The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply. I want to make sure this is very clear.

Bit of good news - the Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction agreement, which protects marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction, comes into force on 17 January. It has 145 signatories (although the US has not signed up) economist.com/internationa...

Happy New Year? I’m not falling for that shit again

"The world's richest man, a well-documented drug addict who is a Nazi and a major support and adviser of the President of the United States of America, has created a website that produces CSAM on demand at scale while he demands ethnic cleansing worldwide"

"2025 was tough. It was painful. This was the year that America broke open. Now the seedy interior of what lies within so many structures of power in our country has been revealed. It is not pretty." -- @sifill.bsky.social

It doesn’t fix things, but it really does bring me comfort to know how miserable some of the worst people are. Donald Trump tweeting over 200 times on Christmas. Billionaires fighting with strangers online during the holidays. Everything about Elon Musk

by this time next year ai will be capable of opening presents with your family, freeing you up to finish those spreadsheets your boss has been waiting on

Share this far and wide. TW: abuse, descriptions of torture

putting every ICE agent & admin in a mussolini jungle gym is the moderate position.

Holding our communities close this holiday season ❤️

ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

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

Expect a "revolt" among 60 Minutes staff over Bari Weiss pulling the CECOT segment at the last minute, one network insider told me. Another CBS News reporter added that a Rubicon had been crossed with this decision, which 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi called "political" and not editorial.

A win! Thanks to everyone who spoke out. Following public backlash, Mike Lee backtracked on the National Parks proposal, which would have rescinded legislation protecting national parks and maintaining their boundaries as federal lands.

Share and tell CBS to air this! Sharyn Alfonsi, the veteran “60 Minutes” correspondent who reported a segment about migrants sent to the El Salvadoran torture prison CECOT, just sent a blistering letter to colleagues, sounding the alarm that Bari Weiss spiked the story for political reasons.

The oyster-shucking, baseball-playing, hands-working-with men have arrived on the 2026 political scene, and I have thoughts. daniellekurtzleben.substack.com/p/when-authe...

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

So disgusting and tasteless.

The 3 "Democrats" who voted for Marjorie Taylor Greene's bill criminalizing gender-affirming care for minors are Vicente Gonzalez, Henry Cuellar and Don Davis, and it isn't a question of getting them "under control"; they're in congress because the "Democratic leadership" recruited & backs them.

Finally found this explained in my native language.

79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5. He’s been taken by ICE in Florida. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/11/16/s...

Republicans snuck in a provision in the Senate bill that if they were investigated for January 6th and their cell phone data was analyzed, they could get a payday of $500,000. What the actual F'? www.huffpost.com/entry/govern...

The Truth is out there, and it's blasting the MAGA lies on their own platform. 😂

In which state is it legal for an older man to have sex with a 15 year old? Is there a blue state that this is acceptable? 15 is not "barely legal."

These motherfuckers had the audacity to try to eat at a taqueria they HIT BEFORE AND DETAINED AN EMPLOYEE AT

Journalists for NYT document tortures to dozens of Venezuelans Trump sent to El Salvador earlier this year. The piece is based on the testimonies of 40 people and on doctors who said their injuries are consistent and credible www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/w...

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style. Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

Writing something about ICE and sweet Jesus it is so incredibly dark what they are doing to these cities. We have all seen the videos, but when you wade into the details of their actions, it is extraordinarily bleak.

On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you — no matter where you are on your journey. I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Hey, you idiotic propagandists at the New York Post: God Bless America isn't the national anthem. It's a SHOW TUNE written by Irving Berlin.

Swear-in Rep. Adelita Grijalva! Release the Epstein files!

Nice recap

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

This Is Fascism

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

This 60-year old Supreme Court judgment may be the only thing that saves us from Trump www.alternet.org/supreme-cour... Trump’s lawsuit is governed by a 1964 Supreme Court ruling, New York Times v. Sullivan. One of the most celebrated of cases handed down by the court during the era known as the

Jesus, these people are lazy.

(interior, Disney HQ) "Lots of angry comments from folks upset about the Kimmel firing. Not sure how we recover." "That's just Americans. We've still got tourists, right? I mean, they ..." "Not anymore! Not since Trump!" "Oh, shit, that's right." "Oh shit." (softly, from the back): "Gawrsh."

There is no material difference between "we do not support the basic foundations of liberal democracy" and "we only support the basic foundations of liberal democracy if it poses literally no risk to future shareholder value"

Put @jimmykimmel.com back on the air, wackaflockas. Y'all are a disgrace to every single freedom fry you ate in 2003.

Join us in canceling Disney Plus. Let’s boycott ABC and Disney. If you’ve already canceled, drop a “done” in the comments.

“This is the Trump administration coming after people who speak out against him.”

In short, force them to try to rule by naked force because they *do not* have enough force and the very nakedness of it will mean they have less and less. The Civil Rights movement overcame far more with far less, if we had a fraction of their courage, we'll win.
