a billionaire who sees undermining political sovereignty as an alternative to paying a relatively minor fine is a problem that will have to be dealt with eventually

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

How Oregon’s Data Center Boom Is Supercharging a Water Crisis Amazon has come to the state’s eastern farmland, worsening a water pollution problem that’s been linked to cancer and miscarriages. Rolling Stone reports in collaboration with @thefern.org: www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

The volume of water needed to cool the servers in data centers has become a nationwide resource issue. Volume isn’t the most pressing problem in Morrow County, however. The issue is pollution, which Amazon’s data centers have exacerbated since its arrival. 🔗 www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Mark Kelly is a heroic public servant. Donald Trump is a treasonous criminal. Period. www.cnn.com/2025/11/24/p...

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

The truth will have its day. That day is now. Release all the Epstein files.

at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd. he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him. situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should resign and be criminally charged, according to critics who seized on a report revealing that zero people who were arrested in a high-profile raid were charged with a crime.

Plz read this imp public service 🧵 Nuremberg is out, and I am making a special request you go see it. Go see Nuremberg: not only will it teach you about the Nazis’ many, many crimes, including the Holocaust which is (rightly) the one thing people know about the Third Reich.

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

Priests being arrested

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

A Republican sheriff in a swing county that Trump won by 0.1% signed a contract to help ICE, then lost last week by 11. New by me in @boltsmag.org: boltsmag.org/sheriff-of-b...

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

Absolutely this 💯

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Chuck Schumer, don't you dare SELL US OUT! What is the point of opening the government now when all you got is a "promise" for a vote? Tell me how this is a win, when the House votes it down and Trump does not sign off, even if it's passed in the Senate?

(1 of 3) Good thing the BBC didn't talk to any January 6 experts before going in this direction. The United States Capitol grounds were closed on January 6. It was a federal crime to trespass on them. Trump told leaders of an illegal march intended to terminate illegally on federal grounds...

The Onion never misses. Check the date

One of the many reasons I hate this is that it takes advantage of the fact that people won't do the math. $4,200 is $11.50/day. For a family of four, that's 96¢ per meal.

“In my work with the (Nuremberg Trial) defendants, I was searching for the nature of evil, and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy... a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.” - Captain G.M. Gilbert, US Army

And I would like to challenge this person to get a real job

Ok friends, buckle up, it’s funny story time! I’m teaching a unit where my students have to learn how to describe people in Spanish. We use famous people to keep it fun and interesting. But because I’m old and out of touch, and I don’t know what celebs these young’uns know…

I swear the print edition of The Onion is the only thing keeping me sane through all this nonsense

40% of SNAP recipients are kids, 18% are elderly, 11% are disabled and of the rest, ~70% already have jobs. So unless your company’s hiring Junior Juice Box Interns, grandma and her walker, or knows how to fit more hours in a day, maybe cool it with the “just get a job” takes.

Take a lesson from the Black Panthers who understood how to feed people

An ICE deportation flight (OAE3747) that departed Alexandria, LA, is bound for multiple destinations in Southeast Asia (and maybe a few others on the way). It is now in Baltimore, MD, for refuelling and set to depart shortly. More updates to come.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

I attended the #NoKings protest in ABQ!

1. Today, I have a few things to say about that putz Stephen Miller. First, he’s been on TV a lot lately, because that’s how he pours more poison into the president’s already-poisoned brain.

I just injected this into my veins and haven't been able to stop laughing for over an hour now. Please help. 🤣
