Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.

Don Was digs into the Blue Note Records vault for a different kind of Christmas playlist, bringing together rare cuts, classics and deep grooves from across the label's history. n.pr/3YAyxso

Basically, oligarchs are using political extortion, physical intimidation, funding through child sex trafficking and bribery to steal our US Treasury and natural resources. A cut is funneled to T Rump crypto scams and foreign money-laundering Super PACs.

Every single day we see a new horror unfolding in Minneapolis at the hands of ICE’s untrained, unvetted, masked officers terrorizing immigrants AND citizens in the Twin Cities. End “Operation Metro Surge” and fire Kristi Noem.

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along

Please take 7 and a half minutes and watch this.

Today, for the first time in six months, Angelenos are living without the National Guard unlawfully deployed in their city. Our team fought tirelessly against President Trump’s unlawful attempts to militarize American cities, and while the fight is not over, this is a step in the right direction.

So there is already an ai-generated whitewashing campaign to bury the name of the Muslim man, Ahmed al Ahmed, who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach shooters, and replace his identity with a white guy name and that’s why even a thimble of our potable water powering this tech is too fucking much.

Caring is an act of resistance in a system that thrives on indifference.

ILLINOIS: “residents can sue federal immigration agents if they believe their civil rights were violated after @GovPritzker enacted a new law… restricts immigration enforcement efforts outside of state courthouses and lets plaintiffs sue for damages.” www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

We are dealing with such corruption in every aspect of our government, I don't know how we undo the damage.

If Paramount is allowed to take over Warner Bros. Discovery, the conservative billionaire Ellison family will control: Paramount Studios CBS CNN MTV HBO Comedy Central Nickelodeon Cartoon Network Warner Bros. DC Studios Fandango New Line Cinema TNT Sports TBS Oracle And more.

To recap: •Rittenhouse killed 2 people at a BLM rally & raised $2M •Shiloh Hendrix called a Black child the n-word & raised $800K •Now Crystal Wilsey called a Black customer the n-word & has already raised $100K in 1 day On thing remains clear—White supremacy remains extremely profitable in America

If you need some hope, this piece might give it to you—plus @willbunch.bsky.social is always worth reading. There’s a no paywall link in the replies.

Look at this ghoulishness. www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

Not gonna lie, and I wish everyone well, but this coup is not the first concern on my list of coups-in-process.

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. 👏 👏 👏

This, all day every day, for 10 years

Remember 8 years ago when this track dropped in some kind of weird vacuum where everybody was like "hm cool" for 3 days and then moved on like nothing totally sick just happened? #jamiroquai #automaton #electronic #music

“The worst of the worst”

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER. My latest in @thenation.com

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

"It was estimated in early November that 600,000 people had already died because of [the USAID] cuts, with two-thirds of them being children. I think it is fair to say that this is a crime against humanity. It is a staggering number of deaths."

If only they had Trump on tape committing this crime.

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Watch this...

Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro said on Sunday that the ceasefire deal in Gaza is a “farce.” “It’s harmful and disingenuous for American media to continue the charade that there’s a ceasefire in place.” UNICEF reported that Israeli forces have killed 67 children since October 11, 2025.

A video from inside a Border Patrol vehicle shows agents chasing a US citizen for filming them. The citizen refused to get out when they illegally ordered him to stop. The agents say: "This is great." "This is fun." "He's going to get shot."

Kristi Noem and Kash Patel were out last night enjoying the Las Vegas F1 race at taxpayers’ expense. This is exactly the kind of fraud, waste, and abuse that deserves a full investigation.

This is my kind of good trouble.

Walked through those men like they weren’t even there.

This guy gets it

Terrific

NEW: Churches in Charlotte are hosting trainings on how to response to ICE agents — with *hundreds* filling pews. At one training, a child led those gathered in "This Little Light of Mine" — but changed the words to “All around Border Patrol, I’m gonna let it shine" religionnews.com/2025/11/20/a...

A European's perspective...

Our entire problem is that good people, by nature, don't seek power, and powerful people have no need for common good. We have to evolve out of this paradigm, or nothing changes.

Stephen Miller said the Chicago building was “filled with TdA terrorists.” DOJ prosecutors have not filed criminal charges or shown evidence that anyone arrested in the raid belonged to the Tren de Aragua gang. With @frontlinepbs.bsky.social & @blockclubchi.bsky.social

ICE never left L.A. The military did but they aren't the ones terrorizing the city. Please don't ignore L.A.

GET ME ANOTHER… DIE HARD Episode 2 is here! It’s “Die Hard on a Plane” week as we take to the sky for two movies with similar premises yet different results. Bruce Willis returns as John McClane in DIE HARD 2: DIE HARDER followed by Wesley Snipes in PASSENGER 57 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

No one is above the law. Off to jail, ICE. A 45-year-old Riverside County man, identified as an agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, has been arrested for allegedly detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty.

Israel has broken the ceasefire agreement nearly 300 times in just the first month of its implementation, killing at least 242 Palestinians and injuring 622 others. Israel is also only allowing a fraction of the aid it’s supposed to under the ceasefire agreement, continuing to starve Palestinians.
