Like, I read this article a couple of times to make sure I did not miss anything. They are telling a US permanent resident, who lives in the United States, that he cannot travel to the United States. For no alleged crime, merely for factual speech.

bring back shame

Until the end of my days I will harbor a burning rage toward anyone who entertained the slightest inkling of defunding American aid programs

The US Administration has banned Americans from *adopting babies* from much of the African continent. Adopting. Babies. What trait do those babies have that, when they grow up as fully American adults, would make them a threat to our country in any form?

this is not behavior becoming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.

Michael C. Rockefeller got shipwrecked in 1963, washed up on an island, and was promptly eaten by cannibals.

In case you ever needed proof that the Heritage Foundation is not a conservative organization, here we have them cheering on the Federal Government threatening to strip all funding from a state that does not make political decisions the President likes. Any true conservative would be howling.

Kommissar is pleased to announce generous allocation of two pencils per child. Thank the kommisar for his bounty!

Three things seem obviously true. 1. Being perceived as moderate has electoral advantages. 2. Being perceived as moderate and being moderate are overlapping but not identical things. 3. Bazelon is pretty dumb about thinking through applying the two above things in the real world.

Gotta admit "the font is DEI" is a stage of absurdity I could not have predicted

The only way to assure individual liberty is to hand unprecedented governmental power to the guy engaged in blatant democratic backsliding

Really feel like Trump could end up blessing the Netflix-Warner Brothers deal if Sarandos promises to let him pick the TCM schedule

They’re on the bad guys’ side www.slowboring.com/p/theyre-on-...

The rare presidential administration whose character, efficacy and dignity would automatically increase if everyone in it was replaced with a ten year old.

Corporate libs needed a win.

“confidential drafting process for Donald Trump’s…National Security Strategy…has stunned some in government who’ve seen the pages so far. A federal staffer tells Zeteo that one version…they saw reminded them of “fascist internet trolls getting worked up…on Twitter.”” zeteo.com/p/trump-nati...

That second part is what should really have Republicans spooked. This isn't just Democratic turnout differential like '23-24 specials. Their own voters are turning on Trump.

“That sounds illegal”

I mean

Trump, who is bombing boats said to carry drug runners, pardons the former president of Honduras who was convicted of supporting one of the largest, most violent drug trafficking conspiracies in the world. @shawnmccreesh.bsky.social Annie Correal Jeff Ernst www.nytimes.com/2025/11/28/w...

If the U.S. was at war, Pete Hegseth's order would be a war crime, a military lawyer said. Instead, it might just be murder. wapo.st/49KbUJ1

the requirement is, of course, “be white” amp.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

This is AMAZING journalism. The New York Times went through Trump's court filings related to what is happening in Chicago. There are videos, testimonies, and photographs. You can see this for yourself.

I love when @brianphillips.bsky.social decides to step up to the plate and belt a 450-foot home run www.theringer.com/2025/11/25/n...

Blueskyism

Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.* The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

This is a story about how America’s world-leading cancer and dementia research system was destroyed by frauds and naifs who broke the law. There must be consequences.

Earnestly think he could get $1 trillion in federal funding for free buses if he complimented the new gold trim in the Oval Office

Major Republican pollster warns that digging in on anti-Nazism will fracture their coalition

My “my 17 references to George Soros aren’t political” footnote is raising a lot of questions answered by my footnote.

Revolting.

"Things happen" sometimes, like when you walk into an embassy to apply for your marriage license while your bride-to-be waits outside, but then you get bonesawed to pieces for having exercised freedom of speech as an US-based journalist and have to be carried out in a series of suitcases.

No Rapist Left Behind

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, heir to the throne of Saudi Arabia and current de-facto ruler of that kingdom, whose word is law and power is unquestioned, is visibly like “whoah dude, dial down the authoritarian thing a bit”

talking about MBS like he's sam darnold or baker mayfield having a career year

Really worried what bombshell Lizza will drop next:

Don't be chickenshit. bsky.app/profile/npr....

Email from a student who turned in a ChatGPT essay. Not even looking at the ChatGPT output in the apology 🥴

“It could be in the form of a child’s love. Or in a stranger’s kind deed. In fact, the $2,000 could be in the room with you right now, and you were just too busy to notice. $2,000 is all around us.”

The difference between the sociopathic and non-sociopathic takes is really quite stark

His sincere updates on his attempted relationship with a student are so creepy and cringe, and then you remember the person Larry Summers is pouring his heart out to is DISGRACED CHILD SEX TRAFFICKER JEFFREY EPSTEIN, IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHTEEN

Instead of getting mad, realize how easy these people are to impress

I am begging America to not be stupid enough to embrace a racist and an antisemite because Donald Trump thinks she's a meanie. Just grab some popcorn and watch the Nazis fight.

Imamoglu inspires me a ton because he keeps staring down brutal, illiberal suppression of political opposition and refuses to give up. They stripped him of his college degree so he wouldn't legally be able to run for President and he just said “I will never bow” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/11/w...

Basically saying "if you do crime for me, I won't only pardon you--I'll give you millions of dollars of public money." Truly unprecedented level of corruption www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion
