Bolsonaro is what happens when six Supreme Court justices aren't co-conspirators.

The thing about the mayor of dc not running for reelection is I had no idea she had been mayor for so long! Props to her for surviving in the pressure cooker for as long as she has.

I used to dress reasonably ok to fly, but now it’s my duty as a patriotic American to wear Christmas pjs all year round when I fly. I’m gonna find flying slippers too. “Oh I can’t wear those in my house, they are for flying”

Ordering Indian food the week of Thanksgiving because I miss curry Thanksgiving with ex’ bf fam 😣 Not the same, but hey, I get Indian food.

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.

Just a death cult.

I appreciate this list.

These would be voluntary interview requests and the answer should be, go pound sand.

Portfolio careers is a term I heard for the first time this month. People who only have one 9-5 job (or some very consistent hours) that can support themselves are diminishing.

Kid 3 showed me a pic of his siblings on insta and asked “do you miss it?” since I deactivated main about a month ago. Tbh, no. I wish I could post pics w/o the spiraling doom scroll but I can’t. My desire to know what others are up to & my interest in the performative are reduced significantly.

When did I begin dreading holidays? And why are so many of similarly aged friends feeling similar? It’s too much. I can’t even think about Christmas. Somewhat related? A family member texted yesterday to tell me they will be at MY house for four night. Yesterday?! Rage combined with dread.

The HPV vaccine is erasing cancer – here's the proof www.gavi.org/vaccineswork... via @gavi.org

Since the patriots game is not the one we get, watching 10 Things I Hate About You with the 15yo. Gotta get him some culture. Lol

This should be a bigger scandal. It isn't going to go away. Why did Huckabee meet with Pollard, a traitor who sold out US secrets to Israel, and has never expressed true regret for his actions? www.axios.com/2025/11/21/m...

Keep this story in the news. "Man Detained by ICE Found Dead, Hanging With Hands and Feet Tied—Attorney" www.newsweek.com/ice-detainee...

I was a bit worried about how I would spend the offseason— thankful for Christmas movies on hallmark and Netflix even as I’ve seen them before. 15yo upon learning what I’m watching “oh I think I know how this ends” that kid …

UVA men’s basketball has scored at least 80 points in 5 straight games for the first time since 2001.

Happened to be in the courthouse two days this week- while the shooter’s sentencing hearing was ongoing. Even though my business was elsewhere, the solemnity throughout the building was obvious. Grateful for the closure of this part of the case. The families & survivors are in my thoughts. 🙏🏼💙🧡

We have a whole lot of replacing to do in the upcoming elections. There are a lot of spinless Dems who need to go. "with dozens of Democrats joining Republicans in their McCarthyist fervor."

The part where they threatened to break a judge’s car windows should be a bigger story … they feel comfortable treating judges this way, which means they are being told that they can do literally anything to nearly everyone

Because I enjoy this game, but I am not excellent at it, I thought I would share my results today so you too can enjoy the slight challenge and become addicted like I have. DRESSED → KILL [95%] Raddle #270 • Nov 21, 2025 raddle.quest/270 🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢💡🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢

I appreciate the life I’ve created for myself here. It’s a pleasure to talk to the people I talk with and do work on their behalf. I love the community my kids have and I have. My brain requires constant reminding since the default is everything is awful or so much anxiety.

blaming high rents on immigration is hysterical. there has never been a problem caused more by rich people

dont fucking let them gaslight us on who the military swears an oath to. they do not swear an oath to do what the president wants. they swear an oath to defend the constitution. and when the president gives an illegal order, you do not follow it. the guide post for our military is the constitution.

In case you missed it, the CDC website can no longer be considered a reliable source of information.

Wow. This is an affront to parents. Fetal development can be taught without an eye towards politics. Science is having a bad year in this timeline.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

My state senator, @creighdeeds.bsky.social, could not get answers from the University of Virginia (which he represents) about the ousting of President Jim Ryan, so he FOIAed them, for which they charged him $4,500 and took one month and four days to respond (five days are allowed by law).

Turns out Halligan's brilliant prosecutorial tactic for securing these impossible indictments was to SIMPLY NOT GO IN FRONT OF THE GRAND JURY. The prosecution should be immediately dismissed, Halligan should be sanctioned and instantly disbarred, and everyone involved should frankly go to jail

For folks catching up, the reason the second indictment weirdly wasn't in the grand jury transcript, which confused the magistrate judge, is THEY NEVER PRESENTED IT TO THE GRAND JURY.

PSA for punk fans. This is a good article with lots of great Aussie records highlighted. daily.bandcamp.com/lists/austra...

just got a podcast ad telling me I could "reimagine how I work with PDFs". is there a file format less associated with imagination than the PDF. this is like asking me to reimagine a hanging file folder or a stapler. why would I do that

the people screaming online daily about boycotting x, y, and z had better be in formation...

My lack of surprise from another US city haunted by this administration doesn’t make the wretchedness of what’s going on in Charlotte any more palatable. As a teacher in South Carolina who counts some incredible Latinos as her students, I'm terrified for what their families are enduring. #momsky

a relatively well written article of course TX is appealing. Court decision was 2-1 decision.

This was an epic moment in television. They decided to make Snuffleupagus real at the advice of child psychologists who said children needed to know their parents would believe them if they told them about someone they knew doing things with them the parents didn’t know

THIS. We must NEVER FORGET, THIS!

"Patrick County’s healthcare crisis intensified as its only urgent care facility announced its permanent closure, leaving more than 17,000 residents with no in-county emergency medical care."

forget "read widely" or "kill your darlings"—*this* is perhaps the best piece of writing advice I could ever give someone

This is extremely concerning

Are you interested in holding your elected officials accountable? We need people to join bird dogging teams! There are lots of roles — research and support roles for introverts, asking well-crafted, strategic questions for those willing to speak out! There’s something for everyone!

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte. ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018. We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:

I’m excited to try the giant pretzel at Hogwallers. The last one I had was so superior that I am measuring my expectations. The thing about Chicago you can get a delicious currywurst & giant pretzel then go see an Aussie punk band within a block. Unlikely it can live up to the one from that night.

Bless The American Bishops speaking out against ICE.

I am so impressed with the Chicago journalists covering the invasion of their city, and this interview with @lauranrodriguez.bsky.social is inspiring. A must read. Brava! pressingissues.org/when-the-gov...
