We will either end fossil fuel dependency and the predatory extractivist basis of global production, or they will end us through wars and ecological collapse - all at the same time.

"2025 was tough. It was painful. This was the year that America broke open. Now the seedy interior of what lies within so many structures of power in our country has been revealed. It is not pretty." -- @sifill.bsky.social

They wouldn't be conducting serial cognitive tests on him if he wasn't already being treated for dementia. But because we have the most spineless Congress and compromised SCOTUS in American history, it doesn't matter in the least.

Here in the desert SW, we get to watch the Times Square ball drop at 10pm and then we go to bed. This year we will say good riddance to 2025, and may 2026 bring accountability to those who are responsible for atrocities against humanity. Amen.

In 2021, I left Big Law and built my own law firm to protect democracy. In 2020, I saw what corporate overlords were doing to media, so I decided to build Democracy Docket. Now, I need your help to make it grow and thrive. Support its 22 person team by becoming a member today. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

This!

how about one of you wealthy liberal groups on here counter these bullshit ICE ads that air during NFL games with accurate information? it’s not that hard to figure out messaging but let’s talk more about why i should vote for dems.

I wrote very very few things this year (not counting walking audio stories through Prospect Park) but this was my best. For @lukeoneil47.bsky.social’s Welcome to Hell World: www.welcometohellworld.com/hurt-the-hel...

This was a year of legacy media capitulation. I created Democracy Docket to never back down or obey. It has no corporate backers, venture capitalists or private equity investors. It is only accountable to its members who support its 22-person team. Become one now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

I don't think most Americans have any idea how dangerous it is for a president to declare an entire ethnic group to be "garbage." This is how the worst atrocities in human history have begun.

The U.S. government just banned five people from entering the country because it doesn’t like their speech. This ban, according to the State Department, is necessary to protect free speech. If that sounds insane to you, congratulations on your reading comprehension.

If it were Democrats in the Trump Epstein files there wouldn't be redactions. This is all Trump and Trump donors.

Important thread. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

RFK Jr. knows that gender-affirming care is suicide prevention. And we know that he wants trans kids dead. There are no secrets.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

Super cool

Our formerly world class Centers for Disease Control has fallen.

"p-hacking" is when dishonest scientists try multiple analytical paths to find one that finally indicates statistical significance. It's dishonest because it knowingly inflates or even manufactures effects. Anti-vax "studies" do it all the time. One more reason EXPERTISE is needed to assess data.

I need a clever name for my new Roomba.

It's hard to fathom but we are now *here* on this path to fascism.

Important information for consumers. 🔽

I am convinced in the future we will look back and realise the sheer unimaginable folly of letting a virus that can cause immune dysregulation and cognitive dysfunction in humans infect and re-infect the global population over and over again. Worse still, that we encouraged it.

Trump and Republicans in Congress seem to love socialism for the rich -- corporate welfare, subsidies, and tax breaks galore. Yet they demand harsh capitalism for the rest of America.

The country’s 10 richest billionaires have seen their wealth increase by nearly $700 billion since Trump reentered the White House. Meanwhile, fundraising for essential expenses on GoFundMe increased by 20% over the past year. “Golden Age” for who?

Walz: "To watch people word salad - there's too damn many guns & wrong types of guns on the street. I don't want to hear 'how do you define assault weapon?' I damn sure can tell you what it does & unfortunately we have a bunch of parents now who know a lot more about what these weapons do"

EXTEND THE SUBSIDIES while you figure out your "grand new plan." Why do Republicans all have to be this way? Lying, gaslighting, obfuscating. The absolute dumbest takes. 🤬

Thank you, Indiana.

Brown: Autocrats don’t fear the disease or the babies dying from whooping cough — they fear the evidence of it, because evidence exposes their failures, demands accountability, and empowers the public.

Trump says he's expanding the travel ban to 30+ countries, & if a country doesn't have a "stable government," it's on the list. I'm willing to bet all 30+ nations are: 1. Black or brown majority 2. Nations USA has intervened to destabilize their Govt White supremacy continues to thrive in 2025 USA.

Safety nets prevent abuse and ensure the safety of everyone; the only people who don't want safety nets are Fascists who want corporations to abuse their workers, and want the fear of homelessness to keep people in line.

Dr. Bill Cassidy’s legacy as a hepatologist, will be that he brought about more liver disease. Put that in his obit.

"When there’s no war, you aren’t committing war crimes when you kill people indiscriminately. You’re just a straight-up murderer."

3 Questions: 1) What are we doing? 2) How is this pro-life? 3) What are we doing? www.themirror.com/news/us-news...

This is the crux of the bargain white ppl made voting for trump & the gop. "Rid us of brown ppl & make white ppl the majority again & we will sacrifice our jobs, savings, homes, and even children." They 💯 factored in those losses & decided it was worth it. That's why nothing else he does matters

Cornyn just repeated the 15-year old lie about Democrats flat refusing to work with Republicans on the ACA. Facts: They worked together for three years and then adopted more Republican amendments than Democratic ones. Then not one single Republican voted for it and they’ve lied about it ever since.

Money well spent. Subscribe to Democracy Docket if you possibly can.

“The voices that matter most – trans young people, their families, the clinicians who work with them and trans health experts in Aotearoa – have been clear: access to puberty blockers is crucial.” Young trans people need access to transition healthcare. We must listen to them, not to transphobes.

Condemning the “horrors” of socialism. But not the horrors of ICE, racial profiling, dragging people into unmarked cars, without warrants, without ID’s, and disappearing them to who knows where. No condemnation there. There. Are. No. Good. Republicans.
