Wow! Jesse Welles performed his song “Join ICE” on the Colbert Show last night. 🏆

Happy 83rd Birthday President Biden. I slept so much better when you were in the White House. 🎂

Powerful PSA

Trump Ignored Top Military Lawyer on Illegal Boat Strikes newrepublic.com/post/203446/... via @newrepublic.com

Seems as how he’s guilty of sedition, espionage, and the violent rape of young children, he’s on very fragile thin ice.

EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: my staff is releasing a new report showing JPMorgan Chase executives – all the way to the top – enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation. You're going to want to read this.

'People forget what Khashoggi was investigating when he was murdered. He was writing about Kushner turning over classified info to MBS, who used it to hunt down, arrest and murder his opponents.' h/t @cocacolakid

We are amazed by the resistance in Charlotte, NC. The Trump administration named the operation there “Charlotte’s Web,” and people have been mobilizing fast. Students, especially, have become the heart of the resistance. This was

These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott. From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

“The JAG at Southern Command specifically expressed concern that strikes against people on boats in the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Pacific Ocean…could amount to extrajudicial killings, the six sources said, and therefore legally expose service members involved in the operations.”

NEW: Sean Duffy frequently calls safety his “top priority” as transportation secretary. But I spent months wading through regulatory notices and found something far different: that USDOT has been delaying, weakening and killing dozens of safety rules, many opposed by the transportation industry.🧵

It looks like Lindsey Halligan misled a grand jury, prosecutorial conduct equivalent to committing perjury, in order to manufacture an indictment against James Comey for… wait for it… perjury.

The rule also removes protections for ephemeral streams (waterways that flow only after rain or snow) despite their importance to downstream water quality. In short, this proposal rolls back long-standing protections and leaves millions of acres of waterways more vulnerable to pollution.

The stakes are too high to wait: we need to impeach Trump now. I’ll be speaking at the Remove the Regime rally in Washington, DC this Saturday. I hope to see you there! @flareusa.bsky.social @removalcoalition.bsky.social

#GVerse #KingResist #Unite #FBaRmy Kristi Noem has told everyone that there are no U.S citizens being detained or deported & that’s a Blatant Lie like most of what comes out of her mouth. This is just a very short list of U.S. citizens that have been detained since January.

It was an honor for MK and me to meet with Pope Leo XIV – a son of Illinois – to express the pride and reverence of the people of this great state. Pope Leo XIV’s message of hope, compassion, unity, and peace resonates with Illinoisans of all faiths and traditions.

KAMALA IN NASHVILLE: “Why am I here in Tennessee? Because the power is in the south. I know that.” @kamalaharris.com firing up Dems at an @aftynbehn.bsky.social rally for the TN-7 special election.

Stauber voted against this project he’s now taking credit for, as Republicans do constantly.

You may not be able to afford rent and groceries, and your health insurance may be about to skyrocket in 42 days, but the good news is that the Saudis got F-35s, nuclear tech, and security guarantees after putting hundreds of millions in Trump’s pocket.

Your daily reminder that Trump only protects/defends/supports/cares about people who pledge their allegiance to him.

🇺🇦 Air Defence shot down or suppressed: ▪️442/476 strike UAVs; ▪️34/40 Kh-101 cruise missiles; ▪️7/7 "Kalibr" cruise missiles; ▪️0/1 "Iskander-M" ballistic missile. 7 missiles and 34 strike UAVs have been recorded hitting 14 locations and fragments have fallen in 6 locations.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: In Ternopil, nine-story residential buildings were hit, fires broke out. Unfortunately, there is significant destruction of buildings, and people may be under the rubble. As of now, dozens of injured are known and, unfortunately, nine people have died.

😡 The State Emergency Service also showed footage of the consequences of the Russian attack on Kharkiv.

‼️ Approximate route of Russian UAVs and missiles during massive attack on Ukraine!

🧵😲 A DANGEROUS CRIMINAL is loaded onto an Avelo jet (N803XT) at Seattle's Boeing Field 👀

DUM DEE DUM DUM DUMMMM!

“50,000 ICE goons in, 300,000 people out, including people who cure cancer, help learning disabled kids get through school, protect our National Parks, ensure your Social Security comes on time, and care for veterans.”

🚨 I will never look away. Neither should you. This is what ICE is doing. They are not police, they are untrained, morally bankrupt monsters. This cannot go on. We need to organize for these children. They may have weapons and power, but we see this. This is fuel. 1/2

Fox News describes Trump's greeting of MBS, which included a military flyover, as "a welcome like no other that we've seen at our White House for the leader of Saudi Arabia"

Two Ukrainian citizens working for Russia are suspected of blowing up a railway line in Poland over the weekend, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said.

Mark Epstein (Jeffrey’s brother): “The reason they’re gonna be releasing these things, the reason for the flip is that they’re sanitizing these files. There’s a facility in Winchester, Virginia where they’re scrubbing the files to take Republican names out”

Prepare for next week! We’re NOT SHOPPING!!!

www.theatlantic.com/politics/202... He's definitely a really great con artist

So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism. Got it.

What actually happened is the UN Security Council adopted the US plan to end the war in Gaza and to setup a multi-national stabilization force in the Palestinian region. Yamtits decided to name the overseers the “Board of Peace” and declared himself the chairman.

How does someone get picked up by ICE perfectly healthy and 8 months later get deported back with unexplained surgical scars and then dead? What kind of monstrous experiments are going on with ICE & DHS? @wired.com @maddow.msnbc.com @meidastouch.com @motherjones.com @muellershewrote.com

Tired: "Great Depression" Wired: "quiet time in the labor market"

As @mcopelov.bsky.social is known to say, "Who actually was president in 2020?" continues to be the central cleavage of American politics in 20205. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

If it's Customs and Border Protection in Charlotte, they are outside of their 100-mile radius from international waterways. Therefore, they have no legal jurisdiction. Advocacy groups should take note and file suit!

She has ambition and he is standing in the way of that. She is a destroyer. This won’t end well for either one, so the best thing to do is make it worse. Suggest she is leading a GOP insurrection against him. Talk about what good friends she is with Cruz. Goad him with rumors.

#Onthisday November 17, 1991, over 1,600 African American women placed an ad in the New York Times in response to the treatment of Anita Hill, during the confirmation hearings of Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas.

Nice shiny new college degree you got there, kid. Be a shame if you use it to try to get a job….

Watching these videos of Trump a he prepares to come back to DC is almost like watching storm clouds gather. The hurricane of bullshit is on its way back for another week. Monday is nearly here.
