Off the charts incompetence...

Good prime @theguardian.com on European reactions to the US National Security Strategy, including comments from @maxbergmann.bsky.social, @mijrahman.bsky.social, @alanderminna.bsky.social and me:

🤳🏾 As Australia pulls the plug on social media for its teens, governments around the world are paying attention. If one country can take this step, how long before others follow? We cover the ban as it unfolds. Take a look ⬇️

Protestant churches’ growth in Latin America gets lots of attention, but another important shift is happening, too: people leaving organized religion altogether. religionnews.com/2025/12/08/y...

"Heated Rivalry" has taken the world by storm

Threatening to punish app stores if they don’t remove apps the government dislikes is unconstitutional.This time it’s ICEBlock, but tomorrow it could be a news app. Good for ICEBlock for standing up for everyone’s First Amendment rights.

The grifters just keep grifting

Netflix announced plans on Friday to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery’s studio and streaming business. On Monday, Paramount made a hostile bid for the studio. On "The Daily," our journalists what it all means for the future of TV and film.

Trump has pardoned or granted clemency to at least 10 people for drug-related crimes this year alone, and nearly 90 others during his first term.

Interesting important detail left out of the potential Paramount takeover bid. 🤔 #Pinks

“Our society is on a track to strip women of the ability to better themselves & to gain independence. It is about the repression of women,” says Esther Kim Varet. She is running for Congress in CA’s 40th district! Local elections matter! Take a listen!👇🏼 #localelectionsmatter #womensrights #pinks

TRUMP: THE DRUG TRAFFICKER’S FRIEND Why is he blowing up boats with low-level drug runners, and letting the kingpins go free? Despite his anti-drug rhetoric, Donald Trump has issued more pardons to drug dealers than any president in history. 1/2

Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

Nicole Wallace breaks down every insult and abusive remark Trump has made to female journalists in the last few weeks. “We’re either going to normalize this and usher in an era of unprecedented misogyny, or that press corps is going to act as one and say no more” No More.

These goons need to answer for this type of behavior

Fentanyl isn’t coming from Venezuelan fishing boats. Cocaine on the Caribbean route isn’t bound for the U.S. And one strike doesn’t “save 25,000 lives.” @jvl.bsky.social breaks down Trump’s narrative, and why the lie matters. lnk.thebulwark.com/4aCcPeI?utm_...

No surprise that a white nationalist man would lie

A leaked DOJ memo obtained by @kenklippenstein.bsky.social reveals an effort to build a list of supposedly "anti-American" groups and individuals, an escalation of the administration's crackdown on dissent. The list targets "not just the left" but "anyone who isn't a Trump supporter," he says.

#ProudBlue #Pinks #ResistanceUnited Good morning, friends. The people who truly matter are the ones who stay, support, and celebrate you just for being you. Notice! #Jaye’sMorningLight

They are all racists

Here’s what he’s missing: We have a president calling immigrants “garbage” and affordability a hoax, a DOD secretary cosplaying war games with no accountability, a VP saying it’s “reasonable” to not want neighbors who speak another language, and a Speaker who believes women are inferior. The GOP.

Yes

The least surprising thing you will read today.

It's not "free-market conservatism" when Trump uses government power to sabotage farmers' markets and then spends taxpayer money to bail them out, making them more dependent on the government. It's what dictators want: everyone dependent on their personal whims.

To be fair, the January 6th pardons applied to the January 6th insurrection. This guy did his crime on January 5th. Lock him up, toss the key into the bottom of an old filing cabinet. In 10 years, maybe parole him? Either way, we have laws on the books, and they need to be obeyed for once!

Shady GOP is trying to cheat on the Tennessee election 😡 we know that he didn’t win

BREAKING: A federal judge ordered the unsealing of grand jury transcripts from the abandoned Jeffrey Epstein investigation in Florida. You know. The one when Pam Bondi was Attorney General for Florida? The one that Alexander Acosta resigned as Labor Secretary over? That one. 🍿

Don’t provide any services to these Nazi traitors

Convicted Felon Donald Trump would rather see sick Americans stay sick and uncared for, rather than allow immigrants into the country to do the jobs Americans DON'T want to do. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsACriminal www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

BREAKING: Trump set to announce a $12 billion Socialist aid package for U.S. farmers after his idiotic tariffs forced many into financial hardship.

Dear Mr. Trump

Elise Stefanik may be tanking Mike Johnson’s speakership on her way out the door The speaker is facing rebellions on multiple fronts, not least from some members who are resigning or retiring ahead of the midterms.

RELEASE THE ENTIRE VIDEO The more we learn, the harder it is to deny it was a war crime. 📌 The Atlantic: Footage was so graphic it made viewers nauseated. “Worse than we were led to believe.” 📌 NBC News: Pete Hegseth ordered the military to kill all 11 people on the boat. 1/2
