#Thanksgiving : an utterly ghoulish & heinous holiday (Also yet another holiday stolen by christianity from pagan ceremonial observances that celebrated the Fall harvest, marked seasonal change, & prepared for Winter. We celebrate it as "Harvest Day" in a purely nonreligious, secular manner)

Trump deployed these National Guard troops to the streets of Washington to make a political point. Now they are either in critical condition or dead. It’s tough to end political violence when you give mass pardons to those who participate in it. apnews.com/article/nati...

Be patient with the National Guard shooting narrative. It can take time for the authorities to comb DC to find a trans person to blame.

James Bond supervillains threaten to blow up the world with their big laser unless you pay them a trillion dollars. Real American supervillains embed themselves in the economy and threaten to cause a depression unless you subsidize their sex robots and the weird chatbots they use to avoid humans.

The two National Guard members who were shot would be at home celebrating Thanksgiving with their families right now if Trump hadn’t sent them to DC to feed his ego. This is 100% trump’s fault. 🤬🤬🤬

It’s really sad that Governor Morrisey decided to volunteer WV’s National Guard to go to DC to support 47’s anti American city campaign.

yes reasonable and fair to wait until we have more information to talk about any motive. no not necessary to wait until we have more information to blame the president and the governors who illegally put national guard where they didn't belong to harass and terrorize their political enemies for show

Surprised it was even mentioned at all.

Aging? Aged. The muscle-less twerp never had robust health. He went from skinny-fat wimp to blob, with no period of good physical form or health. And his mental health, of course, has always been dismal: both cognitively and psychologically.

These two things are true: 1) Shooting National Guard members is horrific and criminal. 2) So is putting National Guard members in harm’s way to score political points.

Kristi noem is a murderer.

US democracy, once *a* (there have always been many comparable countries) light of liberty & justice, has now been so corroded that nations without robust traditions/long histories of liberty, justice, the rule of law, democracy, etc. are now putting the US to shame. Now THAT'S a fallen country!

Trump, Eric & Junior promised their patriotic ‘Made in the USA’ cell phones would be delivered in Aug to the MAGA rubes. Still no phones, and the ‘Made in USA’ claim had been scrubbed from their website. Scam #1,284. www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...

There has never been a single time, as president or candidate, that Trump has singled out Putin for condemnation for his brutal invasion of Ukraine that murders civilians daily. It is always “both sides” that are to blame according to Trump, Vance and Witkoff. He masquerades as a

With Insurance premiums set to skyrocket Trump is now trying to extend the Obamacare subsidies, putting Republicans who have railed against it in a box. Reminder: with the shutdown Dems shined a light on this so everyone knows who to blame if they don’t. punchbowl.news/article/whit...

Abuse of power extending beyond Senator Kelly "FBI has requested interviews with six Democratic U.S. lawmakers." DOJ official "said the interviews were to determine 'if there's any wrongdoing and then go from there.'" Note: For video accurately stating military law www.reuters.com/world/us/fbi...

The EPA just approved new "forever chemical" pesticides for use on food like lettuce, broccoli, and potatoes. They're creating new pathways for long lasting & potentially harmful PFAS to get into our food & environment. THIS is how they're going to Make America Healthy Again?

Secretary Noem gave her buddies a $220 million government contract to make anti-immigrant ads. Unlike the GOP, Democrats are taking a firm stand against this brazen display of corruption.

The average age in which a person buys a house is now about 40. It used to be the late 20's. With one income. Usually from a job that didn't require a college degree. And it's going to be a lesser house, and they're going to go into (even more on top of other) debt for it.

Not only does he not understand it, he quite literally doesn't possess the requisite intellectual or moral capacity to. No facetiousness intended. I'm gravely serious. Such a failed person should not be in any position of authority over others. Ever.

"After the 2024 election, Latinos...credited Trump’s economic proposals & immigration policies – suggesting he was not serious about threats of mass deportations – for winning their vote." The capacity for human gullibility & ignorance never ceases to amaze me. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

United Health wants its ‘swagger back’. How? By dropping a million seniors from Medicare Advantage Why? America's largest insurer wants to improve its profit margins, medical costs are skyrocketing because the GOP cut Medicaid and ACA subsidies.

Cannot overstate how, from my perch as a national-security reporter, this would have been an earth-shattering scandal in a prior era.

Yes! I've been saying since the Bill Clinton era that the dems need to split into 2 parties: conservative dems (moderate repubs) & progressive dems (real democrats). Then the GOP can die & we'd have 2 democracy upholding parties, with hopefully the con dems being a minority party in perpetuity.

Absurd.

We see the flashy ads, the big markdowns, all the ways they try to grab our attention and our money. But this year: WE AIN'T BUYING IT! This holiday season, we’re shifting the focus from spending to taking a stand. Join us: actionnetwork.org/forms/weaint... #WeAintBuyingIt

Sam is right. DOGE did exactly what they wanted it to do- hurt poor people, destroyed faith in government, enriched Elon.

The "Department of Government Efficiency" has disbanded eight months early. DOGE sowed chaos throughout the government and disrupted services relied upon by millions, while finding hardly any savings. Here's what you should know about damage that DOGE leaves behind.

Another Trump promise with much hype and fanfare when it was announced as a "HUGE WIN" for farmers that didn't happen. Incidentally, we made concessions to the Chinese for this "deal." bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump had found an issue more unpopular than his handling of inflation - attacking Venezuela: www.cbsnews.com/feature/cbs-...

Cracks me up how you could just replace Venezuela and Venezuelans with Iraq and Iraqis and it’d be indistinguishable from something written in 2002

Trump administration unresponsive after containership fire, Port of Los Angeles chief says

How about this: Ask Trump to name 3 specific things in his “peace proposal” that he demanded Ukraine accept by Thursday. There are 28, so 3 should be easy.

Fascism in its rawest, purest form.

The entire world is perplexed because the President of the United States appeared cordial in one meeting. That’s how crazy this timeline is.

It was TRANSLATED by the US from Russian into English, not authored by the US.

Philosophy has intrinsic, as well as instrumental ("real world") value. It simply orients & hones a person's thinking/approach to the world & life in a way no other discipline (even other abstract fields of inquiry) can. #philsky

The traditional meaning of 'lying' has evolved, leading to widespread confusion about what constitutes a lie. My academic article on the subject: philpapers.org/archive/WATL...

the takeaway from the Zohran Trump meeting is that Trump is a gullible fool who will temporarily bend to the last charismatic person he talked to. Zohran played him perfectly but that doesn’t mean Trump is good now. He’ll go back to fascism tomorrow morning after he talks to Stephen Miller

"The Trump administration has destroyed our ability to trust information from the government. Judges have seen lies from federal prosecutors... The head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics was fired... And the CDC changes its guidance on vaccines and autism." www.thebulwark.com/p/is-rfk-jr-...

The really fun part, every time the president says something utterly psychotic, is that right after all his little toadies and goblins go on camera to say that he didn't mean what he said and that you're stupid for thinking so, his next move is always to announce that he meant every word of it

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF
