I did not understand this: one of the five Europeans the US has barred from traveling to the United States...is a permanent resident who lives with his family in the US. Now he is worried about being arrested and deported for the crime of monitoring online hate. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/25/u...

I must have been confused about what bringing Christmas back meant. I spent the day giving gifts — to the nephews, mainly — and enjoying the company of my family. Sorry I got it so wrong.

This is Kristina Solovyova. Russian terrorists killed her in Zhytomyr striking residential buildings with drones on December 23. She was only 4🕯

In thinking about what you can do this year, keep this in mind: showing up at protests has real impact - - www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We have a WH occupant who’s not a President of the United States. We have a Justice Dept & an AG not committed to justice. We have a Health & Human Services Secy dedicated to undermining health & dismantling services. These are times that demand us to stay clear about what we value & who we love.

If you’re surprised by any revelations in Epstein files re: Trump that is because the media failed you in an epic way in 2016. One did not need to look hard to find decades of depravity concerning his behavior but they chose to look the other way because HRC had some emails.

“While a distorted economy leads us to treat human beings as mere merchandise, God becomes like us, revealing the infinite dignity of every person.“ -- Pope Leo www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

Peter Slezak speaks for so many of us with parents who survived the Holocaust. Have a listen. Joyeux Noël

If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Accurate about a Pathological Liar and Convicted Felon who Incited an Insurrection, tried to Steal a Fair Election and is Covering up Sex Crimes against Children, shouldn't his Disgraceful Presidency be terminated? I say, YES!

Merry Christmas, First Amendment.

This is a lot of words to say that DOJ is in violation of the statutory deadline and will take even longer to produce records that were due last week.

A million pages is conservatively 400 bankers boxes.

OMG. One million more documents? They announce this on Christmas Eve, thinking we will miss it? Not a chance! www.nytimes.com/2025/12/24/u...

"Not only did it seem that city leaders had failed to recognize the magnitude of the crisis until one of their own had died, they had also made those bearing the brunt of the pandemic feel responsible for their own demise."

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.

I’m a new fan… One of the most improbable stories in classical music history: not because they are Black, but because they are seven siblings in one family of virtuosos. The parents of the award winning Kanneh-Masons deserve an award too.

Even people living above 400% of the poverty line will be affected—particularly older enrollees and those living in higher-premium locations—as they will lose their credits entirely. Around half of those who would lose eligibility are between the ages of 50 and 64. trib.al/qfg8R8v

My great Grandma was born in Lviv (Lemberg), 🇺🇦. My grandma jumped from a train to escape Nazis. My mom hid w/ Catholic nuns. I'm pained by the actions of Stephen Miller, a fellow Jew. Don't just pray: Work for peace on earth. Do the work: Tikkun Olam (repairing the world) Paix, Salam, Shalom 🕊️

How embarrassing it is to watch our once-esteemed Department of Justice behave like this.

This politics - fascism with the leader as a meme - turned out to be FAR better suited for the insular bubble of right-wing media than traditional conservativism of every stripe. In fact, as far as we can tell, it’s the apex predator of open-ended, choose-your-own-reality modern media.

One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen, was filled with cars until a 2 year pedestrianization pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business,” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

Trump in 2024: I "was never on Epstein’s Plane". Trump DOJ 5 years ago: "Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware)". Stop breaking the the law. Release ALL the Files.

What we’re being told is that a guy who is an adjudicated rapist, who was credibly accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, who paid hush money to a porn star, who cheated on all his wives, who is mentioned hundreds of times in the Epstein files, couldn’t possibly be a sexual predator.

Canada is one of the eight countries that today expressed its solidarity with the people of Greenland and Denmark in the face of threats to their territorial integrity from Trump and his newly appointed Reichsstatthalter for Greenland, Jeff Landry.

"At scale, migrants and their descendants recreate the conditions, and terrors, of their broken homelands.” --Stephen Miller My grandma jumped from a train to escape Nazis. My mom hid w/ Catholic nuns. I DIDN'T RECREATE MY GRANDPA's CONDITIONS IN AUSCHWITZ! Miller DID. Miller is a Shanda.

“Epstein..threatened harm to victims and helped release damaging stories about them to damage their credibility.... Epstein also instructed one or more Epstein Enterprise participant-witnesses to destroy evidence relevant to ongoing court proceedings.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark – a sovereign nation. Venezuela is a sovereign nation. Panama is a sovereign nation. Canada is a sovereign nation. Mexico is a sovereign nation. Ukraine is a sovereign nation.

Old Dersh is big mad about all these so-called "survivors" going around telling terrible stories that no one should believe. He seems to think they're the perpetrators rather than victims, and they only want one-sided transparency. Very unfair to people like him. www.rawstory.com/alan-dershow...

I've often lamented that working-class people, such as custodians, cleaners & labourers, don't make enough money - you know, a living wage. Police wages? If anything, I've complained they're too high. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/22/m...

“I cannot understand why they convened this focus group of Gen Z Republicans and published the results. Because they are…not flattering to Trump supporters. Whatever you might have thought was bubbling around in this cohort, the reality is worse.” — John V Last www.thebulwark.com/p/behold-the...

Why hasn’t Steve Bannon released all of his Jeffrey Epstein interview footage? He reportedly recorded at least 15 hours with Epstein. He could put it on YouTube and make a significant amount of money. What’s the holdup? Hmmmmmm.

I hope it's clear to everyone by now that Trump's play over and over again is to yell "National Security!" and pretend as though that gives him the right to act like a dictator

With CECOT being in the news, I want to repost this article my wife wrote about our adopted kids' birth father. He finished a prison sentence and was deported to El Salvador and landed in CECOT. If anyone can help with this, please contact me. We're feeling pretty helpless.

Lawrence O’Donnell’s MSNOW show has 2 Epstein survivors blasting DOJ for failing to properly redact names, leaving some survivors‘ identities newly revealed. They suspect DOJ’s top priority is to protect other people — not the survivors. “We’re being re-traumatized by our government.”

Brian Stelter on how the 60 Minutes CECOT segment leaked: CBS shipped it off to one of its affiliates, a Canadian network called Global TV. Global TV streamed the report on its app today, which caught the attention of some Canadian viewers. We plan on doing the Epstein files next 😅😂🤣
