I finished reading PARABLE OF THE SOWER by Octavia E. Butler today and reviewed it. Sadly, I was disappointed by this novel. Here's my review on Amazon and Goodreads: Amazon: www.amazon.com/review/R1P2D... Goodreads: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

It happened again: The Trump administration has admitted illegally deporting a man to Guatemala despite an immigration judge's order that he was likely to be tortured there. A judge has ordered the administration to facilitate his return by next week.storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

One of the basic qualifications for being president is being able to stay awake during Cabinet meetings when someone is talking to you.

“Elon Musk’s charitable foundation grew larger than ever in 2024. But, for the fourth year in a row, the huge charity failed to give away the minimum amount required by law — and the donations it did make went largely to charities closely tied to Mr. Musk himself.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

Key points here are Trump’s gutter racism and contempt for the constitution—and a room full of schmucks who are OK with it.

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Palantir's Alex Karp offers a full-throated embrace of war crimes, which he considers to be the way all modern military forces should operate. No one who follows Palantir and its dealings around the world would be surprised. gizmodo.com/palantir-ceo...

The CEOs of both Ford and Stellantis, who are there to celebrate the rollback of vehicle emissions standards (which will drive climate change), are standing right behind Trump as he makes these racist comments.

NYT: “.. Even for Mr. Trump — who has a long history of insulting Black people, particularly those from African countries — his outburst was shocking in its unapologetic bigotry.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

This makes good sense if you're the Danish government. From it's point of view, the United States is dangerous.

Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.
