Very good list to follow
With most of mainstream media in the tank for Trump and the oligarchs, please support your indie journalists and truth tellers.

Not an exhaustive list, but there are some excellent ones in this pack.

In case you’re settling into this winter lamenting not having read everything The Atlantic has published this year, you’re in luck. The Atlantic managing editor @bhumikatharoor.bsky.social created a list of stories you may have missed that are worth your time. See the full list:
31 Atlantic Stories You Might Have Missed
An assortment of articles about a journey to Mark Twain’s Paris, what parents of boys should know, obtaining the perfect suit, and more.

American intelligence does not confirm the fact of a drone attack on Putin's residence.
There is neither evidence nor recorded activity of Ukrainian drones within the radius of the residence.

Now, this must be confirmed by other intelligence agencies capable of providing clear

Trump is Putin's loyal servant.
Trump repeats any lie that Putin utters.
Trump pressures Ukraine to Russia's benefit.
Trump does nothing for Ukrainbe.
Therefore, Trump should be excluded from any talks about Ukraine.
Europe, stand up and deliver!

Seems important
Elections are being tampered with; we need to get the big money out
How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:

1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics

Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

Pelosi: “The President incited an insurrection. We begged him to send the National Guard, they never sent them. This President is trying to re-write history… it was an assault on the constitution of 🇺🇸.”

You can watch the 60 Minutes piece (with a link in my story) about the abuse & torture migrants received in the El Salvador gulag after being deported by the Trump regime without due process & lies about their criminality. This horror is what Trump apologist Bari Weiss didn’t want Americans to see.
Bullseye from 60 Minutes journalist Sharyn Alfonsi in response to Bari Weiss: “If the administration’s refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a ‘kill switch’ for any reporting they find inconvenient.”

Snapshot: Rejecting the Regime's 'Kill Switch'
CBS News' Bari Weiss blocked a rigorous '60 Minutes' story about the brutal CECOT prison. This is not tolerable.

If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Accurate about a Pathological Liar and Convicted Felon who Incited an Insurrection, tried to Steal a Fair Election and is Covering up Sex Crimes against Children, shouldn't his Disgraceful Presidency be terminated? I say, YES!

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head.

That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

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...

Bill Clinton needs to come out and admit his involvement and tell all about DT's involvement because HE KNOWS. It's beyond time. I say this as someone who voted for him (and his wife) and respect all he did for the country. Now it's time to help save the country.

You cannot see wilderness from a road. What you see from a road is something different- a scene, a panorama, a picture; but you do not feel anything.
