Meanwhile in Russia: state media hosts and experts praised Trump's 28-point "peace plan," noting that it's in perfect alignment with Russia's goals and does not take Ukraine's interests into account. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyqh...

For a decade, Russia has been seeking to divide Europe and America, to undermine NATO and weaken the transatlantic alliance. This peace plan, if accepted, will achieve that goal. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

The “deal” deprives Ukraine of everything it has won by withstanding Russian aggression and defending the borders of Europe. It rewards Russian lawlessness—and makes America complicit in the lawlessness. It’s the end of post WWII American power. www.greatpower.us/p/28-points-...

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based. Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

In the richest city on Earth, 40% of NYC families can’t afford weekly food costs, and food prices are up 33% over the past decade. It’s time for a city government that puts affordability at the top of the agenda.

The basic truths that escape “both sides.”

SPECIAL: We got this conversation up as fast as possible because Tim Snyder's analysis of the Trump administration's agenda and methods is so important. Also: Why No Kings matters, and what’s at stake in Ukraine. This is, if I may say so, a must-watch. youtu.be/qq-V_k3HPLY?...

Since Trump took office, GOP policies have added over $1,000 in extra costs to the average California family’s bills. That’s $1,000 out of your pocket because of Trump’s mismanagement of our economy, healthcare system, government, and more. Enough is enough.

I warned that private equity taking over Walgreens would be bad for workers. This is the private equity playbook: they hollow out businesses, cheat their workers, and drive them into the ground. Red Lobster, Toys "R" Us, and Joann Fabrics. Who’s next?

„You don’t have to embarrass our guest“

Great convo. As the call of duty: modern eugenics meme-enforcement awfulness goes from city to city, it’s great @chrislhayes.bsky.social brought on Memo Torres from @lataco.bsky.social to talk about what is still happening in LA and what to learn. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

Well, well, well. Apparently, finally, they've locked their stuff down. Everything incriminating has been shredded, burned, eaten or flushed down the toilet? That took a while. But here we are. Hope it's still obvious what's been swept away. gift article from NYT www.nytimes.com/2025/11/16/u...

I don't know why we still call them ICE and treat them as a legitimate organization. They are an armed Militia and should be designated as a terrorist group. No other legal force in America wears masks and strips people of due process. They are a terrorist organization

Don't be evil? "Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, and tell local cops whether to contact ICE about the person, while simultaneously removing apps designed to warn local communities about the presence of ICE officers..." www.404media.co/google-has-c...

The GOP doesn't want less spending—they want a smaller pool of RECIPIENTS. Their goal is to allocate our taxes to the fewest Americans possible & it’s those leeches that are hoarding the benefits of taxation. Subsidizing their greed instead of using taxes on programs that benefit We, The People. 🧵

NEW: The DOJ is in settlement talks with Mike Flynn for $50M. They're robbing us blind. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ. It's a surreal--and troubling--read. drive.google.com/file/d/1Is6x...

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..." Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night: www.propublica.org/article/chic...

MAGA’s ongoing war on academic freedom, reflected in headlines from the last 24 hours.

The federal government is trying to place the University of California under political control. Sign the UC Unbowed petition before the UC Regents meet on Nov 18 and tell them to protect UC's independence. alumni.standforcampusfreedom.org/petitions/un...

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going! Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists. We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Ask your senators: “Will you vote to remove Chuck Schumer as Senate Minority Leader?” We only need 23 Democratic or Independent senators. Let’s start counting.

2 years, 1 month, and 23 days left of his term. Apparently, I’m not the only one counting the days.

meanwhile, even more people will lose healthcare

OMG. Thank you. Dems didn‘t lose because of identity politics. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Fashion? Now? I mean, take a break and learn to surf to take care of your mental health so you can get back in the fight for democracy, sure (AOC). But this just seems like eating cake while the house is burning down. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
