Among the newly released files, investigators probing Steve Bannon's role in the "We Build the Wall" scheme found a photo of Trump and Ghislaine Maxwell on Bannon's phone in June 2021. www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

Colorado immigration activist Jeanette Vizguerra nine months after she was taken into custody ICE "I am thankful that they never gave up, remaining committed even when the outcome seemed dark […] This fight is about the constitutional rights we all share, human rights and dignity for all people,"

Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here. www.justice.gov/multimedia/C...

here's the 60 minutes cecot video part 1 of 5 - recorded/uploaded by and all credit to @jasonparis.bsky.social I just reduced background noise, chopped the 14 minutes into 3 minute segments each compressed under 100 mb for bsky's limits, cropped and rotated a few degrees for easier viewing on here

Good.

"Imam Fouad’s death is not an isolated tragedy, it is the predictable outcome of a violent detention system that continues to cage people for profit and punishment."

BREAKING: Judge James Boasberg rules for those deported under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15 — certifying a class, finding the U.S. maintained constructive custody over them at CECOT, finding they were not given due process, and ordering return or that such process be given by Jan. 5, 2026.

This has been made available, so for purposes of commenting on Bari Weiss's decision to spike the story, here's a live-post of that segment. It begins with a "you may recall" summary of the deportation to el Salvador. Describes the admin's claim that it could deport the men without due process

As I wait for my HRSN assistance I am still going to be short for my payment plan at the end of December and for my January rent. I have just over a week to try to get the rest of this GoFundMe met. Please help share I cannot lose my housing for my child 🙏🏻😞 www.gofundme.com/f/Portland-H...

NEW: Statement from some Epstein survivors: "It is alarming that the United States Department of Justice, the very agency tasked with upholding the law, has violated the law, both by withholding massive quantities of documents, and by failing to redact survivor identities.."

CBS didn't run the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, but over here at @propublica.org we've been working on the story since March, including finding out who each and every man sent to that maximum security prison was. You can see our reporting here: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

🏴335!

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

“These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless.”

20 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- American Academy of Pediatrics which represents 67k pediatricians pushes back hard on against new Trump anti-care proposal: "misconstrues the current medical consensus...fails to reflect the realities of pediatric care...These rules help no one..."

Frogs against the Trump vandalism of the Kennedy Center. #kennedycenter

“60 Minutes” abruptly dropped a segment about Trump deportees sent to a megaprison in El Salvador Sunday — two hours before it was set to air

Two Palestine Action-linked hunger strikers taken to hospital

1/ We have an update to share on this past reporting: We reported in late October that Gael Gomez and his family were all but certain to leave D.C. due to the termination of Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelan migrants. But so far Gael is still here — trying to find a way to stay. 🧵

🏴334! I can figure it out myself if needed, but does anyone know the exact names of the missing 16 files? I know one is EFTA00000468.pdf. Any reference plus any other missing files would be a big help too, thanks! apnews.com/article/rele...

We leaflet at the Pentagon weekly. Taking a break for the holidays. DM me to get connected to join us in January. @thirdactsocal.bsky.social

I heard a bird sing In the dark of December A beautiful thing A sweet to remember "We are closer to Spring than we were in September." I heard a bird sing In the dark of December

Today I joined patriots at the Kennedy Center to make clear that Trump’s desecration of the Center will not stand. It’s not a matter of whether, but of when, his name will come down. We will not allow him to despoil what belongs to the American people.

One of my favorite photos I took this year doing a 20 second exposure so I could capture the field and the barn along with the milky way. Hope everyone has a fantastic holiday #BlueSkyArtShow #OpenHouse #BlueSkyPhotographer #BlueSkyPhotography #NightShots

in 2026, if i wanted to put together a little collection of trans poetry from texas, would anyone be interested in contributing

Another festive day at today’s #TeslaTakedown, holiday edition thanks to our AMAZING craftivists @bikesloveanddonuts.bsky.social and @phrenologyhead.bsky.social Also some weird dude with a very pointy Santifa hat-helmet.

Minneapolis steps out and speaks up for: SOMALI NEIGHBORS Looking at his hood, zipped up collar, and the thickness of his gloves, it was a bitter cold day. Wind chill temperature is 2ºF/-16ºC. (Plus 22 mph wind gusts.) If this were NYC, no one would make it! :) 📸: Kyeland Jackson/@startribune.com

This is a very reasonable goal! I donated. Can you help them make it happen too?

ICE grabbed Julio Cesar Pena from his front yard just days after being discharged from hospital after a heart attack. He’s also battling end stage kidney disease. He says he fears he will die in ICE custody. His son is active duty military & just wants his father released.

Nenko Gantchev should still be alive—home with his family. After 30 years contributing to Chicagoland as a small business owner and taxpayer, ICE detained him, ignored his medical needs, and he died in custody. This system is cruel, reckless, and must be held accountable.

Abolish ICE.

Tapper: This is one of the documents the DOJ released. It’s 100 pages. It’s all black. That’s the transparency we’re getting.

This should be illegal.

abolish ice

I have just demanded a full refund for remaining tickets at the Kennedy Center. I did not buy anything at the "Trump Kennedy" Center. I encourage you to do the same #refundKennedy

NEW: After months of trying, Democrats in Congress were finally allowed into the holding cells at 26 Federal Plaza. Rep. Dan Goldman said he was told by ICE officials that 60% of those detained in NY did not have criminal records. With @oliviabensimon.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/n...

🚨 NEWS: Ranking Members @raskin.house.gov and @robertgarcia.house.gov released a joint statement after Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed that the Department of Justice will not be releasing the full Epstein files today.

“They’re denying that any of her birth certificates, which are from Laurel, Maryland, her records of immunization, medical records — they’re denying the authenticity of them. It is something I’ve never encountered.” www.huffpost.com/entry/us-cit...

I’ve had too many of these moments lately, where I see a video like this, and my inner voice is screaming at the people, my fellow Americans who signed up for these jobs and are ‘just following orders’: “WHO are you?! Why is this so easy for you? WHY are you doing this?!” Truly disturbed by this.

The John F. Kennedy National Center for the Performing Arts as it appeared Thursday night. The board has “voted” to rename it after Trump.

I am committed to vigorously defending Minnesota’s medical providers who do incredible work to treat and care for all Minnesotans, including our trans neighbors. I have already taken the Trump Admin to court to stop them from scapegoating the trans community. I will not hesitate to do so again.

Today, AG Letitia James of New York responded to the Trump administration's new rule attempting to ban trans youth care in hospitals nationwide. "I will not let the administration come for you." Read the latest from our writer, S. Baum here. www.erininthemorning.com/p/i-will-not...
