WATCH: Chris Hayes is joined by Asawin Suebsaeng and John Ganz to discuss the backlash after CBS News chief Bari Weiss pulled a “60 Minutes” report on the mega-prison where the Trump administration has deported migrants.

This is sinister. If you're wondering why so many people don't report sexual assault, this is why.

NYT shows how Bari Weiss really screwed this up. She didn't attend any of the 5 screenings of the story, which began on Dec. 12. She only first weighed in on Thursday, and the show incorporated her suggestions. She then waited until weekend to ask for more edits. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/22/b...

Here's the cory booker upload. Hopefully this will stay up longer. youtu.be/jiehEMlNiCI?...

Yes! On my YouTube and also here open.substack.com/pub/qasimras...

CBS filed a copyright claim against my YouTube channel for posting Canada's version of the CECOT story that Bari Weiss killed—SO—I downloaded the transcript and read the transcript verbatim. Here it is. Please watch & share to fight fascism & censorship. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uRf...

This also occurred to me today.

Stephen Miller wants everyone at 60 Minutes who “engaged in this revolt” (aka told the truth) fired

Turns out there's no such thing as being a little short for a storm trooper.

This is the real cancel culture. Using the full force of the government to punish perceived enemies, aid their billionaire tech cronies, and protect pedophiles, neo-Nazis, and other extremist, antisemitic hate groups. THIS is the threat to our rights and freedoms. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/t...

And here is a cleaner, uploaded version on Internet Archive: archive.org/details/ceco...

Use of force by members of the NYPD surged 20% last year to 11,746 incidents — a record high since the department began detailed record-keeping on the issue in 2016, according to a police department report quietly posted online in recent days. — @yoavgonen.bsky.social www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/23/u...

(FWIW, and I can't stop thinking about this, it's not even a year. Eleven months. ELEVEN MONTHS.)

At every opportunity, shortcuts are taken to carry out the authoritarian inclinations of the current administration. These immigrants should be allowed due process, and the opportunity to argue against their removal! https://www.npr.org/2025/12/22/nx-s1-5652187/alien-enemies-act-deportations-case

thinking of the fugitive slave act and people who profited from it

Via Kelcie Moseley-Morris: The DOJ opinion is written by Joshua Craddock, who joined the DOJ in July after years of writing about his views that life begins at fertilization and there should be legal protections beginning from that stage of life. His views include opposition to traditional IVF.

"Her family has now been told she has been deported, despite US District Judge Brendan Hurson ruling Thursday that she could not be deported pending a hearing...attorneys said Monday that they have...confirm[ed] with the hospital she was born in Maryland." https://bit.ly/3MMdJvz

White House Senior Advisor Stephen Miller has spent years weaponizing hatred to become the mastermind of Trump’s crackdown on marginalized groups. Zeteo traces his most hateful, strange, and downright cringey moments along the way.

The U.S. is giving dying mall vibes. I can't explain it, but you know I'm right.

Today we honor entrepreneur, philanthropist, political and social activist, and America's first female self-made millionaire Madam C.J. Walker on her birthday!

AI is a cancer.

55,000 Pennsylvanians have declined coverage since enrollment began in November. There was no good reason for this. It’s the scandal of the year.

From @parkermolloy.com at New Republic. newrepublic.com/article/2047... I'd go a bit further. The system needs no conspiracy to function. It just needs everyone to understand the direction things are going in. Bari Weiss was put there not to protect a legacy, but to align its politics differently.

One family said their US citizen child has been traumatized and constantly worries about ICE coming back to their home. “Our daughter has had terrifying dreams. She wakes up screaming,” her mom said. “We have her regularly going to a therapist.” open.substack.com/pub/americas...

Welcome to my New York nightmare. May she rest in peace “A woman was killed when scaffolding collapsed on her in East Harlem Tuesday morning after it was struck by a van in a chain-reaction crash sparked by a private sanitation truck driver, police said.” www.nydailynews.com/2025/12/23/w...

America “is on a “trajectory toward competitive authoritarianism: a system in which elections, courts, and other democratic institutions persist in form but are systematically manipulated to entrench executive control.” This is the assessment of hundreds of former US intelligence officers.

This always seemed to be the goal, right? They wanted to push unemployment higher to suppress wages while keeping those stock prices strong. And it looks like it worked.

Winning this and then standing on my beliefs by immediately chopping my own head off

Bari Weiss' reporting experience is summed up by the time the NYT bizarrely gave her the cushiest possible assignment - go to Australia and hang out and write about it - and she produced a story so bad and so wrong about basic facts of Australian life that it became a running joke there.

Trump's obsession with birth certificates being "fake" was not a one-off

Choose your hell Vanity fair photo shoot or zoom call screenshot?

You could have given me a dozen guesses and I wouldn't have been able to correctly identify this person

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

you dont have to like hillary clinton at all to see this is a massive fucking problem.

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.

P.S. here's the leaked 60 minutes segment, in case you hadn't seen it. These kidnappers and human traffickers can't hide from us.

So apparently there are many Epstein files on the DOJ website where you can highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it onto another document to read the redactions

here is a link to a high res .jpg, and a .psd file, feel free to use for any purpose that's related to or adjacent to screaming at ICE to leave our neighbors alone. drive.google.com/drive/folder...

I am proud of my city! Fuck ICE! (and I added a color version to the previously linked folder!)

it’s really fucking cool to see people working outside the system to expose the hacks running all of our crumbling institutions

everyone who shared a link to the spiked 60 minutes segment proved that another way is possible.

which is easier: passing legislation with a simple majority or assembling the 67 Senate votes necessary to remove a justice? bsky.app/profile/wood...

new coloring book page just dropped. chinga la migra, ICE out of LA!
