Task for today: Looking over my donations for the year to make sure I didn't miss anything.
And I just made a donation to the Associated Press (whose reporting I read all the time) — the ones who stood up to Trump and said it's the Gulf of Mexico, not the Gulf of America.
And its stylebook hasn't back down on the words it uses regarding immigration:
"Except in direct quotations essential to the story, use illegal only to refer to an action, not a person: illegal immigration, but not illegal immigrant.
Acceptable variations include living in or entering a country illegally or without legal permission. For people: immigrants lacking permanent legal status.
"Do not use the terms alien, unauthorized immigrant, irregular migrant, an illegal, illegals or undocumented (except when quoting people or government documents that use these terms). Many immigrants have some sort of documents, but not the necessary ones."

New today from Francesca D'Annunzio: “This moment calls for compassion and meaningful immigration reform that prioritizes saving lives. The future of humanity depends on our response.”

This week's net.wars, "The censorship-industrial complex", ponders the Oscars' move to YouTube; watches Waymos freeze in San Francisco's power outage; and wonders why bar *those* five individuals and NGOs from the US: https://netwars.pelicancrossing.net/2025/12/26/the-censorship-industrial-complex/. #NetWars #censorship #uspol
USA verhängen Einreiseverbot u.a. gegen zwei Deutsche die sich gegen Hass im Internet engagieren
Außenminister Rubio schreibt unter der Überschrift "Announcement of Actions to Combat the Global Censorship-Industrial Complex" folgendes
"Diese radikalen Aktivisten und als Waffen eingesetzten NGOs haben die Zensurmaßnahmen ausländischer Staaten vorangetrieben – in jedem Fall gegen amerikanische Redner und amerikanische Unternehmen."
Betroffen sind:
- Josephine Ballon and Anna-Lena von Hodenberg, leaders of HateAid, a German organization;
-Clare Melford, who runs the Global Disinformation Index;
-former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton, who was responsible for digital affairs.
- Imran Ahmed, chief executive of the Centre for Countering Digital Hate;
Nach der Attacke durch die GLS-Bank auf linke Strukturen in Gestalt der Kündigung von Bankkonten, folgt nun einen weitere Maßnahme des Versuchs der Einschüchterung, wobei Einreiseverbote mutmaßlich nur der erste Sdhritt sein dürften. Dass die USA auch ehemalige und politisch gut vernetzte EU-Kommissare ins Visier nehmen, sollte allen klar machen, dass die US-Regierung jede und jedem mit Maßnahmen überziehen kann und wird, derer sie namhafr wird.
Die AfD baut ihre US-Kontakte aus und es darf unterstellt werden, dass die AfD willige Zulieferin von weiteren Namenslisten ist, von Personen die sie gerne sanktioniert sähe.

A former 'South Park' writer created a parody website for Trump Kennedy Center after snagging the domain names. Logo has redacted Epstein file snippets
"Welcome to TrumpKennedyCenter.org
A national cultural center dedicated to legacy, loyalty, and the careful presentation of history.
Here, tradition is preserved, narratives are curated, and performances are elevated beyond mere art. What is remembered matters. What is omitted matters more.
We invite you to experience culture as authority, pageantry as truth, and excellence as defined by those in power." #USPol

Edit to clarify it was one former writer, add link. Sorry.

We need one more Biden misstep calling Republicans Drag Queens. He's so close he doesn't even realize his power.

Here is a video from a different angle on the murder on Renee Good
If the US of A really thinks these people are terrorists, they are freaking clueless
The true terrorists are ICE 'agents' and the White House Cartel
The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 in 2024.
In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

Kamala Harris wouldn't be invading other countries and kidnapping their leaders so people would stop asking if she had sex with an underage girl.
"We knew something was coming...
More than a week ago, Aure Free Press posted that Trump will create a diversionary tactic to deflect his actions regarding the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Unfortunately, we didn't think Trump would resort to kidnapping another country's leader and bombing the large city of Caracas, Venezuela"

This is just bullshit.
Go after China you fucking bullies.
Go after Russia. Go after Saudi Arabia...
Cowards.
The two sides of my sign for the protest this afternoon. Not the prettiest sign, but the message is clear.
A corrupt criminal organization called #FIFA gave a so called "bullshit peace price" to a fascist dictator who basically start an illegal war with another country practically within the same month
There is no reason not to complain about this 🤷
The US SENATE will have two new Black female senators:
Democrats Angela Alsobrooks of Maryland and
Lisa Blunt Rochester of Delaware!

"Pres Trump just fired:
• 90 physicians
• 350 nurses
• at least 25 nurse practitioners
• nearly 20 dentists
• 85+ pharmacists
• 45 lab techs
Employed by the Indian Health Svc to provide HC. This is going to have dangerous consequences for our Indigenous brothers & sisters."

"Mr. Trump has not yet offered a coherent explanation for his actions in Venezuela."
That brain-addled d-bag has not yet offered a coherent sentence during his entire presidency.
So I'll offer a coherent explanation for him: He bombed and destabilized a country to distract from his (and his friends') involvement in the Epstein files.
I say turnabout is fair play, and eagerly await New Zealand or Canada kidnapping T-bag and running our country until a better leader can be elected.
