Kentucky Secretary of State who is obsessed enough w Neil Peart to give him second billing on the official government website.

we need a plan for the Chicago Boys just like we need a plan for the inheritors of the slavery aristocracy. you can live, but not like this.

It is agonizing to now watch another city go through this

complete vibe turnaround (derogatory) from yesterday

The mid-aughts? In my field, it was until COVID-19 hit.

A reminder during Native American Heritage Month: The legacy of centuries of oppression and theft from Native people is their vast overrepresentation in state prisons.

THE WASHINGTON SPIRIT ARE GOING TO THE FINALS!

please say they’re gonna just keep the iconic MARC train fabric on the seats.

allowing prisoners to file compassionate release motions in fed court was a great thing that came of a certain moment in time. as someone who has litigated many of these cases, I’ve seen judges over time try callously to turn an obviously open-ended statute into one that has little effect. it sucks!

haven’t heard much talk about this, so maybe I have the wrong read, but I think there is a huge risk of Medicaid expansion states ditching the expansion in light of OBBBA and instead finally taking up ACA BHPs and moving people into them. 25K people to be kicked from Medicaid at the new year in DC.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

do you think Kimpton got the George Washington inaugural address wallpaper custom or do they sell that on Wayfair?

hawking a regurgitated Ownership Society to a country full of people who have to spend six days on hold for the remote chance of speaking with someone who actually works at their health insurance company and is not a eugenicist chatbot is really not gonna hit.

“‘The fact that U of M is using Ypsilanti as a dumping ground, a sacrifice zone, is unacceptable,’ [Ypsi city councilmember] Fellows said.”

CVS controls so much healthcare and payment infrastructure (and sells Cheetos and makeup remover) in the USA that this could be referring to approximately 100 things.

Arianna Sofia Veraza and her parents were driving to Sam's Club for milk, eggs and diapers yesterday when they heard helicopters and horns blaring yesterday. They had turned around to leave when a federal agent pepper-sprayed them through a car window. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/09/c...

YOU ARE NOW ENTERING FREE YPSI

wow, upward redistribution. who woulda thought.

“.. The Agriculture Department issued the command in a late-night Saturday memo .. That guidance threatened to impose financial penalties on states that did not “comply” quickly with the government’s new orders.” @tonyromm.bsky.social #SNAP www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

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.

Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

not me I would never make fun of a DC jury. putting up Barry Bonds acquittal numbers reliably year after year, no asterisk.

ladies if your bestie looks like the woman on the left, ask yourself if your friendship is really serving you. think about whether she’s as conscientious as she wants you to believe she is.

posting this from the handle of a foundation that spends millions and millions of dollars trying to convince everyone that “it’s science” that everything can only ever get max 0.5% better and that only they know how to do it is so beautiful. I love life.

pic of him in the Indiana Fever hat was the perfect choice

half-surprised by the framing of this, as medetomidine has been documented in the supply in the area for quite a while, and many of us have been begging the city to include test strips in their distributions, which only include fentanyl and xylazine strips. we’ve been ordering on our own for months.

had some issues voting this morning bc “you have to get your ID changed to match your registration.” but PA doesn’t send a new license if you change your address, just a little paper add-on card they tell you to carry with your ID (which I was doing). touch and go but they finally let me vote.

Sorry to this man.

This is quite a story: the US employed every strongarm tactic available, including personal threats against delegates and their families, to derail an agreement on reducing shipping emissions that was almost finalized. on.ft.com/47lq3dZ

I did my fair share of making fun of people who watched Stranger Things, but I didn’t specifically make fun of people who learned about Kate Bush from Stranger Things because I myself learned about Kate Bush from Love & Basketball.

last thing we need right now is a bunch of barbz rushing to sign up for the marines

If you live in the great city of Philadelphia, you can vote NO next week on retention for Judge Henry Lewandowski, who takes pride in presiding over the Office of Public Safety’s disastrous “wellness court,” which is wreaking havoc on Kensington residents. www.kensingtonvoice.com/new-fast-tra...

SILICON VALLEY SLOPPY DISK GUY: we have Rachel Getting Married at home. The Rachel Getting Married at home:

57 now dead in 13 attacks. Fact sheet now updated at www.wola.org/analysis/fac...

repurposing the journalism sins sign for elected officials.

It’s tiresome at this point, but again, their entire pitch is “wouldn’t it be great if there were no such things as talent, craft, and skill,” and what that means is a bland, slop-filled world. www.businessinsider.com/marc-andrees...

“They bundled me like a log of wood from all the sides and they were just carrying me like a corpse,” he said. … “I told him ‘I can’t breathe,’” the man said. “He responded, ’I don’t care, I’m doing my job.’”

even if you already think regulatory law is just an honor system, wait until you find out about “dietary supplements.“

'We're chasing what's left of life': Gazans journey back to destruction

"[W]hen 'bullets crashed through the window and hit Miguel,' he turned to the 18 year-old boy sitting next to him in the van and said, 'I don't think I'm going to make it, get underneath me. Let me shield you.'" #Texas #USA #Incarceration #Deportation #EthnicCleansing

As a former paramedic I just have to say “concussion protocols” in pro sports are motivated by capital and not medical evidence and, besides, they’re never followed. This is a serious occupational health issue, and players’ unions are among those falling down in the job. It’s disgusting to watch.

let’s fucking go.

"While the firefighters were inside, a white panel van of the kind ICE sometimes uses to transport detainees raced out of the federal complex's underground garage and through the gap in the crowd that had parted to let the fire truck pass, according to eyewitnesses.”

she only supports killing children in *other* countries.

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”
