Thousands of people flocked to Bethlehem's Manger Square on Christmas Eve. The vast majority of people celebrating were residents, with a handful of foreigners in the crowd. https://to.pbs.org/45r14o2

“Pundits who predicted a quick Ukrainian defeat were wrong in 2022, and they are wrong today.”

The Trump DOJ is running scared and so they're putting out this kind of dreck on social media:

The story behind the spiked story is that it exposes a govt criminal enterprise, in which innocent people are targeted, deported & even tortured. It also exposes Weiss for what she is: a Trump-installed apparatchik who has zero interest in fulfilling journalism's duty to speak truth to power.

A federal judge on Monday said the US govt denied due process to the Venezuelan men it deported to prison in El Salvador in March after Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act. He continues to break the law, but is never held accountable. STOP him. Where are our lawmakers? #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Thanks GlobalTV Canada! 🇨🇦

Trump naming things after himself while he’s President since he knows no one is going to name anything after him when he leaves office. In 3 years his name will be ripped from everything he renamed. And it will be satisfying. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/A3e8shjUuT56...

Sean Duffy says he now has veto power over appropriations passed by Congress and signed into law. He is the dictator over infrastructure funds. If you do something he doesn’t like, you lose the funds passed by Congress. bsky.app/profile/atru...

And naturally it’s only going to make the now-removed Trump photo all the more notorious. bsky.app/profile/erik...

It IS our war. We made a deal with Ukraine that if they gave up their nukes, we’d protect them from Russia.

Pam Bondage's EPSTEIN FILES FAILURE........

They need to do a segment on cowardice bsky.app/profile/5nar...

Leavitt: “These are heinous monsters.” Reality: Half had no charges, “ICE’s own records say only 3% had been sentenced for a violent crime”

That $270 million he spent on the 2024 campaign is really paying off.

There's always a Tweet.

Occam's razor. DOJ hasn't released key documents, including the original 60-count draft indictment of Epstein and the victim statements. Why? DOJ really doesn't want us to read them. Why does DOJ care so much about these? Because they directly or indirectly implicate Trump.

A very British holiday tradition will get an American twist this year, when Jimmy Kimmel offers the alternative holiday message, in which he will speak out against fascism on Britain’s Channel 4 on Christmas Day, the station announced on Sunday. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/w...

“The people who talked for years about Hunter Biden have nothing to say about the rampant self-dealing of the Trump sons, Kushner, and of course Trump himself—which is at a scale so incomprehensible and brazen it apparently warrants no notice.” @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/gtco...

Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

Dems have a bad habit of snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory. The House majority is within reach, but they STILL cede ground to Trump by not doing daily fact-checking press briefings from the Capitol. By not using ALL of their power (yes, they still do have some)

RELEASE THE TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES

You want me to stop talking about the Epstein files? Ok. Release the unredacted files and lock up everyone involved. I’ll never mention it again.

Lame Duck Word for 2026

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.

Calling these fucking sickos 'weird' accomplishes something important, which is refusing to recognize the premises of their disgusting madness. Instead of starting with "OK, I can see where you're coming from," you begin with, "this is weird & gross, what kind of sick fuck would say such a thing"

Unaffordable

As a historian I've looked at hundreds of thousands of pages of government documents. And I just have to say that aside from being obviously illegal and clearly suggestive of some major crime, this “redaction” business is not a position in which serious people or serious governments find themselves

Metallic tinsel, glittery ornaments, plastic holly that really stays green forever – they look good on your Christmas tree, holiday table, mantel or front door. They’re not such a good look for the planet when we’re done with them, though. (from 2024) https://to.pbs.org/4iOjrZg

Every democracy-loving American should be out protesting #ICE like the good folks of Minneapolis. This holiday season, take time to talk to your friends & family about what's going on so that no American can claim ignorance. If they don't believe #ICELawlessness, ask them what if questions.

Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas ~ #DefendersOfDemocracy

I made a thing.

No farms, no seasonal farm workers, no food. Red farmers, you voted for this.

Republicans decided to go home for the holidays, leaving millions of Americans staring down massive health care premium hikes. They didn’t just clock out. They walked away from people’s lives. NOTE: These are all red or purple districts.

Future history books will not be kind to Marco Rubio, or any of the rest of the Trump administration, for defending a traitor and covering for a pedophile. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Weird

Asked by Erika Kirk what her advice to young men is, Nicki Minaj says, “don’t be like [Gavin] Newscum.” Nicki then refers to Trump as “our handsome, dashing president.” She then referred to JD Vance as “an assassin,” and remembered whom she was on stage with. Erika Kirk then assures her it’s fine

I do have a litmus test for my candidates now and it's that I want them to be genuinely pissed off, not pretend pissed off

Russia is turning occupied Donbas into recruitment base, using financial debts to pressure Ukrainians into military contracts The Center for National Resistance called it "ultimatum in hopeless situation" that allows Russia to replenishing its army euromaidanpress.com/2025/12/20/u...

“Facing an economic spiral and depleted conventional forces, Vladimir Putin is entering a window of maximum danger. We must prepare not for a resurgent Russia but for a desperate one: 2026 will be the year of hybrid escalation.” www.rusi.org/explore-our-...

Holy shit.

just RELEASE ALL OF THE EPSTEIN FILES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
