“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

Wow. The front cover of today’s Objectiv magazine in Slovenia (the birthplace of Melania Trump). Trump with a Hitler moustache made from Venezuelan oil.

Chris Murphy is on point here and sounding the alarm. They're going for martial law.

Excellent.

A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:

Our most-read story of 2025: Outraged by the Jan. 6 riot, a vigilante spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter.

Christ on a bike, this is brilliant. And disgustingly historically accurate. 10/10

The 60 Minutes piece on the Trump Administration’s torture prison that Bari Weiss doesn’t want you to see has leaked.

“60 Minutes” abruptly dropped a segment about Trump deportees sent to a megaprison in El Salvador Sunday — two hours before it was set to air

Solar overtakes coal even in Texas, and the trajectories are clear. Trump can flack all he wants for his fossil fuel donors, but markets move inexorably toward clean energy.

Wild — as the community note says, Trump’s DOJ released a publicly available pic of MJ & Clinton & Diana Ross with their own kids and implied it’s them with victims They aren’t just redacting, they’re doctoring

Glad Rolling Stone published this, especially given the loud silence from the rest of the media on this grim watershed moment in US political history.

It gets even more pathetic— x.com/RepBeatty/st...

Senators @schiff.senate.gov and @padilla.senate.gov I'm assuming you'll be voting no on this straight-up Nazification of yet another element of our failing democracy. #FridayTheyWillReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Brown University was the 389th mass shooting of 2025 and all the predictable unhinged NRA gun myths are floating around. For your convenience, I bring the receipts to debunk 9 of the most common NRA gun myths. Please read & share widely. www.qasimrashid.com/p/debunking-...

This needs to be made clear.

🎯 "Black-hearted." I can't think of a better descriptor for Trump's latest hate speech ejaculation. Most of what he says is disgusting, heinous, racist, elitist, hateful, and stupid. This plumbs new depths for the Nazi, war criminal, pedophile currently raping democracy from the West Wing. #FDT.

NYT. WTF? Ahmed el Ahmed, a Muslim man, was shot twice disarming one of the shooters.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

The number of mass shootings in the US in 2025 is at least 389, according to the Gun Violence Archive. Saturday was the 347th day of 2025. In NYC, they say, you're never more than 3' from a rat. The rest of the US you're never more than 3' from a potential shooter. Only nation where this occurs.

In case anyone was wondering if the Dems are going to prosecute GOP graft and corruption if they retake the WH, Senate, and House. No. They're not going to.

Either Ellison has read Foucault, or he's never even heard of him. Both possibilities suck for everyone who isn't a billionaire.

@mikethompson.house.gov Dear Congressman Thompson, how could you vote in favor of Trump's bloated Pentagon budget? We have fascists at the helm about to start a war in Venezuela and you join 85 Dems to fund the Nazi insanity under the Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth? You lost my vote. Done.

Noem thinks she gets to decide who is and who isn't a US citizen. Here's a guideline for her: Fuck off! Nobody should be kidnapped, tortured, and removed from any place without due process showing cause, evidence of a crime, and conviction in a court of law.

The native of El Salvador and resident of Maryland has become a symbol of the Trump administration's policy of mass deportations after he was mistakenly sent to a prison in El Salvador in the spring. n.pr/4q8gHsK

Kinda weird that Donald Trump and MS-13 have this in common... Read more: interc.pt/491lEO2 📹 @jordanuhl.com

Boycot these feckless oligarchs. Zuckerberg is as evil as Musk, just a little less vomitous.

Every US citizen should jam Rubio's inbox with their entire favorite novel pasted into the body of an email in Calibri type face.

One thing that's evident over at Xitter is the extent to which Trump's $12B donation to farmers is being used as a propaganda vehicle by farm state right wingers to lie about Trump "saving" these farmers.

A billboard in Richmond, Kentucky.

How many people still believe "it can't happen here"? Doesn't matter if the "IT" is fascism as seen in Europe 90 years ago. This, given Trump's mania, dementia, stupidity, hatred, and cabinet choices, could be much worse. #DoNotComply

Raise your hand if you never for a second thought this would go any other way? Too many double negatives? Try this: who didn't see this shit sandwich getting wrapped up at the Trump delicatessen back in 2023?

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders just now:

More than that, his crew threatened to open fire on the murderers. He rescued civilians, returned to base to refuel, flew back, and rescued more civilians. Then he denounced the crimes to his HQ. For all this he received death-threats throughout his life. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Th....

We elect killers OR we turn them into killers - everyone knows it's part of the job. Few think about how to change that. Most seem in denial of it, & fall in love with the killers wearing the right team color. Obama's drone show involved assassinations of US citizens. Never forget. #HegsethWarCrimes

WTF?

"In response to Trump's order, attorneys general in 21 states sued the administration. Now, after a judge's ruling that Trump's actions were unlawful, libraries and museums across the country will have access to money that had been stuck in a months-long limbo..." www.npr.org/2025/12/04/n...

Rep. Ilhan Omar: "When I think about Stephen Miller and his white supremacist rhetoric, it reminds me of the way the Nazis described Jewish people in Germany."

Dear Senator @wyden.senate.gov , We need you to join us here on the actual left. Gaza needs us to reject Netanyahu's narrative, stop the Israeli genocide, and ensure that it never happens again.

Police Chief Brian O’Hara has delivered a blunt message to his department: If an officer witnesses ICE agents using illegal force and fails to step in, they will be fired. 👏 👏 👏

Had a pretty nice Thanksgiving. After dinner it went south. My brother in law has gone full maga. His stance now is every Muslim has to be deported even citizens. So you can imagine how the after dinner chat went.He did end up leaving early. My adult kids said we shouldn’t invite back for Christmas.

At what point can we officially consider the Trump/Musk takeover a coup d'états? Professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a historian who studies coups, has stated, with full rationale, why the US has now been taken over in a coup. Here is her statement on YouTube. Pls repost. 1Min www.youtube.com/shorts/dCAF_...

The most interesting part of this story isn’t that the pipe bomber is MAGA. That was blatantly obvious. What should interest folks is that the FBI and DoJ hid that fact from you, and still haven’t made a statement. This info is coming from sources on the condition of anonymity.

WONKETTE: “Department of Homeland Security is retooling a federal immigration database in ways that states can use to strike people from voter rolls by claiming they’re not eligible to vote.” www.wonkette.com/p/dhs-takes-...

This is spot on 👇

This cabinet is a joke. I really don’t know how any human brain, even one warped by MAGA, can fail to grasp how weird, afactual and obsequious this is.
