Religion note: Remember that pastor who was arrested protesting an ICE detention facility outside Chicago recently? The one who was photographed on the ground as officers arrested him? That's Rev. Michael Woolf, and this is his church.

incredible to see the U.S. right echoing the Chinese Communist Party.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - US appeals court rules former Trump lawyer Alina Habba disqualified as New Jersey prosecutor. @apnews.com

ICE detained a Kurdish asylum seeker the day before his wife became a U.S. citizen: “We were following every letter of the law." blockclubchi.co/49MjNxC

“violent fantasy became an obsession, according to former Trump administration officials…“Fucking kill them all,” Trump would say. “An eye for an eye.” Other times he’d snap at his staff: “You just got to kill these people…Other countries do it all the time.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The standard you walk past is the standard you accept

The only reason to go kill the survivors and lie about it is because you knew the boat wasn’t carrying drugs

Tump confesses to using an autopen —

ohhhhhhhhh Gosh I appreciate @meidastouch.com

It's not often that "simple morality" and "effective politics" line up so perfectly, but we have to hope DC's Democrats are smart enough to seize the moment with both hands

Also, Hegseth is coming for Sen. Mark Kelly because he reminded troops that they have a duty not to commit crimes *like this one* Making an appropriately big deal out of this blunts that attack and demonstrates the need for what Kelly and company did.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes. If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

This. Publicize what these people said. Publicize that they asked soldiers to abide by the Constitution and disobey illegal commands. The meaning of what's happening with these demands from DJT needs to be crystal clear.

Note—every time a Federal judge rules against Trump, Trump claims "the judge is usurping the President's power." That's a lie. Judge's don't "usurp" POTUS's power—they enforce Constitutional & Congressional limits on power. Wannabe kings don't like it, but that's how separation of powers works.

you know, there are ways to fulfill your humiliation kink in an ethical fashion rather than whatever this is

If you're wondering why a large chunk of ostensibly left-of-center pundits are waging war on environmental protections in the form of an "abundance agenda," it's because Silicon Valley has quietly developed a culture of rampant pollution.

Back in 2018, Khashoggi was lured into the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul, where a 15-person team led by a close associate of Prince Mohammed drugged, murdered and dismembered Khashoggi with a bone saw.

The Trump administration cancelled the clinical trial for my cancer treatment and now I'll be dead in six months. But I'll die happy knowing that the kids at Oberlin won't be given trigger warnings anymore.

EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: my staff is releasing a new report showing JPMorgan Chase executives – all the way to the top – enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation. You're going to want to read this.

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke. IG bscomedian

Yeah bsky.app/profile/numb...

The internet allowed every village idiot to find each other online, instead of being siloed into obscurity

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

finding out recently that almost all the words in the dictionary are not IP and are in fact open source/public domain was an absolute game changer for me as a writer

I’m howling.

And THERE it is

Q: I'm confused because the bill specifically says 'the AG may withhold or redact portions related to child sex abuse materials.' The survivors are comfortable with that. These things are actually in this bill. JOHNSON: They're not Q: It's up to the AG J: No it's not! We're not making this up

AOC's former chief of staff @saikatforcongress.bsky.social is running to replace Nancy Pelosi, and says it's not enough to push current Dems to the left - they have to be replaced. Listen on Spotify: interc.pt/48831GB Apple: interc.pt/3JQTSKx Elsewhere: interc.pt/47XE4O2

When you're a good man, they let you do anything. You can just reach right out and protect them.

you can't make me learn what "cloudflare" is. I shouldn't have to know these things. I have a sensitive artistic spirit

Deport this fucking illegal

The Democratic Party would be a lot better if it had embraced Zohran Mamdani the way it's embracing Marjorie Taylor Greene.

bill maher with one of the craziest flop jokes i've ever seen in my life

Imagine the arrogance of coming to another country as an immigrant, becoming a citizen, and then having the audacity to publicly say you're ready to destroy their constitution. He should have lost his citizenship awhile ago.

root for injuries. she’s still who she is, i don’t need to like or support her to enjoy her knifing trump, because the more of them who knife him without repercussion, the faster he falls

The entire premise of capitalism is that you too get to buy shit you do not need. It is insane that The Capitalism Channel is saying We Are Having Technical Difficulties With Economy Right Now So Wait Your Turn Poors.

While corporate profits skyrocket and the stock market rides high, regular Americans are struggling to make ends meet. Even CEOs of the biggest corporations are starting to understand why this is a huge problem. Watch. youtu.be/W8OWhw-GXUU

It is a grim prospect —and an extraordinary amount of bullshit work —to have to prove the value of intellectual education and research within the logic of a management consultant’s report. Such is the nature of corporatized higher ed, made far worse under Trump. theintercept.com/2025/11/17/u...

Andrew Johnson — a Jan. 6 rioter who went by "Am🇺🇸rican T🇺🇸rrorist” on Elon Musk’s platform — has been arrested on child molestation charges, with police saying he used the promise of a taxpayer-funded payout from Trump's DOJ to try and keep one of the victims silent. theintercept.com/2025/11/17/p...

Whenever people discuss if ChatGPT should be used in education, it should be noted that OpenAI's board includes a a professor who sought advice from a pedophile on how to manipulate one of his mentees into having sex with him, and in those conversations they substituted her name with a racial slur.

Q: “Speaker Johnson is calling on the Senate to make revisions because he says it's doesn't adequately protect survivors.” REPUBLICAN REP. MASSIE: “That's a red herring. The survivors have always been in favor of this legislation. He's trying to save face after opposing this.”

It needs to be emphasized that this paragraph is about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Sometimes bullets cut boughs from your family and carve modren protocols for security agencies, and other times, bullets are actually birds, weilded by a particular type of hunter, it's a complex duality that an expert writer like Nuzzi can explain in prose.

Ordinary men wear wristwatches, fitbits. But he, he and only he, strides proudly athwart time itself, dispatching from the crook of his muscled marble elbow a mighty hooded falcon when he wishes the hour of the day brought to him from a place that only he can identify.
