#onthisday Dec 6, 1917 — the Halifax Explosion: the munitions ship Mont‑Blanc detonated after a collision in the harbour, killing ~2,000, flattening neighborhoods, and transforming disaster relief, urban rebuilding, and maritime safety protocols #MilitaryHistory

OK I’ve put together the list. Shame on all of them: Ford CEO Jim Farley Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa General Motors plant manager John Urbanic National Auto Dealers Association Chairman Tom Castriota Transportation Sec Sean Duffy Deputy transportation Sec Steven Bradbury 1/2

Is it real, or just another example of McSweeney's gift for parody? "I became both heroine and heroin to him. And sometimes, a heron, for when we did bird play.”

Trump to sign Executive Order ending the use of the metric system to describe quantities of cocaine.

The more profane and blasphemous the shitheads running this country, the more they need to brandish their Christian bona fides via the sorts of activities @marisakabas.bsky.social documents here.

Doesn’t this rhetoric sound familiar? In 1947, the U.S. Army released "Don't Be a Sucker" to show how a nation can be divided, reminding Americans that prejudice isn't natural and is created by those who gain from it. Via @builders on IG #Pinks

CONGRATULATIONS #ForeverCanadian volunteers! Elections Alberta just informed me that our Forever Canadian petition is approved! Your hard work and love for Canada paid off! Now, the Premier must do the right thing and call for a vote in the Legislature. www.elections.ab.ca/citizen-init...

Sincerely Canada.

A new mural has appeared in Ternopil, dedicated to children killed in Russia’s attack. The artwork, showing a child shielding her toys from a Russian missile, was created by artist Andriy Yermolenko. He described it as “a cry for help to the global community.”

Must be just peachy to live in a 🇺🇸country where firearm ownership in civilian hands is so widespread. It’s exactly what petulant piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre and his grisly henchmen in the Canadian Coalition for “Firearm Rights” want for 🇨🇦Canada: “Gun Culture”. 🙄 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“The only decent Black Friday sale out there.” — Juan Orlando Hernández

29 November 1929 | A Czech Jew, Tibor Taglicht, was born. As a refugee he went to Norway. He was deported to #Auschwitz with his sister Vera in March 1943. He was selected as able to work. He asked to stay with his younger sister. They were both murdered in a gas chamber.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

“Should we follow the Geneva Conventions?” Pete Hegseth asked in 2024. It’s almost as if there were signs! bsky.app/profile/anna...

Only the British would come out with a show like this, and make it funny and entertaining. And Nish Kumar's surprising skills gives hope to every nerd with aspirations to sporting greatness. youtu.be/4CDBM8pTaPA?...

Ms Krampus nabs some naughty men. Who don't seem even remotely unhappy about it. #Yule #Krampus

TRUMP: If you’re trafficking drugs to the U.S. via the Caribbean I will kill you. ALSO TRUMP: If you’re doing time because you helped traffic 400 tons of cocaine to the U.S. via Honduras you get a “Full and Complete Pardon.” www.justice.gov/archives/opa...

On this day in 1925, Georges Vezina played his final game. He didn't allow a single goal in the first period despite being very sick. He vomited blood in the intermission and came out for the second period but collapsed. He died a few months later of tuberculosis.

Very interesting thread from Thomas Zimmer.

Straight-up sociopath. Asked about a Guard member who’s dead because of his bullshit and it takes him 30 seconds to make it all about how great he is.

This is quite literally HER land. 🤬

CDC website altered at Robert F. Kennedy's behest to reflect his belief that "all events depicted in the film Ghostbusters really happened."

From @mynameisjanice.bsky.social www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

The American mind cannot comprehend the enduring popularity of the Beachcombers

Listen, this administration isn’t “making America great.” It’s targeting our neighbors, tearing families apart, and putting lives on the line. Democrats on Oversight are standing up because this fight isn’t about left or right. It’s about right and wrong. Period.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s. This is the power of vaccines. The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer. Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Kids as young as 3 and 4 years old are being hauled into immigration court in Seattle and read their rights. They’re being told they have the right to an attorney despite having no capacity to hire one or understand what that means. As Rep Jayapal says, that’s not due process… it’s a farce.

Every question headline should end like this “Is Trump’s cognition in decline? Bold, bin-raiding raccoons may have a surprising answer” “Will there be a third WICKED movie? Bold, bin-raiding raccoons may have a surprising answer” “Who will go 1st in the NBA draft? Bold, bin-raiding raccoons” etc

Approximately 15,000 deceased Ukrainian civilians, and 31,000 deceased troop members, would disagree with Witkoff's glowing remarks about Putin.

The Atlantic & Vanity Fair only ever assign RFK Jr profiles to people who want to fuck him because nobody else can stomach the idea of lying to help him. He's an elderly nepobaby on a mission to kill as many children as possible before he dies, to leave the world more plague-ridden than he found it.

All very true

Since 1978, this has been a tradition in our family. We break out a very grainy old yet fiercely protected VHS copy of WKRP Turkey Drop . My mother still loves it 😂😂😂 youtu.be/EgDmPzyEUYA?...

Molly Reilly was the first female Canadian pilot to reach the rank of captain, the first to fly in the Arctic and the first to become a Canadian corporate pilot. In 10,000 hours as a pilot-in-command, she never had a single accident. This is her story. 🧵 1/10

“We are all connected; To each other, biologically. To the earth, chemically. To the rest of the universe atomically.” ― Neil DeGrasse Tyson

Sadly the current right-wing coalition government in Finland has cut the funding for the nation’s “Housing First” success story, & homelessness is now on the rise again. That just reinforces the fact that such programs work, if political ideology doesn’t stand in the way. ysaatio.fi/en/news/home...

Any time corporate executives are in a room together and don't know they're being recorded, the transcript is like: "Christ, I hate our customers. We're agreed that we all hate our customers? Let's lie to the IRS, criminally. Did I mention the Holocaust never happened? Put more lead in our soda."

Gallego to Hegseth: "You will never ever be half the man that Sen. Kelly is. You, sir, are a coward. And the fact that you are following this order from the president shows how big of a coward you are. I can't wait until you are no longer the secretary of defense."

25 November 1938 | French Jewish boy, Henri Herszhorn, was born in Paris. In 1942, he was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection. --- Video about the first two gas chambers created near Auschwitz II-Birkenau: https://youtu.be/Rr6lF75fDmU

The Great Lakes are our greatest asset. We need to be responsible stewards of our lakes and ensure that Michiganders feel the benefits.

So I’ve made it official folks: I’ve filed the paperwork to run for Governor of Alabama. It’s time to remind this state of who we are and what we can accomplish together. #DougForAlabama

Democrats on the Oversight Committee continue to do exceptional work.
