Okay, folks- I know we all have plenty to do, but if you're at all concerned about the White House & historic preservation, please consider submitting public comment on Trump's ballroom project; info in this thread. First, a direct link for submitting written statements: www.ncpc.gov/participate/...

Truth.

And what are they learning? Experts on the formation of internal security services in authoritarian regimes point to a sense of impunity as a warning sign. Regime officials abuse their power when they know they will be protected, and even praised, for doing so. Over the course of weeks and months, we have seen images of DHS officials abusing American citizens and immigrants alike, including killing them. What we do not hear is regime officials calling for credible investigations into such abuses, or even expressing any concerns. Renee Good’s killer was announced innocent, and both Good and her wife was instead the subject of an investigation, a perversion of justice so obvious that an FBI agent and half-dozen career Department of Justice prosecutors assigned to Minnesota resigned.

What we are watching is a paramilitary force learning that they can kill with impunity, that the regime will smear the victim and defend them. Unless politicians and the legal system exerts accountability, it will not stop. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/past-the-b...

His 6 month old stopped breathing!

HIS SIX MONTH OLD STOPPED BREATHING!

A father was getting his kids out of the neighborhood because it was unsafe & ICE threw flash bangs & tear gas at his car with children & a baby inside!

His 6 month old stopped breathing & all the children were hospitalized!

The numbers for Baltimore are astounding.

27 December 1879 | A French Jew, Sylvain Schnerb, was born in Colmar. During the war he lived in Paris.

In September 1943 he was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

Kyiv did not sleep once again last night. On the last weekend of the year, the capital should have smelled of mulled wine, cinnamon, chocolate and joy.

Instead, our city was filled with smoke, gunpowder, explosions, screams, and curses.

The Russian attack lasted twelve hours.

Relatedly, we obtained an unpublished history of Stephen Miller's ancestors' immigration to the US, written by his grandmother. People like them were attacked in terms very similar to the ones Miller and MAGA use about today's immigrants:

CNN covers the Epstein-Nassar letter about Trump

Inside Stephen Miller’s Dark Plot to Build a MAGA Terror State He is descended from Russian Jews—you know, the kind of people who were once denounced as alien and unassimilable. Today, his project is to unleash government persecution of those he deems alien and u...

Stephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety.

We spent weeks reporting on Miller's real aims. Here's the result. We hope you'll read:

Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

Democrats would be crazy not to make this comment super-famous tomorrow when the Senate debates health care. Republicans don’t want you to be cared for as a patient when you’re sick. They think of you as a “consumer”—and tough luck if you don’t have the money for the care you need.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

Sad that you didn’t realize how bad it would be given who is in office and key positions. I’m surprised you thought it would be “better” than it is.

Roblox is a problem — but it’s a symptom of something worse What is the role of tech journalism in a world where CEOs no longer feel shame?

Larry Summers to retire to spend more time with the family that he was doggedly trying to be unfaithful to

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Black women in America are more than twice as likely as white women to have a stillbirth.

Getting physicians to take their concerns seriously is one reason for this disparity, they say: “If you’re a Black woman, you get dismissed.”

They gutted the Washington Post. CBS. NYT. Now Teen Vogue.

The point isn't to bring in more conservatives. They've reached that saturation point.

They are killing the fourth estate and buying up the social media to control the messages we see. These were all targeted to disarm the left of truth.

Funny because I’m still spending a good bit of money, just not at Target since they abandoned all morals. My affluent money is going elsewhere.

Ken Casey of Dropkick Murphys: 'I Will Go to the Mat' for 'True American' Bad Bunny

“I by no means think that punk should be uniformly one thing,” Casey tells Rolling Stone in an exclusive interview. “But the punk that I was raised to listen to, it should be speaking up against abuses in the government.”

Trump’s Attack on Ontario’s Reagan Ad Helped Amplify Its Reach In the global portfolio of political ads that changed history, a handful stand out.

Shame we don't have a name for this phenomenon, maybe @mmasnick.bsky.social can come up with one.
