A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

So you mistakenly dismembered a journalist?

This is how the depraved, unprincipled Trump excuses the murder of Jamal Khashoggi : blame the victim. “A lot of people didn’t like that gentleman that you’re talking about, whether you like him or didn’t like him, things happen,” he says sitting with the culpable MBS. Sickening and infuriating.

"The rate of warming is showing signs of accelerating" PIK Director Johan Rockström gives an analysis of the current situation on climate & planetary boundaries at #COP30. The data suggests the world is heading for global temperatures not seen in millions of years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnNn...

New UK asylum law would stop #migrants from becoming citizens for 20 years.

A Member of the Queen's Guard breaks protocol to comfort a lost child. Makes me tear up. WHat has happened to our humanity, folks? WHy is it not things like this that we venerate? Why do we tolerate cruelty all over our land???

um...

If only the Orange King was the backbone of the right wing movement. He’s just a front man. The real danger is behind him, obscured from view. ONE of the biggest problems we have is the Supreme Corruption who broke the Constitution to allow him on the ballot. They have lifetime appointments.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

So proud of my friend and fellow Welsh Pembroke Corgi owner @andrewfeinberg.com for asking this question: “What was the president doing with Virginia Giuffre for hours at Epstein's house?"

Did you miss the #Arlington Author Salon Book Fair? It’s a fun event. Come next year!

Just saying.

"Clearly echoing Erwin Rommel’s Nazi force, the Africa Corps is the Kremlin’s new expeditionary formation in Africa. ...Like Wagner before it, it is still laden with neo-Nazi and white supremacist symbology." on Russian neo-colonialism in Africa: ecfr.eu/publication/...

Hundreds of thousands of people, dead because of a decision made by the world's richest man

It is clearly deeply annoying for a sociopath when a human collapses nearby and distracts attention from him.

Now they’re coming after minors. ICE is planning to open a new call center with a dedicated unit to track unaccompanied migrant children, according to internal contracting documents.

Gorsuch finally starting to understand what they have unleashed

The majority of Americans are good. We have heart. We have compassion. When we see others struggle, we want to lend a hand. For too long, we’ve been divided and pitted against each other by those who crave obscene wealth and power. Let’s change that. One election at a time.

Today is only the beginning. Our time has come, New York. Our time is now.

#Boston peeps, attend the Arlington Author Salon Book Fair on Sat Nov 8, 2 to 5, at the Roasted Granola Cafe in Arlington Heights. #booksky 📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system. Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

MGH is Awesome! #Boston is so fortunate to have top level hospitals. #Medical

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

One in eight Americans get #SNAP. That means 1 in 8 Americans do not get a decent salary.

What can Dems learn from Mamdani? 1. He is an authentic human. 2. He cares about people. 3. He has a sense of humor. 4. He focuses on econ inequality. 5. He rejects corporate politics. 6. His policy proposals & messaging are laser-focused on affordability. www.americaamerica.news/p/six-lesson...

“All tricks and no treats” said Former president #Obama about you know who. So nice to hear his wisdom again!!!

Obama: It is not as if we didn't see some of this coming. I will admit it is worse than even I expected, but I did warn you all. I did. You can run the tape.

I know it's hard, but do not turn away from this regime's cruelty and violence. Remember it. Document it. Defend against it when you can. Let it influence your voting. And know that this will be needed in defying them now and holding them accountable as soon as we can.

DAMN

So upset by the state of the world! A walk in #nature does help but that help does not last as we again are obliged to confront the assault on #democracy once back home.

EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN has signed on to using starvation of CHILDREN as a political tool YOU okay with that?? When this nightmare is over, REMEMBER who put us here. steady.substack.com/p/have-we-re...

I cannot believe this is the America we live in where a Governor has to beg the President to pause tear gas and chemical agents for Halloween.

Americans are sick of skipping doctor’s appointments, rationing medicine & delaying lifesaving surgeries because health care is so expensive. If we don’t act now, millions of Americans will lose their health insurance. Dems are fighting to protect our people & reopen the government.

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

I’m tired of watching hardworking folks beg for the basics while billionaires keep cashing in. 
Being able to put food on your table should never be a luxury. You can’t call yourself pro-life while letting families go hungry. 
You can’t shout “America First” while putting Americans last.

When experts apply the same tools used to track Venezuela to the U.S and the score says trouble...you can’t ignore the alert any longer. They concluded it...in under nine months: the U.S. is on a fast-track toward authoritarian rule. This is your wake-up signal. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Great crowd at the Boston Book Festival yesterday! #booksky

DO IT!!!! DO SOMETHING!!!!

ICE Facility unlawfully denies routine visit from Member of Congress Congressman Horsford about the incident: "What are they hiding? You don't get to slam the door on a Member of Congress during a routine ICE visit.

Sadly, we no longer live in a functioning democracy.

🤦🤦🤦 President says he ‘may go to the Congress and tell them … but I can’t imagine they’d have any problem with it’ Trump plans land strikes against alleged drug traffickers from Venezuela www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We will do what we need to do to reclaim our rights & preserve our nation as defined in the Constitution. We must meet the moment with vigor & courage. This regime is corrupt to the core. They aim to demolish America & restructure it for the ultra rich. Resist. The time is now
