This piece cites 13 insightful pieces on Miller from this year, plus a bunch of other stories that mention Miller's pathologies (such as how he views the murderboat campaign as an opportunity to make Latinos look criminal). www.emptywheel.net/2025/12/27/w...

You don't need to take my word for it. You can simply ask yourself what you would expect to see from an opposition party that was serious about abolishing ICE right now. Are you seeing these things from the Democratic party or from its voters?

I wanna a continuously updated list of all that Trump has named after himself. And I want it to be called the Turkmenbashi Tracker. www.theguardian.com/world/2006/d...

Absolutely! To my mind it's one of the Great Society's crowning achievements, literally the first time (& in many ways still the only time) federal immigration law & policy have truly paralleled our foundational & defining diversity. www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2025/01/cons...

The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good & the very gentle & the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry. Hemingway

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth. When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

"Afraid of appearing partisan, the Obama administration looked the other way when it came to prosecuting war criminals and torturers. The lack of confrontation is coming back to haunt us." Every previous administration left unaccountable for its crimes is a lesson in why not to repeat the mistake.

This story with its gripping first person account of the US sanctioned terror at CECOT is going to end up being one of the most watched @60minutes.bsky.social stories ever and now you can also read it:

Anyone who thought Trump wasn’t going to bomb people on Christmas Day hasn’t been paying attention.

Trump, as he wrote that post…

Top tier joke

Following the King's address, the combined choir of "Songs for Ukraine" and the Royal Opera House Choir performed the English version of the Ukrainian song "Shchedryk," known as "Carol of the Bells."

The machinery of State terror. The Russian and German systems for moving, detaining and killing regime opponents and targeted groups involved 1000s of sites, large and small, supported by an extensive transport network.

When you look at people’s homes ruined by Russian attacks , I want you to remember it’s -8 here in Kyiv tonight . and it’s not the coldest part of Ukraine - for Kharkiv it’s -11. What Russia is doing is deliberate attempt to freeze us.

This 17yr old teen confronts US Border Patrol Commander, Gregory Bovino during this display of #ICELawlessness as they abduct a young man with a newborn baby. He demands to see a warrant & is denied. Where are the police? Where are city officials asking this? Shouldn't we have our own watchdogs?

“By this fall, ICE agents were arresting people at a higher rate in Illinois than almost anywhere else in the country.” “The people arrested here were as young as 4 and as old as 75.” “Most weren’t charged with a crime. But many of those arrested have already been deported.”

I deleted my post about alleged letter from Epstein to Nassar because I’m concerned about its authenticity and I’m worried that sharing it may help the DoJ damage the credibility of other documents if it turns out to be a forgery.

Remember: It ys okaye to be lonelye. It ys okaye to feel lost. It ys okaye to be sad. It ys okaye yf nobody ys arounde. It ys okaye to have no plannes or just small plannes. It ys okaye to have big plannes that seem exhausting. It ys okaye to be a mess. Take care of thyself. Thou art amazinge.

In Norway, today is lille julaften — Little Christmas Eve. Want to sample the traditions? Watch this 1963 British comedy sketch, "Dinner for One," which airs every year at 9 p.m. It somehow became an enduring hit across Europe, where in many countries it is shown on New Year's Eve.

For younger listeners Cream were a chamber quartet whose mid-wintery cello & acoustic driven sound was augmented by organ handbells trumpet and tonette. This song is typical of their output and had a huge influence on the contemporary gothic wyrd folk sound www.youtube.com/watch?v=89z5...

The U.S. military just announced another strike on a boat it claims was smuggling drugs near Venezuela, again without evidence. One more person dead. Over 100 killed so far. Trump also threatened the president of Colombia.

Trump on Jan. 9, 2024: “I was never on Epstein’s plane.” Newly released documents: Trump was on Epstein’s plane multiple times.

Almost a year ago, a great light went out: Sarah Lee Best, Penn Law '21, was one of 67 souls aboard the flight that collided with a military helicopter and crashed into the Potomac. Sarah was my student and I am honored to join in a dedication to her memory: pennlawreview.com/2025/12/23/f...

A huge semiotic problem with these insane, evil MAGA fascists is that the generic American business suit normalizes them visually (and subconsciously) even as they fill the air with their genocidal inanities. The style seems to fool the legacy media, at the very least. @dieworkwear.bsky.social

When the mood is grey, I look for beauty. Visited a gallery today. Now, there’s an air raid alert in Kyiv. I’m in the city centre, having a warcoffee and choosing books. When the mood is grey…

This is the first time I’ve ever heard Rogan or Weiss speak. They are both dumb as shit wow

The US/SR talks are ending in Florida, so Russia may be preparing to fire numerous missiles into Ukraine. 1 x Tu160 and 4 x Tu-95 fighter/bombers are in the air. It could be a dummy run, but on the other hand, missiles may arrive in 3 hours.

Lt Gen Fanil Sarvarov, who heads the operational training directorate for the General Staff of Russia, was selected to become a surprise cosmonaut. The blast from his surprise launch rattled half of Moscow. He did not survive reentry.

Apparently, ICE isn’t doing enough… So the gang is expanding its ranks, recruiting *private bounty hunters* to track down immigrants at home and at work

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

The conditions at the Broadview ICE Processing Center are INHUMANE, UNSAFE, INAPPROPRIATE, INADEQUATE.  We will be back. And we will continue the oversight work until we hold Noem, Homan, Bovino, and DHS accountable.

This feels like three lives ago: the Christmas tree in Kyiv shone so brightly in 2021. Terrorussia may cut the lights in our homes, but the real source of light and power in Ukraine remains our people. #makerussiapay Photo Krasen Kyiv twitter.
