Rep Pramila Jayapal: "Remember the militarized raid on a Chicago apartment building in the middle of the night where agents rappelled from helicopters and zip-tied sobbing children? It has resulted in ZERO criminal charges two months later. The cruelty, chaos, and fear are the point."

This convicted thug brought more than 400 tons of cocaine into the US. That vastly exceeds the annual seizures by individual countries or even large-scale international ops. The record crop in Colombia alone was estimated to be enough to make about 1,500 tons of cocaine annually. Trump Pardons

"The agreement places no restrictions on our transgender community." Except whether they can play sports, where they can use the bathroom or locker room, what kind of housing they can live in, and what healthcare they can receive.

Stephen Miller is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. His great-grandparents inhabited the Pale of Settlement (western Russia where Jews were allowed to live) and escaped Russian pogroms and the Holocaust. All the same racist, xenophobic, ignorant things he is saying were said about his own family.

"My poll numbers have never been better."

If you needed any further proof that the anti-DEI stance = racism. If you're not white, they simply do not care. They do not want you to exist.

This would be a war crime even if there were an actual war and these people were actual combatants, which there isn't and they weren't. It's unquestionably an unlawful homicide under any form of law you wish to apply: military or civilian, domestic or international, federal or state. ...

Flat-out murder by any reasonable definition you can come up with.

Would this have happened to a white resident? Asking for the First Nations.

Your periodic reminder that Stephen Miller’s family came to this country seeking asylum from Russian pogroms. He quite literally owes his existence to America’s benevolence toward immigrants. There is an unfathomably hot corner of hell specifically reserved for this man.

Probably not ideal to publish a long piece on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving… Would you help me spread the word? I wrote about some persistent myths regarding what’s happening in American society and politics we desperately need to discard:

The Myth of a Rightward Realignment Let’s discard some stubborn misconceptions about Trump’s support and what happened in the 2024 election that are obscuring our understanding of a profound de-alignment of the established order. New piece:

In this piece, I tackle three myths / building blocks of the misleading “realignment” narrative: The idea that U.S. society moved right in accordance with the broader outlines of Trumpism’s vision; that Trump is the tribune of the working class; that he is building a stable multiracial coalition.

If and when Trump leaves the scene, the country will still face a daunting task: Who can channel the disruptive political energies of a society in which the established institutions have lost the people’s trust into a (small-d) democratic direction?

1. It would appear that in recent reporting, the BBC is now using the phrase "biological male who identifies as a woman" when they mean to talk about a transgender woman. This is an incredibly demeaning way to talk about transgender women in news pieces. Subscribe to support our journalism.

MAHA my ass.

Everything is going well

the Doug Mills video embedded in the NYT Trump aging story is pretty amazing

Miss Piggy FTW

🧵Trump’s State Department has declared abortion, DEI, and LGBTQ+ rights “human rights violations” “Countries ensuring their citizens have human rights are infringing human rights.” This is the new guidance sent to every embassy and consulate. The classic paradox of white supremacy.

This is the Trump doctrine in a nutshell: Oppression is liberty. Equality is tyranny. Human rights are whatever Trump says they are. It is fanaticism wrapped in the American flag, and Trump is now imposing it on the entire world.

The "acceptable debate" according to Bari Weiss.

Manny is an 18-year-old U.S. citizen from North Carolina. On November 19, 2025, masked, armed ICE agents harassed and detained him while he slept in his work truck - even though he'd done nothing wrong.

A video surfaced showing the brutalization of community members by ICE and the St. Paul, Minnesota PD after ICE abducted two of their neighbors. As a result of the chemical munitions and police beatings, eight people, including a journalist, were hospitalized. 11/25/25

Three things about the Witkoff tapes: 1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia. 2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea. 3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

Republican Rep. Don Bacon calls for Witkoff to be fired. May it be the first call of many. Witkoff needs to go, now.

What a topsy-turvy time we live in.

Today, St. Paul police and federal goons collaborated to pepper spray a woman using a cane.

9. European & Ukrainian leaders have protested, but hardly enough. Europe needs to stand up for Ukraine: take over all financing, deliver all the arms Ukraine needs & ignore not very helpful Trump. Zelensky should not allow Trump to insult him again! Don't go to the US!

Average electricity cost increase since Jan: Missouri ⬆️ 37% Iowa ⬆️ 30% North Dakota ⬆️ 30% Oklahoma ⬆️ 30% New Jersey ⬆️ 27% Nebraska ⬆️ 25% Montana ⬆️ 25% Wyoming ⬆️ 23% NATIONWIDE ⬆️ 11% Instead of working to lower costs, Trump is boosting power-hungry AI data centers.

Given the Trump administration's rampant white supremacy, the James Comey dismissal may very well prove to be the only thing Trump accomplishes "without prejudice."

Except in America where you can get elected president for plotting a coup. American exceptionalism at its finest.

1. After the shutdown fight, Republicans promised Democrats a vote on extending enhanced ACA subsidies, which cover 20 million Americans. Now, new reporting shows that Republican negotiators want to make a trans funding ban a requirement for the extension. Subscribe to support our journalism.

8. When asked for comment, Rep Sarah McBride stated, “There is nothing Republicans like more than cutting people’s health care, and that’s especially true for care for transgender people. Attacks on gender affirming care are dangerous and discriminatory."

9. "As I’ve done alongside my Democratic colleagues throughout this Congress, I’ll continue to fight back against any efforts to cut my constituents’ health care. Transgender people—like all Americans—deserve the health care they need to live and thrive."

War of aggression, mass killing of civilians, and settler colonialism

The Trump administration is ordering the State Department to label countries with abortion access, LGBTQ+ protections, DEI policies, and even hate-speech safeguards as human rights violators.

“Donald Trump is a sociopath. Donald Trump is evil. Donald Trump is trying to destroy democracy because he only thinks of himself. These things are all inescapably true”

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics. It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT. It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse. Transgender care saves lives.

2. In the last year, many pseudoscientific organizations and anti-transgender activists have worked to prop up misleading claims to imply that gender-affirming care is ineffective or dangerous. Now, a new study completely contradicts that narrative - it actually saves lives.

3. The study was conducted in a midwestern youth gender clinic for a major hospital system. It was likely in a state that banned care, as the bans stopped the study from being able to continue. Data was collected at initiation of HRT and at follow up, ranging from an average of 2 to 5 years later.

4. Just seven discontinued hormone therapy, and the researchers note that of those who stopped HRT, only four did so because their gender identity had shifted. Even then, those four continued to identify as “gender diverse,” not reverting to a cisgender identity.

5. These findings mirror a similar study at a pediatric clinic in Australia, which used comparable methods and sample size and found that only two of 552 patients discontinued hormone therapy after initiation. www.erininthemorning.com/p/groundbrea...

6. Importantly, the study found that gender-affirming care is likely lifesaving. While the authors do not present the result as a percentage, suicidality scores fell from 0.46 to 0.15—a roughly 68 percent decline—after patients were on gender-affirming hormones at follow-up.

7. Researchers note that the real impact may be even larger: 30 patients had already undergone puberty suppression before starting hormones and had likely experienced some benefits. Likewise, many patients started at 0, likely reflecting an initial improvement at merely being able to access it.
