This is Texas AG Ken Paxton saying he’ll throw a woman’s doctors in prison for life if they perform a *court-granted* abortion on a *nonviable* pregnancy that risks causing her permanent infertility and death.

Still think the GOP is pro-life?

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

On pg. 48 of its gag order opinion, the DC Circuit drops this gem. They're discussing Trump's idea that the gag order should be suspended in the months leading up to the election. Not necessary, the court say, the trial will be over long before the election takes place.

@JohnTeufelNYC @protest_nyc One of the absolute most egregious actions by police in that entire summer, which is REALLY saying something

[Ashley  @ashleydixon]

@JohnTeufelNYC @1SnoozyQ How can the police commissioner overturn a verdict found by jury trial? That doesn’t sound right…

[john teufel @JohnTeufelNYC]

SCOOP: Data released quietly by NYC indicates that NYPD officers Andrey Samusev and Daniel Alvarez will face no discipline for driving their car into protestors in Park Slope in 2020. Alvarez was *found guilty* at trial. The Commissioner has overturned that verdict.

I wish I was able to communicate the depression I feel when I see things like the star of David literally seared into Gazan ground by tans. Menorahs raised over ethnically-cleansed towns like a victorious flag. I feel like I'm watching something sacred being irrevocably warped.

[Séamus Malekafzali @Seamus_Malek]

Not sure if it is my place to comment on the usage of Jewish symbols as a non-Jew, but this feels like such a perversity. The IDF is desecrating symbols like the star of David and the menorah by making them into fascistic emblems for their own usage. Disgraceful.

[Gothamist @Gothamist]

SantaCon boasts on its site that it has raised over “$1.1 million for charitable causes.” Organizers have defended against public pushback by saying the event is a charity fundraiser.

Less than 1/5 of that money has gone to registered nonprofits.

Removing books on slavery from plantation gift shops.

PLANTATION gift shops.

Stay safe out there folks. This is a PSA.

Last night I called a Lyft ride. It was a long ride, but I talked to the driver before hand, and recommended the proper route.

I live in downtown Cincinnati. Immediately, he drives into KY. My destination was in Ohio.

The @washingtonpost guild is striking Thursday & asks people to not engage w/ any WaPo content:

“On Dec. 7, we ask you to respect our walkout by not crossing the picket line: For 24 hours, please do not engage with any Post content." print + online news stories, podcasts, etc.

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

The death rate in Gaza is at a historic high, with thousands of children killed in just a few weeks.
Demanding an end to this inexcusable violence is a question of basic humanity. Silence is complicity. You cannot be silent in an unfolding genocide.

The internet tracked down the writers of a song from a 1998 X Files episode that people have apparently been trying to figure out SINCE 1998 and this is the only thing the internet should ever be used for, because it’s glorious.

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

Republicans want to talk about crime? Their former president and leading candidate is facing 91 state and federal felony charges. Where is your outrage at his attempts to overthrow our democracy? The hypocrisy is staggering.

@crew Murray: [The Constitution] has no army. No police force.
Olson: § 3 is our Constitution’s self-defense mechanism. Those who took an oath, then betrayed that sacred duty by engaging in insurrection cannot again be entrusted with public office.
