Worth remembering: Read a Book.

5 years on from contracting COVID, medical scientist Rebecca Broni is still living with its effects. @news.rte.ie 🛑She's not alone, though at times it must feel that way. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👩‍👩‍👧‍👦This disease has affected many millions globally. 🤷Credible data doesn't exist. 💯Long COVID does! www.rte.ie/news/2025/11...

We are being governed by dangerous morons.

more idiocracy in US government, daily

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America: 1. Break up corporate monopolies 2. Continue building union power 3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

Airports had warned it would take days for flights to return to normal ahead of Thanksgiving 2025.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this out.

🤬🤬

In case anyone needs an explanation: Taking money we paid in tariffs and returning it to us is not a bonus or a dividend, it's a refund.

Breaking WSJ: Fannie Mae watchdogs who were removed from their jobs had been probing if Trump appointee Bill Pulte had improperly obtained mortgage records of key Democratic officials, including New York Attorney General Letitia James, according to people familiar with the matter.

Pretty large turnout at todays Veterans Day protest and vigil organized by local veterans at the ICE facility in Portland, OR

OMG

More staggering cruelty from the #ReactionarySix SCOTUS. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/u...

I am covering Melendez-Diaz, Bullcoming and Williams in evidence this week and the next. The misuse of experts and outright junk science to convict the innocent is staggering.

Absolutely disgusting. The cruelty is the point.

This is not from the Onion?!

Brad Lander: The nightmare I saw at Manhattan's ICE detention facility I'm New York City's comptroller — I've seen the injustices of Trump's immigration crackdown up close.

This is incredibly dangerous. I cannot believe that Drumpf and his lackeys intend to let this go on during the holiday travel season.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

How. Very. Unsurprising.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!! Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

Every time I feel like they run out of ways to admit they are absolute monsters, they find a new one.

The British authorities said early Sunday that they were investigating a fire at a mosque on Britain’s southern coast as a suspected arson attack and treating it as a hate crime.

They have already shot 2 people. Hello, US media!

Perfect fit for him! Brilliant.

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

This. Is. Not. Normal. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/u...

BREAKING | Generals silent as Hegseth ends ‘warrior ethos’ rally speech

Former Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall expressed his alarm on MSNBC's "The Weeknight" over Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's mass meeting with generals, who have been summoned from all over the world.

The DOGE team was acting like “a bunch of people who didn’t know what they were doing, with ideas of how government should run — thinking it should work like a McDonald’s or a bank — screaming all the time,” former SSA Commissioner Leland Dudek said.

So, our man-child-in-chief has now used his renamed war department to declare war on Americans, twice?

The Right is nakedly trying to make it illegal to call them fascists which is about the most obviously fascist thing you could come up with.

Outstanding writing, as usual.

OMG.

Dangerous for national security per se, as experts have said. But I fear that it will be a demand of loyalty to Drumpf instead of the Constitution and rule of law. Those who refuse will be purged. We saw what happened at DOJ. VERY dangerous moment. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/u...
