It might be easy to find things like this merely petty or superficial, but that would be a mistake. Demeaning, erasing or eliminating celebrations or acknowledgments of Black America is straight from Redemption playbook, and is intended to reinforce the racial hierarchy and signal its reinstatement.

Wow. Tracy Beth Høeg, the FDA's new acting director of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) just put this slide up during her presentation to ACIP. We have left reality.

ProPublica examined months of Fox News’ coverage and reviewed over 700 videos posted on social media. The network used five-year-old footage, mislabeled other dates and implied footage from elsewhere was in Portland.

If the Supreme Court makes you mad keep in mind that within the last week Democratic senators have been voting for GOP judges to get on the federal bench

Every time ACIP meets, Bill Cassidy (R, Coward City) makes pathetic mewling sounds about how bad the committee is. It is Bill Cassidy’s fault that ACIP is no longer a legitimate scientific body. Sir, you are a fucking U.S. Senator. Impeach RFK Jr or STFU.

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

Hi @jimfarley.bsky.social! How ya doing tonight? Looks like you thought Trump's sick, foul racist vomit was a real hoot. Can we assume the Ford Motor Co. stands by this?

the thing about signalgate is that it’s a scandal hegseth was ever nominated for this job, a scandal that 50 senators and vp vance voted to confirm him, and a scandal trump didn’t fire him months ago

I hope people take two minutes to listen to this shocking display of bigotry. It brings clarity to what we are fighting against. We should all be sick to hear such un-American drivel from the President of the United States.

They are beating people who maybe once had a broken taillight and sending them to foreign slave prisons while freeing the worst fraudsters and every corrupt pol. The juxtaposition is so stark and appalling.

it is crazy that the president is essentially just the project manager for a medium-sized hotel ballroom who tweets things which would yet someone with that actual job fired instantaneously

changing my title to secretary of war and immediately wetting my pants after doing war crimes in front of everyone

I want us to hang on to the fact that the people who were murdered were just civilians out in boats, most likely fishermen, who had never even heard the sketchy conclusions of American officials for which they were executed, much less had a chance to defend themselves.

We are not at war with Venezuela, yet. The boats are civilian craft. The U.S. criminal code does not maintain a death penalty for drug smuggling. Due process is required before conviction or sentence. All of the 80 people killed thus far are wanton murders slain under illegal orders. All of them.

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.

Trump just commuted the 7-year sentence of David Gentile, a private equity leader who helped defraud thousands of people out of some $1.6 billion, almost as soon as his prison stint began. "I lost my whole life savings," one person wrote, adding, "I am living from check to check."

The Trump administration believes that the rich and powerful should be pardoned for their crimes, even after judges and juries determined their guilt. But if you’re a non-white guy in a fishing boat, there’s no need for a trial or even an arrest. Murder from above, no questions asked.

I hope it’s now (even more) obvious that having military in our streets, with instructions to ignore “stupid rules of engagement,” is not in any way intended to protect us or make us safer

In the last week, Donald Trump has called for the murder of Congressional Democrats and threatened to unilaterally declare an invasion of Venezuela. If Congressional Republicans followed the Constitution, both of these would be removable offenses. But, they’re loyal to Trump, not the constitution.

The Boston Globe identified the companies in Massachusetts that employ the most SNAP recipients. A key stat: "In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are employed, half of them full-time." Full article: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/28/m...

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker. Just to level set

It shouldn’t take a slur that impacts you personally, or losing your healthcare or SNAP, or being forced to sell your farm, or having to watch a loved one get unjustly detained and deported...to walk away from a madman. Cruelty isn’t strength. Reject it. Always.

Zero reckoning from any of the elites who credulously parroted the absurd idea that the right wing was in favor of free speech.

"If you look at job growth between January and September ... for the past 15 years, it's only been worse once, and that was during the pandemic ... It is the worst first nine months for the labor market in 15 years."

For the next two weeks we will be fundraising for our winter ministry project … consider partnering with our local ministry in providing grocery gift cards for the community venmo.com/u/solomon-MI...

There was no "Emergency" situation with crime in DC. This stunt got a 20 year old young woman killed. It. Got. A. Woman. Killed.

Killing is bad, and to that end I'd like to call attention to the dozens killed in small boats in the southern Caribbean by the Trump Administration and the estimated 600,000 who've died of preventable disease and starvation thanks to the administration's destruction of USAID.

An 18yo US citizen, surrounded by eight masked, armed agents of the state, taken into custody, not read his rights, not offered a chance to contact a lawyer, proof of citizenship ignored, handcuffed so tightly he later required medical attention. Profoundly, profoundly anti-American shit.

The feds repeatedly lied and misled the public during Chicago's immigration crackdown, a federal judge ruled in a scathing opinion. blockclubchi.co/3JVoFWJ

I remain convinced DOGE was a massive, planetary scale data exfiltration scheme and that Palantir has it all now

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

DOGE was always a very thinly disguised con to dress up data theft and extraction class destruction of federal corporate oversight as innovative, and it's important to remember that part of the reason it worked so well is that the press helped legitimize it

Pretty remarkable that Trump has installed someone on the Saudi dole — Jared Kushner collects millions in fees from the Saudis every year — in a key role for America's most sensitive and consequential foreign policy negotiations (Gaza, Ukraine), and it is largely TREATED AS A NON-STORY

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences. It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

every social media company is bad but Meta really is uniquely evil

Imagine knowing your platform was a playground for predators, fueling teen depression, eating disorders, and suicide and deciding the best course of action was… absolutely nothing. Meta didn’t just “miss” anything.

Home Depot could implement a policy requiring ICE to present a judicial warrant before operating on its property. Businesses are fully within their rights to decide who is allowed on their premises.

Trump's domestic Gestapo raided a job site, then handcuffed a US citizen born in Raleigh NC -- even after being shown the guy's REAL ID, which is only available to US citizens and LPRs CBP+ICE will ignore your identifying documents when it suits their racism www.newsobserver.com/news/local/a...

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays: Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink. If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business. Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.* The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

He is not challenging scientific orthodoxy. He is trying to destroy public health in the United States by lying about decades of data on the safety and efficacy of vaccines.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

TEN MONTHS IN: The national debt is higher. The trade deficit is wider. The inflation rate has worsened. The unemployment rate is up.

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.

If you're interested in telling the folks at Hendrick Motors what you think about their multimillion dollar no-bid contract supplying CBP/ICE with vehicles, there will be protests at their HQ 4-5pm today, Thursday, and Friday. 6000 Monroe Rd, park at the Aldi across the street.

Do you really think a Department of Justice that lies to judges about grand jury indictments is going to be open and honest about the Epstein Files?

It seems to have gotten lost in the MeToo backlash but sexual harassment is in fact illegal
