In case you have never seen this.

For the love of God DO NOT Give pets as Xmas gifts. Too many of these “gifts” end up at the shelter . A Dog/Cat is a gift we give ourselves and they come with many sacrifices. Time,money, and a certain amount of collateral damage in their puppyhood.

STAR TREK VOYAGER: HOMECOMING is on this list of best comics of the year?!? STAR TREK VOYAGER: HOMECOMING is on this list of best comics of the year!!!! 🥹🥰 mega thanks to @heatherantos.bsky.social @sercas.bsky.social and everyone at @idwpublishing.com for trusting us with this story 🩷

Trump, and his son Barron, helped get another accused child rapist free. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/u...

Today was our last chance in Congress to save the Affordable Care Act subsidies that help people afford care before they expire at the end of the year. And what did Republicans do? They voted NO.

Richest 1/1000th of world’s population controls 3 times more wealth than the poorest 50%. "The global wealth gap has become so staggering, and its impact on economies & democratic institutions so corrosive, that policymakers should treat it as an emergency..." www.commondreams.org/news/world-i...

This is really incredible. The government's battle to deport Abrego Garcia has apparently been based on a lie from the start. Not even the "gang affiliation" lie or the "human smuggling" lie, but the more basic assertion that he was ordered to be deported in the first place.

It needs to be treated as importantly as "no animals were harmed during the making of this film" Because yeah, for a time? Animals got harmed and people accepted it as a part of the process. And it was wrong. So is this, and it needs to stop.

Siccing dogs on people is a slave tracker thing, a Bull Connor thing, a police brutality thing, a jackboot thug thing, an evil abuse of both dog and man which only a fully corrupted spirit could enact.

There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented. ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams “I am a US citizen,”. Why is ICE harassing women?

This is a great thread. It applies to working in TV (my PA work got me promoted because I would cheerfully offer to do and learn more things), but also really any field. And it's really important to be someone people WANT to be around and work with.

This is a great list (and don't forget Marisa herself).

The number of convicted criminals in immigration detention is about 1.8x what it was when Trump took office. The number of people with no criminal record whatsoever — who are detained solely for immigration reasons — has shot up **25.5x** open.substack.com/pub/austinko... (via @austinkocher.com)

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

9 Vaccine Myths That Won’t Go Away theunbiasedscipod.substack.com/p/9-vaccine-...

Thanks to SciFi Pulse for the amazing 9.5/10 review of STAR TREK VOYAGER: HOMECOMING issue 3! “The moral dilemma Janeway faces by the end of the issue is exactly the kind of impossible choice she so often confronted during the series, making it feel authentically ‘Voyager’ in every sense.”

In case you missed this, the BBC edited a historian's speech about Trump to remove the claim that he's "the most openly corrupt president in US history." This came after Trump had threatened a $1 billion lawsuit. Elite capitulation continues. Read all about it here: newrepublic.com/article/2036...

Trump’s FBI Spent Nearly $1 Million on Redacting Epstein Files | A new report reveals the FBI’s frantic “special redaction project” when they thought the Epstein files would be released.

Now here’s the kind of news you drop going into a long holiday weekend. Maybe no one will notice. 🤡 @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

Why, this is hell, nor are we out of it

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Last February 6th—17 days after Donald Trump had begun his second term—the Prospect posted a piece I’d written noting that the 250th anniversary of the Battles of Lexi...

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

This poor child, this poor mom. This is just evil.

Nursing home magnate Joseph Schwartz was sentenced in April to three years for defrauding the government of $38 million. Seven months later, President Trump pardoned him, but the White House denies a lobbying tie.

ICE is trapping people in abusive relationships, and more generally, making immigrants afraid to assert legal rights and ask for help that they are very much entitled to. (Noting that this is not new, for example there's history of agricultural workers threatened with la migra for speaking out!)

Please watch this. The Senate killed a bill to ban state regulation of AI by a vote of 99-1 this spring. Now the industry - eager to stay unregulated - and Trump are scheming to shove the provision in the national defense bill. You need to know this, so you can help stop it.

1. This year traffic stops by Florida cops have led to at least two dozen immigrant kids being separated from their family or caregivers and placed in federal shelters. For one 15-year-old, it began with a cracked windshield.

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!

Remember that striking Starbucks workers are asking you not to buy Starbucks right now

The government is rounding up and imprisoning innocent people, at an ever increasing rate. Wish I would see a big newspaper report this big news.

Spotify is helping ICE recruit more agents to infringe our rights and terrorize our communities. Stop paying for or using the app until Spotify stops running ads for ICE: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify?source=bluesky

Keep this story in the news. "Man Detained by ICE Found Dead, Hanging With Hands and Feet Tied—Attorney" www.newsweek.com/ice-detainee...

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

A horrifying graphic from Pew showing the fruits of the right wing war on public health. Only 48% of Republicans believe that vaccines prevent serious illness, while 80% of Democrats do. This is not a difference of opinion in science. This is the result of a ruthless disinformation campaign.

Trump's rants against Democrats have inspired everything from death threats and pipe bombs to the January 6th assault on the Capitol. This is a time to take him literally and seriously.

less than ONE WEEK until STAR TREK VOYAGER: HOMECOMING issue 3 releases on Nov 26! and that’s also the final order cutoff for issue 4! LET’S GO LET’S GO!
