All of North America looking skyward and losing their minds. Seattle:

The whole purpose of public education is to create skilled knowledgeable people to be good global citizens to build / support a strong country. We lose this, we lose our strength as a country.

I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here

Working at the edge of my yard today with a full garbage can of yard waste. Yard waste garbage truck driver stops and asks if he can take it for me. Tiny little kind gestures are the absolute best.

Israeli fire, lack of aid persists across Gaza, United Nations says - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/israeli-fire-lack-aid-persists-across-gaza-united-nations-says

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

Please be on the lookout for this missing child. (Georgia)

I really hate the dude bro sarcastic phrase, “living the dream”. Seriously, if you have a decent job, you are better off than what percentage of the US and global population. Such entitled dude whininess.

“I think it’s a terrible mistake,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren says of the deal. “People want us to stand and fight for health care, and that's what I believe.” (via Igor Bobic, HuffPo) x.com/igorbobic/st...

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

The arrogance of a Senator who is not even running again to take the lead in undermining the Caucus and the voters.

A little louder for the people in the back: REPUBLICANS AREN’T NEGOTIATING, THEY’RE BULLSHITTING. THEY WONT ENFORCE *ANY* BUDGET BC THEY REFUSE TO HOLD TRUMP ACCOUNTABLE. DON’T NEGOTIATE UNTIL THEY DO THEIR JOB AND REMOVE HIM FOR HIS MULTITUDE OF HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS.

A "vote on healthcare later" is D.C. slang for "never, but thanks for playing."

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Any politician who votes to give more of our tax money to the grifters who have already gotten too much deserves to be primaried into the sun

gonna repeat this: if you want to send your money to a man running against a republican senator this is the man to send your money to. he’s already been their senator people genuinely know and like him his campaign needs in state folks to knock doors for him. that takes cash.

"Ian" is harvesting olives in Tulare County. He works from 6 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., earning $6.50 per bucket. "The buckets are big and can weigh up to 35 lbs. My hands get sore after a day’s work from carrying the heavy buckets all day long. But this work feeds my family." #WeFeedYoul

Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.

Make the Goddamn meal and put it in your Free Fridge. Write the $100 check to the food bank. Ask your local school what they need for the kids and then go about trying to get that stuff.... Do these things regularly and you are making meaningful contributions to your communities.

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

Mamdani is going to implement sashimi law. Everyone will have to carry wasabi and soy sauce on their person at all times.

With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters.

Coming down with a cold. Which I completely exacerbated by stirring up all the dust in my house. Totally related - « teachers’ houses are always awful », said by a local realtor. 😂

Earlier today, a mob of Israeli Jewish settlers attacked and assaulted roughly 30 Palestinian villagers and activists, plus about 10 journalists who had gathered during an attempt to harvest olives near a settler outpost in the Israeli-occupied West Bank

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Seriously, read this thread. It’s hilarious and awful at the same time. Everything about the current president is just so awful and beyond tacky.

I still remember my anthropology professor’s favorite joke from college: “What did Watson and Crick discover?” “Rosalind Franklin’s notes.”

We sent the presidencies of Harding and Nixon straight to hell for a fraction of the corruption that happens every hour of every day on camera in this regime

My kids have measles and my SNAP benefits were cut. But at least those cashiers at Walmart aren’t writing “they/them” on their name tags anymore.

There’s a district dude who just magically shows up when I need to be reminded that everything is going to be okay. I haven’t seen him since last school year - maybe March or April. He showed up today during my planning period. We talked electrician stuff. It’s going to be okay. It has to be okay.

Could use some good vibes / prayers for my oldest right now.

And I hope colleges and universities are thinking about how they there might be an increased number of students who just have to stay on campus.

Dude who was saying that he was in the UK in 1987, and that was before Maggie Thatcher, just dude. She was Prime Minister from 1979 to 1990.

Trump voters, you did this.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

I hope that the ice agents are haunted for eternity for what they have done. I hope that the demons and ghosts of their actions torment them forever, without any relief.

“He’s having a seizure and they’re trying to rip the baby out of her hands”

I’d like to commission a statue of the sandwich man

I hope that all the ice folks have a “my god, what have I done?” moment and that they are haunted by their actions for the rest of their lives.

I got to nominate one of my kids today for a thing. It was wonderful to talk about their character. In the land of “I’m smarter and richer and more accomplished than everyone else”, it was lovely to celebrate a kid who works their backside off and is incredibly accomplished and is kind and helpful.

Seriously, the new CEO is awful.

1.This is not the only known example we know of ChatGPT cheering on a vulnerable young person to die by suicide, this time it is a recent Texas A&M grad 2. Every single university that has invited OpenAI into our midst should be asked to account for their choices. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Brother Warnock lays it plain.
