Today's great coinage from Jon Stewart: the phone as WMI = Weapon of Mass Illumination 📸📱📹

Yesterday I visited Okinawa’s Kakazu Takadai Park (嘉数高台公園), a place where thousands of Japanese and American soldiers died in April 1945. There is still a “wall of bullet holes” (弾痕の塀), a reminder of the ferocity of the battles that killed 150,000 Okinawan civilians.

The “Donroe Doctrine” is not complicated, and it’s not new. Whatever passes for international relations under Trump is driven by the same impulse as immigration, criminal justice, trade, and pretty much everything else:

I happened to be in Tokyo’s Daikanyama neighborhood today, where I had the chance to greet the Danish embassy, just a few days after Denmark handed over the gavel of the EU Presidency to Cypress.

It’s two days before Christmas, which makes it a great day for a No Kings ride around town here in San Jose.
We The People have just about made it through 2025, a year of enormous damage but also renewed hope. Do you still have your #NoKings signs, hats, shirts, spirit? Please share!

The 4 volumes of Epstein files that were released today by DOJ amount to a total of 2.997 GB.
So, in light of the FBI memo over the summer stating that there is "more than 300 gigabytes of data and physical evidence," that leaves at least 297.003 GB still being hidden.
