So say we all.

What has happened since the Court upheld the TikTok ban makes a mockery of the gvt’s claims that TikTok was an urgent national security risk—and of the court that deferred to those claims Wrote w @jameeljaffer.bsky.social abt why TikTok should haunt the Court www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

AI is shaking up OnlyFans. Chatbots are replacing the Filipino workers who pretend to be models in DMs with fans, and AI-generated images are so realistic that they cannot be distinguished from real photos https://restofworld.org/2025/onlyfans-ai-dm-bots

“I voted once for Trump in 2016 — I’ve learned right wing media is just a propaganda machine… ask yourself if the principles of this administration are actually in line with the teachings of Jesus. All they’re doing is exploiting the poor for the benefit of the billionaires.”

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's. Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1. Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

Merrick Garland hid this from us for 4 YEARS, and allowed this disgusting monster to be reelected

No one lays it out better than this young man. He knows what Christianity is and isn't. And should heed his words and remember that 'christian Nationalism' is the #1 enemy of our Constitution and for that matter freedom of religion. They are propping Trump up. #Resist #Fight #ForOurChildren

Women felt empowered by #MeToo so instead of evolving and learning to respect boundaries bro culture surged and retaliated. Do I have this right? They couldn’t not rape, control and brutalize? Women lost reproductive rights within this Broligarchy. The real or perceived loss of control scared them.

Loser Leavitt v. Beloved Cher❓❓❓ Seriously, someone should inform the Loser Leavitt that real women eat little wind-up Barbies like herself for breakfast...and still have room left over for a sizable lunch. She plays with unintelligent lightweights (that's English for maga), not women like Cher.

This is how a leader speaks

With ZERO fucks left to give, Caroline Kennedy, throws down the gauntlet on the loathsome piece of shit for his desecration of The Kennedy Center. 😳👇

See his pursuit of the Nobel Peace Prize is going well! 😒

Absolutely 💯 True......

It never ceases to amaze me how "proud" they are of what they are doing. Bragging about it all over the TV. Right up until someone wants to actually see what they are up to. Then you get a door slammed in your face, redactions that cover entire pages, and you get called a "Domestic Terrorist".

He and his people have decimated our ability to adequately defend this country. One well-placed strike and our country, possibly the whole world, is over in a couple of hours.

GOP operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, convicted election fraudsters, were paid $960,000 in the second quarter to secure a pardon for a former nursing-home operator who defrauded the government of $38 million. Trump pardoned the man, Joseph Schwartz, last month.

How lovely

Christmas in the East Wing, 2023. 🎄

From “shining city on a hill” to “pariah Putin apologist checking your social media history at the door.”

My entire X timeline is anti-EU posts from people I don't follow. Even if I change it from 'for you' to 'following', it switches back to 'for you' each time I open the site. X is being weaponised against the EU. And unfortunately X is still the public square for European journalists & politicians.

Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel. "Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

I use the research by CCDH in my own work. This action by US government is shocking and unconstitutional. All researchers are in danger. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/25/u...

The U.S. Army made this film in 1943 to warn Americans that prejudices can divide us

I wonder which of our cities will hold our Nuremberg trials. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Too bad that if the administration watched Ken Burns’ American Revolution they wouldn’t believe it was history but some leftist radical “woke” plot to destroy the country. The truth is if everyone watched it it would destroy them.

This is profoundly un-American. No—that's not right. It's *anti*-American. It's hatred of the United States and its founding documents and all its people and all its traditions. The person who wrote and approved this is a weirdo who detests everything that America stands for.

Sadly….MAGA. This is a warning. A MUST watch. youtu.be/MoReVkF-UZ0?...

From our family to yours, merry Christmas! We hope your day is filled with good people and good food.

It’s Christmas Eve. I’m tired of being called Radical Left Scum by Donald Trump. I’m a veteran, a 20+ year sworn law enforcement officer, and unlike him, not a f’ing felon. So, how about America starts pushing back when he attacks everyday people who know what a psychopath he is?

If you're alone this Christmas, a reminder that 988 Crisis hotline is always available. I say this because I live in a +55 & this morning, my neighbor walked out into the parking lot & shot himself. A good man, Vietnam vet. with health/drink/drug issues. Please seek help.

Hundreds of records of December highest minimums are also falling in nearly 2 dozens states including Arizona. For example Phoenix had a Minimum of 63F, a new December record (Winter hot nights records are not very high in the desert)

Now that Bari Weiss pulled a segment telling the truth about Trump's deportations to let Stephen Miller have his say (i.e. spread propaganda), it's a good time to check out our deep dive into Miller's real worldview and agenda, which doesn't pull any punches: newrepublic.com/article/2041...

What we’re being told is that a guy who is an adjudicated rapist, who was credibly accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, who paid hush money to a porn star, who cheated on all his wives, who is mentioned hundreds of times in the Epstein files, couldn’t possibly be a sexual predator.
