Support Donations to EAPM help build the future of accessible news.

Here's the sad reality. @equalaccesspublicmedia.org just paid this month's freelance bill for @the-word.news. Without a miracle, without an angel donor, without something happening quickly, by the end of the December 15, we're out of money.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

ICE vs the clergy

This is beautiful. If only my daughter’s classroom could be like yours, but the violence starts with the floors and the lights and it escalates from there.

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

That doesn't mean let up on the pressure, oh no. Just that I cannot, and you cannot, let your sense of purpose depend on Democratic Senators doing the work. They - en masse - will not. Not yet anyway.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Democrats Consider GOP Deal to Reopen Government, With Promise of Later Vote on ACA Subsidies Democrats are considering a Republican offer to reopen the government with a promise of a later vote on extending ACA health-care tax credits.

Democrats are considering a Republican deal to reopen government with a promise of a later vote on extending health-care tax credits—but no guarantee.

One Democrat says it'd amount to "unconditional surrender that abandons the 24 million Americans whose health care premiums are about to double."

My dx journey started with a twitter thread that resonated. The amount of shame I’ve been able to shed as a consequence has been life-changing.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

But he’d be poorer if that is what goes down. And what happens to the stock price when the founder liquidates his holdings?

And Vought! Vought and Miller are the two that have to go most.

Photo of NBC’s exit poll data (from my work laptop, lol) showing Mamdani splitting the straight vote equally with Cuomo, but taking the LGBTQ+ vote by more than 5:1. Even though the LGBTQ+ slice is only 14% of the population, they were a LANDSLIDE in his favor.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

This is such a big deal and not getting any play.

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in

Will he get an ankle monitor from ISAC? Turn about and all.

This is a real problem.

Did you see the tore down the east wing to make room for the Epstein ballroom?

What does that mean to you?

This is absurdly bad PR. These are the images that need amplified. If you're online, think strategically about which images need to go viral to tell the story of the horrors of this moment. RT and share the shit out of them.

"Donald Trump and Mike Johnson are engaging in a cover-up to shield people who were involved in raping children."

Rep. Melanie Stansbury

8:3 is more specific:
"The river shall swarm with frogs; they shall come up into your palace, into your bedchamber and your bed, and into the houses of your officials and of your people, and into your ovens and your kneading bowls."

Hoping that Actually Romantic becomes the trans pride anthem of 2025. None of my business, but it jumps out and hit me over the head.

Dems should demand the firing of Vought as a precondition for their votes. A RIF we can all get behind.
