here's today's post: "no, idiots, Los Angeles isn’t on fire because of ‘diversity.’ shut the fuck up" — America’s bigots are at it again. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

I’m from Hollywood. They could’ve thrown $500 billion into the fire department and they couldn’t Buck hundred mile an hour winds for fucks sake anybody ever been in a Santa Ana?

While LA firefighters were running out of water… Rick Caruso, the real estate developer and former L.A. mayoral candidate, hired private firefighters to save his upscale shopping center in Pacific Palisades on Tuesday night. The question is: did he use public water for this?

"Nobody gets angrier than a narcissist being accused of something they actually did." Hide your ketchup.

So much of our fight is training the electorate to detect MAGA propaganda. When Trump does an event like the one in Greenland claiming he has supporters there who support his ideas, the default needs to be skepticism. This is due to his track record of fake and staged events.

Activists???? Surprisingly bad framing from Pro Publica.

Trump Nominee Threatened Doctor With Bullet Hole Target Sheet Per Restraining Order Trump’s re-nomination of previously Senate-rejected Christine Toretti raises concerns

President Jimmy Carter once asked how he felt about writing he responded with a twinkle in his eye: “It beats picking cotton.” He’s published 32 books: memoirs, poetry,a children’s story illustrated by his daughter, a paean to faith, an ode to his mother & a novel set during the Revolutionary War.

Bernie Sanders, nailing it again 🎯

Dear FUCK-FACE, Leave Canada the fuck alone. Leave Denmark and Greenland the fuck alone. Leave the Gulf of Mexico the fuck alone. Leave Tik-Tok the fuck alone. Focus on The United States of America or resign. Best, The Majority

I support the people of California and Governor Gavin Newsom during this very difficult & horrible time.

■ History lover friends, you can request documents you would like to see from the Ottoman archives. Country, city, topic, century..

Thank you!

There is a small silver lining. The lawsuit Smartmatic vs. Fox has been given the greenlight to proceed. Perhaps another massive payout after losing will have the heads at Fox reconsider their "news" approach. Doubt it, but hopeful.

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million. That is a lie. The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

Eric Braedon: The orange idiot went on television.. and claimed all kinds of things about Newsom and California and the water distribution. All nonsense..

Sen. John Fettermanchin

This fucking rancid white man (Jesse Watters) is blaming the California fires on Natives. Nice scalp you got there Jesse. Be a shame if something “happened to it.”

NEW: Platformer has obtained the dehumanizing new guidelines moderating what people can now say about trans people on Facebook and Instagram. Employees tell me these changes are likely to inspire more violence against LGBT people: www.platformer.news/meta-new-tra...

BREAKING: Mob boss falls asleep at former president's funeral

A lot of people will criticize @johnfetterman.com for visiting trump. Don't. Imo, the best way to win voters is to do all you can to represent your constituents first. Your party last. Voters want results. If he can use Trump to get that. Amen.

Good morning from 100 Centre Street in Manhattan, where the President-elect is set to be criminally sentenced on 34 felony convictions for falsification of business records. I’m here with @tylermcbrien.bsky.social and @katherinepomps.bsky.social for @lawfare.bsky.social. Follow along 👇 ⬇️🧵

Mike Luckovich gets it right as he always does

Blue Lady Slipper Orchid. There is still beauty in the world.

felon-rapist trump is inheriting: - Strong, with consumer spending increasing and real GDP growing; - US economy closed out 2024 with another solid month of job gains; - U.S.sharp decline in murders and other crimes in 2024;

Top-notch photography is often about choosing the right angle and perspective.

Brief check in- Bleak House was so far, spared. We hand carried over 100 pieces out of the collecton. Many friends lost their homes. Helping them now. Will be absent here for a while. Stay safe.

My prediction, sadly, for Trumps sentencing.. "Justice Juan M. Merchan of Manhattan Supreme Court has indicated that he plans to give Mr. Trump a unconditional discharge" ...community service and mandated counseling. Just my guess... !! The Grift that keeps on grifting 🎁🚫

Breaking: US Department of Justice to release limited final report on Trump cases "The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) says it will release volume one of special counsel Jack Smith’s report on President-elect Donald Trump’s election interference case." #Trump #DOJ san.com/cc/us-depart...

A judge has overruled another judge’s ruling that would have released Spafford. She wrote that “Nothing in the Bail Reform Act requires that the Court wait until Defendant actually blows someone or something up" before it detains him. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I feel like everyone is acting as though the release of Volume I is a foregone conclusion. It’s not. The 11th Circuit has to give the green light, and Clarence Thomas has to refuse to intervene.

It’s ok to feel sick over the state of things.

On Christmas Eve when Trump talked about taking over Greenland, the Panama Canal & even Canada, I took him seriously & wrote about it. He was back at it today. joycevance.substack.com/p/christmas-...
