New, from me: The NYT reporter who specializes in profiles of beleaguered right-wingers on campus went to New College...and found out that things were going ok! So let me explain some pretty massive errors of omission: 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-nyt-re...

Virginia is subsidizing a multi-trillion dollar industry with a $1.6B tax break at a time when we’re trying to determine how we’re going to backfill the federal cuts to SNAP and Medicaid. Once again, I’ll be introducing a budget amendment to end this exemption. www.bizjournals.com/washington/n...

NATO fighter jets were scrambled after Putin ordered Tu-95MS strategic bombers on a Christmas sortie toward northern Britain, according to the Mirror. The aircraft flew over the Norwegian Sea, prompting an air policing response amid concerns over a deliberate show of force near UK airspace.

Extremely funny to call the pope “holier-than-thou”

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

I just uploaded @jasonparis.bsky.social 's recording of the segment CBS News pulled from "60 Minutes" to YouTube:

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas. It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

@kaine.senate.gov , again w h a t i s w r o n g w i t h y o u ?

@kaine.senate.gov, what is wrong with you?

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

This is fucking insane.

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines. It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States. And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

It’s time to accept that the US supreme court is illegitimate and must be replaced | Ryan Doerfler and Samuel Moyn

“Congress is literally failing the American people” indeed

Become ungovernable

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American. Two options: 1) ICE deliberately targeted him. 2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens. Hard to say which option is scarier.

This song always make my Christmas playlist. This is an especially brilliant rendition of it though. Such a lovely little piece of art.

“Have you brought the list?” “I have, O Great One.” “Has it been checked twice?” “Of course, sir” “Excellent.” “Do you require anything further?” “Bring me an elf, I’m famished.”

Lol

In June of this year, DHS Spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin forcefully proclaimed on social media that Kilmar Abrego Garcia “will never go free on American soil” Today he was released by a federal judge He spent this evening with his family In Maryland

In May, Human Rights Watch released a report showing how gig platforms use opaque algorithms to erode workers' wages. Now a new investigation finds Instacart is running AI price experiments: charging different people different prices for the *same* groceries, sometimes by more than 23%. Read this:

Why does the Democratic Party think constituents are stupid? Why do they make themselves so difficult to support.

Really interesting article/effort.

Erika Kirk is getting an entire prime time Town Hall on CBS to discuss faith, grief and loss The 4 kids who died last weekend in the Stockton shooting won’t get a mention The hundreds of other school shootings won’t get a mention The political assassination of Melissa Hortman won’t get a mention

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

a fun fact about Tom Perriello is that he is the only member of congress who reviewed and made edits to the original Indivisible Guide before we launched it

I’m running for Congress in Virginia’s 5th District because families and workers deserve a fair shot. Costs keep rising while salaries aren’t - and MAGA Republicans are cutting food & health care to fund corporate tax breaks instead of defending Virginia’s families. youtu.be/C2AQX9_HMK0?...

It is newsworthy that the president of the United States is increasingly verbally abusive of women reporters and he should be asked about it.

Amazon workers in Quebec unionized, so Amazon closed all their fulfillment centres in the province. 7 centres shut down. Almost 2,000 people out of work. This is a massive violation of labour rights. It’s also an excellent reason to boycott Amazon.

Seems like a great opportunity, so long as the roads hold up, to get everyone out of the house and well fed pre or post any snow activities!

This is disgraceful.

These are amazing, and I’m sad that they are out of stock.

For Caturday, my beloved on a better day. He’s very sick rn.

Petty shitty people.

As long as Spotify is willing to take money from ICE, they don’t need (or deserve) free advertising for Spotify Wrapped: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify?source=bluesky

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

Also solidly great article.

As interesting as I found Mamdani, I’m more fascinated watching @katmabu.bsky.social in IL, I’m on the edge of my seat. If we come out of the next four years with any sort of democracy, how we do politics is going to be profoundly different.

Rep. Crockett’s Statement on the Supreme Court’s Ruling on Texas’s 2026 Map

Looking for a #GivingTuesday option that will keep giving? Maybe something that will help folks being terrorized by the current regime? Give to the Central Virginia Community Support Fund, a grassroots, all-volunteer effort that pays immigration bond for Virginians detained by ICE.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

WTF!!!!!!!!
