More and more, I think this next year will be about taking individual action. Craftivism is one way. Here is a great article on draftivism. Feeling helpless? Pick up yarn or thread and some needles. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A day after part of a missile fired by the United States hit their village, landing just meters from its only medical facility, the villagers of Jabo in northwest Nigeria are in a state of shock and confusion.

Here's the deal, says USDOJ to states: we're going to send you lists of voters we think are ineligible, and you're going to take them off the rolls. That "would hand the federal govt a major role in election admin, a responsibility that belongs to the states under the U.S. Constitution." [Stateline]

Trying to maintain holiday joy while fascism is leveling up, and our country is under the control of sociopaths is a bit tricky.

WOW... the search for "Trump" was blocked(!!), but not for "Trump_". Turns out Trump is already 600 times inside the REDACTED bits of the tiny portion of the Epstein files that have been released. Giant fail, exposing there's a giant cover-up going on.

Watch full scathing segment on Trump's illegal deportation policies that was killed by 60 Minutes just hours before Sunday night's airing.

Redacted DOJ Document Today Re: 50D-NY-3027571, 10/27/202/14) A limousine driver in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. During time as a driver, he met Donald Trump. X noted he picked the President up in 1995 and took him to the DFW Airport.

For #smallpoemsunday & @tomsnarsky.bsky.social I'm sharing my Pushcart Prize and Editor's Choice Award nominated poem from @south85journal.bsky.social

- the wasteland rages, white & gray, a snowblown case of entropy. winds intone their agony, snowdevils contort in shadowed pagan rites. against the seething scrim, a yellowed tuft of grass fights the desecration. seeks a moment of peace - apricity upon its blades. - #poetry #vss365 #read

I miss who I was… 💔

The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?

BREAKING on MS NOW: Jack Smith, in his opening statement to House Judiciary, says: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

Stephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety. We spent weeks reporting on Miller's real aims. Here's the result. We hope you'll read: newrepublic.com/article/2041...

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl. Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist. They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed. Another horrific story. More details below.

Not a novel observation, but I'm going to run it through my students next month so I'm trying out my student-level explanation here first: The vesting clause theory of presidential monarchism (uh, "the unitary executive") is in tension with no less than Marbury v. Madison. I'll explain. 🧵

if Congress doesn't create lower courts, then it would seem that there would be no federal court capable of hearing a case like Marbury's. Which, in turn, would mean that "the judicial power of the United States" would not be held, in its entirety, by any combination of federal courts.) (cont)

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground. Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse. Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

Just called my rep's office, got through to a person. Urged my rep to support these articles of impeachment and was told he will. Call. Your. Reps. "Hi, I'm [Name] from [zip code], and I'd like [Name] to support Rep. Stevens' articles of impeachment for RFK Jr." Capitol switchboard: (202) 224-3121

This sentence has been caught in my teeth for days, chewy and true and hard to live up to— We're given so many chances to sell out [everything]. Good to remember it's not an imperative.
