The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

im sorry i know it sucks but journalists are going to have to be willing to get fired for simply describing what they see happening with their own eyes, you look like fucking morons

it is the policy of this government to treat democratic-led states as conquered territories and the people therein as something like hostiles or even enemy combatants

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

“yes he’s a criminal but the crimes don’t SOUND cool enough” is such loser behavior

‘We have a new role’: mayors across the world increasingly taking on society’s biggest challenges

JUSTICE FOR TIM

Reporter: Did you speak with the oil companies before the operation? Did you tip them off? Trump: Before and after. They want to go in and they’re going to do a great job.

There is no plan.

I’ve been online for quite a bit this morning and the only democratic responses i can find to what happened yesterday are from those far from formal leadership roles. The fact that D leaders have not already resigned in disgrace is just as big a problem as the criminal racket trump is running

the administration wants to frame this (bizarrely) as law enforcement. but if law enforcement conducted a raid for a suspect and killed 40 people, including an unknown number of unarmed civilians, it would be treated as a clear disaster like Waco.

The kidnapping of Maduro inaugurates a highly dangerous era of U.S. empire that for perhaps the first time in an era of mass media is not pretending to be anything other than a violent, extractive enterprise of domination.

And there ya have it… Officials from top Wall Street firms will be traveling to Venezuela to investigate “investment prospects” of the country. “The trip will feature about 20 officials from the finance, energy and defense sectors.”

where oh where is the congress i elected to make these decisions

“previous presidents lacked the courage- or whatever” - our president yells as he fully goes off the rails

NEW from me: Currently on tap for Tony Dokoupil on his first day as CBS Evening News anchor -- taking a private plane to Miami to so he can go jet skiing with DJ Khaled and play soccer with David Beckham. Take that, elites! www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Masked agents dragged a teacher from her classroom. They pepper-sprayed a toddler. They shot a father of two, for the crime of trying to go to work. This is Trump’s America—and we need your help to keep exposing it. trib.al/CeYNttK

We spoke with Alex Vitale, author of The End of Policing and a member of Zohran Mamdani's transition team, about the new Department of Community Safety and why it will only succeed if a large, organized movement keeps the pressure on after election day. @alexvitale.bsky.social

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

The White House is expected to invite past Trump appointees to rejoin the Commission of Fine Arts, seeking members likely to clear the way for the president’s controversial ballroom and other projects.

They didn't just freeze child care payments to Minnesota because of their fraudulent "fraud" video. They froze them to *every state*. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

like 75% of dem messaging right now should be “the party led by epsteins best friend is breaking into pre-k childcare centers so they can record your toddlers and put the videos on internet”

5 million-plus kindergartners now live in counties where schools don’t have “herd immunity” for measles, Washington Post reporters found. WaPo also built a tool to look up your own county. Exceptional, and alarming work by @laurenweberhp.bsky.social @caitlingilbert.bsky.social et al. (Gift link.)

When Nick Shirley arrived to "test" if he could enroll his son "Joey" in Minneapolis day cares, his viral video omitted that he showed up with an entourage of masked men acting like security, multiple vehicles including vans, cameras, and men who wouldn't identify themselves. One day care owner /

House Judiciary Committee releases on New Years Eve (in an obvious attempt to bury this info) the Jack Smith deposition transcript. I recommend doing a word search for "proof beyond a reasonable doubt." And explanation of disenfranchisement of urban areas. judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

The California DMV is in deep need of reform. Enraging stuff, uncovered by a team of reporters at @calmatters.org calmatters.org/investigatio...

A maternity ward doctor donated his own blood during surgery to keep a pregnant patient alive. One woman gained fewer than 10 pounds over her entire pregnancy. Another collapsed and had seizures during labor.

Over $500 million in funding that likely would have been allocated to sustainable transportation and clean energy programs will instead be used to backfill an existing tax credit under Washington Governor Bob Ferguson's budget package. Story: www.theurbanist.org/2025/12/29/f...

exactly as predicted (and designed)

Keir Starmer was the model for centrists and popularists who insisted that moving right on issues, especially immigration, is how you win at politics. Wonder if there will ever be any self-reflection here! Ah well nevertheless

A few months ago, ICE agents shot a TikToker. The govt then charged him, alleging he tried to ram agents Well guess what? Body-cam footage -- which the gov't delayed disclosing -- shows that's BS. The agent shot by mistake. And a judge just dismissed charges. www.latimes.com/california/s...

what else is there to say

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta. Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

hey sometimes you get a chance to actually have your voice heard. tell LA leaders we need a more walkable city! www.mobilityactionplanla.org/survey

and what a successful, fruitful endeavor he’s led

If the US invested in child care and had national policies like paid leave comparable to other industrialized countries, we would generate $775 billion of economic activity a year. The question should not be, “how can we afford to do this?” The question is, “how can we afford not to?” Let’s do this.

Trump: I am fine. You sound beautiful and cute. How old are you? Caller: I am eight

This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.

This means the VA won't cover abortions EVEN in the case of rape, incest, or serious threat to the health of the patient. The DOJ memo was authored by Josh Craddock, one of the chief legal advocates for fetal personhood, i.e. imposing a nationwide abortion ban through the courts.

Exclusive: Thousands of internal ICE messages reviewed by The Post show how the team has produced videos for social media of immigrant arrests to portray the White House’s push for mass deportation as critical to protecting the American way of life.

Channel your anger about what Bari Weiss did and throw money at investigative news outlets who do the hard work w/o the outside influence: Propublica, In These Times, Type Investigations, Wired, and whatever local independent outlets in your city. Need help finding one? Let me know.
