Solidarity isn't when you ignore the boundaries set by the people you claim you want to ally with.

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

If you live in an apt with thin walls you do have a responsibility to be mindful of excessive noise. If you don’t like it, invest in some soundproofing equipment

And don’t argue with your neighbors who rarely complain

Big: Wyoming supreme court just struck down abortion ban.

And get this: The reason is a constitutional amendment codifying a right to make health care decisions... passed in 2012 by conservatives who thought it'd screw Obamacare!

Quite the backfire. We explained this lawsuit a few years back:

five years ago the president of the united states incited an insurrection in order to try to retain power and it is a comprehensive failure at every level - media, law enforcement, courts, politicians and most of all the voters - that he has returned to power and threatens the stability of the world

I will reiterate that if you are an independent journo/hobbyist I will happily set up your ghost install and host it for a few quid above cost price.

You set up your own stripe and mailgun accounts, and you get to keep ALL your revenue.

And post migration from wordpress/substack is pretty easy.
If there is one resolution I want for journalists this year: it is to get off S*bstack and use Ghost or any other indy publishing platform that does not fund literal nazis instead.

While many try to justify the actions and they 'shed no tears' for the toppling of Maduro, TS Eliot said it best:
"The last temptation is the greatest treason: To do the right deed for the wrong reason"

“If a woman dares to show herself in public in any way, then she can and will be sexually harassed with the aid of genAI-driven tools that can easily turn her face into highly realistic pornography” is an absolute red-alarm human rights disaster
The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Missing? The killing of Shacoby Kenny inside Boston's South Bay jail by COs on 12/7.

They surrounded him, pummeled him, knelt on his neck while he said "I can't breathe."

His last words were say a prayer for me.

BPD Homicide is still investigating, but that announcement is coming. #bospoli

Pretty weak to not say this on the record
Some Democrats hate that their party is largely positioning itself in opposition to the operation that resulted in Maduro's capture.

"Everything Trump touches must be bad according to the base," one House Dem told @axios.com

Said another: "It looks weak." www.axios.com/2026/01/04/m...
"It looks weak": Some Democrats want their party to shut up and clap for Maduro's capture

He was of course a MAGA guy. The posts on his account that weren’t replies with AI porn of other women were barely literate Trump support.

The underlying point of the fake genAI nudes in his posts was not so that he could jerk off. One can do that quietly. His point was: “we can do this any time.”

I‘m discontinuing my social media use for the foreseeable future and I want to explain why.

I woke up in the new year to discover that some guy on here had saved photos I took on New Year’s Eve and used Grok to remove my clothes. I know this because he showed me.

there are a lot of very gross ways people are talking about this, but the most chilling to me is this routine invocation of professional language as if the job of robbing and terrorizing venezuela is just like any other job

I kind of understand the urge to include some qualifying statement about Maduro's fitness for leadership but it's simply not relevant, and adding one has the effect of equivocating on regime change when "done the right way"

BREAKING:

The House Judiciary Committee just released — on New Year's Eve — the 255-page transcript of Jack Smith's closed door deposition.

House Republicans continue their attempts to bury Smith's testimony.

the specific thing that broke everyone, the unforgivable crime he committed, was running against Mittens (correctly) as an uncaring plutocrat

using the 47% tape was deeply unfair
One of Obama's big speech lines was about how there is no red America or blue America, but just the United States of America. The theme of his campaign was hope and change.

That's the campaign they think was too rude? Amazing.
