If you have to get permission to teach in your area of expertise from people who are definitionally not qualified to adjudicate your expertise then you are no longer working at a university. You’re working at a state propaganda factory.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

“When we enlisted in the military, we were proud to serve our country. We never imagined that, after our service, we would have to fight for our own healthcare.” @tennesseelookout.com

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Clayton is SO good, Exhibit No. 82,924

🚨 More than 10 million people—including Texans—were hit in a massive data breach. The firm, which handles tolls, billing, and Medicaid services, has offices in Houston and Dallas: bit.ly/4p4LiXs

A defining New Hampshire renewable energy policy is once again facing proposed changes that opponents say would hamstring it and the state’s clean energy market. via @newhampshirebulletin.com

Jeffries: "I'm not gonna respond to any comments from randos like Dr Oz who is woefully unqualified to be in whatever position he holds in the administration. He's a joke."

Breaking: The Texas hemp industry, fresh from fending off an all-out ban by the state Legislature, is facing another extinction-level event — this time from Congress. bit.ly/4hPb5Ao

Fucking monsters: Outside a Sam's Club in Cicero, Illinois, Trump's Nazi ICE Gestapo pepper sprayed a 1-year-old baby and her 16-year-old sister as they sat in the back of a car. 😡😡😡👇

Having to pause. Got to go back to the day job. But will be back on these very soon.

It’s time to #DumpChuck actionnetwork.org/forms/tell-d...

We deserve a Democratic Party that is willing to fight as hard as we are. We need new leadership in this moment and to get there, we need a chorus of support for change. Tell your Democratic senators to call on Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. It’s time for drastic action.

Schumer needs to resign and Hochul needs to appoint Brad Lander to his seat.

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working. We need new leaders in the Senate.

Brad gets it. bsky.app/profile/brad...

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

Trailer for "Instinct" (a french manga by a youtuber called Inoxtag). Directed by Paul Lavau (with Adrien Pires as art director). Production : AZ Studio (Mehdi Aouichaoui, Zyed) & Slam Creations.

Chris Coons: "He's not listening to concerns about lowering costs. Instead he's worried about decorating his new Marie Antoinette ballroom or engaging in trying to figure out how to get his name on more statues and stadiums, or he's sitting across the table in the Oval Office with authoritarians."

A perfect metaphor for Trump's disdain for America's working class families. 😳👇

Whoa he’s right

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

It never was about reducing the debt. Trump and Elon Musk are firing working class Americans from their jobs to give tax cuts to billionaires — which is exactly what my song "New Religion" is about. These motherfuckers are plundering and pillaging America to line their pockets.

Rep. Al Green switches congressional districts in bid for reelection.

If only the Speaker put half as much energy into governing as he does into avoiding work. He still hasn’t sworn in Representative-elect Grijalva, people are hungry, planes are grounded, and Republicans are on vacation. They’re showing you exactly who they are. Believe them.

ALERT

This is what oligarchy looks like: If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break. If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry. Obscene.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Having been in a Gristedes I can confirm that this is 100% true nypost.com/2025/11/05/b...

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

Update: Red line is back baby

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

I get my breaking news from wrestling accounts:

The Malice ExS type. A one-off model. Equipped with 8 variable type O.W.L. units. More on those later.

And to think that it took more than 70 years for the Weinstein scandal to break and for things to change (just a little bit). How many women have been forced to endure or lose their careers in the meantime? 🤢

From "Baahubali - The Eternal War - Part 1" (Indian movie, 2027). Co-produced with French animation studio Alcyde, and several "Arcane" artists. Directed by Ishan Shukla ("Star Wars Visions" S2, "Schirkoa" Indian-French movie...). Full trailer >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdUP...

I will be seated day one

Republicans in Congress can stop the insanity and interruption to essential services by ending their vacation and working with Democrats to reopen the government and protect Americans' health care. It can be done, but it takes their participation. www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/new...

Another measure of our wildly illegal administration. The law is short and uncomplicated, just over one page. It's entire purpose is to reassure federal employees they will be paid. There is nothing in the law that distinguishes between furloughed employees, or employees required to work.

I'm guessing 'users of Bluesky' will ultimately be one.

On a planet damaged by rushed terraforming, a bodyguard-turned-reluctant rebel joins the last dregs of her parents’ failed uprising... THE KING MUST DIE is out today! If you love stories about found families, revolutions, and second chances, this book’s for you.
