This is barbaric. The situation in nursing homes has been bad for years. Worse is coming. Mark my words. Vulture capitalists investmentirs gonna have plenty of carrion: thehill.com/opinion/heal...

I hope that all of you have a joyous holiday season surrounded by your family and loved ones*. *Except for ICE. I hope no one talks to you or gives you a present and that you accidentally shit your pants while everyone tells you to go fuck yourself at the grocery store.

So much for בית לחם on Christmas - where Christ purportedly was born in a manger....

"hey! I've been good 😾 where's my treats!?" #CatsofBluesky

Whatever you're celebrating I hope it's lovely and meaningful & that you're among those most dear to you. I'm so glad you're a part of my life. Let us be the best we can be when the world around us is shrouded in darkness awaiting the dawn. Hold your loved ones close.

Really bad. Many Virginia nursing homes: Getting worse daily under for-profit ownership. So frustrating and no relief in sight. @katrinacallsen.com @creighdeeds.bsky.social www.wtvr.com/news/local-n...

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

60 Minutes staff reportedly threatening to quit over censorship. Go for it, and let’s all commit to never watching CBS News until they are a reliable news source again. #news #CBS www.thedailybeast.com//cbss-60-min...

Pretty sure I've *never* had to apologize for being white, but then again I can't recall doing anything that drew attention to that other than occasionally clapping on the 1 and 3.

Great new episode of Inside Appalachia, an NPR podcast. Opens with a look at our healthcare crisis, focusing on a county with just one (very dedicated) doctor. Then a profile of documentary photographer Roger May, who came home to tell his people's stories. Good stuff. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Go lions! Beat the Rust Buckets! @carisadel.bsky.social ... I'm cheering lions cuz... V. Steelers 🤢

Pretty sure Rand Paul is ginning up a run for GOP nomination for POTUS. that should be fun.

Reminder that literally 1000s of predatory lawsuits conducted by Trump have seen he - & his attorneys - faceplant on sloppy discovery. All of them ended in "settlement agreements" with no admission of liability and NDAs. Not sure that will ULTIMATELY be the outcome for him and his criminal mob.

What a clever strategy. F&ck ICE. “The goal of the protests, Newcomb explains, is twofold: to pressure hotels to stop housing ICE agents and disrupt agents’ ability to operate efficiently. She adds that organizers verify through several sources before targeting a hotel where ICE agents are staying.”

Not many things in life will have you pumping your fist in the air, but watching little Tommy Robinson’s (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon’s) face and bravado drop when he gets called out for his racism and hypocrisy by boxer Ty Mitchell is one of them. This is glorious. 🔥

The ACLU's Lee Gelernt has been at the front lines of immigration horrors for longer than most anyone. Here he's giving a map not only of what it means to fly hundreds of Venezuelans to a lawless prison, but more pointedly what it means to defy judicial commands. swap.fm/l/AmicusWith...

Still an Orioles fan, too.

Since there seems to be files getting deleted from the Epstein release, I've made all four dataset zip files available for download. These are the files as they were originally released. (Downloaded within minutes of them being made public) ~3GB in size drive.proton.me/urls/P0XVG30...

Clear example of Stockholm syndrome. Watch oz herd the CEO sheeple into line behind Trump....

@tjsleakyroof.bsky.social wouldn't have believed I'd be grateful for serious dental work today. But it came with equally serious painkillers. Will help me get across the Friday finish line.

If you’ve ever taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, this is the time to live up to it.

Six times bankrupt. Convicted felon. Sexual predator. Pedophile. That's who is addressing the nation right now. Grifter in chief. President of corruption.

So. Much. THIS. Go ahead, blame them. shame them in every possible way. Use every tool in your toolbox to its best effect. Just do it. #FightBackTogether #standup www.facebook.com/share/v/1AbA...

Interesting. I'm happy about this decision. Kochis' comments are, interesting. cvillerightnow.com/news/208802-...

😳🤣🤣🤣 idiots. It's one level of stupid to not know how to produce a TOC or TOA. It's quite another and far more egregious thing to file something this stupid in federal court. Without bothering to proofread it.

Most glaring, open display of SDE ever. I was waiting for him to dangle a fig leaf over his crotch to hide the wilting member.

Naaah. Not weird. Not weird at all. Paging JD Vance to sort out whats weird at the Whitehouse? @atrupar.com

Very excited about this @johnedwinmason.bsky.social ... I missed the first exhibition and delighted to know I'll get a second shot at it! Can't wait!

Until I start seeing police officers stepping up and protecting the public against these ice thugs, they are just as much to blame.

Happening tomorrow night! Support Zyahna’s Holiday Mutual Aid Drive while mingling, snacking, and singing.

Unbelievable. posobiec. Just... Twisted?

Read the whole thread. I'm not tryna influence anyone and @jamellebouie.net seems to get that. I am on insta, YouTube and visit with tiktokers but I'm leaning on bluesky heavily because ⬇️⬇️

Correct

John Oliver really was not kidding about the overwhelming rebellious power of just saying “Fuck you, make me.”
