If you've been married 20+ years, this question is for you. Do you think your spouse cares about you? Do you think if you died, your spouse would miss you? Not your paycheck or you doing household tasks, but actually you, yourself? Would your spouse take care of you if you were seriously ill?

We condemn the scandalous US visa ban on former EU Commisioner Breton and digital activists. Protecting democracy isn’t censorship. ✋🏼 Disinformation isn’t free speech. Europe won’t take lessons from those undermining democracy and free speech. Here in Europe we set our own laws. 🇪🇺✊🏼

👇👇👇👇

Maybe all those people going on about free speech for years might ponder why we're all downloading a factually accurate news report off torrents after it got censored.

The DOJ identified at least 10 co-conspirators who worked with Epstein and Maxwell. It’s obvious to anyone with two eyes that Epstein and Maxwell were engaged in organized crime, yet NO ONE ELSE involved in Epstein’s sex trafficking ring has faced criminal charges. Why?

Vizguerra emerges from 9 months of detention to prove the resistance shifts from church basements to federal courtrooms. Release signals judicial limit on aggressive enforcement, reminding ICE that constitutional due process still holds sway — even for arrests made in Target parking lots.

I moved from teaching to tech jobs and back again and I will never not be angry about how fast the entire edtech boom, from mooc to apps and apple/google educator badges, to iPad schools etc.. all of it was ushered in. None of it with ethics, governance or safety ever done correctly

TONIGHT: Coinciding with the winter solstice at 4:21PM, volunteers with SHARE/WHEEL will hold a vigil for the 245 homeless people who died in the Seattle area this year. Since 2022, the group has honored more than 1,100 people who passed away while unhoused or in public due to violence.

I'm still learning the camera; this was just a test of the time lapse, probably zoomed in too much (with a built-in lens). I love how the cloud accepts and envelops the Moon, like it's passing through a cell membrane.

The hypocrisy is just so blatant.

Listen to Cher! 🔥🔥🔥

😢🚨✊ “This document proves if the FBI had done its job in 1996, Epstein’s decades-long sex trafficking operation could have been stopped at the outset... the FBI’s negligence allowed Epstein to continue abusing hundreds of girls and young women for nearly 25 more years.” thehill.com/homenews/adm...

As Trump pulls the plug on supporting LGBTQ youth, California is putting more resources toward providing vulnerable kids with mental health resources. We’re proud to announce a new partnership with the @trevorproject.bsky.social to launch a new statewide program to reduce youth suicides.

"The League of American Bicyclists, working with the mircromobility outfit Lime, recently reported a whopping 207-percent increase in shared bike and scooter trips along corridors where the city of Baltimore had installed new protected bike lanes."

Since 2018, California's Naloxone Distribution Project has reversed nearly 400,000 overdoses in the state. And starting Jan. 1st, Californians will be able to buy CalRx-branded over-the-counter naloxone nasal spray for just $19 — less than half of the original market price.

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? newrepublic.com/article/2042...

even among really smart folks, i think ppl have greatly underestimated just how much resources the ultra-wealthy have put into culture war bullshit to get us to fight each other instead of them

Speaker Mike Johnson says his entire worldview comes from the Bible. But he’s about to kick 2 million Texans off their healthcare right before Christmas. If you aren’t loving your neighbor, then keep Jesus’ name out of your mouth.

Today, ProPublica launched a first-of-its-kind app to help you find out where your generic drugs come from and what the factories that made them are like. Here’s how to use it.

Elon Musk’s net worth has now surpassed $600 billion, just weeks after Tesla approved his 10-year, $1 trillion pay package. That could amount to $100 billion per year — more than 1.4 million elementary school teachers’ paychecks combined. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

Sen. Blumenthal making a very good point.

“This is an agency that demonizes immigrants who have committed no crimes, yet it fails to police its own ranks,” @lynntramonte.bsky.social continued. “The hypocrisy is breathtaking, and the threat to public safety is clear.”

All eligible voters had a responsibility to prevent this from happening. We wouldn’t be here today if a majority of voters had done their duty and simply cast a ballot to protect their fellow citizens. If you didn’t do that, this is on you.

A story I found about Haiti: In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."

FUCKIN FACTS 💯

@schiff.senate.gov Your vote for Musk clone Issacman as NASA chief is just evil. Shame on you.

I spend a lot of time driving for work and observing people driving is one of the things that broke my faith in humanity. There is absolutely no hope for America.

open.substack.com/pub/wonkette... I like Governor Newsom's initiative: Don't get mad and gnash your teeth and pull out your hair, do something about their insane policies. Cal. has the right idea, hopefully more states will follow. #HHSBrainWorm #MAGAMorons #TraitorTrump #BlueCrew #Resisters

Former special counsel Jack Smith delivered a striking message to lawmakers today: his team developed “proof beyond a reasonable doubt” that Trump committed crimes related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election and the retention of classified documents.

My concern about the alleged pending resignation of admin thugs is that it may be defensive, like the resignation of AG Bill Barr as the coup attempt was being planned.

This is Millie. She just learned how to sled. Hopes you brought a second land frisbee, because she will not be taking turns. 13/10 (TT: millietheredlab)

🚨BREAKING: Eric Neff, a Republican attorney with a web of ties to election-conspiracy theorists, is the new acting chief of the voting section at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), according to the department’s website. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This feels a little too on the nose: Under Trump, America only wants people who don’t check facts www.npr.org/2025/12/04/n...

California stands with our nurses, doctors, scientists, and patients. While Trump takes a wrecking ball to the advancement of our public health, we’re modernizing resources and building trust on evidence-based, science-backed decision-making to create better health outcomes.

#GVerse LMAO!!! 😅🤣

Arizona, the model for voucher programs across the country, spent so much money paying private schoolers’ tuition that it faced hundreds of millions in budget cuts to critical state programs and projects last year. (Published July 2024)

NEW: @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom announced CA has hired 2 former leaders of the CDC who accused the Trump admin of abandoning scientific standards Dr. Monarez & Dr. Houry began helping CA last month with efforts to develop a new initiative called Public Health Network Innovation Exchange

California, bringing back science.

people.com/rob-reiner-w... PEOPLE is reporting the Reiners were killed by their son. This has not been reported elsewhere.

Nate Silver insults Heather Cox Richardson in a desperate bid to steal a fraction of the attention she's earned. But my favorite Silver tweet remains this 2022 classic: “I still think Eric Adams would be in my top 5 for ‘who will be the next Democratic presidential nominee after Joe Biden?’"
