'Twas the night before Christmas, when amongst some in the House
Sedition was stirring! The Trumpists did grouse!
The stimulus was hung up, a humanitarian nightmare,
No hopes that relief soon would be there;

White House staff were peddling petty hatreds;
While visions of jack-boots danced in their heads;
And Nancy in her 'kerchief, and McConnell in his cap,
Had just settled their brains for a long winter's nap,

When on the South Lawn there arose such a clatter,
Donald sprang from his bed to see what’s the matter.
Away to the window his orange flesh did splash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

1/ Friends, by now you have likely seen the news that Paul Manafort and Roger Stone have been pardoned, along with other crooks and cowards. I just want to share some thoughts, particularly for those of you who put so much effort into making sure they were held to account.

2/ These two men are traitors. They spent decades working against democracy and the rule of law only to come together in 2016 to collaborate with Russian intelligence to elect Donald Trump.

3/ To all of you who worked so hard for so many years to hold them to account- to demand an independent investigation, to defend the Mueller investigation from political interference, to denounce the Attorney General who swept its findings under the rug...

@NAICobservatory

1/ In 2019, I had the chance to visit Arecibo @NAICobservatory, a historic radio telescope built into the Puerto Rican forest, with my family. I am very sad to hear it has collapsed- this report from @nell_sci_NPR sums up why it is such a loss. npr.org/2020/12/01/940…

2/ The telescope was incredible to see- a really massive scientific instrument seemingly in the middle of nowhere.

3/ And the Visitor's Center was great for the kids- especially the Puerto Rican school children who came tto visit.

The Facebook @OversightBoard has announced its first six "cases". Five of the six have something in common- they were referred by users, and they all deal with images posted with an intent other than what the image itself contains, per the users. oversightboard.com/news/719406882…

This Black Friday, a global coalition is holding Amazon to account | Casper Gelderblom says #MakeAmazonPay theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

"From public investments in our digital infrastructure to taxpayers’ subsidies from our governments, Amazon’s success is premised on the work and wealth of the societies from which it extracts."

"But instead of paying back to society, Amazon has starved states of tax revenue, bullied local governments, squeezed small businesses, and flagrantly disrespected people’s privacy and data rights."

@kevinroose

Facebook developed but did not implement tools for reducing disinformation and "hate bait" content because it determined the measures mostly impacted right wing users and publishers, reducing engagement, report @kevinroose, @MikeIsaac and @sheeraf: nytimes.com/2020/11/24/tec…

Extraordinary.
