PSA: If you’re having people over for Thanksgiving CLEAN YOUR BATHROOMS. From top to bottom! Specifically clean under your toilet seats. I know for a fact some of y’all don’t be cleaning the bottom of your toilet seats the way you should and it’s nasty. #thanksgiving

They’re all just looting the treasury now

There is a sickness in a country where grown adults line up to debate the “degree” of a child’s suffering. Where boys and girls who were used and bought and traded are spoken of like loopholes instead of human beings. #epsteinfiles #trump #maga #republicans

Leaked messages from Young Republican leaders show them joking about gassing Democrats, calling Black people “monkeys,” mocking Jews, and laughing about rape. These are the people the GOP is grooming for power.

It’s amazing how all the reporting is just memory-holing this part

A policy expert described Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s push in favor of private schools as a “great American heist,” funneling money from public schools: “It’s a strategic theft of the future of our country, our kids and our democracy.” By @megomatz.bsky.social & @jsmithrichards.bsky.social

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Here’s video of the incident

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in. Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators. The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

I realized a few years ago lawns were a scam, but this lays out how deep it really goes. Just one of many things Americans have been conditioned to believe is ‘normal’ and ‘the right way to live.’ #Sustainability #EcoFriendly #ClimateCrisis #Environment

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

BREAKING: Judge William Young, a Reagan appointee, delivers the most scathing legal rebuke of the Trump era, ruling that Trump and his cabinet illegally targeted pro-Palestinian students for deportation to "strike fear" into First Amendment protesters. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Soooo he wants on troops to be war criminals?

I call this piece: Well…let’s see how we say that: When grown man baby twies to wead a word just a wittle too far past his 4th gwade weading wevel. #tylenol #acetaminophen #Trump #1stroundknockout

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

I wish people (whispers: especially white people) hated white supremacy as much as they love football. #ThisIsAmerica www.splcenter.org/resources/re...

So I learned something new today: 50% of the unhoused population has spent time in foster care. #unhoused #fostercare #adoption

"I was at the bottom of my class. I started doing heroin, and I went to the top of my class. Suddenly I could sit still and I could read." We’re not doctors but it kinda seem like this should’ve been disqualifying 🤷🏻‍♂️

I spent two hours listening to four of the right's leading thinkers debate topics such as: -should Black men in Baltimore be indentured to churches? -should Ron DeSantis create a youth militant organization in Florida? -is the American public crying out for purges? www.vox.com/on-the-right...

The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?

Republicans in Wisconsin received a blow on Friday, as arch-conservative state Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley announced she will not seek re-election next year, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Terry Moran, a broadcast journalist who was fired from ABC News in June after posting a message on X referring to top White House adviser Stephen Miller as a "world-class hater," blasted his old employer this week for "failing the American people.

Trump wants to make the military takeovers scary to stop resistance but the truth is the military is not large enough to control all the major cities if there is mass resistance. They'd need 600k troops at a minimum and the national guard only has ~336k. They can't actually hold cities if we resist.

This was one of the best movies I’ve seen all year! It was so cool, fun, interesting, and different. I can’t believe they wasted it on a streaming release. You can’t tell me this wouldn’t have been profitable at the theaters. #FreakyTales

Meet Shakira. Ten years ago, she was living in a shelter with her three kids, working at a non-union hotel. Now she's a member of HTC. Unions are how working people can build a dignified life. But in a city as expensive as ours, they need local government on their side.

A United States Senate investigation has identified more than 500 credible reports of human rights abuses in US immigration detention since January, including alarming allegations of mistreatment of pregnant women and children.

🇺🇸 National Guard soldier speaks out: “I swore an oath to defend our constitution… seeking refuge is not an act of violence. Locking people up for it is.”

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Imagine the reaction from Republicans if Obama or Biden “opened up Alaska’s natural resources” to a foreign adversary like Putin. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

🧵 [1/7] 📖 Book Review: Pandora by Anne Rice ⭐️ 8.08/10 Part of New Tales of the Vampires, Pandora technically sits outside The Vampire Chronicles, but it’s an amazing addition to the mythos. #BookSky #Books #BookReview #AnneRice #Pandora

Asher Watkins had been tracking a cape buffalo for the kill when the animal instead turned its attack on the hunter.

NEW: Amid concerns about the stability of the agency, records show nearly 40% of the doctors offered jobs at the VA from January through March of this year turned them down — quadruple the rate of rejections for the same period a year earlier.

🧵 [1/14] 📖 Book Review: Negroes with Guns by Robert F. Williams ⭐️ Rating: 9.61/10 #BookSky #Books #BookReview #NegroeswithGuns

At least this administration has it's priorities straight. I mean fuck healthcare, affordable housing, infrastructure, increasing energy output, etc. P.S. Trump's still a convicted fraudster, racist, rapist and pedo who was BFFs with Epstein. #NASA #Trump #Epstein

NEW: A Miami jury has ordered Tesla to pay up to $243 million after finding that the Tesla vehicle had a “defect.” It's the first time Tesla has been found liable in an Autopilot-related crash.

Elon Musk retweeted a post saying that women were "built to be traded" like property.

It’s bad. REALLY bad.

GOP shuts down doing work for the American people because they're scared about what is going to come out with the Epstein Files

🧵 [1/7] 📖 Book Review: The Right to Sex: Feminism in the 21st Century by Amia Srinivasan ⭐️ Rating: 9.25/10 #books #Skybooks #BookReview #TheRighttoSex #AmiaSrinivasan

SCOOP: As Trump takes a beating from his own MAGA crowd for his handling of the case of Jeffrey Epstein, his State Department pulled a surprising move: It decimated its office combating human trafficking. “Everyone was caught off guard."

Can we talk about the literal library of books Lois Lane had in her apartment? The moment I saw it, I got jealous—and now I’m dying to know exactly which books were in her collection. #Superman #LoisLane #BookSky #Books

🧵 [1/7] 📖 Book Review: Blackwood Farm by Anne Rice ⭐️ Rating: 1.43/10 I thought the Vampire Chronicles was back on track. Nope. I hated this book. Unless the later books somehow make it matter, this is an easy skip. #BookSky #BookReview #AnneRice #VampireChronicles

🧵[1/5] 📖 Book Review: Blood and Gold by Anne Rice ⭐️ 8.68/10 This exactly what this series needed. Told through Marius’s voice, it’s his 2,000-year autobiography — from Roman nobleman to one of the oldest vampires alive — filling in so many gaps left by the earlier books. #booksky #bookreview

Little girls were swept away by the dozens & killed by the flood while at summer camp & without FEMA FUNDING bedridden & disabled American are going to die from natural disasters they could have been rescued from & warned against. I have never seen a more incompetent government ever. It’s insane.

🧵 [1/8] 📚 Merrick by Anne Rice ⭐️ Book Rating: 7.89/10 After being let down by The Vampire Armand, I took a 5-month break from The Vampire Chronicles. Merrick was my first book back—and I wasn’t sure what to expect. #booksky #bookreview #annerice #thevampirechronicles #interviewwiththevampire

Post 1/3 📚 "Call Us What We Carry" by Amanda Gorman 📖 Book Rating: 5/10 Let me start by saying: I love Amanda Gorman. Her public/performance poetry has deeply moved me in the past. That said, this book just wasn’t for me — and that’s okay. #BookSky #BookReview #AmandaGorman

I recently finished Laws of Depravity by Eriq La Salle. Some of you might remember him from Coming to America or E.R. My cousin mentioned her friend had written a book, but what she didn’t mention was that her friend is literally Dr. Benton! I’d rate it a solid 8.12/10. #booksky

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.
