This brief article somehow managed to be both heartbreaking and uplifting in ways I didn’t expect. At all.

Admiral James Stavridis (Ret.) said that if the people in the water had been his Navy SEALs, he would have wanted them to be given the chance to surrender.

Wore green for @altcdc.altgov.info on @cnn.com- a few comments I made- have Secretary, CDC political leaders testify about vaccine access and CDC oversight; scientific priorities should be led by careers not a realtor and aviation attorney; need to get accurate advice from AAP and other orgs now

Article II of the Constitution does not grant the President of the United States inherent authority to declare whoever he wants to be part of a foreign terrorist organization and to execute them without any process.

Funny how it's not been triggered, by like hairs, seemingly everywhere lately. 🤔

Below is a link to the great article by Phil Klay that Tom Nichols and Alex Witt are discussing. @philklay.bsky.social @radiofreetom.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/o...

Tom Nichols: “This ongoing game show of ‘strike a boat every day’ […] is making us into worse people — every one of us, whether we’re in uniform or just ordinary citizens. It is spiritually and morally corrosive on every level.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social

There’s been a cascading series of coups in West Africa and the Sahel. We’ve got a massive genocide/civil war in Sudan, following a massive civil war in Ethiopia. There was an invasion of DR Congo by “little green men” from Rwanda.

t.co/4KifWvwOSD Gift article These people were one step away from citizenship. Did everything right. We're ready to swear their oath to the US Constitution. Many have served. They were denied. So it isn't really about being legal or doing it the right way is it????

www.cbsnews.com/news/afghan-... Do you know what will happen to these women now that Trump has threatened removing protected status?

Here’s a great article describing how, before the vaccine, Alaska Natives had some of the highest rates of liver cancer in the world, and the hepatitis B vaccine virtually eliminated the cancer. www.adn.com/alaska-news/...

The United States promises that the agreements on Ukraine reached by Trump will be enforced like concrete, Putin's aide Ushakov said. "Right now, we are not talking about some ceasefire, but about the prospects for a long-term settlement — that’s what’s important."

Russians out!! Lithuanian has revoked the residence permits of 145 Russians due to their trips to Russia and Belarus 👍

Once the debate centers on whether the 2nd strike was legal, the first 21 strikes have been accepted as baseline. But the murder of the two survivors doesn’t make the other 21 any more legal. Selective outrage, not silence, is how authoritarianism becomes normalized @tadstoermer.bsky.social

It’s a joke on many levels. It craps on what has made America special, and at the same time is meaningless and impossible to implement. The is no strategic purpose to the Administration. Trump just does whatever idiotic and corrupt thing crosses his addled mind.

It’s all just so gross. So stupid. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Wolves: “Why now is the perfect time to build your house out of straw”

Pipe bomber confusion: At about 22:10, FBI’s Dan Bongino twice refers to “tip” that came in, despite AG Bondi saying there was no tip. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKU_...

A win! The Institute of Museum and Library Services (the federal agency that supports the nation’s libraries) has reinstated thousands of grants that had been canceled by the Trump administration, after a federal judge ruled the executive order mandating those cuts was unlawful.

The lack of morals and education is a deadly combination coming to roost in America right now.

Rep. Grijalva says she was pepper-sprayed by ICE

One of the stated aims of the new US security strategy is “cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory within European nations.” An absolute betrayal of all of our European allies to benefit Trump, Russia and a handful of MAGA friendly billionaires. Shameful!

www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/w... Gift article As Washington made combating fentanyl a priority, cocaine trafficking has surged. Nowhere have the ripples been felt like in Ecuador, where criminal groups have run rampant.

The best way to prevent hepatitis B? With the #HepatitisB vaccine. The safety of the vaccine has been studied extensively over several decades and is recommended for all infants, unvaccinated children, adolescents, and adults. #HepB Still have questions? doh.wa.gov/you-and-your...

The Blaze claimed they "adhered to professional journalistic standards" in the now-retracted pipe bomber story. But they did not appear to have ever contacted the woman they accused of a major crime, before or after publication, which is the most basic journalistic standard that exists.

Bongino saying the quiet--and cynical--part out loud. In other words: I was making money shoveling conspiracy bullshit without having any facts and conning my audience to make a buck. After I leave the FBI, I will get back to that. What a confession.

Our kids were little, and we lived in Malaysia, when current HepB vax approved in 1986. Our doctor in KL told us how great it was for our kids to get this protection so early in life. I got my shot too. Deb was then very sick w HepA, from trip through China. Got her shot later This ruling is evil

god take them all away forever !

Colorado’s Democratic secretary of state vehemently rejected the DOJ’s unprecedented request for her state’s unredacted, private voter data, asserting she would not help Trump “hurt the American people.”

New from 404 Media: DHS’s immigrant-hunting app just got removed from the Google Play Store. Let’s local cops do facial recognition on people, app says to contact ICE or not. I’m told Google workers took issue with app in an internal report. We revealed app in Nov www.404media.co/dhss-immigra...

The U.S. Supreme Court: "ICE can racially profile people it arrests." Also, the U.S. Supreme Court: "Texas can disenfranchise voters based on race." Can we all agree that we currently have a white supremacist Supreme Court?
