White woman puts Mexican flag on her truck to waste ICE’s time.

Kalen Dion is not wrong. 😳👇

As literacy declines, complexity feels “too long,” misinformation spreads faster than analysis, and emotional reactions replace critical thinking. We’re not just reading less; we’re thinking less deeply.

Christ on a bike, this is brilliant. And disgustingly historically accurate. 10/10

Truth this Christmas 🙏

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

The only thing Trump has ever taken his name off of is the Epstein files.

And may every day be another wonderful secret.

Reposting this again. This was a crucial mistake in the free speech arena.

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008. Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.

For all the Republicans on your Christmas List:

It's weird to me how many people don't understand this.

Read these words. This is your country doing this: “Pregnant & postpartum women report starving in ICE custody, freezing cells, invasive procedures, miscarriages, their pleas for help going unanswered.” Thank you @rfkhumanrights.bsky.social @the-independent.com for shining a light on these horrors

Jimmy Fallon would host the Hunger Games.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

I am once again telling everyone to get the fuck off Substack leavesubstack.com

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store. Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

I love this so much!!

When the top JAG at Southern Command told the Pentagon that their plans to blow up fishing boats based on suspicions that they might have drugs in the cargo hold was certainly illegal, Hegseth simply ignored him, while others told him his career was over. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I just hope the good men in this country remember to pause and think occasionally what it’s like for women and girls to accept the fact that our country elected a rapist a second time. & bc you’re good men I believe you’ll feel a anger like fire. Don’t let that flame go out. Please. Thanks. 🙏

As Bovino and masked DHS officers sweep another Home Depot looking to round up day laborers, a reminder of the meeting in May when Stephen Miller screamed at ICE to stop doing targeted enforcement, start hitting Home Depots and 7/11s and “just go out there and arrest illegal aliens.”

ATTENTION: white women 🙌🏼

Another thing this email trove has convinced me of is that NYT has been actively and consciously helping Trump since 2015. It wasn't just casual sexism, double standards, and political reporting Kayfabe. They were doing catch and kill

With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters.

BREAKING: A federal judge NOW has directed Mike Johnson to promptly swear in Rep.-Elect Adelita Grijalva. The game is up for Johnson, and Trump, too. So, now what?!

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

It's been 42 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

Seems like a good time for the Speaker of the House to swear in Rep. Grijalva.

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

Best 3 minutes you will spend on the internet today.

She made an ofrenda for people who have died in ICE custody, which is a topic not covered enough by the news. 💔

Swear her in. Release the Epstein Files.

Rep.-elect Grijalva won her race by nearly 40 points. She’s here, ready to serve. It’s been over a month, but Speaker Johnson refuses to swear her in. Why? Because he’s hiding the Epstein Files.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

this Thanksgiving, remember who starved America. trump.

The NY Times and WaPo may be lost causes but holy shite look at PEOPLE out here absolutely killing it with 100% unvarnished truths 🌟

Just checking: the republicans that attacked and sent marshals to arrest Texas dems for not showing up to work (in an effort to protect voting rights, btw) are the same republicans that are not showing up to work, yeah?

It's a potentially useful idea, depending on your neighborhood, but also, we live in a hellscape.
