it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico jury finds Meta's platforms are harmful to children's mental health and imposes $375 million penalty.

“This is not a war for security. It’s a war for the political economy of fossil fuels – and the people paying the price are Iranian civilians and working‑class communities around the world.”

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

That critique of the government extracting resources from PR. The power poles.

Bless

Bad Bunny understood the assignment…

Gorgeous set. This is just awesome.

Yes! Stop saying Trump. Name Repubs. It’s the entire party

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power. They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

Say it

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

It’s official. VP is a bad Catholic. (I know. We knew)

I invite all Americans to join Minnesota in a day of unity tomorrow.

Facts.

Bluesky community! This is my official NYC mayor account. I’ll be posting updates on what’s happening at City Hall and how we’re delivering for New Yorkers. It’s great to be here.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

So many in media are ill-equipped to interview officials about what’s happening because they begin with the presumption of legitimacy and don’t know enough about history or U.S. foreign policy to foment intelligent pushback and hold officials accountable.

Can't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

So much of American history is just impulsive and extremely stupid elites, who don't believe in consequences because they have never personally experienced them, doing highly consequential stuff because they're bored or believe it might make them richer. I guess a lot of our culture, too.

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

Mamdani has only been Mayor for a day & criminals are already fleeing New York

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta. Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

A big thank you to Shaw-nae for warmly welcoming us, sharing her history and her home. As she often says, Staten Island truly is the borough of many memories.

And for the record, Mr. Martini, the Italian immigrant who Mr. Potter disgustingly disparaged as a “garlic eater,” and who received a chance for a decent home from the Bailey Business& Loan, is essentially the stand-in for the forbears of ppl like ICE enforcer Greg Bovino (Italian-American).

Next year will be a once in a generation election where we have the opportunity to flip the Governor's Mansion AND the State House. Join Rep. Ruwa Romman for the 1st stop of the Georgia We Deserve Tour where we ring in the New Year together and commit to a Georgia we can afford and where we belong.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

The new documentary "Sun Ra: Do the Impossible," will premiere on PBS' "American Masters" series on Feb. 20. www.portlandmercury.com/music/2025/1...

I've known Matt DeMateo for almost 20 years and I am so glad to see the work of New Life Centers uplifted: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/o... - Matt is the real deal and he would be the first to refuse to be pedestaled. But he really is a singular human being. Chicago is lucky to have him.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Chicago!

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

Solidarity is the only way

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

Black people have been asking this question for a very long time.

I appreciated the opportunity to meet with neighbors in East Elmhurst, Corona and LeFrak City last night at @maketheroadact.bsky.social as we continue to build this movement to make our city affordable.

Fire, brimstone, ukuleles & giant dancing animals😂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

The wounded knee thing is really Trumpism distilled to its essence. It’s not enough to be able crush people who can’t fully defend themselves, it’s not enough to actually crush them, you also have to love and admire those who do the crushing otherwise the Trumpists’ delicate feelings are injured

The conservative majority simply blocks off reality to justify its ends. Today’s decision is as chilling as it gets. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

We can set an example for the whole nation in this election.

The Department of Homeland Security is holding up more than $100 million preapproved dollars intended to help hurricane-battered North Carolina clean up storm damage and fix infrastructure, according to documents obtained by The Post.

how much of the money from the ICE/tax cuts bill is just going to go to scammers, do you think? www.richmonder.org/this-tuckaho...
