"Nothing Short of a Slaughter": 1 Million Syrians in Aleppo Under Siege with No Hospital, Food

As the United Nations says nearly 1 million Syrians are living under siege and the last remaining hospitals in eastern Aleppo have been destroyed, we speak with Syrian analyst Bassam Haddad and get an update from a physician in touch with medical personnel in Aleppo. Dr. Zaher Sahloul is founder of the American Relief Coalition for Syria and senior adviser and former president of the Syrian American Medical Society. He has visited Aleppo five times since the war began.
Are Trump's Plans to Expand Obama's Surveillance State & Activate Muslim Registry Unconstitutional?

We speak with Hina Shamsi, director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s National Security Project, about President-elect Donald Trump’s potential foreign policy positions, how he could expand Obama’s surveillance state and authorization of military force and reactivate the registry for immigrants from majority-Muslim countries, known as the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System, or NSEERS.

Her recent piece for the Los Angeles Review of Books is headlined "Making White Supremacy Respectable. Again."
It's not just Santa that's stuck up the chimney!

Animals get stuck in the strangest of places and recently we got a call to rescue a 'falcon' that had become stuck in a chimney. It had been there for about three days and, after the homeowner heard scratching noises, had finally been spotted.

Simon rushed to its aid and quickly removed the lost bird from its prison. It was very thin, so Simon decided it should spend 48 hours at the centre to recuperate. Once it had recovered it was released back into the wild once again!
An AR-15 in Every Home: 3D Gun Printer Cody Wilson on Resistance, Trump, the Media, & More
"It doesn't matter what the origins of the Second Amendment were," says Cody Wilson, creator of the first 3D-printed gun and author of the new book, Come and Take It: The Gun Printer's Guide to Thinking Free. "With the internet, we can transform this thing into right to resistance on a global scale. If it's just a fact that the government serves guns now, this is just a point of political life."
Turkey In Reverse
Every year in the United States, almost 300 million turkeys are killed for their flesh. Virtually all spend their entire lives on factory farms and have no federal legal protection. Bred, drugged, and genetically manipulated; turkeys can now weigh close to 30 pounds. A human infant growing at the same rate would weigh 1,500 pounds at 18 weeks of age. It is common for turkeys to die from organ failure before they are even 6 months old, due to their unnatural size.

To keep the birds from killing one another in such stressful, crowded conditions, parts of the turkeys’ toes and beaks are cut off, as are the males’ snoods. Millions of turkeys don’t even make it past the first few weeks of life in a factory farm before succumbing to “starve-out,” a stress-induced condition that causes young birds to simply stop eating.

PFW Quick Hits: Packers in a ‘must win’ in MNF?

Aaron Rodgers and company are in a must win situation against the Philadelphia Eagles in Monday Night Football, this coming Monday. The Green Bay Packers, who are currently in a 4 game skid and spiraling downward, have injuries to blame for the recent losses. As Hub Arkush reports in today’s “PFW Quick Hit” presented by Windy City Wire, the Packers are banged up in their run game and their defense, and could barley finish healthy in their last game against Washington.
