Trump envoy Steve Witkoff has been outed as a Russian asset. This is traitorous stuff.

Republicans and Democrats warn Witkoff ‘cannot be trusted’ after reportedly advising officials on peace plan

Once again…

Meanwhile, we have a chance to flip #TN07 on December 2nd... a new poll that just came out shows this race is within the margin of error. No wonder why the GOP are panicking on this race. It just makes us want to work really hard in the final stretch of this election race. bsky.app/profile/djso...

"We invented phonetic writing so we could put our sounds down on paper and, by glancing at a page, hear someone speaking in our head—an invention that became so widespread in the last few thousand years that we hardly ever stop to consider how astonishing it is." -Carl Sagan, Billions & Billions

@evelyn.northsky.team talked about @transrights.northsky.social, a group of web developers and community moderators working to build a digital space designed around active moderation and user safety, specifically for people from marginalized groups. vimeo.com/1140709811?s...

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵

Food loss & waste is a huge issue, when ~40% of the world's food is never eaten. That means that ~40% of the world's agricultural land, water, chemical inputs, and greenhouse gases *weren't even necessary* to feed the world. And much of this waste ends up in landfills, where it releases methane.

“But it is not just the conquest of nations that prosecutors will show was pre-planned. They will soon reveal how propaganda was used… to lay out how they eventually induced people to think that the evil that they were being asked to participate in was virtue of some kind.” youtu.be/u7eVxAw7MPc?...

Brazil's ex-President Bolsanaro ordered to serve 27-year prison sentence over coup plot https://www.axios.com/2025/11/26/jail-brazil-president-prison-bolsanaro-coup https://www.axios.com/2025/11/26/jail-brazil-president-prison-bolsanaro-coup

Good grief.

The truth is that the sentence wasn’t inaccurate – it was removed because of legal fears. And that’s exactly the concern my lecture raises: when institutions start censoring themselves out of fear of those in power. /3

‘The chill wind from the White House is already rippling through New Broadcasting House.’ @lewisgoodall.com reacts after the BBC edited out an anti-Trump line from a historian’s lecture.

“…trial testimony reveals shocking new details about World War II and the inner workings of the Nazi war machine.” youtube.com/watch?v=u7eV...

Considering how much has been changed in the past ten months, I want to hear Merrick Garland's arguments again as to why Trump couldn't have been tried and sent to prison in four years. Actually, I don't want to hear from him ever again.

"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them"

Quite amazing to be reminded how good the CBC can be--and @mattgalloway.bsky.social is a truly gifted interviewer, who knows when to listen and when to press

NEWS: Democrats could move one step closer to flipping the House next week. In Tennessee's 7th Congressional district, the Democrat Aftyn Behn, has narrowed the gap from 22 points to just 4. I just spoke to her: youtu.be/iGFQe7zMs-8

It's never too late to learn something new. It's never too late to read dusty books of dark magic. It's never too late to weave a cloak of moss, feathers, and thorns and become the horror that haunts the forest north of town.

This is fucked up! For years US police, sheriffs and federal agents, including the FBI, ICE, and Homeland Security, have been flown to Israel for training in surveillance, racial profiling, crowd control, detention, and deportation. Is the IDF helping ICE now in the US? truthout.org/articles/ice...

ICE is using a new app called Mobile Fortify to scan people's faces and determine their immigration status. The government's use of biased, unreliable facial recognition tech to supercharge its mass deportation campaign endangers all of our rights.

Breaking: The six Democrats now confirmed they've been contacted by the FBI. The lawmakers accuse Trump of using the FBI "as a tool to intimidate and harass members of Congress."

"Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love." - Gandalf the Grey #MindfulMonday #Hope

I hate MAGA from the core of my being. I am a White cis/het man, but they will still come after me if they get the chance. Just like their Nazi idols MAGA targets the neurodivergent. Every ICE agent needs to go to prison for crimes like this:

Kyiv is under missile attack. It’s very loud. Nothing new, really. Just thought the world should know.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired. If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Viola Ford Fletcher, who as one of the last survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre in Oklahoma spent her later years seeking justice for the deadly attack by a white mob on the thriving Black community where she lived as a child, has died. She was 111. https://to.pbs.org/43OHYaQ

After two weeks of #COP30 negotiations, countries agreed to BEGIN DISCUSSIONS on fossil fuel phase out. And as the article says, "they achieved this incremental progress only in the teeth of implacable opposition from oil-producing countries." THIS is the problem with requiring unanimous decisions.

It wasn’t frustration — it was the same misogynistic cruelty he’s shown for decades. From Epstein to Access Hollywood to 20+ assault claims, the pattern is unmistakable. And MTG may not have found politics’ Jesus. She maybe trying to be the future messiah to MAGA. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Ditto Farage.

A marketing presentation from one online gun retailer betrayed no consideration of the consequences that may arise if digital marketing tactics are applied in a widespread way to the selling of firearms and ammunition. Story ↓
