could well also be a malicious compliance thing where the person didn't get the specific order to stop it and said, "okay then."

curious if some media reporter manages to get that story.

it's not entirely clear at the moment whether Weiss and CBS execs fucked up and failed to block the airing in Canada, or whether someone deliberately said, "screw this" and sent the episode out as a protest. 1

From 60 Minutes’ April report on CECOT: “Among them: a makeup artist, a soccer player and a food delivery driver, being held in a place so harsh that El Salvador's justice minister once said the only way out is in a coffin.” www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/wha...

Yes, CECOT is a concentration camp in the guise of a prison. The Venezuelans were the first people to *ever* be released from CECOT since Bukele opened the prison in January 2023. Seriously. The first.

The video has been taken down from YouTube. You can still download it here: is.gd/paU8Ko

Just within the past hour, nearly a dozen YouTube accounts have posted the pulled 60 Minutes CECOT story. CBS and Google can keep trying to take them all down, but it's sort of pointless now.

living long enough to witness the dismantling of pg&e >>>

i would love for all of this to result in some serious consequences for pg&e but it never, ever does

PG&E on Sunday vs PG&E on Monday Do they use a different definition of “all” than the rest of us?

PG&E has now estimated that they’d restore power Saturday afternoon, Saturday evening, Saturday night, Sunday morning, Sunday afternoon, Monday afternoon, and now Monday night Really an extraordinary display of making a bad situation worse through terrible comms

Welp, we found the threat to women using the bathroom and it wasn’t trans people…

“Make no mistake: There will be no further reporting. There will only be further compromises to please the White House.”

NEW: Hours before it was set to air an episode about migrants shipped to El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison, “60 Minutes” pulled the episode, preemptively caving to Trump. Just like that, the beloved show we have known is dead, Marc Elias writes.

“Ppl are rising up to be good neighbors to one another. Charlotteans who could have carried on w/life as usual disrupted their schedules to stand guard on street corners … Ppl were reaching out to those unable to leave home, offering to run errands, drive children to the doctor & deliver groceries.“

“In targeted cities around the country, we are discovering that whistles can turn back armed men. We are learning there is a force even greater than men with guns, and that is neighbors remembering we belong to one another.” religionnews.com/2025/11/28/t...

In cities like Los Angeles and Chicago, community-led watches that trailed ICE and CBP caravans resulted in a formidable defense network that became a blueprint for other areas of the country: open.substack.com/pub/americas...

In Hungary, Orban created a new model for authoritarians to gain control of the media without overt censorship. He used regulatory and legal pressure to force media owners to sell their outlets to pro-regime allies. In the US, Trump is using the same approach to consolidate media control.

“In my particular case, I was sexually abused by the same Salvadoran authorities who guarded us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,” said makeup artist and asylum-seeker Andry Hernández Romero. “We believed we would never see our families again." www.advocate.com/news/andry-h...

From August: “In harrowing testimonies, some of the released men have described their horrific experiences as ‘torture’ and akin to a ‘horror movie.’ Cells ‘reeked of urine and sewage.’ Contact with loved ones or attorneys was forbidden as physical and emotional abuse was rampant.”

“In promotional materials released Friday, CBS News said Alfonsi had interviewed several men who had since been released and who described ‘the brutal and torturous conditions they endured.’ Those promotions were later revised or taken down.”

“‘Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices,’ Alfonsi wrote, according to the outlets. ‘It is factually correct.’”

Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi “said she learned Saturday that CBS News' new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, had ‘spiked our story,’ calling the decision ‘not an editorial decision’ but ‘a political one.’” people.com/60-minutes-s...

Good morning. Immigrants are #HereToStay.

So let them say your hair's too long Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong Then put your little hand in mine There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb

It basically impossible for me to accept that they honestly decided it “needed more reporting” literally 2 hours before it was set to air. The only thing that makes any sense is interference from ownership/management.

“Among the deported men was Maryland dad Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whose case stirred uproar after the Trump administration admitted that it wrongfully deported him as a result of an ‘administrative error.’ He was returned to the U.S. in June.”

“60 Minutes pushed back its CECOT episode after Trump told a North Carolina rally Friday that he ‘loves’ the new owners of CBS—his friends in the powerful Ellison family, who own CBS’s parent company, Paramount.” www.thedailybeast.com/60-minutes-s...

All of these links went to promotion of this story earlier today. All these links are dead now — that's how thoroughly they've scrubbed this.

“… last month Andry did not appear for a court hearing,” 60 Minutes reported then. Andry’s attorney, Lindsay Toczylowski: “Our client, who was in the middle of seeking asylum, just disappeared. One day he was there, and the next day we're supposed to have court, and he wasn't brought to court.”

“60 Minutes” has previously reported on CECOT, I’m trying to think of what’s happened since April 🤔 www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/wha...

No media org has ever set its credibility on fire so quickly.

I love seeing Toni Braxton’s “He Wasn't Man Enough” trending amongst the children, they will have no idea what I’m talking about but I remember buying that CD single and recording her appearance on Leno on VHS (make sure to watch for her microphone trick when she starts the famous dancing part) ✨

A year is actually 525,960 minutes, so yes I’m both gay AND pedantic, which isn’t actually that rare a combination if we’re being honest

Sing it with me: Cardi B told us!!!

Cher is “the only artist w/No. 1 hits in six [I think it’s actually 7] consecutive decades. She's a GRAMMY, Academy Award, Emmy, and Golden Globe winner … Cher isn't just a cultural icon. She's a living testament to reinvention, resilience, and staying true to yourself ...”

“Paul Simon, Cher and Chaka Khan are among the artists set to receive a Lifetime Achievement award at this year’s Grammys.” The eternal Whitney Houston will also be posthumously honored: www.nme.com/news/music/p...

Her husband and brother are registered sex offenders, and her husband did seven years for manslaughter, so this isn't shocking.

“‘We have been let down,’ Marina Lacerda, who has alleged she was 14 years old when Epstein began sexually abusing her, said to the outlet. ‘We waited for this day to bring these other men who have been protected to justice.’” time.com/7342034/epst...

“We are now examining all legal options in the face of this violation of federal law. The survivors of this nightmare deserve justice, the co-conspirators must be held accountable, and the American people deserve complete transparency from DOJ.”
