Anyone having trouble simply logging into the YouTube account? These assholes keep "trying to keep my data safe" supposedly, yet their efforts feel like someone tightening a fucking leash.

Longer quote from KGW. There simply are not an attacks or fires in Portland. Maybe 2020 footage, maybe a different city, who knows. Raises real questions about what is being presented to Trump and how described, by whom, and what he is understanding about the source / time of such videos.

Rachel S.—a U.S. citizen—was beaten unconscious by unlawfully masked ICE agents simply for getting out of her car at Home Depot. She was then taken to Cedars-Sinai Hospital—only to later be forcefully removed against her will. We are demanding an investigation. —H.I.L.L. Network on Instagram

Two major law firms have accused the gun industry’s chief lobbying group of violating the privacy rights of millions of gun owners by running a decades-long program that sent their information to political operatives without consent. By @coreygjohnson.bsky.social

Nick Valencia, who has been doing amazing reporting, just wrote about this: “These Are Abductions.” Newlywed Husband Says Wife Taken During Green Card Interview open.substack.com/pub/nickvale...

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

This was the strategy in LA, lots of videos of mariachi bands and dance parties, people enjoying tacos and street dogs, posted and shared all over social media. It was a powerful disruption of the regime's narrative.

Do do that voodoo that you do so well.

If you're into the 1920s/30s and art depicting common people's lives and night scenes of New York, you'll love the art Martin Lewis (1881 – 1962) made. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_... Here's a small selection of his work;

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

Basically: What Starmer is doing – and what so many Democrats and Democratic operatives/consultants in the U.S. want to emulate – isn’t helping the center-left win elections, but is instead moving public opinion to the Right, which helps ethno-nationalist movements and parties. It’s stupid.

Anyway, @tabouchadi.bsky.social is great on all of this, and I wish political leaders and the liberal / Democratic consultant class would listen. Or at least acknowledge that what they are propagating as “common sense” or "without alternative" in fact goes against all empirical evidence we have.

Claudia Cardinale 🖤

emphasis on the utter incompetence tbh

Watch Sergio Leone's ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST in which Cardinale also stars.

everyone should take three hours out of their day and watch THE LEOPARD, a total masterpiece of a film. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/se...

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

Happy New Year, for those who observe.

shit ain’t over til it’s over

Here are a few advertisers that advertise on Sincair stations: Entertainment/Streaming⬇️ Warner Bros., Disney streaming tie-ins, Tennis Channel sponsors (e.g., Babolat for tennis gear) Food & Beverage⬇️ Wendy's, Coca-Cola, McDonald's Telecom/Digital⬇️ Verizon, Spectrum

Imagine if Richard Nixon had just tweeted out the Watergate scandal rather than putting it on secret tapes. That’s what this is.

Only in America do people get fleeced and robbed by the people who are supposed to help them with healthcare.

Election Conspiracy Theorist Cleta Mitchell Suggests Trump Could Declare a “National Sovereignty” Crisis and Do an Emergency Federal Takeover of the Midterm Elections (He Can’t and It Would Trigger Massive Protests and the Potential End of American Democracy) electionlawblog.org?p=151940

😕 💵

Did Trump’s DOJ shut down this bribery investigation? Was it Attorney General Bondi or FBI Director Patel? The act was caught on camera. The administration must turn over the tapes to Congress. Every decision made by Homan must be scrutinized for possible corruption.

It's not only America my country is catching up fast with the age of stupidity. The same types of monsters are doing the same to our education system and generally making our society dumber and more malleable to their wishes. Brexit was the start.

Some good news: Yesterday, FDA granted accelerated approval for elamipretide, the drug my niece relies on for treatment of her rare disease. This was the result of tireless advocacy by patients, caregivers, and allies. THANK YOU to everyone who shared Hope’s story. I truly believe it helped.

🧵This is a serious use of force violation. The violent attack of this woman must be prosecuted by Chicago/Illinois for violation of state’s rights. I’m going to break this down. You see her blocking the ICE van. Agents violently push her to the ground. Then you see 1 guy target her & choke her.

This is Jay Jacobs. He faced pressure from AOC to resign when he failed to do ANY opposition research into George Santos & other NY GOP candidates allowing them to win seats and flip the congress in 2022. He refused. But NOW he is willing to step down to spite Zohran. 😡😡

From President Lyndon B. Johnson to the Smothers Brothers, who had a popular, bold, and very funny political satire TV show in the late '60s. I'm old enough to remember it. They regularly skewered Johnson (Vietnam War era), and for all his faults, was elegant enough to respond thus.

🧵For those who missed it, Larry Ellison is on the verge of becoming one of the most powerful media & entertainment moguls America has ever seen If you fear Brendan Carr, fear Ellison more He's already a major stakeholder in CBS & Paramount. Now CNN, HBO & major share of TikTok are in his sights

Insurers sometimes deny coverage citing lack of progress, labeling patients’ conditions as chronic. Yet if they do make progress, insurers have also used that to argue patients no longer need treatment. Doctors are left to walk a tightrope. (Published Dec. 2024)

It’s oddly comforting when people who push deeply immoral public policy are shown to be horrible people generally. Like, it would be unsettling if Homan were a straight arrow who paid for operations for orphans.
