Really great video of how real Americans treat masked secret police. The sound of whistles in the background is especially heartening.

Just so it’s clear, Cook would be in prison if he lived in Saudi Arabia

SUCH A MOOD

Oh they don’t like the whistles? Hey everyone, they don’t like the whistles. If you use them it makes the armed goons sad.

This @climatebrad.hillheat.com intro 💀💀💀 hillheat.news/p/literally-...

NEW: US airlines (Delta, United, American, etc) will shut down a program in which it sold hundreds of millions of your flight records to government agencies, including ICE, FBI, ATF, more. Comes after intense lawmaker-pressure and 404 Media's months-long reporting www.404media.co/airlines-wil...

She just, like...said it? Out loud?

Look at all of this cheap shit. Now imagine the gold bling is cats. Dusty ceramic cat statues, little embroidered pictures of cats, old framed posters of cats so old the ink has faded. This is a crazy cat man but for bling.

I can’t remember who said it, but like 10 years ago someone said “if public libraries didn’t already exist, the concept would be treated today as preposterous left-wing gobbledygook,” and I think about that a lot

This is what guys like Yglesias, and everybody else making hay about Kamala supporting transition care in prisons, want to happen everywhere.

Incredible stuff happening in tech.

These agents had better be saying "Merry Christmas," and not "Happy Holidays" as they drag brown people and their children out of church pews. bsky.app/profile/this...

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

Imagine the arrogance of coming to another country as an immigrant, becoming a citizen, and then having the audacity to publicly say you're ready to destroy their constitution. He should have lost his citizenship awhile ago.

It's true! Nightmare Magazine will open to subs in January! Check out the schedule below for dates & times; read the guidelines for more specifics. And yes, as ever, each writer can make one submission to each category: short story, flash, poetry, CNF. adamant.moksha.io/publication/...

Where are the learning loss people? It’s hard to learn at school if you’re afraid to go because the secret police might kidnap you.

Trump take Christmas

I urge members of the legal profession to realize that prosecuting individuals who seek to overturn the constitutional order is not "retaliation" in any normatively significant sense.

Why the fuck are Democrats trying to make Marjorie Taylor Greene a Democrat? Maybe they should spend a bit more time accepting that Zohran Mamdani is in their party before going off about welcoming nazis.

I'm sorry but any report that uncritically says assets would be seized "to pay for" costs is just parroting government propaganda. Confiscations are dreamed up as a punitive deterrent, not a sincere attempt at a funding mechanism.

Veggie stew! Black beans, corn, green beans, barley, diced tomatoes, chopped jalapenos , red bell pepper. A lot of smoked paprika and a little chipotle, plus cumin and oregano.

everyone who wants Democrats to focus on throwing immigrants and trans people under the bus needs to explain why this is not going to be the end result

did you know Sunny writes really good books that are creepy and glorious?

The larger discussion of all this is wrapped up in a contemporary notion that I find puzzling of Total Person Endorsement. Nobody can just give props to a single thing people do or make, they feel they have to like and approve of everything about them in order to do so.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

this take gets annoying as a southerner. you should not give up on the south, but no, it is not red because of voter suppression or a lack of funding for dems. doug jones raised shitloads of money and lost. it is red because the overwhelming majority are extremely racist white conservatives

Just how morally, ethically, intellectually bankrupt do you have to be to argue that 15-year-olds can sell sex but can’t affirm gender

Stella Luna is available for adoption from HRA! ws.petango.com/webservices/...

If you think being identity-pilled is bad for the Democratic brand, then why do you constantly keep perpetuating the (false, IMHO) and right wing narrative that the Democratic party is identity-pilled?

📣IN DC this MONDAY!📣Come here me speak about my new book, "The Price of Democracy" with the brilliant @dorianwarren.bsky.social !! Politics and Prose @politicsprose.bsky.social 5015 Connecticut Ave NW Monday, November 17th 7pm

“It looks like you’re trying to pee. Would you like help?”

Holy shit, finally an op-ed that gets it!

DESPITE ALL MY RAGE LET'S CIRCLE BACK AND GET ON THE SAME PAGE DESPITE ALL MY RAGE THERE ARE STILL SEVERAL METRICS TO GAUGE SOMEONE WILL SAY TURN THIS IN BY THE END OF THE DAY DESPITE ALL MY RAGE YOU DON'T NEED MY SIGN-OFF AT THIS STAGE

This allows Trump (via DOJ) to use taxpayer money to bribe eight GOP Senators. It's that simple, there's no other way to describe it. And where's the compensation for people injured by the Trump admin's unlawful conduct through DHS & DOGE? Take a bow, @schumer.senate.gov, you did this.

I think this is good insight into cop brain bc no fucking way they knew what USIP was and had any opinions on it, they're just losers excited to "raid" something

Every time someone’s like “put that in the louvre,” my head now goes “and then steal it from the louvre, the security password is louvre”

it snowed one time and they’re packing it in

Still processing the inanity of this cave, like, "We're going to make Republicans go on record that they want to destroy the ACA." You mean the motherfuckers who radicalized in opposition to it & voted to repeal it, like, 22 times? You're finally getting them on record? Really impressed over here

An Australian scholar explains the idea that drove Australia to adopt compulsory voting: "You would know that the government that was elected had the support of the majority of voters in the electorate—not just the majority of the people who turned up."

BREAKING: We won! Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years. pghguild.com/2025/11/10/p...

My book comes out tomorrow so let’s play “What does the news remind me of?” Up first: The editorial in Bezos’s Post describing Mamdani’s win as "new era of class warfare." It reminds me of a memo commissioned by a different rich guy more than a century ago.

Tell me you don’t understand risk pools without telling me you don’t understand risk pools

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.

Did you know the chew toy tastes better if the human is holding it? This is Stella Luna! I’m fostering her with the Humane Rescue Alliance. She’s crate-trained, good on a leash, incredibly sweet, caused *no* trouble today while I was gone for hours, and she’s available for adoption today!

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city. I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

i think Senator Lander has a ring to it
