Invoking "color revolutions" as a boogeyman like this really goes to show how much these guys have cooked their brains on Russian propaganda specifically.

While Witkoff is en route to Moscow for peace talks with Putin, Russia fired a ballistic missile at the Ukrainian city of Dnipro overnight. Emergency officials say more than 40 people were wounded; death toll stands at 4.

Epstein emailed Bannon “Btw Im in New York tonite thru sat , if you want to visit under the cover of darkness or breakfast tomorrow if you like.” Bannon apparently did like, but requested “access that’s not the front door.” www.thebulwark.com/p/steve-bann...

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders. What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

OTD in 1991 Ukrainians, including those in Crimea, voted overwhelmingly for independence from USSR. I don't like that vote result, so I am changing the voters and having new votes.

Vigil planned for this afternoon in wake of shooting that killed four and wounded 11 people.

New Jersey's senior Senator Corey Booker married Alexis Lewis Congratulations to the happy couple 🥂🍾 www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...

Pope Leo XIV told reporters on Sunday that a two-state resolution is the ‘only solution’ for Israel-Palestine, reiterating the Vatican’s position. The Pope made the comments on a flight to Lebanon for the last leg of his first overseas trip as Catholic leader.

College Student Is Deported During Trip Home to Surprise Parents for Thanksgiving The vast majority of Americans don’t want this cruelty. Even those who voted for tougher enforcement of immigration laws weren’t voting for this. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/u...

“Prayers for everyone. My heart breaks for these families.”

The New York Times reports on how David Sacks is using his position as the White House’s AI czar to benefit his investments and those of his friends. While this sounds like conflict of interest, there’s an old Silicon Valley VC saying - “No conflict. No interest.” Corruption is just good business.

This was handed in for a PSYCH CLASS & when the prof said she didn't use empirical sources but rather submitted op-ed she whined about religious liberty + prof got suspended. I was a *Religious Studies* major; in my time she would have been rightly BBQ'd had she dared to hand in this absolute drek.

Absolute debasement of academic standards *student submits opinion in psych class *gets bad grade *instructor says she can make whatever arguments she wants but must draw on empirical sources *student & Turning Point says her religious freedom & first amendment rights violated *professor suspended

Trump continually overturns the decisions of American citizen juries. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/n...

I'm a single-issue voter and that issue is investigating and prosecuting Jared Kushner for what is sure to be a whole lot of illegal business investments and the use of state secrets to line his pockets.

Sounds like coolly calculated contempt to me.

Newspaper headlines when your country is run by a racist and criminal enterprise.

Release the MRI results.

“He once boasted that he would “stuff the drugs up the gringos’ noses.” He accepted a $1 million bribe from El Chapo to allow cocaine shipments to pass through Honduras.” Now Trump set him free. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/n...

When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

Trump is invading American cities to nominally address crime, and I think the scale of his pardon-sprees should be given more political salience

News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.

An ICE GOON launched a car into the air and crashed it into the second floor of a building. Waitsfield, Vermont.

Wait so there are Peter Thiel-backed landlocked seasteading libertarian cities that the current Honduras govt wants to get rid of that Roger Stone has been advocating for that JOH also supports? And Stone has also been advocating for JOH 's pardon? www.nytimes.com/2024/08/28/m...

There is no doubt that Hegseth has ordered our troops to commit war crimes. He fired all the TJAGs his first week for a reason. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

ICE is using Uber stickers in order to disguise themselves and kidnap people. Spread this for awareness!

David Gentile reported to prison on Nov 14 to begin a 7-yr sentence for what prosecutors described as a $1.6B scheme that defrauded thousands of victims. Trump commuted Gentile's sentence 12 days later, freeing him from prison. We still don't know exactly how much Gentile paid for his pardon or how.

💥German Chancellor Friedrich Merz confirmed that Viktor Orbán travelled to Vladimir Putin without an EU mandate or consulting European leaders. He added that Orbán’s last trip in 2024 wasn’t just a failure — it was followed by one of Russia’s most intense strikes.

A white supremacist regime dedicated to erasing the contributions of black Americans. Onyx Impact, an organization that documents racial discrimination and censorship, reports that under Trump 591 books by black authors are forbidden in schools and libraries of the Pentagon (h/t @vreij.bsky.social)

#Trump allowed 17 members of the Sinaloa cartel into the US. In May he commuted the 6x life sentences of the leader of the Gangster Disciples, most notorious drug trafficking & murderous street gang in the US. Now Honduran drug trafficker Hernandez. Is #Trump setting up his own drug corridor?

When he’s gone, I know there will be a lot to do, but can we make sure the living rose garden gets restored? Started. Going.

Trumps entrance to We Are the World, the song produced specifically to raise money to fight famine in Africa, is the biggest middle finger to anyone not in that ballroom — f’ing disgusting. He cut USAID and burned 500 tons of food. The projected death toll from his cruel policies are unimaginable.

Elisabeth Yoder’s 15-month-old son had a serious bacterial infection, and doctors urged his mother to take an ambulance to treat him 40 minutes away. The bill came to $9,250.

The PM of Trinidad and Tobago is a bit Trumpy, and her country was an early test case for Cambridge Analytica. Former Trump tower denizen (and super corrupt FIFA official) Jack Warner, who later became the country’s National Security Minister from 2010-2013, lives there under extradition threat.

Latinas in the U.S. are using twin braids with colorful ribbons as a symbol of resistance against immigration raids. This traditional hairstyle, rooted in Mexican culture, represents resilience and identity.

600 ICE agents were supposed to be deployed to Canal Street. Hundreds of New Yorkers gathered instead. Quick summary by me:

ICE still FROZEN at Centre St & Howard in lower Manhattan right now as calls continue circulating for people to join. NYPD arriving with barricades.

Trump's standing with the public has taken a huge hit in the past few months. He's now regularly polling in the 30s. And their big play to reverse this decline? War in Venezuela - and that's even more unpopular than his handling of inflation. 4/

Four polls in recent days now have Trump in the 30s, with 3 at 35%-36%: 2/ 35%-62% (-27) ARG 35%-56% (-21) High Point University 36%-60% (-24) Gallup 38%-57% (-19) Econ/YouGov Again, Trump just keeps dropping. bsky.app/profile/simo...

NYC: ICE is staging at Centre and Howard St. Get down there if you can.

Look, every single “deal” reached by a university with the Trump administration is a moral stain that will be seen with deep embarrassment once we’re through this. But for Northwestern to do this now, when the administration is visibly weakened, is even more shameful and inexcusable.

This is one advantage of having the historical memory of authoritarianism, as I have from Brazil: you know that, when the regime is gone, the people who collaborated and acquiesced look terrible in retrospect. It may look reasonable and justifiable now, but believe me, it will age like milk.

Five-byline alert: 🚨 “.. the full scope of [Witkoff’s talks] went much further, according to people familiar .. They were privately charting a path to bring Russia’s $2 trillion economy in from the cold—with American businesses first in line .. to the dividends. 🇺🇦 www.wsj.com/world/russia...

Ukrainian “Sea Baby” maritime drones struck two sanctioned tankers of the russian terrorist state, the “Kayro” and the “Virat”, in the Black Sea. This was a joint operation of the Security Service of Ukraine and the Ukrainian navy. Good hunting!

As you're enjoying turkey with your family, think of Any Lucia Lopez Belloza. 19 years old, freshman in college, about to board a flight home to join her family for Thanksgiving. Detained by ICE, then deported in *direct violation* of a judge's order. abcnews.go.com/US/19-year-c...

Hegseth's not the only war criminal here. "The [USSOCOM] commander overseeing the operation from Fort Bragg in North Carolina, Adm. Frank M. 'Mitch' Bradley, told people on the secure conference call that the survivors were still legitimate targets... He ordered the second strike."
