I just can’t keep up anymore.🤪

Born deaf and blind, she's caught in Trump's anti-diversity crusade: A program for deafblind children helped 3-year-old Annie Garner, born with poor vision and no ears, learn to communicate. The Trump admin cut the program's funding over diversity goals. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/15/u...

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries. Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves. "Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks. "No, guess he should've complied," agent says. Yakima, Washington

Turning off #MSNow for the night. Stephanie Ruhle interviewing Peter Baker can only make me dumber.

[email protected] Woah, *nachos*.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

I'm predicting what's next

Interesting to consider that if you were to go and deface the Kennedy center by removing Trump’s name, you’d be arrested and charged with a crime, but your act would be no more unlawful than what they’re doing right now.

New: The 61-year-old retired Tennessee cop who spent 37 days in jail over an anti-Trump Facebook meme has filed a federal First Amendment lawsuit against the authorities who ordered his arrest. "In America, we do not jail people for political speech." Gift link: wapo.st/490I014

The media needs to stop writing headlines like “The CDC changes course on vaccines and autism” and “The CDC defends measles response”. NONE of this is coming from legitimate scientists at the CDC. ALL of it is coming from RFK Jr. Every such headline is causing further harm to public health.

On a personal note. I knew Rob Reiner & his lovely wife Michelle. One of my happiest memories was chatting with them in their kitchen, making sandwiches talking politics, and movies. They were kind people. Extraordinarily normal and very, very kind. I love & miss them already. Life is short.

Okay. What's the down side?

The EU just decided to indefinitely immobilise Russian assets‼️ This ensures that up to €210 billion in Russian funds stay on EU soil, unless Russia fully pays reparations to Ukraine for the damage it has caused. 🥳🎉 now we are talking 🥂🍾

No foreign tourists should come to the U.S. until we defeat the fascists. Boycott the 2026 World Cup games in the U.S. and the 2028 Olympics in L.A. We are politically diseased and should be quarantined.

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground. Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse. Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

On December 10 at the European Parliament, during a screening of documentary films about Ukrainian children, the interpreter could not hold back tears as 11‑year‑old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv spoke. The boy had survived the missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022,

What if they constantly want culture war because policy war is complicated and hard and culture war is stupid and easy

Tom Cotton isn't stupid. He know he's lying to defend cold-blooded murder. That's the kind of person he is.

This article opens with a 3-year-old forced to represent herself in court. We live in a fundamentally sick country.

“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.” The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida. It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID. Free link ⤵️ www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

[email protected] how long did it take you to get the pangram today?

I have, again, asked the Bluesky algorithm to show me fewer cats. 🤷‍♂️

I just heard a PSA for Union Mission Ministries. The voiceover performer said "good Samarih-un," skipping the T. @sarahkendzior.bsky.social does this in reading her own audiobook, and I guess it's authentic? #Midwest But presumably this PSA was performed by a professional voice actor?

I'm a Radio Scotland listener, and I live in Illinois. That's how far I have to go to find this kind of radio programming.

After World War II, 3 German U-boat crewmen were sentenced to death for machine-gunning Allied sailors who were clinging to life rafts after their boat was sunk. It's long been known in the military that this is a war crime. Pete Hegseth must be fired and prosecuted.

This is totally my personal opinion, but I suspect that this has something to do with the Trump Regime’s stance on Afghani nationals who served with Americans during the war. Trump wants to send these people back to Afghanistan where they face the most horrific sort of death from the Taliban.

Garry Kasparov at Halifax Security Forum: "For 4 years, Ukraine has been fighting for the whole of Europe. NATO was created to fight one war — not to go to Afghanistan, not to go to Syria — one war: to save free Europe from Russian aggression.

Ellis repeatedly accuses multiple CBP and ICE officials of lying (under oath) and says their "widespread misrepresentations call into question everything" they "say they are doing in their characterization of what is happening." She broadly discredits their testimony as objectively false.

I think the American public has the right to see the secret protocols of the Witkoff-Dmitriev pact. What business deals have been agreed?

NEW: A proposed regulation would have denied disability benefits to at least 830,000 older blue-collar workers. But after reporting from ProPublica and others, the Trump administration has killed the plan.

NEW: ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions. Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

All my #Sengled smart bulbs became stupid today. I asked #AmazonAlexa if my Sengled Bluetooth lightbulbs would ever work again. She didn't say Sengled needs to pony up some money, but I'll bet that's what happened.

Somewhere, "Gunther Eagleman" is furiously masturbating to the video of a white Texan sheriff shoving his way through two black #Gamecocks football players. #TAMU #WhiteNationalism

My friend @drannieandrews.com will be Lindsey Graham's opponent. She is a pediatric surgeon who has performed spinal surgeries on children, running against a grownup with no spine. Dr. Andrews is poised to perform a full Lindsey-ectomy on the United States Senate.

Trump spent hours and hours alone with a female child inside a sex trafficker's home who trafficked little girls for sex. Let it bake in your mind. It's a fact that was emailed by the sex trafficker "Epstein" 5 years before Trump became President the first time. 5 years, so this isn't politics folks

Nizhnekamsk oil refinery in russia. Beautiful 🤩🔥

Yep another planned #i3Broadband outage.

A Russian blogger shared that many Russians do not realize how many Russian soldiers are dying in the war against Ukraine. "For these two small cities [Pokrovsk and Bakhmut], Russia has already killed 80-100 thousand of its own soldiers. It wasn't Ukraine that killed them, it was Russia," he says.

There is zero excuse for police, in a free society, to wear a mask. Cowards

Ukraine is under russian missile attack right now ‼️ countrywide air raid alert, missiles in our airspace.

About 300 employees of a nuclear facility in Russian Ulyanovsk region have gone on a massive strike because they are not paid any salary. "At the moment, the salary delay has reached two months. Lunches have been canceled, there has been no food provided for a long time.

ICE is inflicting a lifetime of trauma on families. And it’s being carried out in the name of the United States of America.

the noun you are looking for is *request*. *ask* is a verb. I don't know where this stupid misuse of the language came from, but STOP DOING IT!

Why is a NY heavy Dem turnout a sign of where the whole party should head, but the bloodbath by VA Dems is not? Spanberger may win by double digits in a purple state. Why isn't that a point of discussion in strategizing the future of the party?
