Speaking of illegal orders, the Comey and James cases have been tossed because the DOG illegally appointed Halligan. And is probably why the Pentagon now claims to be opening an investigation into Senator Kelly — to use an abuse of power in the military court system. How’s Monday going so far?…

Yesterday, Reverend Crawford and the Union Grove Missionary Baptist Church in the Bronx shared their profound love of this city with me. Together, we will build a city that loves every New Yorker back.

Fascism: Extreme and authoritarian nationalism, totalitarian state control over society and the economy, suppression of political opposition, and the glorification of a supreme leader. It promotes a hierarchical and often militarized view of society, rejecting liberal democracy.

Social democracy: within a democratic and capitalist system, it seeks to moderate economic and social inequalities through state intervention. It prioritizes the welfare state, labor protections, and wealth redistribution through progressive taxation, without abolishing private property.

Racial profiling is all they do. Lawless.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

We’re about to invade Venezuela because trump wants their oil. No other reason. The airspace has been cleared. Embassies are being evacuated. Flights are being canceled. He’s going to kill people for oil.

Trump bought Boeing bonds while rewarding the company billions in federal contracts. He bought Intel bonds after directing the government to acquire a stake in the company. He bought Meta bonds while pushing AI-friendly policy. Trump isn’t governing — he’s cashing in.

you know what? good advice.

i know we've all laughed about the worm and the affair but this is a profoundly dangerous person who should be expelled from the government.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

If your number one argument against Karoline Leavitt is something about her looks, I think you might want to consider reflecting on your thoughts about women, superficial facades and perhaps prioritize thinking about her lies, hypocrisy, secrecy, immorality and evasiveness.

Today there was an attempted ICE raid in Bensonhurst & community members showed up. Even though NYPD collaborated with ICE by trying to disburse the crowd; community members stood their ground & ICE left without kidnapping a single person per the rapid response groups I'm on. We protect us!

The DOJ has been pressing states since May for their registration rolls, which include sensitive personal information of every single voter, claiming the agency wants to ensure compliance with federal voter laws. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Epstein survivor: "Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government still belongs to the American people or to those who prey on them."

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not just the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

hypercentralizers are not having a good day today -- #github has joined #cloudflare to block or slow down millions of folks from doing stuff. Maybe a good time to checkout out this new ACLU article about the current Apple/Google app-store oligopoly […] [Original post on chaos.social]

The resistance is growing

Techbros: “We reinvented money and now it’s computer money and it’s totally better than old money except also it’s value is still technically calculated by the standard of old money oh ALSO it needs more power than many countries, does your inferior dollar bill need to be plugged in? I THINK NOT.”

"You know us...So please trust us now when we say that what is happening in the Chicago area is wrong." Powerful letter from retired Chicago broadcast journalists about what ICE/CBP is doing to our city: "it is terror" www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/13/l...

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Texas A&M adopts policy requiring professors to get OK from school president to discuss certain race and gender issues.

In light of today's blockbuster news, go back and watch my interview with Cong. Eric Swalwell. While pundits were offering a dozen policy reasons for the government shutdown, Swalwell nailed it. “We have shut down the government to protect Donald Trump and how close he is to the Epstein Files.

Stay classy Larry

This person was the President of Harvard University, the US Secretary of the Treasury, and the Director of the National Economic Council of the United States.

Always worth bringing back up that a big part of why evopsych became such a thing was that Jeffrey Epstein was bankrolling it through academic donations

It’s funny that Harvard has been a consistent target for reactionary campaigns, and not one has been dedicated to ousting Larry Summers, an openly political figure who was friends with Jeffrey Epstein; meanwhile, it’s a fine-toothed comb for *checks notes* Black women.

Lest there be any insinuation that Dems spared their own. It would be tough for Kathy Ruemmler—Obama’s WH Counsel from 2011 to mid-2014—to come off looking worse in these docs the committee Dems released. oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Got turned down on a piece about ICE in Chicago for an international news org because they believed I couldn’t be objective about my neighbors getting kidnapped. And well, guilty as charged I guess.

“When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One"

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

learning to program in the late 90s and early 00s, you’d inevitably run across classic works like Goto Considered Harmful and No Silver Bullet, even if you weren’t particularly bookish, and there was tons of discourse about HCI as well, all grounded in decades of research i’m afraid that’s all gone

The US bombs a fishing vessel for suspected drug activities, a man survives, both the US and Ecuador release him because there's "no evidence he committed any crime". Yet somehow his non-crime was so severe he had to be bombed by US military. So insane. #military www.cbsnews.com/news/ecuador...

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

NEW: Tennessee has one of the highest rates of gun-related homicide. A blind spot in the state's probation department appears at a time when experts say offenders are a danger to domestic violence victims, @wpln.bsky.social and @propublica.org found.

Last time it was here I couldn’t see it with my eyes but the camera could

Great thread on why the Nordic model of sex work is an abject failure and the only approach that has ever actually improved sex worker safety is full decriminalization

Jeffries: Democrats are going to offer an amendment to get that self dealing sick provision out… The notion that Republicans would give themselves the ability to rip millions of taxpayer dollars away so they can line their pockets, because these people were insurrectionist sympathizers is insanity.

Jeffries strongly criticizes Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers forrefusing to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits, which is set to dramatically increase healthcare costs for millions. 70 times they tried to repeal health care

Jeffries, Democrats will offer 3-year extension of ObamaCare subsidies thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Jeffries: We are not going to be lectured by anyone on the other side of the aisle about fiscal responsibility when the bill that you just passed is the most fiscally irresponsible piece of legislation ever…

Sigh. :( Anyone paying attention saw it coming as part of the domino run. We need a court of 13 appointed by a moderate or progressive prez. I'm a crone & remember the cases to overturn bans on people of different skin hues or faiths marrying. The xNats are serious about erasing differences.

“All _____ should die” is an immediate unfollow from me, even if it is “boomers” filling in the blank. Ageism and ableism isn’t an appropriate response to politicians who have hoarded power.

it is almost as if someone was promoted beyond their ability

They’re simply waiting for a better case to sink their lupine incisors into.

On Veterans Day, we honor those who served and commit to serving them in return — not just in words, but in actions. Affordability and a real commitment to mental health are essential to ensure that every veteran can build a future here in New York City.

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow. She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.
