The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas. It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

This is a textbook example of how the anti/trans hate machine works. Create pretext to “justify” the hate, then attack using a far-right, media-enabled dogpile. No shit trans women are, generally speaking, broke: we’re being purged from (visible) society as I’m typing these words out.

Bari’s complaint was “there’s nothing new here” and while that’s untrue it’s also irrelevant “we intentionally sent people to be tortured in a hellhole and bragged about it and The Hague is too good for everyone involved” is a story that simply cannot be told enough

It's truly remarkable how there will be news organizations and journalists who correctly identify that RFK is a menace and that HHS can't e trusted when he pushes stuff about vaccines or Tylenol causing autism... but cover the anti-trans stuff like "Well, HHS says so, and we should trust HHS!"

CBS News may not want you to see its CECOT reporting, but I'm happy to share this powerful video that our team produced this year.

In the last several months, @ddosecrets.com has been powering through archives of Epstein emails and files and releasing them for free to the public. No DoJ meddling, no institutional power making decisions about what to release. They sure could use your help tho... DONATE donorbox.org/ddosecrets

“You have arrived in hell.” That’s what the CECOT director allegedly told immigrants. Human Rights Watch said “Detainees were subjected to constant beatings and other forms of ill-treatment, including some cases of sexual violence” This is what CBS doesn’t want you to see.

Also screw the BBC for its naked agenda. It refused to carry a hugely expensive first ever YouGov survey we commissioned showing how awful trans lives in the UK have become because it was "not strong enough" but there's no piece of anti-trans hatred too petty for it to platform.

“You have been asleep since November,” said Frog. “Well then,” said Toad, “a little more sleep will not hurt me.”

i don’t think i’ll ever get over how we’re sending people to torture prison camps in el salvador STILL and those in charge of CBS want us to pretend it’s an old story that’s been resolved. people are still being tortured!

After weeks of backbreaking work to make her apartment habitable for her children, Sama'a and her husband lost everything to Tropical Storm Byron. They rely on us for survival. Please give what you can. tinyurl.com/SamaasFamily

it's a mark of how fucked up the world is that this doesn't even phase me. at least he's paying the people he tortured. could be worse. off to read about conditions in our government's latest concentration camp.

i always forget to actually flog the stuff i make instead of just posting it, but you should read my comic. it's about the human condition but some of the human conditions are animals. the kind of thing where the character interactions are the plot. and i like to think the art is good halo-head.com

Everyone in the federal government and the media only has one job and it's frantically running around and trying to hide evidence of the president's many crimes. They are so tired and all they want is for him to at least pause the crimes for a minute but he keeps on doing new ones

the vision of Jewish people as eternal victims and as safe nowhere means Israel must never make peace, which in turn justifies the vision of Jewish people as eternal victims, and on and on.

it's one of the bleak ironies of jewish history that Israel was founded and sustained on the promise of security and safety, and yet it's entire history and present has been defined by a fear which has become a justification for ongoing and neverending atrocity. 1

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

That’s what these ‘debates’ are really about: framing old fashioned oppression as some kind of high-brow concern for women’s happiness. You know what makes us happy? Bank accounts. Voting rights. The ability to leave a bad marriage and not have a miscarriage kill us.

“The Supreme Court decided not to have a Christmas party for 12 straight years because the justices couldn’t agree on whether to invite the Court’s Black employees” is about as tidy an encapsulation of the Supreme Court’s whole deal as I can think of

Mena needs treatment & surgery to walk again; please help her survive Israel's genocide along with her family:

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

And the air is noticeably cleaner! Literally we can all breathe better thanks to the law!

democrats are very capable of fighting to defend their core principals, like 'insider trading'

there's a similar dynamic with greenwald. the contrarian anti establishment space just leans very right, and people making money there end up leaning more and more right to capture audience share.

I think what we're seeing here is that Matt is speaking largely to and for an audience of the right. His claim to be a democrat is useful branding because his right audience likes to be able to say, "even that democrat matt yglesias says..."

1. First, let's talk about the elephant in the room that he doesn't mention explicitly but haunts the whole piece: climate change is real, we've overshot the goal and the only way to turn the corner is to leave fossil fuel in the ground. To ignore that is to talk about rocketry and ignore gravity.

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...

67 Senators could remove RFK Jr. today but there aren’t 67 Senators who care about Americans’ lives, health, or wellbeing. Babies will die. Our leaders hate us.

This, too, is outrageous -- firing an immigration judge because he granted asylum to six people. Trump's folks have made clear they want "deportation judges." Just rejecting any semblance of due process. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

responding to “what do you think of Adolph Hitler?” with “I’m in favor of a strong executive” is advanced conservatism. these kids have perfected the craft.

CBS is planning a series of ideologically diverse, non-partisan town halls treating questions like "How has feminism failed women?", "Why are liberals so smug?", and "What makes poor people so lazy?"

The US TikTok sale has been signed. The company will be controlled by a joint venture including Oracle, Silver Lake, Andreessen Horowitz, Abu Dhabi-based MGX. Adding a UAE company really makes it clear that this was never about national security concerns. www.axios.com/2025/12/18/t...

Of all the sins of AI, this is an unexpected and deeply annoying one

Good thing there are no conditions that make it so a person can only walk for a very short period of time, otherwise this writer and massive publication would look like horrendous monsters.

"My daughter opposes genocide and also sexual abuse. Where did I go wrong?"

There is no overstating how bad repealing Section 230 would be for the Internet. If you are a US citizen and have ever enjoyed one of our games, or any other piece of queer or "controversial" media, then please consider contacting your representatives and encouraging them to not support this.

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier. Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/conc...

I don't know who needs to hear this but withholding medicine from groups of people out of animus for their class is a UN textbook definition of genocide.
