Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Bloomberg has a really good story on how scandalous Trump's pardon of Juan Orlando Hernández is. This is just the first ¶ of 3-¶¶ on sources, but gives a sense of who would want to tell similar stories. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

"AIPAC knows their brand is toxic." "AIPAC donors have supported its picks by giving to other dark-money groups." "The candidates can say they received money from donors, not AIPAC, to avoid association." #California #USA #Gaza #Palestine #Israel #Genocide #Military #Weapons #Voting

Not ONE JOURNALIST has asked VD Vance when he was asked to apologize for being white None. Zero. Not One. My news friends- if you want us to take you seriously then you have to follow up on the crazy bullshit they say. NON-NEGOTIABLE!

Special prosecutors on day 1. Everyone in this administration who broke laws— including every ICE agent who ever kidnapped anyone— must go to prison. All of Epstein’s buddies prosecuted too, Democrat or Republican doesn’t matter. Has to be this way or this country won’t survive.

The people of Iran are risking their lives in the streets, chanting death to the dictator and death to the Islamic Republic. May 2026 finally be the year they break free from the terrorists who have been holding them hostage for 46 years ❤️🤍💚🦁

🇺🇸 You are patriots, and while none of us picked this fight, we won’t be getting pushed around, either. 🇺🇸 So let me tell you this with precision and a mountain of resolve as we shed the ghastly 2025, and march heads held high into 2026: WE WILL HAVE OUR DAY. 🇺🇸 Happy New Year! ✊🏼

WSJ editorial on the latest of the hundreds of tariff walkbacks by trump (this one for furniture): “Rarely has a President worked so hard to cover the damage from his policies without admitting it.”

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this. He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

It is terrible that Trump and Hegseth are ordering the wanton and unjustified killings of civilians, and doing so in our name. It is terrible that Republicans in Congress are unwilling to stop or even investigate them.

A scorched boat washed ashore on a remote beach in Colombia. Then mangled bodies. And then empty packets, a few with marijuana traces. We matched the physical and digital evidence to a U.S. airstrike — and found a fishing community terrified to go to sea. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/29/w...

there has not been nearly enough coverage of how anti-trans activists cloaked in the guise of journalism are responsible for undermining public faith in scientific expertise. singal is emblematic of a now dominant strain of science journalism that has nothing but contempt for science and scientists

White America voted to install the Christian White Nationalist policy overhaul, Project 2025; the 900-pg doc is proudly anti-science and anti-research. The funding for a potential ✨breast cancer cure✨ has been eliminated b/c White America wouldn’t support the sitting Vice President—b/c she’s Black.

Mamdani: I promise you this. If you are a New Yorker, I am your mayor. Regardless of whether we agree, I will protect you, celebrate with you, mourn alongside you, and never, not for a second, hide from you

Curtis Yarvin, JD Vance’s friend & ideological influence, ended 2025 by claiming “only Hitler spoke the truth” about “too many subjects” & “Hitler was a genius.” Extremism isn’t fringe on the right. Once marginal online extremists like Yarvin are influential at the highest levels of government.

Congratulations procrastinators! You haven’t done **** all year! #HappyNewYear #2026

Lexi asked us to post this message. @bsky.app has not responded to any appeal

This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.

@bsky.app @support.bsky.team Free Lexi Alexander, one of the most important voices on this platform.

just so it's clear: this is the exact core function of genAI Fascist government and climate deniers love it because it can produce the aesthetics of knowledge without any actual tendency towards truth. It is automated denialism. Shame on every climate scientist promoting its use (there are lots)

Bob and I were among the hundreds of researchers that were supposed to conduct the 6th U.S. National Climate Assessment. Now it looks like they're gonna produce it with a few people and Grok? Communities need rigorous and accurate information about climate change. This will put communities at risk.

The Israeli government sinks even lower. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

Israel’s government says it will suspend the licenses of dozens of humanitarian groups operating in Gaza beginning Thursday, which relief workers say will lead to deeper suffering and difficulty receiving medicine. https://wapo.st/4qxbFWC

“The Trump administration is closing NASA’s largest research library on Friday, a facility that houses tens of thousands of books, documents and journals — many of them not digitized or available anywhere else.”

JACK SMITH’S ATTORNEY: “The most powerful person in the world (Trump) has said Mr. Smith should be in jail because of his work as special counsel… in the face of those threats Mr. Smith appears today undaunted.”

Jack Smith Testimony released today: “President Trump was by a large measure the most culpable and most responsible person in this conspiracy. These crimes were committed for his benefit. The attack that happened at the Capitol…does not happen without him”

They think that they can check your kid’s genitals in case they’re trans. They’re not going to stop. These are domestic terrorists who support pedophiles. A lot of the time, they ARE pedophiles themselves. Don’t let them into daycares and schools (duh).

Jack Smith: I believe we had proof beyond a reasonable doubt in both cases.

Imagine scientists could invent an effective, safe, cheap way to prevent a wide range of terrible diseases and the people in charge of the nation's health system worked hard to stop people from using them. That would be crazy. Criminal. Immoral. Inexcusable. #impeachRFKJr

The share of counties where 95% or more of kindergartners were vaccinated against measles has dropped from 50% before the pandemic to 28%, according to our analysis of public records from 44 states and the District of Columbia. At least 19,000 schools are now more vulnerable to outbreaks.

This opinion is bad news for the Trump administration, which is going to have to defend itself against Abrego Garcia’s claim he’s being vindictively prosecuted. But that claim is supported by some of the government’s own emails. Read the details here: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

MN GOP openly admitted today that they conspired with the racist YouTuber who ginned up these racist attacks

A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings. “It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale. This is where Silicon Valley authoritarianism is heading: www.thenerdreich.com/joe-lonsdale...

He donated $1.8 million to Trump and hired Pam Bondi’s brother as his pardon attorney. Defrauded hundreds of millions from people. Walked away free. Not Somali.

Eight Democrats took a GOP handshake instead of locking in ACA protections. Now the ACA subsidies are set to expire. Families are bracing for higher premiums. And the senators responsible are nowhere to be found.

The first physical evidence of Trump’s airstrikes on boats has now been examined by the NYT. No fentanyl. No cocaine. Just burned packets with traces of marijuana. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/29/w...

It is irresponsible and dangerous for the CMS Administrator (a physician who knows better) to downplay the importance of getting the flu vaccine. Reminder: The US had ~38,000 flu deaths in the 2024-25 season.

BREAKING: Judge Amy Berman Jackson rejects OLC and Russell Vought's effort "to starve the CFPB of funding." Her order clarifies that the preliminary injunction she earlier entered in the case over Vought's efforts to "dismantle" the agency does not allow the new funding interpretation.

The president doesn't have the authority to act as judge, jury, and executioner. Congress must stop these illegal and immoral strikes, and officials who carried them out must be held accountable.
