Speculation is that ICE could be trying to move people out to clean the holding cells and to set up cots to comply with the latest judicial order to address inhumane conditions inside the facility. The judge is currently scheduled to inspect the facility Thursday morning.

The right's obsession with SNAP recipients buying popsicles is a modern version of a centuries-old tradition of scolding the poor for what they eat. It mimics verbatim Victorian complaints about the poor indulging in tea and sugar, mistaking consumption as a cause of poverty instead of a symptom.

My ACA current plan is going from $385/mo to $821/mo.

New paper out on virus transmission in hospitals. Predictable patterns of airflow on hospital wards explained 3/4 of SARS-CoV-2 transmission events between patients. www.journalofhospitalinfection.com/article/S019...

That chapter title though. A smaller number than the lethal rate of a virus still circulating. Most people are part of an infection chain at least 1X per year. 😷😷😷

NEW: Firings of LGBTQ staff at NBC and Condé Nast have worsened an already dire picture for legacy news media when it comes to covering the trans community. From @billiejsweeney.bsky.social, a close look at our increasingly degraded media environment. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

This is will be the 5th forever chemical they have approved this year, and it takes thousands of years to break down. It cannot be filtered out of water with most filtration methods, and it easily moves throughout the environment via water or in the atmosphere. It is increasingly detected in humans.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

"Although young trans people were most frequently and viciously targeted by Trump, the report found that “transgender youth under 20 were quoted in just 6% of articles. Who did msm corporate media turn to? Trump, a member of his administration, or other Republicans were quoted in 50% of articles"

When you actually think about how many issues are tied to disability you never think about, it’s intentional. crutchesandspice.com/2025/11/11/c...

Hello @support.bsky.team why has @sarahkendzior.bsky.social been suspended without explanation?????

BREAKING: SNAP is still a mess tonight, with plaintiffs in the Boston SNAP case filing additional facts for Judge Talwani following today's ruling. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71783...

What’s “internal” Because apparently some of us are not on the inside and in EIGHT MONTHS you and your party have not listened or issued real statements that show us that We’ve seen more briefings on abandoning “special interests” than actual outreach While we get tear gassed in your cities

“A plainclothes ICE agent pointed his gun at a female driver in Santa Ana…The incident is one of many nationwide raising concerns about plainclothes agents being mistaken for criminals and visa versa, prompting the FBI to urge proper identification.” www.latimes.com/california/s...

Inject this into my veins! Vaccine! Vaccine!

This whole thread, but esp this The idea that some people *should* be disposable & the fact that a whole lotta societies can't operate without throwing ppl under the bus is really quite horrifying! But colonialism, capitalism & white supremacy demand it, so folks don't think too hard about it

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

But I swear on all that is holy if I hear one of these motherfuckers say "bipartisan" one more time about collaborating with fascists I'm going to get a fucking beret and go full-on revolutionary.

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands. Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame. Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump. Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

*Women receive substantially lower "potential" ratings despite receiving higher performance ratings *Differences in potential ratings account for half of the gender promotion gap *Women’s lower potential ratings do not reflect future performance: women subsequently outperform male colleagues

Amazing moment in time right now where people who yelled at us for sticking to genocide as a red line are now also disgusted with Democrats and threatening not to vote for them. So your health insurance becoming more expensive was your red line?

As the Trump admin creates more chaos over funding SNAP benefits, uncertainty is taking a toll. Young people I spoke to while reporting described how profoundly stressful the chaos is: "Uncertainty over SNAP delays “builds this anxiety of, ‘Well, if this is going to be taken away, what else is?’”

I'm honestly scared. A $600 unexpected expense wrecks me for a month. A THOUSAND DOLLARS A MONTH for the exact same healthcare IS NOT HAPPENING.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise. Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families. Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

every generation loves Rumours. it’s fucking Rumours

It doesn't help that they're deporting a large segment of the home building workforce.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

Thinking about the social stigma against eating fast food in a country where poor people are being starved by the govt, the cost of groceries and fresh vegetables are astronomical, and a cheeseburger at McDonald’s costs $3.50. “Clean” and “healthy” eating rhetoric is racist, ableist, and classist.

Reminder that if you want a custom, one-of-a-kind knitted gift for someone for the holidays, the best time to order something fro my shop and get it ON TIME is now! Knitting takes time and if people ask me in December it just won't be as feasible or even possible at all. #GiftShop #BSNM #OpenComms

And that's important, because she was a working scientist with agency of her own and she collaborated willingly with so much more of that work than is usually mentioned. Both by Watson AND his critics. Franklin was a great scientist. Don't sell her short.

ICYMI: Microsoft’s charge “implies a more than $12 billion quarterly loss at OpenAI, said Firoz Valliji, an analyst at Bernstein.” That “would mark one of the largest single-quarter losses for a tech company in history.” @jessefelder.bsky.social $MSFT www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

A friend and I talk a lot about how the beauty of money (small m) is that it allows you to buy your way out of problems. Car broke down? You can afford to fix it. But it seems with very rich people, the inability for money to "fix" a situation - like mortality - to their liking is THE problem.

We sent a message to management today with a Slack icon change. More than half of our union participated and are demanding management reinstate the four people who were unjustly fired. Ready to show your own support? Reach out to Condé Nast management telling them to reinstate the fired four.

James Watson was a thief and a racist. May Rosalind Franklin’s name live forever in our memories for her contributions to molecular biology. And may our cultural infatuation with mediocre white men one day be a distant memory.

"AI is a direct attack on the way we verify information: AI both creates fake sources and obscures its actual sources. That is the opposite of what librarians do, and teachers do, and scientists do, and experts do." 🔗 www.404media.co/ai-is-superc...

Richest nation in human history

"biological pronouns" is an insane phrase

This quality of reporting is what made Teen Vogue indispensable—and why what's happening to it is so infuriating. Withholding SNAP could cause "the greatest hunger catastrophe in America since the Great Depression." A 22-year-old with diabetes said: "It's like a death sentence for people like me."

Taxing the super rich is actually the extremely moderate position compared with what A) they deserve and B) is likely necessary to restore anything like a functioning democratic order to public hands

you probably shouldn't let what commentators like Ezra Klein say be the limit of your imagination or determine what you think is politically possible. He doesn't have a clue what is possible.

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.

Trump is appealing the judicial order to pay full SNAP benefits by tomorrow. He’s spending tax payer dollars going back to court to try and avoid giving folks money they are legally owed. He’s starving 42 million people because to him they are leverage. It’s enraging.

If Musk meets all the benchmarks of his new $1 trillion pay package from Tesla he will be paid $274 MILLION EVERY DAY FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS This is his part-time job

“They didn’t just walk in chasing one person, they went into multiple rooms asking and looking for teachers while children were present,” Ramirez said. “This is an agency that has gone rogue and it an agency that believes that as long as they can cover their face, they can get away with anything.”

McConnell on children going hungry: "This Should Never Happen in America." He goes back to gov't's argument being pretextual, citing numerous statements made by Trump and his adminisrtration over the last week.

McConnell is now defining "irreparable harm" for the gov't. McConnell orders the administration to make FULL SNAP payments to states by tomorrow. Court grants plaintiffs' order for second TRO. The administration decided not to use full Sec 32 funds to fund SNAP....
