You can very clearly see why someone whose job it is to protect war criminals would need this pulled from the airwaves: It’s visible proof the Trump administration is operating concentration camps.

i do not support jeffrey epstein's spokesman george conway and you shouldn't either. even if it turns out jeffrey epstein had a microstroke and completely misspoke in conversation with michael wolff where he identified george conway as his spokesman. this guy and his friends are bigots and thieves.

Our so-called opposition party can't afford to be cute or coy with what's happening here. It's not just naked corruption, it's ethnic cleansing, treason, atrocities, with naked corruption threaded through it. Personally profiting from slave labor and torture.

America desperately needs opposition politicians running on a platform of tribunals, truth & reconciliation committees, and severe punishment for the worst offenders in this administration.

Maybe that's the most insidious thing about the Trump regime. They aren't particularly secretive about their crimes. People who are smart and have time to spend staying up to date already know what's going on. But the majority of people never hear anything.

I watched it. I don't think there's much in there that you wouldn't already know if you read, say, the New York Times, or hang out on BlueSky. But the people who watch 60 Minutes don't read the New York Times, or hang out on BlueSky. Getting true news on TV is increasingly rare.

I’d just add that several US citizens detained by the feds during protests—people never charged with a crime—also had dna samples collected and presumably catalogued. For what purpose, idk.

Hell no.

THE CANCELLED 60 MINUTES SEGMENT DOWNLOAD BEFORE APPLE INTERFERES

The only reason people are still pushing for an Epstein list is because they don’t believe women in the first place. There’s literally no reason for any of this shit.

Hochul’s justification for approving the Williams NESE fracked gas pipeline for Trump was that he’d leave offshore wind alone. Now he’s attacking the wind projects, anyway. What a shock! 🙄 Hochul is in the bag for oil/gas and Trump on energy. 😡 www.nytimes.com/2025/12/22/c...

On a call just now, Bari Weiss tells staff she held the CECOT story because it wasn’t ready & to advance a months-old story, they need "the principals" on record. Yesterday, CBS reporter Sharyn Alfonsi warned if they can only do stories when government responds, it “gains control” over 60 Minutes.

Fight fight fight fight

This is a dumbfounding guideline. Absolutely a destructive and incompetent recommendation that was clearly made by people not qualified to judge such decisions.

anyone who has actually tried this knows how little AI knows about academic literature bases. you have to feed it the literature and be so specific that it’s not worth it. your brain is so much more efficient and effective and honestly creative. AI wastes time.

Bari Weiss won't hear your remarks about how disgusted you are with her toadying to the admin but on the other hand yes she will, these people are absolute dogs for attention and would eat their own vomit on live TV if it meant even three people would notice them

especially in the dark hours we need to remember that we are going to win

People must grasp the idea of “media capture.” It’s when authoritarian regimes and/or their powerful allies take control of media to stifle independent voices holding the government to account. It’s one way Hungary’s Viktor Orbán keeps power. In the U.S., it’s what the Ellisons have done with CBS.

"He drives his staff to and from work to reduce risk. ... He orders extra food so people can take meals home. He makes sure everyone has a red card to remind them of their rights. To remind them to stay silent. To remind them that their accent might be used against them." New from Sangeeta Lakhani.

“These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless.”

i know one view is that "they don't intend to lose power" but i honestly think this gives them way too much credit.

it really is something that no one affiliated or allied with trump seems to have any sense of how to use power with subtlety and finesse.

It looks like it's been scrubbed from every official 60 Minutes page now. It's only a 30-second promo but here it is if you didn't get a chance to see it.

It’s not that hard. Don’t grovel to the fascists or cover for pedophiles. Don’t govern miles to the right of your electoral base. Listen to your constituents, not the billionaire elites (& definitely don’t accept a $70 million line of credit from them). Otherwise, welcome to retirement-by-primary

An open letter to Representative Vicente Gonzalez: If you don’t want a serious primary challenge, don’t vote to let ICE to strip-search literal children. Until then, stop whining.

This is some Mengele shit

The majority of archival material out there has NOT been digitized. So if you really want to figure something out, odds are that you have to go to an archive and dig. Historians are trained to dig.

Wishing a blessed Winter Solstice to all!

Turns out the 1st Amendment doesn't work when regime allied oligarchs purchase the media and censor unfavorable content willingly.

Happy Winter Solstice May the new sun welcome you against the long night #dragons #watercolor #painting #art

Most accurate 2025 map I’ve seen yet

if you need me

nothing condemns Our Times more than the fact we appear to have *mostly democratically* elevated to power some of the most stupid assholes who have ever lived. something is wrong with a country and system that ferrets out its most undisputedly horrible citizens and then gives them nuclear codes

I do believe the USA is redeemable and I absolutely don’t think we’re doomed - but nothing condemns our current system and our culture more than the fact we have *chosen* to elevate the nation’s most genuinely disgusting and worthless people to positions of supreme power

Rick Vandendolder, 73: "My dad was with the Dutch resistance, and he helped hide Jews and others who were fleeing Nazi persecution," he said. "I met some of the people that he saved, and I never dreamt that I'd be seeing the same thing going on in this country."

The great old comedy writer Larry Gelbart said that your style is formed by what you can’t do. I wish more people understood that. That and the Martha Graham quote about keeping the channel open.

Would it be fair to question the literacy of this administration as a whole at this point?

i’m just going to assume the 90% of pages that they blacked out is ONLY donald trump

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

the number one requirement for the next Dem president is that they are willing to look back with a flamethrower

Same. Frankly, I can’t imagine any situation where using an LLM to generate text would not make writing the book take ten times as long.
