I used to be proud to be a Princeton graduate but now with Bezos '86, Cruz '92, & Hegseth '03 not so much. Thank God for Michelle Obama '85, Sotomayor '76 & Kagan '81. Happy childfree by choice cat lady, 💯 reproductive self-determination #VoteThemAllOut 🇺🇦

"I’ve been reporting on the criminal justice system for more than a decade and have spent time in cities with a lot of law enforcement. I’ve also lived in an authoritarian country overseas, yet I’ve never experienced a police presence like this."

I'm a veteran criminal justice reporter. I've never seen anything like ICE-occupied Memphis.

CBS News(max) is officially cooked. Bari Weiss killed a whole-ass network.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Share and tell CBS to air this! Sharyn Alfonsi, the veteran “60 Minutes” correspondent who reported a segment about migrants sent to the El Salvadoran torture prison CECOT, just sent a blistering letter to colleagues, sounding the alarm that Bari Weiss spiked the story for political reasons.

This is not original with me, but screw it. I will assume that every black box on every page of the heavily-redacted Epstein files is hiding either a reference to or a photo of Donald J. Trump.

This @peterbakernyt.bsky.social paragraph is a perfect summary of our descent into authoritarianism.

He’s not even editorializing. He’s just reporting what’s happened, and what we’ve become numb to. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/u...

Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

Why would anyone risk themselves to go on 60 Minutes after this? How can viewers ever trust CBS News to report fairly on topics this White House is sensitive about?

It’s pretty simple. If America votes for Republicans, then America doesn’t deserve democracy. It’s also pretty simple that if fascism wins because of cheating, then we deserve democracy. They never won to begin with. We have a lot of assholes in this country, but not quite that many. ☯️⚖️✌️

I am furious that DOJ ignored the new federal law requiring release of the Epstein Files. I am equally angry that so many in legacy media seem not to care.

Never forget this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture war is meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.

President Clinton is right. This is not getting as much attnetion as it should. The USA under Trumpstein is betraying this promise, which means any agreement involving Russia and the USA is not worth the paper it’s written on 🤷‍♂️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapes...

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.
