The Arlington #TeslaTakedown crew had cold but gleeful action today. Nothing a little hot cider couldn’t fix 😁 Sustained protests work! Keep showing up. This group is amazing. @teslatakedown.com @teslatakedownuk.bsky.social @everyonehateselon.bsky.social

This is what happens when you call Biden “Far Left”

One of the things about trust is that it is efficient. It saves you having to invest a lot of time and effort in verification, and if placed in the right places, saves you a lot of pain. "The diseases will do the education" is what we get when we don't trust.

The fact that 12% of federal judges are Black shows the corruption of DEI. The fact that 67% of Supreme Court Justices belong to a small legal cult called the Federalist Society shows the power of meritocracy.

After a college student finally found a treatment that worked for his ulcerative colitis, UnitedHealthcare decided it wouldn’t pay for the costly drugs. His fight to get coverage exposed the insurer’s hidden procedures for rejecting claims. (Published Feb. 2023)

Surveillance state about to get worse

"The US does not have legal authority to close another country's airspace and the Venezuelan statement accused Trump of making a "colonialist threat"." He's posturing. It's one of his idiosyncrasies. HE'S AN EGOMANIAC...what do we expect? #Pinks www.bbc.com/news/article...

You don’t get to pick. That’s the whole damn point of the rule of law.

Most important essay of the season: An investor called $140,000 the new poverty line. Experts disagreed but said he had a point. Michael Green’s tally of the costs of raising a family in the U.S. today is going viral, even if some economists scoff at his math www.yesigiveafig.com/p/part-1-my-...

GEORGIA: Rodney Taylor, a double amputee barber here his whole life was 2 days away from getting new legs when Trump’s ICE goons grabbed him. He has been held almost a year, facing deportation to Liberia. What are we doing? www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Yep

He scammed over 1,000 people, most of whom were not wealthy - veterans, farmers, teachers, nurses, small businesses owners. Some lost everything. But he’s a rich Republican, so Trump let him get away with it. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/u...

They're not hiding it, folks—straight up neo-Nazi advertising, from the font to the language to the 11 stars for the Confederacy. Then you have the DHS openly using white nationalist language of "remigrate", which means ethnic cleansing. This is who MAGA is now.

During this busiest shopping period of the year, we’re hitting pause on purchases from Home Depot, Target, and Amazon. Let’s make our dollars count by refusing to support corporations complicit in Trump’s authoritarian power grab: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky

Decades ago, Kris Hansen showed 3M that its PFAS chemicals were in people's bodies. Her bosses halted her work. Now she wrestles with the secrets that 3M kept from her and the world. (Published May 2024)

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

I really appreciate that @pbsnews.org ended the interview with this graphic. It captures, in the simplest and starkest terms, the brutal arithmetic driving this country's homelessness catastrophe.

What were the CIA-backed "Zero Units" in Afghanistan? For a deep dive, read reporter Lynzy Billing's award-winning piece from 2022:

Make Uber aware and if they don’t do anything, add them to the boycott list

It’s on 🔥 The boycott rolled right up to their front door. ‘We Ain’t Buying It”

Five-byline alert: 🚨 “.. the full scope of [Witkoff’s talks] went much further, according to people familiar .. They were privately charting a path to bring Russia’s $2 trillion economy in from the cold—with American businesses first in line .. to the dividends. 🇺🇦 www.wsj.com/world/russia...

I didn’t want to overreact, and took time to read this. Having done so, I’m adding Northwestern to the list of places I won’t visit or speak. The concessions re: international students and gender-affirming care are not merely symbolic.

“In days after Alaska, a European intel agency distributed a hard-copy report in an envelope to some of the continent’s most senior national security officials, who were shocked by the contents: Inside were details of the commercial and economic plans the Trump admin had been pursuing with Russia.”

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Trump entered the Mar-a-Lago ballroom for his Thanksgiving feast to the song “We Are the World,” a song used to raise money to help starving children. Trump himself has cut aid to address global famine and has fought for the right to cut food stamps from American families.

Certainly not the first time something like this has happened. But a clear-cut case of the Trump administration defying court orders.

Confections like "the woke right" absolve much of the commentariat for their disapproving obsession over one type of identity politics while ignoring the critical role of identity politics on the right. From after the election: donmoynihan.substack.com/p/who-is-all...

Zero reckoning from any of the elites who credulously parroted the absurd idea that the right wing was in favor of free speech.

Twin Cities Event Reminder #TeslaTakedownMN Tesla Golden Valley Sat, Nov 29 @ 11AM Week 43 Trump is deeply unpopular but still inflicting a lot of damage. The billionaires & officials enabling him must be held accountable. We are the only ones coming to save us.

Now here’s the kind of news you drop going into a long holiday weekend. Maybe no one will notice. 🤡 @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

Retirees are mobilizing to defend democracy—and the benefits literally show up in their DNA.

Photos from St. Paul today captured by MPR photojournalist Kerem Yücel. He filed them even after being hospitalized after being injured by a less lethal munition.

🔥POWERFUL AD ABOUT ICE AGENTS: “What will you say when your kids ask you about your day? A mask can’t hide you from your neighbors, your family, God… you can walk away, but the shame will follow you home.”

A bit too on the nose for thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful to be in this fight with all of you. Our weekly protests maintain my hope that we can protect our democracy & build a fairer society for all. Wishing you a fun & relaxing holiday!
