"AIPAC only stands to become more controversial among Democrats as it ramps up its 2026 spending in Democratic primaries while buoyed by Republican donations." Yes, Republican big money trying, via AIPAC, to impact who the Democratic candidates will be. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

The proposed regulations on gender-affirming care for minors are not legally binding and are set to be challenged in court.

They’re stealing from us. They are stealing from us and we have to put a stop to this. This cannot stand.

The idea that enhancing surveillance in academic buildings will protect students from mass shootings is absolutely fucking preposterous. What it will increase is the criminalization of our students. Reject it!!! GUN CONTROL IS THE ANSWER TO GUN VIOLENCE. BEAT THE GUNS INTO PLOWSHARES.

7 Dems joined House Republicans in voting for a bill that would enable ICE agents to strip search 12-year-olds. Henry Cuellar (TX-28) Don Davis (NC-01) Laura Gillen (NY-04) Jared Golden (ME-02) Vicente Gonzalez (TX-34) Adam Gray (CA-13) Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03)

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison. Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.

In case facts still matter…

The GAO probe found that even though the FDA has long been empowered to force manufacturers to pull defective devices from the market, the agency has only done so four times. The last time was in 1992.

White House Refuses to Rule Out Summary Executions of People on Its Secret Domestic Terrorist List The Trump administration ignored questions about whether it would order the killings of those on its NSPM-7 list — even while answering our other queries. theintercept.com/2025/12/12/t...

Some of the protesters brought items to keep the two men warm -- heating pads, jacket, food -- but the agents told them they couldn’t get the items to the upper floor.

Masked men wearing ICE vests—but who refused to present a warrant or identify themselves—roped off a construction site, trapping two men on a roof for hours in subzero temps. Protesters gathered. Masked men eventually left, and one man on the roof was taken away by ambulance kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

Ramirez to Noem: "You lied on the record and you lied to members of this committee. You violated court orders by not turning around deportation flights bound for El Salvador where we know that hundreds of people under your leadership reported they were raped, beaten, and nearly died."

We need urgent action to rein in Big Tech’s unchecked expansion and get moving on the clean energy transition. Here's how they can do it: www.citizen.org/news/as-big-...

Big Tech's rollout of AI data centers is happening behind closed doors & putting communities at risk. While Big Tech lines its pockets, working people are facing higher electricity bills, and polluted air & water. Our new policy guide helps elected officials protect consumers.

In collaboration w/ @groundwork.bsky.social & @moreperfectunion.bsky.social, we convened hundreds of volunteers from across the country to investigate Instacart’s AI-assisted pricing experiments at popular grocery stores like Target & Kroger. Read our full investigation below:

The most *chef's kiss* part of this story is when Instacart says it's the stores that set the prices and then the stores point the finger right back at Instacart and say they don't set the prices on the platform. truthout.org/articles/ins...

Whole of the American economy is now piracy.

The first paragraph of Judge Breyer‘s opinion granting an injunction in the California National Guard case is a banger.

What I'm saying is that this 37% group can be *defeated*, but there is zero historical reason to believe that it can be *won over*.

As was clear during Trump 1, roughly 37% of Americans are committed to white supremacy &/or Christian nationalism, no matter the cost. Very much reminds me of the Reconstruction South, which doubled down on the plantation regime that had destroyed the country in the aftermath of emancipation.

Israeli Military Chief Says Gaza’s “Yellow Line” WIll Become “New Border” for Israel

Clinton is continuing to mock young people, including young Jewish people, by claiming they're making things up when they condemn Israel's genocide in Palestine. With receipts, I document the history of injustice that got us here, and how we stop these atrocities www.qasimrashid.com/p/hillary-cl...

The Trump administration pulled legal immigrants at the last minute before their naturalization ceremony. Immigrants lined up to become U.S. citizens in Boston on Dec. 4 were pulled out of line by USCIS officials moments before taking the oath.

These were people already approved to be naturalized, yet they were stopped solely because of their countries of origin. MAGA keeps saying, “If they wanted to be in this country, they should have done it the right way.” Well, they did. And the administration still blocked them. Cruelty is the point.

Israel hunted a 70 year old lady down with a gun drone and then hoovered above to make sure she bled out next to her dying son. They both join almost 1,000 Palestinians Israel has massacred or maimed in its genocide during the "ceasefire". www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12...

Finland ended homelessness with a housing first strategy that gave people apartments before they secured employment Now they’re proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days True work life balance Meanwhile in the US, people work two jobs and can’t afford food or healthcare.

As a society, we are at the point in the Monopoly game that we remember why we hate this game. Guess what? We don’t have to play it anymore.

In the era of slavery, free black people had to carry their "free papers" with them so they could prove to the authorities that they were free, or else they would be thrown in jail and sold.

Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced. Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.

It’s hilarious and revelatory that a bunch of giant MAGA/America First X accounts are actually based in Eastern Europe and Nigeria.

RFK Jr unilaterally turned CDC into an anti-vaccine propaganda site. Do people forget that he has made millions of dollars demonizing vaccines and autism for the last 25 years? This is his business model. Watch: youtu.be/ZZCutMBhjpg?...

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos. I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

Federal agents used chemical weapons on Chicagoans at least 49 times — even after a judge said to stop. Contrary to federal claims about attacks on agents, most of these incidents appear to involve nonviolent protesters or bystanders. blockclubchi.co/47PoaXb
