Seattle folks, heads up! (Sidebar: this is a great place to order holiday gifts from. Their advent calendar is FAB.)
Seattle: Our tea house will begin accepting donations on 10/29. We will make weekly dropoffs with Northwest Harvest, but if you are in our area and in need, you are welcome to take directly from the donations bin for yourself as well. We won’t be policing your need.

This is what Jimmy Kimmel said for the Trump admin to threaten to pull ABC’s broadcasting license which ultimately led to his show being ripped from the air “indefinitely.” This is not just chilling, this is the steady march to the state media seen in countries like Russia

Sickening. Every journalist in America should think deeply about the fact that most American politicians are willing to accept and indeed facilitate the murder of our colleagues.

European governments have hired Palantir as well. But they prefer to keep quiet about it, as does the EU Commission.
The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics.
This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

Tonight he was the only Senate Dem to vote to confirm Jared Kushner’s convict dad as ambassador to France.

Prior to the Biden cancer news, the top story on the NYT yesterday was about Project Esther, the Heritage/Trump plan for driving pro-Palestinian voices from every corner of political and civic life.
Interesting how quickly the Pro-Palestinian protests subsided once Kamala lost the election, yet the current administration is helping Israel destroy Gaza.
Weird, huh?
