$35,000 will help us get us through the year and finish our sixth season strong. We’ve produced incredible episodes so far, with guests like Bernie Sanders, Naomi Klein and Mahmoud Khalil! But we have more work to do. Please visit lauraflanders.org/donate during these final hours of Giving Tuesday.

If he hadn’t resigned early, Admiral Alvin Halsey would have been dealing with Hegseth as the commander in charge of US Southern Command. His resignation takes effect Dec 12th. I can not wait to hear what he has to say. #hegseth

In Manhattan, ICE operations are about as subtle as Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. In the woods and worn roads of rural Lake County, Michigan, I drove through a completely different kind of enforcement scene without even knowing it — and that’s no accident. @thenyic.bsky.social
A Tale of Two ICEs
I was near two ICE operations this Thanksgiving. One I saw, the other I didn’t.

Mark Kelly says Pete Hegseth's reported double tap strike on a boat "seems to" be a war crime, and adds, "if what has been reported is accurate, I've got serious concerns about anybody in that chain of command stepping over a line that they should never step over. We are not Russia. We are not Iraq"

NYPD McCarthy grabs someone off the street and uses several cops to bring him down, presumably for being in the road during dispersal order but he was clearly in the crosswalk.
Another person detained states being on the sidewalk.

Will the Epstein shit fire up attention to our Indigenous murdered and missing and who knows, maybe raped and stolen Africans too? Not if the commercial media can keep us focused on the partisan celebrity gotcha game. Read in full on Substack.

Even when misogynist abuse is in the news, murdered and missing indigenous women and girls are forgotten. Justice in America demands more than a few high-profile perp walks. open.substack.com/pub/laurafla...

The New York Times obit for Alice Wong doesn’t mention Covid or Gaza
It ignores two of her biggest causes because of political bias
Alice fought tirelessly for Covid mitigations
She fought for the people of Gaza
She rightfully reminded us that the genocide in Gaza is a disability justice issue

Enough punditry from patriarchs. Talk to, listen to, hear from survivors. There are thousands to choose from, or run this PSA. A lot.
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.
