Trump's clemency proclamation on Day 1 of his 2nd tour included "all defendents accused or convicted of 'offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.'" This jerk's lawyers will probably seize on that, and he'll probably win. 🤬 #ProudBlue

Elon Musk is worse at hiding it but this is the problem with all billionaires: they are a threat to democratic governance. They have an insatiable need to own and control everything. If you want to be free you have to curb their power, and demand political leaders who understand that

Magnitude 7 earthquake strikes Yakutat, Alaska region, USGS says reut.rs/4iNCnrG

These supporters of murder are moral freaks and it is important to say so

Elon Musk is a global enemy to democracy.

As awful as this, the focus on whether the woman was complying obscures the more important issue: in a democracy, there should not be armed agents demanding to see papers of every passing person.

Has any police chief anywhere issued an order like this yet?

On left: President Trump Statement Sept. 2, 2025: "The strike occurred while the terrorists were at sea in international waters transporting illegal narcotics, heading to the United States." On right: (Under penalty of law) military leaders told Congress headed to Suriname.

Blatant lawlessness from Kristi Noem.

When everyone knows it's probably Grandpa's last Christmas so everyone makes a big deal about him

Rep. Grijalva says she was pepper-sprayed by ICE

A court with a normal-ish conservative majority would have been tolerable. I'm not eager for court packing, impeaching justices, and other such options. But this court sticking around post-Trump is untenable. They've already torched their own legitimacy, the only question is what do we do about it.

Hello. I’d like to report a war crime.

Make Train Wrecks Great Again.

The first step toward reforming an institution like SCOTUS is exposing its corruption. The goal is to discredit it enough so that politicians feel compelled to act. These district court rulings do just that, in a very visceral way.

I'm sorry, what?????

Stancil is absolutely right here.

This belongs in American Canto

The theocratic right considers the First Amendment and freedom of religion to be “cultural suicide.”

I mean this is straight up white supremacy:

"The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday."

Yeah, there is not even any conception of anyone being held accountable after we watched basically no one held accountable for 9/11, 2008, Epstein, or two failed wars.

NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY DROPPED There is a LOT here, but omg NATO allies are going to seethe at this paragraph www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

Court records, police reports and family text chains reviewed by WBUR reveal a bitter custody battle, years-old allegations of a threat to call immigration authorities, and concerns for the well-being of the child when his mother was staying in a vacant mansion.

Supporting Supreme Court expansion is pretty close to a litmus test for me for a 2028 Democratic candidate.

Publishing all the other boat murder videos but refusing to release the one of the two survivors being killed is an admission they know exactly how bad it looks. There's no other distinction to draw there, no reason to publish the others while withholding that one.

I'm struggling to articulate this in my teaching: there is a point in preserving the ideals of avoiding fear or favor and exercising reasoned judgment in law, even if they have to be kept in exile

Scoop: FBI aims to escalate its inquiry into 6 Democrats who made video for troops by pressing domestic terrorism squad to launch a formal seditious conspiracy investigation. Washington Field Office leaders are pushing back b/c they don't see a crime. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

Texas clearly did a racial gerrymander, which is illegal. A district court found that Texas did a racial gerrymander, rejecting the new map because it is illegal. But the Supreme Court reversed it. Because? Must assume the gerrymanderers were acting in good faith (despite the evidence otherwise).

This is a message from an official, tax-payer funded White House account, written by government employees barred by law from engaging in partisan politics

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

First boat strike in 19 days, coinciding with a big congressional briefing today. 11 of the past 15 strikes have occurred in the eastern Pacific. Sheer unadulterated horror. www.wola.org/2025/11/us-m...

Yeah, a House member needs to send up that impeachment flag. This is illegal, immoral, dangerous behavior — that is also likely unconstitutional as well.

To trivialize this as a "sex scandal" is, in the kindest construction, myopic. A high status journalist (inter alia) sat on highly incriminating information about the guy currently bringing measles and whooping cough back as head of HHS!

The Bay took over the highway during this morning's #KingTides in Marin.

My biggest concern for the future is that Dems are not going to have the stomach to impose the necessary level of harsh consequences on as many people as will need them, because the NYT, Matt Yglesias types, and billionaire-owned media will bitch about it.

U.S. citizens.

just to drive home the point. Texas created this map in August. the lower court rendered its decision November. So three months later, a year before the election in question.

Im starting to believe they are fully willing to let Texas gerrymander for political advantage on the basis of race but slap down CA’s doing do for purely, explicitly political reasons

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting. Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

SOUTHCOM announces another boat strike. Notable that the Pentagon carried out this strike on the same day that Adm. Bradley appeared before members of Congress to defend the Sep. 2 strike.

As Justice Kagan begins her dissent by pointing out, what is even the point of trial, of fact-finding, of clear error, of standards of review, when the Supreme Court simply ignores every single part of that and decides everything purely on the papers without any real consideration of the facts?

The whole play of Trumpism: convincing working class people to blame other working class people—so billionaires can keep robbing us all.

A member of the House Republican caucus said this. Oh. So things are BAD bad.

BREAKING: Trump administration plans to end prison rape protections for trans & intersex people, memo says. A DOJ memo says certain standards under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) do not align with Trump’s Jan. 20 anti-trans executive order, @byadamrhodes.bsky.social reports.

A Utah university gives a visiting Native American speaker a list of words she is forbidden to utter. Censorship, Utah GOP style. www.sltrib.com/news/educati...

Zuckerberg is going to his grave as the guy who broke tens of millions of millennial, GenX, and Boomer brains, facilitated a couple of genocides, bought Instagram on the cheap and let WhatsApp flourish, but beyond that he is one of the worst capital allocators of all time.
