Killing any person, at home and abroad, because Trump wants them killed? This is the end of that poem, folks. theintercept.com/2025/12/12/t...

Remarkable how brutal the ruling against Trump on Abrego Garcia truly is: It details flagrant and malicious abuses of power all throughout. Trump and Stephen Miller were testing their ability to spread lawless state terror. But the court held the line. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2043...

Is the Washington Post’s editorial board intentionally infuriating WaPo readers? If so, it’s working. https://presswatchers.org/2025/12/washington-post-readers-revolt-against-bezoss-editorial-board/

Trump sent Vance there twice. He threatened to cut off all federal spending to the state. He vowed to back primary challengers of any Republican who voted against him here. He posted their names online, prompting his fans to send them death threats. But all that failed, so now he wasn't involved.

The order creates an Justice Department task force to challenge state AI laws, and directs the Commerce Department to pull future broadband funding from states that pass “onerous” legislation. www.wired.com/story/trump-...

NEW: President Donald Trump says he is granting a pardon to Tina Peters, who was convicted on state charges related to tampering with Colorado's election systems. Legal experts say presidential pardons do not apply to state charges.

One under-appreciated part of this: note the bit below about “and their dependents.” Under the Trump admin’s new policy, dependent children of visa applicants are not allowed to have their social media set to private during the entire visa process. They MUST make their social media public.

Exactly

I'm not sure it needs any more help...

Ikke dra til USA. Trump vil ha din DNA. Og all info om din familie. Og hver person du har ringt de siste fem årene. Og mer. Mye mer.

1/31 Meet project "Good Old USA" the now unsealed DoJ file on the Russian influence in the US to sway opinion on the war in Ukraine. Something Trump has bought into hook-line and sinker. It was held under seal, because we got the literal playbook revealing their methods

"You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They don’t need that many. And you don't need 37 gold baby carriages. 2 or 3 is nice. You must go without, even though affordability is a hoax. See? I've fixed the problem!"

So much easier to just use the U.S. military to steal from other countries than to actually earn it or make deals, amirite? Thanks, John Roberts, for unleashing this lifelong criminal.

Ok, random story about my dad, the Argentinian med student that barely escaped the secret police and ended up finishing his MD in Norway and worked as a doctor way way west in Norway till the day he died. The people out there are next level.

Whole of the American economy is now piracy.

Chris Rufo literally was a core figure in boosting a lie that Haitian immigrants in an Ohio town ate pets. He offered a bounty for “information” after the lie was repeatedly debunked. Spare us the navel-gazing nonsense.

The titular wokeness being rolled back is the Civil Rights Act of 1964

In the course of a few days the U.S has published a security strategy that basically calls for the destruction of Europe, a U.S. representative has proposed a bill to withdraw the U.S. from NATO, and the Danish intelligence service has publically designated the U.S. as a threat to Denmark. Media:

If you make a billion dollars — or $500 million or even $100 million dollars — and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.

Are Norwegian newspapers just not going to write about this? Am I missing something? This feels like news to me, but maybe they do this so much it stopped being news?

Såååå dette skjedde. #CRPD #funksjonshemmede #menneskerettigheter

MAGA dating profile: "If you can't handle me at my racist, you don't deserve me at my sexist."

The first paragraph of Judge Breyer‘s opinion granting an injunction in the California National Guard case is a banger.

He will make it up, just like he made up the lie that my team censored 22 million tweets. Except this time, he’ll be making up lies about people living outside of the US, pretending they are “linked to the CIA” —his usual bullshit trope, which has real consequences in some countries. He won’t care.

BREAKING: The DOJ has filed its opposition to my motion for expedited processing of the EPSTEIN TRAINING VIDEOS. They're arguing that there's NO WIDESPREAD PUBLIC INTEREST. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-doj-re...

Trump has now 3* taken a cognitive exam intended to assess dementia. It shows if Trump is capable of taking a bus alone, or can safely have access to a stove. Trump can annihilate the world with nukes. Alone & in 15 minutes. And thinks this extremely easy test we all can see online is very hard.

There could be an irreversible retreat of parts of the ice sheets, raising sea levels much faster than currently planned.

Corporations and ultra-rich individuals with numerous business interests cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own bottom lines. When billionaire conglomerates take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

Anyone interested in the rise of techno-authoritarianism/broligarchs and why they're targeting Europe, I've stumbled on this great resource. Use it. authoritarian-stack.info cc @francescabria.bsky.social

Nothing like spending tens of thousands of dollars for a shitbox that might burn you alive and definitely funds a Nazi's political project. #TeslaTakedown #MuskMustFall

It's the crudest form of social darwinism. I weep for the children who will die when a vaccine (or other appropriate science-created, data-backed treatment) could have saved their life.

In an appearance on Kremlin TV, Sergei Karaganov makes Russia's intentions very clear. "We’re at war with Europe, not Ukraine — and the war won’t end until Europe is defeated."

America’s Nero

Europe’s populist worries will intensify when right-wing billionaire Andrej Babiš becomes Czech prime minister today.

This is how the president of the US regards European countries.

Hvis noen andre enn snuteblekka VG skrev denne saken ville journalisten trolig ha spurt hva de kriminelle tjener penger på, eller hva gruppene slåss om. Er det kanskje noe vi kunne.. regulert? www.vg.no/nyheter/i/L4...

“I’d have no problem releasing the video” “I didn’t say that, you said that. Fake news.” 5 days apart 😬 (From @therecount.com )

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Axios reports Trump envoys pushed Zelensky for immediate consent to cede Ukrainian territory to Russia. After meeting Putin in Moscow, their “peace proposal” worsened, offering tougher terms on territorial concessions and control over the Zaporizhzhia NPP, sidestepping security guarantees.

A new study shows that over 90% of insect biomass declines are driven by shrinking species numbers, posing a risk to ecosystem function. www.idiv.de/majority-of-... #biodiversity

Pro Sentret er et hjelpetilbud for personer med erfaring fra sexsalg, og nasjonalt kompetansesenter om prostitusjon. På fredag fikk de beskjed om at fem årsverk, i en stab på 17, skal bort. God jul fra Velferdsetaten i Oslo kommune. Jeg tillater meg å dele teksten til @renland.bsky.social her:

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders just now:

When Pete Hegseth spoke to reporters about National Guard members shot in DC, he said: “I mentioned the faith of this country, the Christian faith.” Hegseth's ties to white Christian Nationalism are alarming and dangerous. religiondispatches.org/not-a-single...
