One of the most important pieces I've read this year. A lot of journalists tried to capture what it was like on the ground, as Chicagoans resisted an onslaught of federal agents attacking our neighbors, and @melissagiragrant.com pulled it off.

I mean the bells are fine, but I want to do the hammer drop at the end of Mahler's 6th.

On the day JFK’s granddaughter passed away at 35, Senile Satan spent half the day trolling the family and reposting garbage from foreign Twitter accounts. Make hell hotter.

Goodbye to dreadful 2025, in which my partner lost her mum and then sister 2 months later. I will lose my own mum to cancer in a few months, so my 2026 is off to a crap start. But I wish everyone on this platform all the best that a new year can muster. #SciArt called New Horizons Pls repost

Like the ending of some “Star Trek” episode I wish aliens from an orange planet would arrive, take him back and apologize to everyone.

Wanna see real-life miracles? Fund scientific research. A team of US scientists just cured Alzheimer’s in mice — and there is now hope that the disease can be reversed in humans. futurism.com/health-medic...

If you listen to anything today, listen to this man talk. He speaks truth to power! I can’t wait till the day he and his family are NO LONGER IN POWER! And yes, that day WILL come! - - - - K A R M A - - - -

And they're all just giddily letting it happen... now hm the psychotic asshole wants to remove JFK's name from The Kennedy Center and just leave it The Trump Center. They'll let him have that too.

Someone in his administration told him he ended 8 wars. And that GDP is awesome. And that he's creating jobs. And that his poll numbers are great. Trump doesn't have a clue what's going on, he only knows what he's told.

Last week, SCOTUS stood up for its right to engage in judicial review of executive branch decisions. This week it's Congress' turn & at least a few representatives seem inclined to insist that when they pass a law, they mean business. Learn about inherent contempt: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

When are we going to start having the conversation that Trump was Epstein’s partner in all of this shit?

Very good idea

Honestly Putin would be better off to just retreat from Ukraine, lock the borders, shut down international contact and go full George Orwell and have his press pretend they are winning the war forever.

A few years ago the internet told me the all lady cast reboot of Ghostbusters was terrible. The internet lied to me. This movie is perfect! A good blend of nostalgia (easter eggs & cameos) and comedy. It doesnt take itself too seriously and the actors did a good job. I feel good after watching!

If Marjorie Taylor Greene *really* cared about the Epstein victims, she would read the names of the perpetrators on the House floor (where she would have immunity) before she leaves office.

As one year comes to a close and a new one is on the horizon, I’m reflecting on the opportunity we have in front of us for 2026 to be a year of positive and dramatic change for the country - if we stay focused. I’m looking forward to doing my part, and I know you are too.

I just can’t keep up anymore.🤪

"Please be kind enough to explain when and where and under what authority you gained access to this material.” Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse & Sen. Dick Durbin write letter to White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, asking how she's "read the Epstein files"

It is possible to easily believe this This is sufficient reason for him to be removed from power Even worse it is possible to believe he has done worse And worry he may yet do even worse TERRIFYING

I’m facilitating the rehoming of two sweet cats who belonged to a friend who recently passed unexpectedly. They deserve a stable place to land. 2-3 year old bonded pair, one male one female. Please send me a DM if you have the interest and ability to care for these sweet voids. Located in Oakland.

One of the few silver linings that have come from this harsh year of deportations and ICE raids is that it has clarified which people and institutions will use their voices to push back and which will choose accommodation.

Government data show there are now a million more people who are unemployed than there were in Jan of this year after Trump's inauguration.

Every time he goes to one of his resorts Trump is making money off the taxpayers. Charging top dollar to Secret Service for meals, golf carts , etc. When he entertains foreign dignitaries, those charges to taxpayers balloon. Legislation is needed!

Chelsea Clinton delivered a #CupOfJoe full of determination to protect reproductive health care access and to secure it well into the future. ♀

BREAKING: The Department of Justice failed to redact the identity of a survivor of Epstein's crimes in a released document, per an exclusive comment to MeidasTouch.

Stacy Williams’ account was reported in Australia during the 2024 presidential campaign. Epstein introduced her to Trump as part of a “twisted game.” She froze. The men smiled and kept talking. Why did Americans never see this coverage? Who decided silence was acceptable? Always support survivors.

The first time I searched Trump, there were over 900 records found. I also confirmed there are now 332.

The ACA saved my life. ♥️ Just taking a moment to remember how it all went down thanks to Barack, Joe and the Democrats. As millions of Americans are about to lose their healthcare thanks to Republicans, don't forget these same politicians will cont to get their primo government funded insurance.

He’s not hiding his medical records because he’s healthy, and he’s not hiding the Epstein files because he’s innocent. This isn’t complicated.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America: 1. Break up corporate monopolies 2. Continue building union power 3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Why is Trump's name redacted? He is not the victim. [If you read the section below, you may vomit.] The DOJ is blocking his name for his vanity.
