Phang: If that happened in January, how in the actual hell is Blanche now telling the American people that they suddenly discovered a million more documents? GTFOH. As far back as January, the entirety of the Epstein files were transferred to Main Justice at DOJ…

Well well, look at that! Exactly what some of us SAID would happen if we allowed development!

The incredibly corrupt, lawless, & unconstitutional nature of the entire DOGE enterprise requires Elon Musk and lots of other people to spend the rest of their lives in jail.

UNRWA has food, shelter, medical and other essential supplies outside of #Gaza - enough to reach hundreds of thousands of people facing the harsh winter. Letting in this aid, that has been blocked by Israeli Authorities since March, would enable UNRWA's teams to multiply their ongoing operations.

abolish ice. theres no middle road on this and democrats will have to be held to it.

A warning from the lawyer representing the unjustly fired Oklahoma TA! Beware of GFM scams: her client is NOT crowdfunding at this time.

I always thought Plato was pretty pollyannaish on this point, but this is decent evidence for the view that a man of bad character will therefore be unhappy even with every external trapping of success and good fortune.

Every Democrat running for office needs to promise investigations and full prosecutions from top to bottom, remove its funding bloat then break up the agency and distribute its core remaining useful functions across other agencies.

On this, and multiple other fights against our enemies, people really need to take the part of themselves conditioned to handwring about "going too far," put a stake in it and bury it deep.

some good climate/energy news: * 96% of new US power capacity was carbon-free in 2024 (56 gigawatts!) * 2025 included the first month ever when 51% of power on the U.S. grid was carbon-free * The golbal trend is overwhelming: The world is now investing more $ in clean energy than fossil fuels

Missing Rapes: Over the span of nearly a decade, the State College Police Department underreported hundreds of rapes in the central Pennsylvania community, leading to highly inaccurate publicly reported crime statistics. www.spotlightpa.org/statecollege... important investigation by @spotlightpa.org

This matters because when you misstate that UTR organizers went on to organize J6, it diminishes credibility and undermines the work and sacrifice that community organizers undertook specifically to ensure that the UTR organizers could never do such a thing again.

A lot of conservative behavior makes sense when you realize their hierarchy is man over woman, adult over child, white over non-white, straight over gay, Christian above everyone else. Want to know why they don’t care if Trump’s involved with Epstein? Man above woman, above child.

Farm workers are hard at work in in Fresno CA harvesting pomegranates. They earn minimum wage and spend their days filling sacks that weigh up around 60 pounds when full. They then dump the sacks into the bins. A tractor hauls the full bins to cold storage. #WeFeedYou

I'm very happy to hear Ahmed al-Ahmed is doing well and hopefully will be discharged from hospital soon. He's such a light in this world, an example to all of us to stand together, as human beings, against the darkness. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

A repost reminder: It is traditional in Iceland to give the gift of a book to be opened on Christmas Eve. Books are unwrapped and then read together. It is called Jolabokaflod (Christmas book flood). 📖 🎄 🖼 Reading Girl, Gustav Adolph Hennig, 1828.

Your car is too big.

I was just looking up an Aussie Christmas gif and came across drunk relatives fighting over the toppled Christmas tree ...

Oh hey look, it's Sarah Ditum, a raging fucking transphobic bigot who has been a major player in the UK "gender critical" multi-year public campaign to manufacture consent for stripping trans people of their legal rights because she's a raging transphobic bigot!

Um, thread. 🔥

Um, holy fuck, they appear to be trying to rename immigration judges "deportation judges"---this ad just showed up in my Facebook feed

This is turned me into the fucking Joker, I'm heading for Montana right the fuck now to fight this motherfucker I AM IN FACT QUITE AWARE THAT THE MAJESTIC AMERICAN WEST NEEDS MAINTENANCE YOU MOTHERFUCKERS THAT SHIT COSTS A LOT OF MONEY AND IT'S WORTH IT AND --YOU-- ASSHOLES KEEP VOTING AGAINST IT

This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.

I love it!

This is outright Nazi stuff, and Democrats in Congress aren’t doing enough to try and stop it.

While it is a sad reality that we have to fight for a living wage for working Americans, what we really should be talking about is how we create a thriving wage for all Americans. A prosperous economy should mean that more people get to live a full and meaningful life, not just barely surviving.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

That’s not what I’d call a deep soak, that’s a mass-erosion event. Landslides, mudslides, rockslides, if you live in the canyons, GET OUT!

For the past year, I've been working on an investigation into Pennsylvania's oil and gas waste--a toxic and often radioactive byproduct of the state's fracking industry. How much of it is produced every year? Where does it end up? What's in it? And what happens when regulators lose track of it?

The US State Department is now going to be deporting people and/or revoking visas over Benz, Taibbi, and Shellenberger’s “censorship industrial complex” hoax. Let that sink in. This is what the Twitter Files pretext was actually about. Water boys for authoritarians. www.state.gov/releases/off...

Also, Justice Kavanaugh sounds like he really, really wants a second try at his decision authorizing Kavanaugh Stops. He's now insisting that immigration enforcement should not be like EXACTLY WHAT IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT IS LIKE UNDER TRUMP'S THUGGERY.

NEW: By a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court blocks Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Chicago to assist immigration agents. A majority holds that he likely lacks authority to do so. Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

It is. You can actually search visible text on the redacted documents and the completely UNredacted document appears in the results 😭

i feel like this from roosevelt's 1942 state of the union address still works as a mantra today for our fight

Wait until you hear that LLMs can only train on digitized/datafied info. Most of the FACTS scholars use are in archives/libraries. Less than 1% of archival colletions worldwide have been digitized. Also: lots of facts are not even in archives, but in the attics.
