During the holiday season, we all want to spend time with our loved ones.
And yet, just two months after buying Walgreens for $10 billion, the private equity firm Sycamore Partners stripped hourly workers of paid vacation, including Christmas and New Year’s Day.
Shameful.

a really beautiful article. It’s not just about ice skating, but about a community space, a place where individuals are supported, where groups come together, where people are people. What struck me as well was the attention to little bits of lives outside the rink and how the rink connects.
Last month, @outsidemag.bsky.social sent me to spend 14 hours in a suburban ice rink, learning the stories of everyone I met. Why do they skate? I asked. To feel free, they told me. To feel God. To forget, for a minute, what they've done.
What I Learned After Spending 14 Hours at a Suburban Ice Rink
A full day inside a suburban rink revealed how one place can hold ambition, grief, faith, and escape—sometimes all at once.

very specific to DC complaint here but when trump is threatening to take over the city's historically significant public golf courses so he can privatize them and make them another getaway for the 1% i don't think going "well maybe they shouldnt be golf courses to begin with" is helpful or realistic

Yes, CECOT is a concentration camp in the guise of a prison. The Venezuelans were the first people to *ever* be released from CECOT since Bukele opened the prison in January 2023. Seriously. The first.
These are concentration camps. No other way to describe them. Truly horrific, and none of it surprising in the least.
30 minutes. Some deportees described sexual assault. Detainee describes the guard sexually assaulting most detainees. Lights left on all day. Prisoners not given clean water.
Now the DHS tour. Nobody spoke to the detainees. Noem's video was in a different area of the prison.

“The United States of America had boats in Greenland in 1725,” said President Goodbrain
Trump: We need Greenland for national protection. They have a very small population. They say Denmark, but Denmark has no military protection. They say that Denmark was there 300 years ago with a boat—well, we were there with boats too I’m sure.

The New York Times investigated 346 people who donated at least $250,000 to Trump and found that more than half of them (197) have received pardons, jobs, government contracts, special treatment, or favors.

Well into his second term, the president and his allies have continued aggressively raising money. Many donors have interests before his administration, The Times found.

Fun fact: It’s easy to keep premiums low when you only have to insure healthy people.
LANKFORD: In 2010, before Obamacare kicked in, the normal healthcare premium was $215.
HUNT: Right. But insurance companies could refuse to cover you for a preexisting condition
LANKFORD: That's true.

Kristen Welker will be "interviewing" Todd Blanche on MTP tomorrow.
Do you think she'll ask why Ghislaine got moved and has a puppy?
Will she ask why Blanche ordered the kidnapping of Ras Baraka?
Will she ask about Trump's witch hunt against Comey and James?
