Relatives Gather From Across The Country To Stare Into Screens Together https://theonion.com/relatives-gather-from-across-the-country-to-stare-into-1819575960/

For some reason, thinking about Christmas Day 1989 Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu (& his wife) were executed by firing squad at 2:50 p.m. Charges: Subversion of the state by organizing armed actions against the people & state Destruction of public property by destroying & damaging buildings

The court is illegitimate...I know it's a radical idea, but a corrupt court that rules a president cannot be held accountable for CRIMES is unacceptable.

Merry Christmas to all

Merry Christmas to all, and to Donald Trump, good night

Wherever you are this holiday season, I hope it is in your happy place

Christmas in the East Wing, 2023. 🎄

He was a pure manipulator; his brain, if he had ever had one, must have early oozed along into the muscles of his fingers.

CBS destroying a brand they built up over the course of like 100 years for one criminal idiot is a pretty funny bit

Happy Festivus to all that celebrate….is everyone ready to air out their grievances?

Everyone in the government that was involved in sending American people to the CECOT concentration camp must go to prison. Prison. There must be consequences. Starting with Kristi Noem.

A great segment. That CBS tried to spike a story about the US sending people to an infamous concentration camp tells you everything about where we are as a nation. The Trump administration is trying to win the game because if not, it should be fucking prison for them. Please watch and share.

It takes less than 90 minutes for Louis Winthorp to go from privileged 1%er to thinking shooting rich people in the kneecaps might be a good idea because they're needlessly cruel and like, yeah he gets it

not something you ever want to hear from past CDC leadership, but it’s the truth

More Trump in the Epstein files, more Trump wanting his own name on massive, unneeded battleships, more Trump removing 30 ambassadors, more & more humans taken without due process…the grotesquerie of America’s mistake showcased day after day. So much work ahead to repair the damage.

If there was a liberal equivalent to Fox/NY Post every page of the Epstein docs that slightly mentions Trump would be 2–3 weeks of content. Panel discussions, breaking alerts, hell even 3d reenactments. Roger Ailes was an evil genius at such things.

The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells. Americans once opposed this inhumane system. The Trump administration sent innocent people there to suffer.

Prison. Noem to prison for violating US laws and the constitution on torture, and violating her oath of office. Which Democratic leader will say that first?

Garland is the gift that keeps on giving.

This is straight out of a George Saunders fever dream.

When you absolutely, positively, have to get your holiday party guests the HELL out of your house

I watch these two films recently with a surreal kind of sadness. Two institutions that meant so much to me and the world of journalism. Destroyed by degenerate oligarchs and their moronic lackeys that care nothing for journalism, the truth, and democracy.

Lowell Bergman: "Is CBS corporate telling CBS News do not go to air with this story?"

TikTok is removing clips of the leaked 60 Minutes segment. The Ellison family (which acquired Paramount — CBS’s parent company — and The Free Press, making Bari Weiss Editor-in-Chief of CBS) is set to co-own TikTok through a Trump-backed deal.

These are concentration camps. No other way to describe them. Truly horrific, and none of it surprising in the least.

bari weiss saw this and decided that she had to hide it from the american public

It's good to be the king.

Bari Weiss’ CBS is what the tech fascists mean by creating “parallel” journalism. Create new fake brands (“The Free Press”) or hollow out existing brands and replace with right-wing clones. Or both! That’s why I included her in the “Mirror World Mafia” last year.

fwiw - no we cant "just ignore" cbs. it is a major, influential media outlet and pretending it doesnt have sway is dumb - it is important to repeatedly and consistently call this sort of thing out. "everybody" doesnt know or is aware of media rot

Epstein Survivor Jess Michaels: I'm feeling strangely validated. Because in plain sight, and with even with an act of Congress, we're seeing the exact same delays, negligence, corruption, incompetence that we've seen consistently and have been advocating about. They've actually proved our point.

This whole 🧵

“They want us to be overwhelmed. They want us to become benumbed to the mounting horror. They want us to think their success is inevitable & there’s nothing we can do about it. This is how they win. It’s our job in the coming year to prove how wrong they are.” www.americaamerica.news/p/we-cant-st...

I grew up watching 60 Minutes with my dad. It was a Sunday ritual. I continued that tradition with my own family. No more. What a sad end to such a storied and long-running institution. Disgraceful.

Sad death of CBS News as actual journalism And a reminder that CECOT is a human rights travesty, and everyone up and down the Trump admin involved in illegally sending people there belong in The Hague.

Evergreen post for this administration.

The Clash Clash bassist Paul Simonon was BOTD in 1955

People are rightly disgusted by this speech, but it’s a measure of fascism’s normalization that many see this as more of the awful same rather than what I think most of us who’ve been reporting this beat hear it as: a significant calculated escalation. Full alert stuff.

junior dem staffer: hey do you guys think we should have a plan in place for when trump doesn't comply with the epstein files release senior dem staffer: don't be a fucking idiot. somebody toss this insolent little fucker in the pit

the vice president is a klansman

Why did the White House think they could get away with such an egregious cover-up? Because this is the beltway press…

For months I’ve been pleading with major media to say TRUMP IS BUILDING A DICTATORSHIP But instead we get soft-serve headlines like this one in the New York Times. 1/4 🧵🧵🧵🧵
