Never trust corporate social media.

Trump is honestly the dumbest guy… or he’s got another agenda.

It’s been a year of Putin lying to him, and Trump believing it.

I get it maga, he hates the people you hate. But he’s an embarrassment to our nation on the world stage

It appears the whole Putin “Ukraine tried to kill me with 91 drones last night” was entirely made up. And of course Trump repeated it and said he was mad at Ukraine.

Nightly Russia launched drones and missiles at innocent people.

And tried to Kill Zelensky every day

Spare me the gaslight

Mamdani took over the @NYCMayor account on Twitter but old Eric Adams tweets are still active. That means Mamdani's name and face shows up for old tweets he didn't send.

You're probably going to see a lot of screenshots like this where Mamdani appears to praise Netanyahu, but they aren't by Mamdani

What the KENNEDY Center used to be…

Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

Wrap your minds around this: We are now banning European anti-hate organizations from entering the US. This is being done in your names.

Trump has/is abusing the Presidential power of pardon to enrich himsef selling pardons for a million dollars or favors and promises. Justice Roberts is silent. Focused in lecturing the American people on Judiicary independence while he burns democracy,

I wonder if the cost of a pardon goes up for repeat offenders or if you get a discount for being a regular? 🤔

That, and also I have to keep reminding myself that for however monumentally bleak it was/is, the year showed a ton of meaningful solidarity and support from ordinary, everyday, working people from all kinds of backgrounds, showing up and fighting for one another even in the face of actual violence…
2025 was a tough year for a variety of reasons, but I very much appreciate all of you, my pocket friends. Sending y’all my best wishes for 2026.

just so it's clear: this is the exact core function of genAI

Fascist government and climate deniers love it because it can produce the aesthetics of knowledge without any actual tendency towards truth. It is automated denialism.

Shame on every climate scientist promoting its use (there are lots)
Bob and I were among the hundreds of researchers that were supposed to conduct the 6th U.S. National Climate Assessment. Now it looks like they're gonna produce it with a few people and Grok? Communities need rigorous and accurate information about climate change. This will put communities at risk.

The world’s 500 richest people have total wealth of $11.9tn.

Their wealth up by $2.2tn in 2025. 8 billionaires accounting for a 25% of the gains.

No one becomes this rich by working.

They fund right-wing parties, oppose worker/human rights, cause more pollution than normal people.
Billionaires added record $2.2tn in wealth in 2025
Just eight billionaires accounted for a quarter of the gains, led by Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Larry Ellison and Larry Page

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”

In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.
