‼️This is Kyiv today, morning hours of December 27th 2025, where russia is once again sending UAV’s to DIRECTLY HIT residential buildings & murder civilians in their homes! Tell me again how much the terrorist state currently carrying out a genocide in Europe “want peace”..

Residential areas were damaged following the arrival of Russian Shahed drones. This is not warfare, it is terror, carried out deliberately, day after day.

"Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is the best guarantee of their loyalty."

“Was passiert, wenn die Ukraine nicht weitermacht?” www.zeit.de/politik/ausl...

The Christmas tradition of concluding the seasonal celebrations with families being torn to pieces by a dragon fell out of popularity after the Victorian era.

Sounds of Kyiv tonight. Russia is attacking us with missiles and drones

Trump ordered airstrikes on ISIS targets in Nigeria, claiming it was about protecting Christians. But people on the ground say that narrative doesn’t match reality. “In Jabo, we see Christians as our brothers. We don’t have religious conflicts, so we weren’t expecting this.” 1/2

"..Phone scam syndicates were using leaked data on an industrial scale, while Ukrainian intelligence had learned to exploit the country’s porous information landscape to identify and assassinate military officials inside Russia.

“There are two types of people who will tell you that you cannot make a difference in this world: those who are afraid to try and those who are afraid you will succeed.” - Ray Goforth

Not to be controversial but I think we should use tools and resources to make people's lives less miserable instead of more

Dec. 15, 1925: Construction workers from the Iroquois Indians' Kanamake reservation in Canada drive rivets on the framework of the Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center being built in uptown Manhattan.

In Park Chan-wook’s “No Other Choice,” an adaptation of a 1997 satirical crime novel, Lee Byung-hun plays a newly laid-off executive who launches his own campaign of mass termination. @justincchang.bsky.social reviews the new comic thriller. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/WOGWRp

An industry is 100% white: nothing to see here An industry becomes 99% white: grab the rocket launchers, file the lawsuits, make up the imaginary white men who are being discriminated against otherwise we will all die

The thesis of the book is that early COVID lockdowns weren't worth it and mid-COVID mitigation measures like masks, contact tracing and business closures don't work. This is laughably false and the authors have endorsed the people now running Trump's HHS.

This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.

🇨🇦🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: I had a call with Prime Minister of Canada Mark Carney. It was a very good conversation, and I appreciate it. I updated the Prime Minister on the status of our diplomatic efforts with the United States, as well as the first documents that can be assumed to be ready.

Anyway, Trump uses ableism as a weapon. It shouldn't be a weapon and no need to stoop to his level.

When the history of this cruel era is written, the shame should be no less than the shame we now feel about the roundups and detention of Japanese Americans in World War II. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-brazen-cruelty-of-the-trump-regime

I can’t believe they’re doing this to the only person on earth who’s won the FIFA peace prize.

The board should give itself a Pulitzer for this.

Incredible what you find when you start looking for data on the "white men can't get jobs anymore" phenomenon www.peoplespolicyproject.org/2025/12/17/w...

It is a sign of epistemic collapse because the whole concept is based on pseudo-scientific notions of racial or genetic propensity for crime or violence, and has come up through the consppiratorial milieu of European Identitarianism ...

It is a sign of democratic collapse because explicit white racism appears to be the policy of the US Government. Non white citizens no longer have the same protection under the law as white ones. We are all potentially identifiable as members of "disruptive populations"

Sure, this is racist rage bait being typed out by some young social media manager who cooked his teenage brain on the chans, but ...

‘Remigration’ is a term that comes out of the European far right. Its use by the DHS account is a sign of democratic and epistemic collapse

When I was on CNN's northeast desk, the first job at 6a every morning was to read the local papers. That guided some of what the massive CNN machine followed every day. When those papers die, CNN doesn't hire new regional reporters. What you get instead is more panel shows, more punditry.

Sharing my favorite meme, as a treat

Our supposedly Christian president has deported Christian families who face persecution, torture and death to Iran multiple times this year and as recently as December 7.

Eleanor Holmes' 'Melon Moon' is a surreal collage which evokes the magic of storytelling shared between a mother and her child. @eleanorholmes.bsky.social Read it here: inksweatandtears.co.uk/eleanor-holme #12DaysOf #FilmPoem #ChristmasPoem

Many Americans this year realized just how dangerous the world is, from threats within, not just externally. Finland, a country of some of my ancestors, was founded in late 1917. They sustained a civil war and massive invasion. They live prepared for harsh reality. www.fpri.org/article/2025...

It’s factual that real people get real material needs met through mutual aid online, things that keep them alive. It’s factual that people who would not be surviving genocide are because of online mutual aid. I’ve seen the proof that it’s real.

Merry Christmas everyone Remember what Jesus said: tax the rich, don’t be an asshole, and keep on loving one another

Hope everyone is muddling through somehow

Carol of the Bells sounded after the Christmas greeting by King Charles. It was performed by the Songs for Ukraine choir and the Royal Opera Choir.

Yo I don’t know how this ended up on my feed but it hurt my feelings real bad! All these people desperately begging for their lives on here & this is how they’re seen by the other bluesky. On fucking Christmas. A douchebag to block.

Pope Leo XIV urges the faithful to shed indifference in face of suffering

Here’s the U.S. government being officially religious in a country with no official religion.

Regardless of whether you celebrate Christmas or not, Bramble hopes you have a lovely day 💚

On the darkest days, I always write the most optimistic texts. This one is called “What Ukraine Should Do with Russia”. open.substack.com/pub/vika4goo...

This part too: “In the most pointed section, Leo criticized the globalized economy…’While a distorted economy leads us to treat human beings as mere merchandise,’ he said, ‘God becomes like us, revealing the infinite dignity of every person.’”

“Merry Christmas to all, including the Radical Left Scum that is doing everything possible to destroy our Country…”

Taiwan moves to expand assisted reproduction access for single and queer women Women’s groups welcomed the Cabinet’s approval of draft amendments to the Assisted Reproduction Act, saying the changes mark significant progress for women’s reproductive autonomy.

Merry Christmas everyone, and spare a thought for those we have lost www.rfi.fr/en/internati...

something i learned when a fact checker hired by @swordsjew.bsky.social called me is that books only have fact checkers if the author insists on it or even hires one themselves. you can put anything in a book. that was the only fact checker i’ve ever talked to but i’ve been quoted in other books
