🧵I love White Christmas- kitschy, feel good holiday movie making at its best.

Crosby croons, Danny Kaye silliness, Rosemary Clooney's voice, and... Vera-Ellen whose dancing is as life affirming now to watch as it must have been 71 years ago!

I'll take it but it's only fair that in exchange Stephen Miller has to spend a night at CECOT
I'd be delighted to have a hairstylist or a youth soccer coach visit for a night

Trump has revoked legal status for at least 1.6 million immigrants over the past year by cancelling programs like TPS and student visas.

Remember: these are people who entered the country legally.

Trump never cared about “legal immigration" — just inflicting cruelty.

I just wrote an article about this and decided not to publish it yet. It is in the DOJ files (file got renamed after originally published and taken down. It’s online now). But too many unknowns about whether the letter itself is real or not. Some additional info though:
DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

to add to the Jake Paul schadenfreude, Andrew Tate also lost a fight to some reality TV influencer. most analysis of the fight I've read described his opponent as deeply untalented but Andrew lost anyway. Tate's endurance was awful and he was gassed after the first round.

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:

Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.

The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

A story I found about Haiti:

In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."

Last night I learned about Violet Club, the UK's "Megaton" (more like 400 KT) FISSION (not thermonuclear) bomb.

HFS guys, this thing was the worst idea ever.

I can't believe I didn't know about it, and now I'm SO curious about it....

Actually, it was never a viable military target. It was a legitimate target for boarding, perhaps, not destruction. But after it was partly sunk, no, it was not a legitimate target.

I know hypocrisy is a feature not a bug in this era but if the Chinese government said it had intel (which they refused to show or verify) on U.S. citizen criminals who were doing things that negatively impacted Chinese citizens so they did some targeted strikes on or right off american soil…
It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.

But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.

The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

This is unbecoming of a mayor to be honest. He should not be doing photo ops with “Catholic” Charities he should be doing actual New York mayor elect work like further militarizing the police in Queen or getting blackmailed by Tom Homan on live tv
