Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes. If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Depressingly well-made point.

Trump has decided to exempt coal used in steelmaking from Clean Air Act rules for the next two years. He issued a proclamation allowing coke oven facilities to sidestep existing limits on toxic emissions including mercury, formaldehyde, soot, and dioxins.

#OtD 28 Nov 1985 a Shell report showed they knew that global heating was real, caused by fossil fuels, and that global temp and sea levels were rising and would rise further. Shell covered it up and began sponsoring fake studies to deny climate change stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1004...

Hal Foster’s sweeping survey reminds us how great Surrealism was (or is). www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

I visited three years ago - fascinating part of the world and I look forward to hearing about what they’ve found:

We 👀 "search engines like DuckDuckGo adding options to filter out search results suspected of having synthetic content... There’s also a growing mvmt pushing back against new AI data centers... But no matter what form AI slop-refusal takes, it will need to be a group effort." - @tega.bsky.social

Additionally, AIA members believe James McCrery, Trump’s White House ballroom architect, may have violated the AIA’s Code of Ethics & Professional Conduct. www.newyorkmetropolitan.com/design/aia-m...

Home Depot could implement a policy requiring ICE to present a judicial warrant before operating on its property. Businesses are fully within their rights to decide who is allowed on their premises.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.

“In at least three of the cases, [out of seven lawsuits] the AI explicitly encouraged users to cut off loved ones. In other cases, the model reinforced delusions at the expense of a shared reality, cutting the user off from anyone who did not share the delusion.”

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

This matters urgently in Charlotte, where there are multiple reports of ICE agents targeting people who film their operations. Regardless of what ICE claims, recording federal officers in public is legal. Citizen journalism is not a crime.

We live in the future. It's here.

So it's not just Trump and Bondi running interference for pedophiles. Bessent is a key part of the Epstein coverup. I plan to seek Senate approval of my bill to force the Treasury Department to release its Epstein file in the coming weeks because we need to keep on following the money.

This is, of course, a stark betrayal of the New School’s storied history and animating spirit. It demonstrates something many of us know intellectually but have trouble grasping: many university leaders *do not care* about, even *actively despise*, the basic values that bring us to work every day.

"... representatives for Bloomberg News did not respond to requests for comment. The White House Correspondents’ Association, which has released statements in the past defending journalists who faced attack from Trump, did not respond to requests for comment." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I’ve written a piece on the curious lack of media and political interest in the issues faced by our national @britishlibrary.bsky.social. This is strange given we live in a world where ideas, knowledge and research are a long-term source of innovation and insight www.cityam.com/the-british-...

NEW: The Trump administration's brutal removal of so many workers is projected to shrink the nation’s GDP by as much as 6.8% — a deeper hit than the one sustained during the Great Recession. A.J. Schumann:

‘By 2015, it had become clear that the genetic basis of common diseases comprises a multitude of sequence variants outside genes, each altering risk by a minimal amount.’ Jonathan Flint and Iain Mathieson on junk DNA www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Operations were no longer about safety, but about fear, fear that reached families, workers, business owners, and even those with the legal right to be here. And in the quiet between sirens, the city wondered what it was becoming.

combined value of data center projects that were stalled or stopped surpassed the total from the previous two years. That’s a major sign that public pushback against these facilities is growing rapidly. The report comes from Data Center Watch.

Israel attacked Palestinian water sources over 250 times in 5 years, data reveals. Armed forces & settlers used bombs, dogs, poison & machinery to attack people & infrastructure. It's "an important part of a genocidal strategy" says Pedro Arrojo-Agudo www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

tax the rich

This is what male solidarity & collective action to oppress women looks like: Artist Andres Serrano--successful, but nowhere near the same class as Thiel & other billionaires in the files--stating that he'll vote for Trump, despite his politics, out of *sympathy* with T's sexual assaults on women.

your specific contractual obligations and liabilities summarized by a thing which can hallucinate seems like an obvious risk:

Peter Thiel is in the Epstein emails, enjoying himself. Peter Thiel is an overt, convinced, outspoken Nazi. Peter Thiel's company is being paid by the UK government to crawl all over YOUR personal data. Oswald Mosley's grandson runs his UK operation. You can't make it up.

He ordered the immediate release of 13 people whose detention clearly violated those rules, and directed the government to review roughly 615 additional cases involving individuals who aren’t subject to mandatory detention to determine whether they should also be released.

The DOGE cuts seemed to focus on tax teams that pursued enforcement of high income earners. The IRS had been building up enforcement on this area because most of the tax gap is driven by higher earners. Lax enforcement could cost hundreds of billions. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/five-quest...

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Public records show DHS is deploying the "Homeland Security Information Network" at college protests and football games.

Bracing and necessary read. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Yes, this is correct. And the reason is because our capitalist classes have decided that it is not sufficiently profitable, so they're not going to do it. We must understand this reality. Capital *cannot* be relied upon to address the climate crisis.

This right here.

Not that he didn’t already know, but now Trump knows for sure he can roll the Dems every time and there’s no need to negotiate for anything

“We have rarely witnessed such brutality erupt into public view like it has in Chicago,” writes Michael Woolf, senior minister of Lake Street Church of Evanston. “For me, this is a spiritual emergency, and it means putting our bodies on the line in order to stop deportations.”

A federal judge issued a stark warning about what he called an “existential threat to democracy” in a forceful first-person essay published Sunday. He revealed that he resigned from the bench to freely speak out against Trump,

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.” aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

People need to understand that Chicago is a preview, not a culmination.

They've already murdered someone in my city, shot another woman, zip tied children, tear gassed an elementary school, and broke six ribs of a bystander. The president of the United States of America says: that's not enough.

Wow! The lengths Trump will go to just to make Americans starve. His administration has ordered states to “immediately undo” any steps taken to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families.

40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine. We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/w...

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

A new paper [2023] based on long-lost documents confirms that DNA discoverer Rosalind Franklin should be credited for discovering the double helix. www.livescience.com/health/genet...

A federal appeals court has rejected a last-minute attempt by the Trump administration to block SNAP funding during the government shutdown. Now, in true Trump fashion, Trump is crying to the Supreme Court.

The Trump administration has filed an emergency request with the First Circuit Court of Appeals to block U.S. District Judge John McConnell’s order requiring it to fully fund the SNAP program using alternative funding sources by today.

Person centered therapy was a big part of my mental health recovery and one of the things that really stuck in my mind was my therapist saying it was like I was looking for the manual that had all the right answers, and explaining how it can't be that simple. The LLM is intended to be that manual.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk
