The Trump-Vance administration grabbed a single father of 6 who’s been in the country for 34 years as he was dropping his children off at school & deported him.

When Musk says he's going to build colonies on Mars, remember he also said, “I think we can [save] at least $2tn” by cutting gov't costs. He didn't know what he was talking about then. And about Mars, he doesn't now. tinyurl.com/73y7bdmv 🧪🔭📰

Mary Sheffield was sworn in as Detroit’s 76th mayor, becoming the first woman to hold the office in the city's 324-year history

Whitehouse: "They’re being given a benefit and those benefits seem only to be going towards groups that are affiliated with Trump and Maga. It’s basically a direct way to use this public facility to put money into the pockets of groups that are allied.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

"He appears to want a tent big enough for bigots but too small for critical race theorists." Excellent @victorerikray.bsky.social piece. www.liberalcurrents.com/a-tent-big-e...

I remember maybe three or four years ago someone introduced me to yarvin and said among other things that what makes him so dangerous is he’s really steeped in history and philosophy. Sophisticated stuff. So I read some stuff and well, no. This is the stuff you say after you read one thing …

He should give it a shot first bsky.app/profile/cnn....

It happened again: The Trump administration has admitted illegally deporting a man to Guatemala despite an immigration judge's order that he was likely to be tortured there. A judge has ordered the administration to facilitate his return by next week.storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It turns out that Dollar General and Family Dollar routinely overcharge people—their advertised price tags are fictions. These are the only stores in many small towns. Scam culture. It's all scam culture. On this matter, Democrats should run on audits and serious fines for overcharging.

“She showed up as scheduled, and when she arrived, officers were asking everyone what country they were from, and if they said a certain country, they were told to step out of line and that their oath ceremonies were canceled.” www.wgbh.org/news/local/2... @gbhnews.bsky.social

Bill Cassidy specialized in treating liver diseases as a doctor he set up nonprofits to vaccinate kids in Louisiana against hep B he knows exactly what this disease does, he spent much of his life fighting against it, and he knew exactly what RFK was when he voted for him he has no excuse at all

to the extent that there is any public health policy left, it’s “if you can afford to survive without and/or despite the federal government, go for it, and we’ll see you on the other side of mass death”

The very first winner....Sksksksks Bro, this is just pathetic and sad.

The Republican hacks on SCOTUS start with whatever ruling will help their fellow Republican partisans and lazily work backwards from there, barely offering an excuse for their egregious hackery. John Roberts keeps complaining no one respects them. Yeah, because we’re actually paying attention.

All Constitutional Law courses are hereby renamed WTF LOL 101

Great story

This is what government censorship actually looks like: defunding entire fields, deporting researchers, and quite effectively chilling speech that helps people understand how our information systems are being exploited and calls out powerful people and platforms for their bullshit.

This is the way. Lower courts need to just start saying it, SCOTUS rulings are not correct, ignore them.

As the district court noted, the Trump admin and Texas Republican lawmakers _said_ that they were acting on the basis of race. They said so openly and plainly. Are fact-finders in the lower courts seriously supposed to plug their ears and say “I can’t hear you”?

What's changed is that the Court has become more transparent in its corruption. There's not even an argument here beyond the implicit one which is: how do you expect us to hold the House without those seats?

The Republican Supreme Court justices believe that facts have a liberal bias

The CEOs of Ford and Stellantis, as well as senior executives from other auto manufacturers, standing beside him while Trump goes off on another vicious racist rant about African immigrants. Not one of them had the courage or the dignity to walk away. bsky.app/profile/just...

galloway doesn't care about helping men. he cares about helping patriarchy, because patriarchy means rule by rich white cishet guys like scott galloway.

Bernie Moreno, who is saying here that Republicans are the party of the working class & that Democrats are the party of millionaires & billionaires, is a millionaire who owned a luxury car dealership & used taxpayer resources for a joyride in his $3.4 million Aston Martin.

‼️ I said this about the current Supreme Court and some people looked at me crazy but I stand by it as I believe I said at the time they're doing antebellum shit well post-bellum

This is racist and dangerous. Last I checked, Somalians are Black and Rep. Omar is a colleague. Where are the @housedemocrats.bsky.social? The @blackcaucus.bsky.social ? Do not allow these insults to go unanswered.

I've been saying for the better part of a year that Trump is on a mission to decriminalize corruption. To make it the legal equivalent of jaywalking. I feel that more strongly now than I ever had.

a load-bearing component of “the magic of Christmas” is the invisible domestic labor of moms you are now realizing how much she was doing for you and instead of just thanking her you’ve decided it’s about the decline of civilization

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars. She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

We're doing pogroms in America now

America is a country that will test UBI hundreds of times, get the same radically positive results each time, and still look at it askance, but will also put untested robotaxis on the road because a billionaire threw a shit fit.

It’s useful to think about things like this in numbers of tenure track professors. $33M is 358 assistant professors. Or about fourteen percent of the total number of full-time faculty at Michigan State.

LSU is paying its previous football coach over $50 million NOT to coach there while likely guaranteeing Kiffin something approaching double that, all while having an academic hiring freeze and budget cuts across the board. What is the purpose of a university (rhetorical)?

Why did I get an collector style email from @spsanews.bsky.social saying my membership renewal is "outstanding"? I didn't plan on and don't wish to renew right now. I certainly don't "owe" them $. And deffo not planning on renewing it now.

The Trump DOJ played down the risk of deploying the National Guard to DC, despite warnings, and now one of them is dead. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

A good example of my point is global governments deciding they can’t possibly maintain mail service when many of them were doing day and night post runs when men were on horseback. They want you to believe this is some new intractable problem that they can’t put a letter in the same bag as parcels

It’s useful to think about things like this in numbers of tenure track professors. $53M is 575 assistant professors. Or more than thirty percent of the total number of full-time faculty at LSU.

The magnitude of the change over time is striking. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

After a speeding semitruck killed his son, Gary Wilburn and his wife spent decades advocating for mandated speed limiters in trucks. DOT proposed a rule to do just that. Then Trump appointees stepped in, killing the proposed regulation.

Homeland Security doesn’t grasp the fact that the first Thanksgiving was about making “room at the table” for European “invaders.”

Not wanting to disappoint you so much that it lies is the last quality I want in a computer.

Jamal Hinton and Grandma Wanda officially celebrate Thanksgiving together for a 10th year. 🦃

people are angry that chatbots are being thrust on them; that the industry is unregulated; that it’s deskilling young people; is being used as a weapon against labor and popular gAI is built on theft of the work of millions of artists and authors. You don’t get to demand civility.

i have never been less surprised by anything in my life. i am unsurprised. i am negative surprised.

In the last ten years, the number of billionaires in the US has nearly doubled and their collective wealth has nearly tripled. Their political contributions makeup an increasing share of campaign funding. Great reporting from @washingtonpost.com with data from @opensecrets.org wapo.st/49wZtQF

I was looking at protest photos from NC and if this isn’t the shadiest, most southern ass sign… I love you, Durham!
