Well, some of those officers did not HONOR their oath and murdered people. So go easy on the sweeping declarations that they are honorable. When did they EVER follow that oath and refuse an illegal order?

Days ago, this guy blocked me for disagreeing on the military following illegal orders. Too bad, I was curious on his take. Today a Bezos Post story proves my point that the oaths as defense of law, in reality, are a myth. Military brass almost never honor that oath. bsky.app/profile/andy...

Remember these murders the next time someone tells us that military officers take an oath to follow the law and obey the Constitution. It's a classic case of theory vs reality. Back in reality, they will follow illegal orders rather than the law, with rare exception (if any). Theory vs realty.

😆

It's pretty instructive to compare the reaction to these murders to the killing of Charlie Kirk. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

I hope your Thanksgiving meal is as elegantly prepared and presented as Ghislaine Maxwell's. Glory!

Miles, an Indigenous actor best known for her roles in “Northern Exposure,” “Smoke Signals,” “Wyvern” and “The Last of Us,” handed them her tribal ID from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon. Yet, Miles recalled one agent calling it “fake.”

We now know that the man who shot the National Guard troops worked with the CIA for years in Afghanistan in a covert unit that was accused of the widespread killing of civilians. This raises so many questions about why this guy travelled from Washington State all the way to DC to shoot soldiers

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Must read, especially for journalists: A recent federal court opinion about how DHS is "simply not credible". Extended excerpts here: presswatchers.org/2025/11/dhss...

He literally tweeted this out. “SHOULD ORDERS AND THE LAW EVER CONFLICT, OUR OFFICERS MUST OBEY THE LAW.” This plaque is displayed at West Point. It’s the law. Not sedition.

🚨 NEW/EXCLUSIVE: The FBI turned over dozens of emails to me in response to my #FOIA request that provides a behind-the-scenes look at discussions involving the review and redaction of the Epstein files www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

This is the thing. We're being asked to pollute our society so billionaires can make gigantic propaganda bots.

👏👏👏👏👏👏 👍

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

My epiphany of the morning. (Hey, I am still in morning mode!)

RIGHT?!?! Too bad the JOURNALISM industry is so secretive and we don't have any journalism on why they have become such bootlickers for Republicans. It would make a helluva story.

Point 8 of the Nazi Party's 25-Point Platform: "Any further immigration of non-Germans must be prevented. We demand that all non-Germans who have entered Germany since August 2, 1914, shall be compelled to leave the Reich immediately."

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

📌NOTE: A sick and demented president calling for the death of political opponents is exactly why these politicians felt it necessary to remind our military not to follow illegal orders from a sick and demented president.

The really fun part, every time the president says something utterly psychotic, is that right after all his little toadies and goblins go on camera to say that he didn't mean what he said and that you're stupid for thinking so, his next move is always to announce that he meant every word of it

Crow: "It just tells us everything that we need to know that reminding people to obey the law, reminding people to obey the Constitution, is somehow criminal in Trumpworld and should be responded to with death threats. It's very, very telling."

Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

NEW: After fighting to keep emails between Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s office and billionaire Elon Musk’s companies secret, officials have released nearly 1,400 pages of documents to The Texas Newsroom. All but about 200 pages are blacked out.

This is pretty amazing. This guy just won a solid victory in Bucks County, PA, one of the most important swing counties in the country, by *explicitly and deliberately* making his race *all about* nationalizing ICE raids. Confirms the point about this now being a winning issue for Dems.

Terrific

1) An administrative burden party is a brilliant idea. 2) This mundane crap is the stuff AI *should* be helping us with for a happier and more productive society, but capital prefers to weaponize it against us, including to make bureaucratic mazes more confusing and impenetrable.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution. That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk. Wow.

Downright poetic. Don't miss this new story from most excellent @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/andr...

This is bullshit! What are the charges? 📌 Border Patrol arrested two women for allegedly honking their car horn to alert others of the agents’ presence

Europe's electricity system is changing rapidly and often in places that don't make the headlines. Look at Estonia - not that long ago and fossil fuels dominated around 90% of electricity generation. Today solar and wind eat more and more into the share of fossil fuel-generated electricity.

AOC: Should this AI bubble pop, we should not be entertaining a bailout of these corporations while healthcare is being denied to Americans and SNAP is being denied to Americans —

Well said!

The Trump White House interfered with law enforcement to protect supporting yet another sex abuser, Andrew Tate. They tried, and may have, squelched evidence. It's not just #Epstein. Republicans have deep empathy for sexual predators. www.propublica.org/article/andr...

Heads up, #Wisconsin for this Pro Publica story on Robin Vos undercutting parents of infants. Hey man, he's for forced birth, not for adequate care for infants. #WIPolitics www.propublica.org/article/wisc...

Support and read Pro Publica! Independent and fierce journalism.

I urge members of the legal profession to realize that prosecuting individuals who seek to overturn the constitutional order is not "retaliation" in any normatively significant sense.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”

Trump denies the Epstein allegations

Oh, good heavens... I don't know if the LEGO®️ people are gonna like this loathsome association with President Molest-a-Lot.

@safety.bsky.app if you suspend Patton Oswald for clearly hyperbolic statements about Megyn Kelly being fed into a woodchipper for supporting Trump's pedophilia, then how can you simply ignore very real death threats from the US Dept of Defense? They're killing people, not just ranting.

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends. It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

When I talk about private voucher schools being unaccountable, it makes some people very mad. But how do you explain this: All Wisconsin public and private school choice schools must administer the Forward exam every year. Public schools had a participation rate of close to 98% in 2025.
