 💙 Eileen Higgins wins Miami mayoral race, breaking a nearly 30-year GOP hold. She's also the first female to become their mayor! AND Georgia Democrat, Eric Gisler, flips a GA state House seat in a district Trump won by 12 points! 🥳

People absolutely care... the ones with low vision who can read Calibri font much more easily than Times New Roman. This isn't just "oh, it's prettier" it's a deliberate jab at people with a particular disability.

This is disgusting. There’s nothing clever or patriotic about it. It’s cruel, it’s un American, and it tells you everything you need to know about the people who think this is acceptable.

This guy has really played the long game. 🤬

Local Chicago media is relentless in it's coverage of the dangerous, unprofessional, out of control on-going behavior by federal agents actions in our city. Here's another must read by @royalpratt.bsky.social & @joemahr.bsky.social:

Some of the suspended clauses apply to all LGBT+ people, not just trans and intersex ones, and many apply to juvenile facilities as well as halfway houses, rehab centers, and mental health facilities. 🤬😭

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

Really struggling to determine which awful Trump administration policy will kill more people The illicit war brewing with Venezuela, the RFK anti-vaccination CDC panel (which just recommended against Hepatitis B shots for newborns) or stripping away healthcare insurance from millions of Americans

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information. Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

ICE has sent more than 600 children into a federal shelter system this year — more than over the previous four years combined. A federal network of shelters for “unaccompanied” immigrant children is run by the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which operates under DHS.

The # of arrests of ppl w/o criminal convictions has risen 585%; # of arrests of people w/o criminal convictions or charges has increased by 1,200%. ICE could track down ~500k immigrants who they claim have crim convictions & are removable but they prefer easy targets to meet arbitrary arrest quotas

This is just so awful.

Sen. Roger Marshall said women are "great shoppers." Which is so true! What they don't be doing, though, is getting reproductive healthcare from their GOP representatives. www.jezebel.com/gop-senator-...

Hmm. Ghislaine Maxwell is filing a habeas petition challenging her incarceration PRO SE (no lawyers). I guess even David Markus has his limits? Incidentally, she's worried that the release of the Epstein files would be devastating to her case.

Jacob Frey: "If we are now at the point where the federal govt is deploying agents on legal American citizens with a goal of uprooting people who have formed lives here, have families here, started businesses here, definitively made Minneapolis a better place, everybody should be speaking out."

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Many Blue states have barriers to voting and insufficient protections at the local level. These states should embrace reforms that will enfranchise voters and provide strong safeguards against election deniers. Here are seven changes every state could adopt right now, for virtually no cost.

There’s no need for dog whistles anymore. The government of the United States now openly stands for bigotry. It’s not just closing our borders; it’s targeting Americans. And depending on where you came from, you might be next. 🤬

In the personality cult of MAGA would any Cabinet officers be willing to move to invoke the #25thAmendment in the event of a major health episode of the president? In an administration that values loyalty over anything else, not declaring the president incapacitated is the ultimate loyalty test.

Last night on Truth Social, the Orange One posted 160 times in less than four hours, at times faster than one per minute. Some messages attacked familiar political foes; others were self-congratulatory. Mind-boggling conspiracy theories abounded. #25thAmendment

First came reports that Hegseth ordered a killing strike against defenseless men Followed by Hegseth’s non-denial denial Then Trump DIDN’T deny it-but said it wasn’t Hegseth Now Karoline Leavitt ADMITS it-but says Admiral Bradley gave the order One thing seems sure Somebody is going down

This is our friendly neighborhood bobcat. In our backyard. Good thing we didn't leave the little girls tied up outside! 😂😂😂

The planet doesn’t care whether Elon Musk believes #climate disaster is fifty years away. The planet is following the laws of physics, not the vibes of a billionaire.

Update: add this to the list: bsky.app/profile/hayd...

When you give political criminals the power to wage war, expect war crimes.

This takes the regime's attacks on the press to a whole new level. By placing this blacklist on an official website, it normalizes the idea that journalists who aggressively scrutinize those in power are legitimate targets for state-branded campaigns. #FirstAmendmentProblems #paintingatarget

If there’s a theme to this moment, it’s this: the Trump regime is no longer simply corrupt, cruel, or incompetent. It is coming apart. And the people running it seem to understand that the only thing left to do is scream louder, hit harder, and hope the wreckage doesn’t land on them before January.

ICE DETAINED MARILYN. Fuck these people. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood. She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

Exactly.

This sounds completely insane and yet there are nuggets of just plain nastiness in there that describe his actual intentions. Seriously, how does anyone read this and think "oh, yeah, that's exactly who I want for my president"?

Why? Why? Why? 🤬🧊🤬🧊🤬🧊

How to support your #transgender friends and relatives over the holiday: 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

“I could never forget the charred remains of our once-thriving community, the smoke billowing in the air, and the terror-stricken faces of my neighbors,” she wrote in her 2023 memoir, “Don’t Let Them Bury My Story.” May her memory be both a blessing and a reminder. ❤️

WOW! Autism Society of America, The Autistic Self-Advocacy Network, the Autism Science Foundation, the Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network and Autism Speaks put out a statement denouncing the CDC changing its website on vaccines autisticadvocacy.org/2025/11/lead...

Pairs nicely. If you want to argue about the blue square, please read the black ones first. And then stop asking "gotcha" questions that have been addressed over and over and over, ad nauseum. #ScienceIsReal

The CDC had deleted “transgender” and “pregnant person” from agency websites, and the DoState purged references to transgender people from its online resource for LGBTQ+ travelers. The SSA scrubbed all mentions of trans and intersex people from its resource page about SS benefits for LGBTQ+ people.
