My experience with Congress taught me why shorter work weeks are so important because these people so furiously defend their relaxation time that they will literally ruin the lives of millions of people to avoid working Fridays.

We have so much food. There are so many things that are wrong or difficult or complicated, but simple food -- we have more than enough so that nobody should ever have to go hungry. Every time somebody does, it's because of a choice that someone else made.

And then I think of this guy who was trying to tell me all up and down that he was hard working and he wasn't a bum and I get even angrier. It's like he felt like he needed to explain to me why he deserved to eat.

And I just keep thinking of our government officials on VACATION while their constituents' stomachs burn.

So, like yeah I got him food because like I was going outside to pick up MY takeout and buying food at a premium and then being like sorry my dude cannot spare any food for you would absolutely rack me with Catholic guilt. But it also made me so so so mad. Like these fuckers are STARVING people.

What could Elon Musk’s $1 trillion compensation package fund if it were returned to the people? www.instagram.com/p/DQxKWX-E4L...

Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino was walking in Waukegan, Illinois, when residents followed and shouted, “You’re a bitch!”

In totally normal news, we are fighting about the political alignment of "The Thunderbolts*"

anyway good night

Senate Majority Leader John Thune rejected a Democratic offer to reopen the government and extend expiring health care subsidies for a year. Thune said he thinks the offer is an indication that Democrats are “feeling the heat.” He must have been out of the country on Tuesday.

Starting a band called "Little Bobby Tables", let me know if you're in.

"The average voter believes a SNAP recipient gets $20/day, more than 3 times the actual amount of $6."

DULF is a humanist organization that has saved lives. They did what the government has failed to do & regulated the drugs people were already using. That same government is charging them with crimes for not sitting idly by & watching more people die preventable deaths from an unregulated drug supply

Maths... If you make $100,000 a year (not bad), it will take you 10 MILLION years to earn a trillion dollars. If you make a million dollars a year (wow!), it'll still take you a million years to earn a trillion dollars. Tax the rich.

Today at Broadview ICE, an excellent outfit and protest sign combination (photo taken with permission) 👊🏻🕶️

If Charon ferries him down the Styx, does that mean he's up a paddle without a Crick?

JAMES WATSON IS DEAD AND THAT IS A GREAT BOOKEND FOR THE WEEK.

"All right, class, who knows what Watson and Crick discovered?" "Rosalind Franklin's notes." "That's correct."

Proud to call this man a friend. This is so fucking great.

just trying to recommend a gymwear company and i get sexually harassed smh when will we stand up

I won't circulate their garbage video, but those fools have no idea what's on the shadows... But it's not them..

People should do check in's with themselves about what things they are not saying or doing because they are afraid of conservative backlash, including threats and bombardment You need to pay attention to how you are being worked on and how fear is being used to govern you

My entire information workflow and toolchain moved entirely offline over the last 5 years, local and open data formats only, no expectation that anything online would be in the slightest bit reliable, or safe for me to use as a user to not get manipulated in some way by somebody else for profit.

Capitulation is not compromise.

Just asking for one year extension on ACA after Democrats pulled of a massive in this past Tuesday is pathetic. Once again @schumer.senate.gov who didn't endorse Mamdani like a coward - is failing to read the moment.

@democrats.senate.gov you are failures led in your pathetic capitulation by @schumer.senate.gov

You are all a bunch of suckers with short memories you can all get fucked!!

You fucking people will let anyone off the hook for their violent hateful beliefs and all they have to do is say shiny words you like You’re all a bunch of Nazi tattoo forgiving, Jewish space lasers forgetting gullible marks getting played for fools As a Jew I suggest you all go fuck yourselves.

Sparing a thought today for whomever, at each airline, has to decide which flights to cancel, and allllll the customer-service people who have to deal with the fallout.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Running a neurodivergent household is just like a constant scavenger hunt. Everyone is losing things constantly, and I just stash replacements and unexpected prizes around the house and let entropy and ADHD do the rest.

It is fascinating how many folks who sat on their thrones for such a long time are suddenly finding retirement calling and just tapping out.

This Virginia election result is an eye-opener for me, even though I've covered the environmental and health impacts of AI and data centers for quite a while. 👀

When it's time for your big solo during the elementary school Christmas Pageant and one of the 3 Wisemen passes out next to the manger

HUGE NEWS! Because of Democratic pressure, Oregon SNAP recipients are reporting their cards have the FULL November benefits!   Everyone who called out Trump for using hungry children and seniors as a bargaining chip has WON with tremendous results!!

Oh just thought of another 11) Descending from Jews who abandoned Judaism due to the trauma of oppression and left you with little more than a last name and an affinity for bagels is just as valid a Jewish heritage as being the hardcore Orthodox descendant of a long line of famous rebbes

"Aragorn, what's that noise?" "A stampede, but the beasts must be huge!" "They're all speaking, too, a soft southern drawl." "You don't think..." "It can't be..." "Oh no! It's a herd of Timothy Oliphaunts!"

The federal judge is telling them to comply with the law.

I interrupt your morning to remind you that "Lemonademouth" is a near perfect album. Sorry, I only skeet facts.

This account also feels in line with some of what other people that have been in Broadview have shared.

He said there was no room to sleep. People sat up, slept on the floor, standing up. He saw many pregnant women there too. The conditions were unbearable. His wife is horrified by his account.

Her husband was at Broadview one month and she was never able to talk to him. Not until he was already in Mexico. He had been in Chicago for 20 years. Her husband shared that the numbers of people there were astounding. It just makes me think how many people that are not counted/just disappeared.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

It's wild because you could make a plausible argument that Musk adds negative value to Tesla. Their consumer car business could be a long-term success if they detached their brand from his. And any rational future Dem president would cancel his security clearance. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/b...
