#Baltimore! An adorable mom/kitten duo is looking for a home for the holidays: Pinky (mom, 18 mos.) & Piglet (kitten, 7 mos.) were dumped in an alley in SW Baltimore, along with two other kittens (already adopted). They are super bonded & love to cuddle. Only thing better than 1 cat is 2 cats! 😍

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII. One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing. The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

Which is more likely, Eric? That Harvard suddenly became more moderate just when you arrived to teach a seminar, as you seem to claim, or that it was never the radical right-bashing bastion you believed it was because you were woefully misinformed?

The person who helped locate the Brown shooter is an immigrant. The person in Sydney who tackled one of the shooters is Muslim. Sometimes the people who are most willing to help others are from communities that know first-hand how much hatred threatens the values we need to live together.

In incident after incident, experts said, immigration and Border Patrol agents routinely took actions that not only infuriated civil libertarians and everyday residents but broke urban policing protocols meant to limit danger for suspects, protesters, passersby and even officers themselves.

We got Weird Al out here singing Killing In The Name, the time for moderation is over

some of the best early career scientists doing pandemic prevention work no one else is — defunded, just a couple years after tens of millions died from a pandemic.

I can’t promise that this is the first time a Canadian publisher of a beloved children’s book series has publicly condemned the bloodthirsty US secretary of defense’s use of its imagery to smirkingly defend heinous war crimes. I mean who can say.

"There are costs to performatively deploying members of the military—one of which is the risk of endangering them" From @juliettekayyem.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Sarah Becktrom died for Donald Trump's vanity. As demonstration to his power. To his ego. She signed up to serve her country. Not that.

“Surveillance tools justified for one purpose inevitably expand to others. Immigrant or not, this expansion should horrify everyone as ICE and CBP continue their campaign of indiscriminate violence in yet more American cities.”

A depraved and decadent Trump WH dinner for MBS was a stunning low for an American ruling class that's stopped pretending to carry a moral compass It was really a celebration of death - of democracy, of an overheating planet, and ultimately themselves. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ceos...

I can’t quite put it into words, but Trump praising Mamdani on the same day that MTG resigns in opposition to “big Tech, big Pharma, the war complex and big donors” feels like a harbinger of realignment. There is a political earthquake trembling beneath the surface waiting to break through.

Well, here’s how I spent my afternoon… scaling a fence to get in a vacant house’s jungle/dump of a yard to rescue this little guy, who’d yelling his head off for two days. His sibling is on the second floor of the house and mom gets in/out through a missing window. Think this guy fell out!

I love him. “The first time I caught up to [ICE], I could tell that they already knew who I was. They had seen me before, so they thought they were just going to speed away. I was like, ‘Ha ha, bitches, I got a new scooter!’”

Hello Baltimore friends, please help me find a home for this big lovable squish of a former tomcat! He's sweet, gentle and quiet and was definitely not made for these streets. www.petfinder.com/cat/bingo-79...

I can no longer follow the plot of this show. I suspect the writers and actors can’t either. I don’t think they have a show runner.

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.

Pope Leo absolutely cooking

I do not want to “Do my own research.” I want to pay trained accredited experts to do the research, trained accredited experts to report on findings, and trained accredited experts to make policy based on them. I am busy af with my own job, I don’t need to do eight zillion more.

Baltimore folks, what the heck has happened with parking enforcement? I’ve reported numerous abandoned cars over the last month or two where NOTHING happens with the request for weeks.

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

DEVELOPING: The DOJs own data, provided as part of an ongoing lawsuit, appeared to show only about 2.5% of 614 people arrested by ICE on immigration violations in the Chicago area before Oct. 7 had criminal histories Story here: www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/14/o...

"You know us...So please trust us now when we say that what is happening in the Chicago area is wrong." Powerful letter from retired Chicago broadcast journalists about what ICE/CBP is doing to our city: "it is terror" www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/13/l...

A Black Hawk helicopter. SWAT teams repelling to the roof. 300 agents. Flash-bang grenades. A TV crew. “It’s 20,000 of them running through my house like we got Saddam Hussein in the closet." For all that, fed prosecutors filed no criminal charges against anyone who was arrested. Stunning report.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

BREAKING: Mark Wolf, appointed to the federal bench by Ronald Reagan, writes that he is resigning as a judge to have the freedom to speak out against the president's assault on the rule of law. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Trump’s solution to the affordability crisis is to just tell us that things are affordable

"The Democratic sweep of gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey and public service commissioner races in Georgia offers an early glimpse of what could be a sleeper issue in the 2026 midterm elections: the politics of AI infrastructure."

man, it sure looks like republicans are using threat of federal government force to try and silence journalists

This thread makes a point I find myself coming to often these days. It's hard to make this point in a way that doesn't sound like a threat, but it's just a fact that for centuries the wealthy in America worried that the mob would come get them and did all they could to avoid that fate.

There are more of us than there are of them. Thank you for a truly historic day of peaceful protests across America. #NoKings

Federal officials telling social media companies to take down posts was supposedly a free speech crisis. It’s not even really hypocrisy, since the right was lying about much of it. And this isn’t misinformation, foreign influence ops, or public health, just 1A-protected speech the govt doesn’t like.

A friend ran the Chicago marathon today and said he couldn’t count the number of FUCK ICE signs along the way.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation Depraved. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Weird how Antifa never asks me for money. Everyone else does, but Antifa is very quiet.

In unrelated news, here's @juliesulabor.bsky.social writing for @msnbc.com about how Amazon mistreats its package handlers and delivery drivers: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

Right-wing fitness content has dominated the manosphere for years. Leftist gym influencers have taken notice—with some even being paid thousands of dollars to counter it. www.wired.com/story/as-the...

Please stop fighting with people by quoting them. It’s unseemly and an absolute fucking bore.
