⭕️ Sen. Chris Van Hollen (@vanhollen.senate.gov) credited for key role in release of US teen from Israeli detention Palestinian-American child Mohammed Ibrahim, 16, was freed today after 9 months of Israeli imprisonment w/o charge. Journalist Jasper Nathaniel, who has been a major advocate for...

Since when do Americans “do business “with their government in this fashion?

This is murder. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Northwestern and Columbia being famous for journalism and bending over for Trump seems a little too on the nose these days

The problem with fetishizing the rule of law is that people have to break the law to resist fascism, state violence, and oppression. This has always been true, and is very much the case RIGHT NOW.

Cowards.

It's maddening. I tweeted a raffle for Gaza, an auction for Gaza and a link to our shop...they suspended me again & I can't appeal. This is after ebay Ireland suspended our store without giving us a reason. As Palestinian you're constantly fighting giants with your hands tied behind your back

Prospera is pushing hard with threats to use skewed and business-friendly dispute resolution tribunal and now getting major favoritism from Trump admin and election interference. Trump praised Argentine pres Milei’s an-cap crap philosophy and is looking to see it planted in Honduras. Very grim…

WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

The entire town.

Wild to see Whelan say this, but to be clear the OLC's immunity powers are fake anyway. The "golden shield" idea was made up to justify rampant criminality in the GWBush years, then adopted by Holder to excuse Obama's inaction. It's not in the Constitution, statute, or precedent. It's not the law.

1. we don’t do royal decrees so, sorry, no 2. the reason the government respects decisions made by prior administrations is so that the decisions made by the current administration will be respected by the next one. that’s less of a concern if you don’t plan to leave office.

It should go without saying, but the president has no authority to do this, and anyone reporting the story needs to say as such.

obviously plenty of other things should have already been disqualifying but people willing to defy Trump publicly and appeal to decency as their reason for doing so both seem pretty good

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture

#LetterboxdFriday! #LastFourWatched

Worse than the president saying this to a reporter: her colleagues not saying or doing a fuckin thing about it

Lmao

If you’re being thankful with your family today maybe spread the love a little bit to a family that has lost so much ❤️

Once again; you can't moderate your way to neutralizing an issue like immigration. It's fundamentally just racist reaction. Nothing is ever enough because what's demanded—ethnonationalist homogeneity—is completely unavailable in modern conditions. There will *always* be a basis for more demagoguery

🚨 COMMUNITY ALERT🚨 At LaGuardia Airport, there are several rumored and one confirmed ICE arrest of domestic travelers. If you are at risk of detention or not sure, exercise caution while traveling. Make a safety plan in case of detention and consult an immigration attorney.

SCOOP—In August, nearly 200 current/former FEMA staffers published the Katrina Declaration, a whistleblower letter detailing all the dangers posed by current leadership. All current employees were put on indefinite leave, and now I've learned one has been fired in violation of federal protections:

fuck you the memories of a generation lost because of Reagan's homophobia will not be erased i think we should do something in DC that would make david wojnarowicz proud tbh

The Myth of a Rightward Realignment Let’s discard some stubborn misconceptions about Trump’s support and what happened in the 2024 election that are obscuring our understanding of a profound de-alignment of the established order. New piece:

Vicente has been missing for seven weeks after being taken into DHS’ custody and experiencing a medical emergency. His family has no answers on where he is or if he is safe. The Trump Administration cannot get away with disappearing people.

Just thinking about the profound impact on our lives that the craven, selfish, petty choices made by ‘access journalists’ has had. Never working again is the bare minimum of accountability.

Every year around this time, I ask folks to consider doing something in support of Native people. This year, please join me in supporting the Native Organizers Alliance as they build grassroots power, defend Native voting rights, and equip our people for collective struggle through skill-building.

Next week the House E&C Committee is looking to run something of a shock and awe campaign, debating at least 19 bills that they say are related to "protecting kids online." Most of which are actually about censorship and control. Don't buy the framing. It's always the same damn thing.

I love how the AI cult is so far up their own collective ass that they think acceptance is inevitable if they just keep demanding it while doing fuckall to earn it.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Hey, if you have a feminist in your life who is interested in how sports are a microcosm of the way women are treated by the patriarchy, might I humbly suggest my book as a holiday gift?

WOWWWWW— that didn’t take long: “Crews walk out on on Nashville tunnel, claiming Musk’s Boring Company Failed to Pay Workers and Snubbed OSHA concerns” As we suspected, that absurd not-a-town-hall with Steve Davis aged like guacamole 🥑 nashvillebanner.com/2025/11/25/b...

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.

The sheer cruelty is breathtaking.

Also, no one seems to talk about all the MeToo accusations leveled at Ratner anymore.

As the Trump administration continues to unlawfully murder people in small vessels in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific, deploy the National Guard to U.S. cities, and ignore court orders, six Democratic members of Congress were moved to act.

Israel’s genocide has destroyed nearly 90% of Gaza’s economy, causing the worst economic collapse ever recorded. In 2024 alone, Israel caused Gaza’s GDP to decline by 83%, according to data reported by the UN Trade and Development agency. Now, Gaza’s economy stands at just 13% of its 2022 levels.

My microwave sings a little song when my Hot Pocket is done. Should it have the right to vote?

For Elle, I wrote about intimacy coordinators—a really fascinating and varied group of people—and asked them how they feel about the rapid rise and recent backlash to their profession. They surprised me. www.elle.com/culture/movi...

This being named a NYT Notable Book of 2025 seems to prove it's thesis

I have had an influx of pitches recently that I am 90% sure were written with ChatGPT. All claiming to be different writers but pitching the same quite niche topics with very similar wording. Googling the writers reveals no footprint. Their writing examples have the hallmarks of ChatGPT

It takes so little to pacify people. Mamdani should be getting grilled 24/7 about his recent decisions to retain Tisch as Police Commissioner, support Hakeem Jeffries, and meet with billionaires like Trump, but instead he makes a pop culture reference and everyone goes, "Aww, he's just like us!"

Moments ago: tenants of the South Shore apartment building that federal immigration agents raided at the end of September held a presser to announce they're forming a tenants union. They're demanding, among other things, sewage removal and heat and electricity restroration. More updates TK.
