An absolute must to read and ponder. Right through to the end. By Spencer Ackerman. "Weiss simply has no idea what it took to report this story, and even less about the value of what her reporter delivered. Ellison would not have installed someone who did." www.forever-wars.com/watching-bar...

Such help.

Trump's DOJ was monitoring all the movements of the Miami Herald reporter who was covering the Epstein case.

So I have the cover story in next month's TNR. I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol. They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.

Watched. Now Christmas is officially declared.

Breaking news: investigative journalism delayed by sudden outbreak of executive nervousness.

I’m not sleepy and there ain’t no place I’m going to. #morningpop #thebyrds

In its pain and sadness and anger and thoughtfulness, this from Dr Jenna Price is one of the best things written since Bondi. Showing up so much of the empty rubbish from most media (including this publisher) & public figures. www.smh.com.au/national/our...

The most brutal way of telling someone they’re a few sandwiches short of a picnic that I’ve heard in French is t’es pas la truite la plus oxygénée de la rivière. It means “you’re not the most oxygenated trout in the river.” * read on for similar insults from around the world (a thread)…

I can’t do it, I can’t conceive you’re everything you’re trying to make me believe. #morningpop #aimeemann #bachelornumber2

Members of Jews Against the Occupation '48 have received death threats and been doxed in the wake of the Bondi attacks. A personal account worth reading #auspol michaelwest.com.au/gun-vs-keffi...

Govts of all stripes, all rhetorics, hate protests and marches, but ones exposing their hypocrisy especially. So any excuse, no matter how tangential (or nonexistent) the connection, to restrict or ban them is always welcome, and exploited. Minns is just playing to form.

I had no idea all those nice little grey-haired old ladies from the leafy North Shore I saw on the way to the Harbour Bridge march were there to stoke hatred and inspire terrorism! They will be pretty shocked to find out, too!

The line "only Nixon could go to China" is always code for rightwing/conservatives would have hypocritically attacked anyone else doing exactly the same thing.
