@laurarbelin.bsky.social is good. This is helpful and disturbing context.

At this point, I hope we learn that Trump really has been blackmailing A.G. Sulzberger the XXVI all this time, because if that failgreatgrandson has been kissing his ass like this on his own free will it’s going to be depressing as hell.

Hello to all my new followers! I am Harrison, a Narrative Designer & Writer who has worked on a bunch of things across my career including The Walking Dead, Tales from the Borderlands, Diablo IV and the Rime update for Myst (2020). I'm currently looking for work so DM me if you'd like to chat!

Hi hello IL-9 resident here, a lot of the donations were dropped off by supporters, she also has discussed compliance on this extensively, Daniel Biss her main opponent is doing something similar and they are tied for the lead right now.

Y’all might not appreciate it, but it took him 87 moves and 14 hours to get here

And if they do collapse the economy because we arrest them for being child rapists, the narrative to sell to the public is easy: our economy has been deliberately sabotaged by child rapists, they will pay for this and we will build a new economy that doesn't run on child rape.

🧵 Our mutual aid hub has been a HUGE draw for our immense volunteer base, many of whom have never wanted to be involved politics before now. This model isn’t just about the immediate impacts: It’s about showing our values, building a community, and reaching voters — without selling our soul!

Candidate fundraising call time is one of the most demoralizing, radicalizing experiences in politics. @cameronkasky.bsky.social — who is running for the seat Jerry Nadler is retiring from — shows what it’s like to raise money as a candidate, in an effort to push more people to donate online.

joining the "cybertruck owners only" group on fb is one of the best decisions i've ever made. every so often when i'm scrolling through fb getting pissed off, i get to see a little treat like this

Immigration agents shot at a moving vehicle on Wednesday, striking one person and injuring another. DHS, which has a track record for lying,¹ ² ³ ⁴ ⁵ ⁶ claimed the victims were undocumented. Officials also claimed the victims tried to run the agents over, another unlikely claim.³ ⁴ ⁵ ⁶

This is why you don’t make it a requirement to vote, you make it a reward for being informed. If you do well on the test, you get some tax credits (theoretically a more informed citizenry is going to save the government money in the long run by making better decisions, so it pays for itself)

Meanwhile, on X: "I can't ride the subway! It's too dangerous!"

[somberly] You cannot serve both god and money [upbeat music hits] Until now. Introducing god as a service

Bluesky hive mind! The kid just told me that they're newly interested in "weird tabletop board games" and are looking for recommendations. Got any weird wonders you'd care to share?

Pope Leo decried conditions for Palestinians in Gaza in his Christmas sermon, in an unusually direct appeal during what is normally a solemn, spiritual service on the day Christians across the globe celebrate the birth of Jesus reut.rs/4sbgSVO

Great Holiday Message from Talarico: “If you are not loving your neighbor, then Keep Jesus’ Name Out of Your Mouth” youtube.com/shorts/_JAgG...

On Wednesday, a federal judge in Pittsburgh blocked parts of the Justice Department’s invasive subpoena seeking personally identifiable information about those minor transgender patients at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center who are or have received gender-affirming medical care.

Michael Connelly: You know, it’s like uncharted territory, and so I’ve been going to the writing room. Julia Bridget Hayes: And that is where the adventure began! Connelly: Yeah. You can hope for stuff. www.splicetoday.com/pop-culture/...

In NYC there are plenty of people who don't celebrate, and people who do, who dont have anywhere to go. So as is our tradition, Anyone Comics in BK and Everyone Comics at Queensboro Plaza will be there to entertain from 12-5pm and handing out free books for those who feel left out!

Christmas Eve.

(🦋) BLUESKY NEWS: The South African Sociopath—everyone knows who I mean—has apparently just made a series of changes to Twitter that launched a new exodus. The per-second growth rate here at BlueSky is now *more than triple* what it was yesterday. So welcome, Twitter refugees! This is *way* better.

And to be clear: the action one does if one is feeling guilty tonight or tomorrow is give cash to organizations feeding the hungry and sheltering the houseless. It is not to show up at a shelter and ask to serve food. You gotta get vetted to volunteer, so you start with cash, put a reminder —

Authorities have reported the death of a Nicaraguan immigrant in ICE custody in a hospital in Natchez, Mississippi, the seventh reported death of an immigrant in ICE custody this month. buff.ly/NntUdNz

Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.

While I was in prison, I was the food procurement clerk. It was my job to work with the first cook to design the daily food menu and then make sure the men were fed on a budget of $2.60 per person per day. How I helped make the best Christmas prison meal, a thread.

I just pray that NORAD is guiding Santa away from Venezuela and the Caribbean Sea

I want to ask the flipside question: what will it take for wealthy progressives to fund the infrastructure and entities needed to identify, support, and sustain emerging voices on *our* side of the aisle?

THIS ISN’T CALL OF DUTY WE PROCURE MILITARY PLATFORMS BASED ON THEIR UTILITY IT DOESN’T FUCKING MATTER WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE

Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair." One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

If anybody still cares about laws and morality: this is a death threat by Trump against Stephen Colbert. If YOU posted this the FBI would visit you.

It’s worth noting that PA joined this lawsuit through an action by Governor Shapiro. The PA AG, Dave Sunday, a Trump supporting Republican, is quite comfortable with Pennsylvanians being denied healthcare based on their gender identity.

Pennsylvania joined 18 states and the District of Columbia Tuesday in a lawsuit challenging a Health and Human Services declaration last week that health care facilities offering gender-affirming care to minors would be barred from Medicare and Medicaid. From @marylandmatters.org.web.brid.gy

9 days after Inauguration Day, 404 Media wrote about how this declassified World War II-era government guide to sabotaging fascism became one of the most popular open source books on the internet. One of our top stories this year: www.404media.co/declassified...

concentration camps.

“Companies welcomed us into intimate spaces without hesitation so everyone who wanted protection could receive it. At each session, I heard versions of the same small truths: “My mom told me to make sure I get the shot.” “Not sure I would’ve had time if you all hadn’t come here.”

Delete that shit right now friends.

Yeah, coming from anyone else, this would just be an amateurish and reflexive “let’s make sure we quote the other side.” But we also know Weiss’s history of not bothering to reach out for comment when she absolutely should have.

A disturbing update to this story: Despite the fact that he was about to be released from a US prison after completing a sentence here, when Kelvin Membreño was deported to El Salvador he was sent to CECOT prison and remains there. The family has not heard from him since.

Pope Leo vs. Franklin Graham

Abolish ICE.

Facebook, Instagram, X are simply banned in Russia. No US outrage about free speech there—yet the EU is the target. That contrast says a lot.
