"Demonstrators directed their holiday jeer at Apple, demanding the company restore an app that helps everyday onlookers report immigration enforcement activity. Protestors sang satirical carols with lyrics rewritten to lambast Apple chief executive Tim Cook..." www.oregonlive.com/business/202...

Of course 😡

The most deeply-hated & unlovable person in the world enjoys his morning EggMcMuffin & Coke today while pushing send on one of the most degenerate, loathsome, & putrid posts he's ever twooted. All because he is jealous of the goodness, achievements, & acclaim of Rob Reiner that will NEVER be his.

Well this is GDP, not wealth. But - if the numbers are not bullshit - it supports the idea that liberals support the economy and conservatives suck its tit.

Yes, he IS the WORST PRESIDENT EVER too

Kash Patel announced the FBI had a “person of interest” in the Brown University shooting. By Monday morning, that person was released—and the local police chief blamed the FBI. Another self-own from the top. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

the other thing that strikes me about dreher’s take — and related ones — is that they depend on the conceit that political history began, at most, 10 years ago.

Bondi Beach has "long been a rich center of Australian Jewish life," Michael Fullilove writes. "For our Jewish citizens, who have given so much to our country, Bondi has been not just a place of refuge, but a place to thrive."

Another big reason to worry about Bari Weiss’ tenure at CBS News

BREAKING: Russia has indicated it's open to Ukraine joining the European Union as part of a potential peace deal to end the war, U.S. officials said.

It's actually quite amazing Donald Trump can still astound us with his depravity.

The internet is full of fake and coordinated activity, and platforms often rely on SMS verification to prevent it. A hidden market selling SMS verifications lets bad actors bypass these protections, and a new website was created to track and study this problem for the first time.

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

“He said, ‘I’m going to die – please see my family [and tell them] that I went down to save people’s lives.'" --Jozay Alkanj, who was having coffee with Ahmed when the shooting erupted. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

Thank you majority: "According to the most recent edition of an annual Harris Poll, for the first time, a majority of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to democracy." You're right.

When Donald J Trump is the best the GOP can come up with to run for President for 3 straight election cycles, it's time to re-evaluate the nation.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago. His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship." He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

Trump officials celebrated with cake after slashing aid. Then people died of cholera. [via @propublica.org]

This is the most corrupt White House in the history of the country.

Across America, people are posting that this message by Donald Trump is one of the most contemptible and grotesque ever made by a public figure. And I am telling you that it is significantly worse than you think it is. This was a preemptive justification for what Trump presumed was a MAGA murder.

Trump posted this without knowing Nick Reiner had been arrested. He posted it apparently assuming that one of his fans had murdered Rob Reiner. So if you want to know how Trump will react once his fans start murdering his enemies, now you know. He'll celebrate and blame his enemies.

"Many voters who spoke with CNN [about their opposition to Trump's map] said they did not want to be named because they feared being vocal about the issue could also subject them to threats." Remember, the threat of violence is key to Trump's power.

He's feeble, working only a few hours a day, more erratic than ever, and his base is starting to figure it all out.

The president has responded to the tragic death of director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, with an unhinged Truth Social post attacking Reiner for past criticism. trib.al/bKZsrWP

For people thinking: "whew, it's just for classes where they teach about race and gender": (1) what is wrong with you? That's unacceptable. (2) the obvious goal is to dramatically expand this to limit what all faculty can teach

Just an unrelenting piece of shit.

"Meta calculated that about 19% of that money – more than $3 billion – was coming from ads for scams, illegal gambling, pornography and other banned content, according to internal Meta documents reviewed by Reuters." www.reuters.com/investigatio...

As terrible as this string of news has been, it is worth noting that we’re about to head into 2026 — which has a very great chance to be the turning of the tide

This is so vile and so un-American. And calling our founder fathers - who would cringe at this kind of bigoted zealotry - "pearl clutchers" is a twist.

The irony! Ukraine had allowed Ru to keep its fleet in Crimea. Ukraine never cancelled or withdrew the welcome, which was agreed to until 2042! But due to Ru's post-2014 military aggression, Ru can't station its fleet in Crimea and is losing pieces *in its own ports*! Pu only has himself to blame.

Ahmed al Ahmed immigrated from Syria to Australia in 2006. (I’ve seen it reported elsewhere that he was from Idlib in Syria.) He is now an Australian citizen, and this report confirms he is Muslim.

Trump and the GOP occupy the moral low ground

You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency?

He's just lost it. Now saying Rob and Michele Reiner caused their own murder because they didn't support him. So sick.

“The end goal was never to conduct a thorough, unbiased investigation,” said one DOJ lawyer. “The end goal was to file a damn complaint — or have something to threaten the university.” With @chronicle.com

Good back-to-back post combo.

🇩🇪🇪🇺 Russia has brought war back to Europe, disrupting world order, — Merz We need to strengthen our ability to resist. Almost four years later, war has returned to Europe. This is a criminal attack on the world order, which the USSR, and then Russia, agreed with us.

We are now at the point in a family health crisis, where one sibling is insisting we communicate their ChatGPT-backed theory (that contains 0 references to actual studies) to doctors, demanding a therapeutic intervention that has (as far as I can tell) never been tried/tested for a case like this.

Just for those who may be a little confused: “Pro-life” would be 20 Sandy Hook students being college sophomores this year.

Tincher has marks on her neck and wrist from where agents restrained her. Agents cut off her wedding ring and held her in leg shackles at Whipple Federal Building for about five hours, where she saw about seven other detainees.

If you thought CBS was done with Erika Kirk content after 25 social media posts over 3 days plus a televised Town Hall last night, you would be wrong because they are still going with 4 more today.

A recent UN report found that the unsustainable production of food and fossil fuels amounts to a whopping $5 BILLION of environmental damage PER HOUR. 💸 This is the glaring truth that #BigOil doesn’t want you to know: the cost of doing nothing is much higher than the cost of taking climate action.

Warnock: "Any nation that tolerates this kind of violence year after year, decade after decade in random places, on our college and school campuses, without doing all that we can to stop it is broken and in need of moral repair."

Despite the fact that more than 80% of home shoppers consider climate risk when buying a home, Zillow quietly removed climate-risk scores from its listings last month – disappearing data that millions relied on. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/opinion/zillow-redfin-flood-wildfire-risk.html

Enough already. We can -and deserve to- live in a sane society.
