People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Fascinating tool altho depressing as hell.still good to call local companies if you do business with them and say byeeeeeee

🚨 Of all the "alternative" ACA bills the GOP has scrambled to slap together over the past week or so, it looks like the Senate GOP has decided to go with one of the worst as their alternative to simply extending the f*cking tax credits. acasignups.net/25/12/08/upd...

1. This is so dangerous. Candace Owens tells her large fanbase filled with radicalized vigilantes and self-appointed intelligence officers that they should be deeply suspicious of Ukrainian refugees, as they may be operating as agents of French and/or Israeli intelligence.

JFC. The weakening of America continues.

"I can't afford to support my favorite author right now, I—" Reviews. Reviews are free AND they are a gift to authors that can keep on giving (i.e., exposure, marketing, algo boosts, etc.) Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!

And reviews, please, even if the book isn’t new. If you loved it, write about it! Please and thank you!

Lmao is this the first democratic mayor of Miami since like... Bay of Pigs??

Reminder: you should absolutely start wearing the best mask you can find in public spaces, even if you stopped before. We have no public health at the top level & repeat infections have ravaged immune systems. If someone gives you a hassle, say "even if it's just a cold, I DON'T WANT THAT EITHER!"

Can we please make public bigotry shameful again? Gift article: wapo.st/4s2l6iC

Jesse Mack Butler raped & strangled two underage girls. One of them was put in hospital and required vascular surgery. He received community service for violent sex crimes that almost took a life. He will reoffend, and everyone who helped him go free should be held accountable

If you’re in criminal justice, I want you able to understand science, with high critical thinking skills, so you don’t get scammed by dowsers, blood spatter analysts, dentists faking evidence, or arson “investigators” who refuse to admit modern houses are made of solidified petroleum.

I think Trump experiences fear, jealousy, pleasure, disgust, rage, & that's about it, emotionally speaking. Barely a peg above lizard shit. Beyond that I think he's basically a glitchy human AI, trying to spit out a facsimile of human-sounding language without any real processing or understanding.

I cannot stress enough how the AI thing is just blockchain again. It has some uses, yes, but they're not actually general purpose ones. The bubble is going to burst and it's going to be so bad and like all cons, it's going to leave a few people rich and the rest FUCKED OVER.

Reminder that not only do library systems have physical media (& many also lend tools, electronics etc), your library card may give you access to streamers Kanopy and Hoopla. We just watched Francis Ford Coppola’s adaptation of The Rainmaker via a hoopla the other night. Pretty good!

what a great way to frame. Pharrel (and lotta other peoples') apathy and neutrality is LOUD and SAD and BAD

He knows exactly what he's doing and declaring: 'Acquiring and maintaing wealth is my guiding moral priciple. If it doesn't directly impact me or my ability to make money I don't care.' Lots of people (many of them your faves) feel the same and emulate it even though they can't afford it.

“I’d have no problem releasing the video” “I didn’t say that, you said that. Fake news.” 5 days apart 😬 (From @therecount.com )

Former DOJ attorney Liz Oyer just said something that should stop everybody cold: The Justice Department has started calling Immigration Judges “Deportation Judges.” She breaks down what that shift means: for due process, for families, & for a system already weaponized against the most vulnerable.

What a great day for a renewed spoils system: (1) the constitutionality of merit-based civil service laws is questioned at SCOTUS (2) Trump announces an arbitrary $12bn clientelistic payout to “farmers” (funding source and statutory authority TBD I guess) Roscoe Conkling would be so proud

Minutes ago today the Trump regime abruptly cancelled citizenship ceremonies for several immigrants in Boston. THEY CANCELLED CITIZENSHIP CEREMONIES. These immigrants followed every rule & did everything right—Trump banned them anyway. All are from Black & brown majority nations. This Is Fascism.

Hey folks 👋 I'm the reporter who revealed immigration agents detained 170+ citizens this year My fellowship w/ProPublica has been incredible, but it wraps January. I'm looking for my next gig. Please reach out to share leads & opportunities! [email protected] www.propublica.org/people/nicol...

Sobering reminder of why good #scicomm is important and "what's the harm" in promoting wild ideas? 🧪🎢🔭

404 Media is making a print zine! About the surveillance technologies used by ICE. 16 pages, riso printed. Shipping early January. Features reworked versions of our best reporting and a few new things. We're very excited! And hope to do more if people like it: www.404media.co/404-media-is...

fellas, is it good when the ruling party requires public institutions to recruit for ideological youth cadres

If it hasn't been said, I'll say it: No woman of color would ever be defended in this "she's just a smol bean" fashion & many Black, Latina, Asian & Indigenous women have had their lives & careers destroyed for nothing, or for far, far less. Same goes for trans women. These are just fucking facts.

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” - Upton Sinclair www.politico.com/news/magazin...

it’s not just AI slop: they’re breaking shit constantly now since the latest update, random things will crash Explorer and my taskbar will restart, Discord kept freezing until I turned off notifications, and trying to scroll in Chrome with some games alt-tabbed is a glitchy mess

Whoa … this is really strange. Federal law enforcement managed to confiscate almost two tons of cocaine, and arrest 3 suspects, without blowing the boat out of the water or killing anyone. 🎁 link ⤵️ www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

MORE BOOK QUESTIONS!!!

Do not let them bring this gross racist term into normal convo—literally call your R congressman and senators and ask if they will condemn this anti-American bigoted word and concept—along with other grievances like fire Hegseth and RFK post haste

The real task isn’t “teaching people to spot misinformation.” It’s rebuilding conditions where verification, deliberation and accountability are possible. Critical thinking only works when the world around it gives those skills a place to take root.

"It would not possible to halt a pandemic, therefore we have no choice but to make it as bad as possible."

the very rich people currently trying to rewrite our media consumption: what the people want is more canceled comedians whining about trans people the audience, voting with their eyeballs: bring us more gay hockey sex

You can be the most loving, compassionate person in the world... but... if you’re not actively guarding your mind...you will become desensitized to human suffering...in ways that are far beyond what you would ever consider acceptable.

DTMFA. He should be wondering how every single item you owned vanished from his life and your phone number changed in under 2 minutes.

I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

It only took four of us making a two-minute public comment about the library at the city council meeting for the councilors to restore the funding the mayor’s office had cut.

A day for getting cosy with your slippers and mince pie and a cuppa. Imagine this vintage clock case scene on your bookcase, lit up twinkling cosy next to the Christmas tree and you in your slippers with a cuppa. Cosy joy!

'In the winter garden' - my favourite geometric garden aerial that I've ever done! I don't remember if I shared it here or not yet - it has camellia bushes in the centre and beds of winter heather and hellebore :) the geometric landscapes are always more challenging and I love that! #embroidery

Day 6 of #ArtAdventCalendar I made some needle felted birds as ornaments one xmas and my nephew wanted another one so I made him this owl last year

America is as much an idea as it is a place. There is nothing more sacred in the liminal space of America than a naturalization ceremony. There are few parallels to it anywhere else in the world. You will never see a deeper love of this country than a naturalization ceremony.

Watch and see how nonfake this very fake thing is. Someone pointed out the humans ALL sticking their faces right to the dogs' rather immediately is also a way to say....wait a sec

Come to my book event queen? Seriously can we have some butts in the seats at this bookstore next Friday? Welcome one & all near DC & spread word!
