2026 already delivering
Mayor Mamdani has nullified every executive order issued by Eric Adams after he struck his corrupt bargain with Trump to secure dismissal of the indictment against him.

I am a broken record but: this will require Supreme Court reform. There is no chance the John Roberts Six allow prosecutions of Trump officials to stand.

Special prosecutors on day 1. Everyone in this administration who broke laws— including every ICE agent who ever kidnapped anyone— must go to prison. All of Epstein’s buddies prosecuted too, Democrat or Republican doesn’t matter.

Has to be this way or this country won’t survive.
No but really my fear is that the next democrat in the White House will be conciliatory and deliberate when what we need is a chainsaw and some sage.

I don't think anyone can confidently tell me what the political effects of purposely throwing millions of the hardest-working Americans off their insurance while giving Elon Musk another tax cut will be. Occupy with millions of older freelancers practiced in the art of getting checks?

Do other countries have this weird notion that you’re not a “real” representative of the nation if you live in an urban center? Like do the French say Parisians aren’t really French? Are you considered not a real German if you live in Berlin? Or is this mainly a weird American thing?

As of today, I am a FULL professor. I do not care much for occupational status markers. Still, it is not lost on me that only 2% of full professors are Black women. This goes beyond personal accomplishment. It is a responsibility to do as much as I can for others. That is exactly what I aim to do.

As yes. John Roberts, who gave Trump immunity for ALL official acts, opens his year end summary with musings about Thomas Paine, an "immigrant" who arrived about 250 years ago (one of the good kinds as per rightwing voices like JD Vance – white and European, not enslaved and black.)

In 2026 you should eat more chickpeas because they're good and filling and cheap as hell and probably better for you than shovels full of red meat (I am a meat eater and take no pleasure in saying this)

The first KV-1 tank was finished at the Chelyabinsk Tractor Factory #OTD in 1940. A year later, the Kirov factory would be moved here from Leningrad to create the Chelyabinsk Kirov Factory, the USSR's largest producer of heavy tanks. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

They're shuttering FEMA!!!
One last fucked up 2025 scoop—FEMA has begun issuing termination notices to CORE staff (appointed under the Stafford Act, ordinarily extended for 2 years) effective Jan 2, agency sources tell me. Sr leadership was asked if they could be given more notice but Acting Administrator Karen Evans said no.
