I think a lot of people are really underestimating the number of "normies" who've gotten actively involved in organizing over the past year!

THIS is what real "news distortion" looks like: The president of the United States bullied CBS into selectively editing an interview with him. The FCC should repeal its news distortion policy as a dangerous weapon against the free press, but if it won't, it must open a docket here

"Corn ethanol requires millions of acres that could instead be used for food crops or more efficient energy sources. One recent study found that solar panels can generate as much energy as corn ethanol on roughly 3% of the land."

The Trump Administration has hired a new Epstein Archivist. gothamist.com/news/employe...

This will be interesting... My dad ran a federally regulated S&L and every time they wanted so much as a new branch they went through a proposal process with regulators in Atlanta to make sure the area wouldn't get oversaturated. gothamist.com/news/the-can...

Love this 😀 ❤️ enjoy and repost 🔄 my friends 🤗

The foreign-born fraction of the US population was 15% in 1890, and in 1910. America thrived. That fraction is 16% now. The difference is that in 1890/1910, >96% of immigrants were from Europe or Canada. Today that's less than 10%. It's best to be honest about one one is actually afraid of.

The entire U.S. population is in the low hundreds of millions (340m), meaning that according to NoemMath, nearly all of us were on track for a cocaine-related death. I am so grateful to have been saved.

I hope all the folks standing behind Trump feel real good about being the backdrop for the racist ravings of a jerk.

America could use a Laura Nyro revival.

He shouldn’t just be pushed out as the House Democrats’ leader; he needs to be primaried out of his seat entirely. Just a complete waste of a deep blue seat.

EBT cannot be used to buy prepared food, let alone at a fast food restaurant. That is the law today.

73.6% of Republican statistics are pulled straight from their ass

Sure ACTS like he works for Russia. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

Paul Williams is a genuinely nice guy. We ate near him in a sushi restaurant in the Village but I didn't want to bother him. I reached out to him on Twitter the next day and he said I absolutely should have said hello to him at the restaurant. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/a...

The Trump administration continues to flaunt court orders, and in this case doesn't care if people go hungry. civileats.com/2025/12/02/u...

oh wow you mean rounding up day laborers outside home depot or extorting universities into donating to his library hasnt improved your material conditions? what about how trans kids cant play jv volleyball anymore, did that help you at all? who could have known

If you ever wondered what GOP gerrymandering looks like in red states with blue cities, I present:

Thinking a lot about this moment from literally the first chapter of "1984."

Easy enough to get the gist from the skeet, but as Andy reminds in the video, Obama was President at the time & Hegseth raises the idea that a President deserving loyalty isn't guaranteed. (You'll recall that many whites resented the idea of a black in the WH.)

Remember the old days, when we owned our software and could upgrade or not as we chose, and could stand pat with what we’d already paid?

America’s very real issues with food on the table, housing, health insurance costs, gasoline costs are as NOTHING to the pharaoh. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

Asked whether Mr. Trump fell asleep, Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said in a statement that the president was “listening attentively and running the entire” meeting. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

Everyone needs to know Nashville is a Dem stronghold. Has been for decades.

A +14 shift to the Dems in a very red district applied nationwide next year means a solidly blue House and a chance to retake the Senate against an extremely unfavorable map.

If she hasn’t yet, it’s time for someone to make a graceful concession call.

Trump seems to think his opponent in the 2024 election was a "he"

NEW: A newly enacted NY state law requires retailers to reveal whether it used "surveillance pricing" to decide how much you pay for goods. Target, for example, shows the alert on a pop-up when you try to buy eggs online. @regret.bsky.social—@wired.com's new investigative data reporter!—reports:

NEW: Pete Hegseth told an audience in a 2016 video that the military “won’t follow unlawful orders from their commander in chief,” and described the refusal of illegal commands as a part of the military’s ethos — a message he now condemns Democrats for spreading. www.cnn.com/2025/12/02/u...

Fuck you if you support him.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Couldn't stay awake through his own trial, either

We've already given more than our annual budget for charities, so I will be staying away from the promotions folder in my gmail today, but if you have money to spare, consider giving today; many charities are matching donations.

The astounding thing here is the date: The lawsuits allege USA Gymnastics failed to act on complaints received about Gardner *in December 2017,* which was at the height of the criminal cases against Larry Nassar — in other words, in the middle of the national scrutiny of its failure to stop Nassar

Two plays in on Wordle… I know four of the five letters and I know where one of them goes, and I feel like setting up a Scrabble tray with tiles

"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor of the House of Representatives, and we know that's the case." This is a flat-out 100% lie from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and he knows it. Impeachment resolutions are privileged, they can force a vote at any time.

Someone put a bib on himself which, instead of the shape of a lobster, reads PRIMARY ME

I still remember the MSG show where, three songs in, it just wasn't working, & I told the audience "this is it, sorry, I can't do it, you'll get your" and then the glockenspiel player pulled me aside and reminded me these people hadn't just bought >my< tickets; they'd gone to dinner, they'd hired

So what did you think of the Super Bowl ads?

This is sadistic, ghoulish even ... bloodthirsty

On the 70th anniversary of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, I hope folks remember that: 1) It was the fruit of over a decade of planning and activism and 2) The boycotters endured 381 straight days — every morning, every evening, every weekend — of threats, harassment and sometimes bombings.

Who is President?
