We all know Clarke's "sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" Well we have corollary:

Finland ended homelessness with a housing first strategy that gave people apartments before they secured employment Now they’re proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days True work life balance Meanwhile in the US, people work two jobs and can’t afford food or healthcare.

My law firm is currently litigating 65 voting and election cases in 30 states. We have plans for another dozen or so. The 2026 midterm elections are shaping up to be a fight to protect free and fair election. I started Democracy Docket to keep you informed. Sign up now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

CNN Finds Israel Killed Palestinian Aid Seekers and Bulldozed Bodies into Shallow, Unmarked Graves

Holy shit. Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Let us also demand better from our leaders. Let us make it clear that the President should never use the R slur and we just refuse to let his base normalize it. Disabled lives matter, and they’re under threat. Be intentional with your language. Be inclusive.

ICE is moving from illegal raids and brutality to ethic cleansing, just like any good Gestapo would do...

This is too much.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night. Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim. Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen. Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

Don't talk to me about a single US law while the cheater-in-chief gets to do literally whatever he wants.🤬 If this regime won't be bound by law... Why are we still following them? F*ck this insanity, America. 🖕 DJT Get mad. Get furious. Get loud. Make them feel our rage.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime. If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder. It’s that simple.

There are flyers circulating and even mailers showing up in people’s mailboxes in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District that list the wrong date for the upcoming special election. Voters are being told to vote on the incorrect day.

abolishing ice can be made conceptually moderate-friendly imo. either potential justification for its existence is bad: its purpose is either to terrorize peaceful immigrants who live here or to go after a specific group for stuff that’s already illegal for everyone.

Everything Trumpiggy does starts from the premise: how do we avoid the law/rule. He should be rotting in a cell for all the crimes he has committed and the criminal behavior he has fostered.

The FBI accessed and spied on a Signal group chat that was organizing immigrant “court watch” efforts in NYC. I feel like this should be bigger news. You aren’t supposed to be able to spy on Signal chats. Were they invited? How did they get access? Was there a warrant?

There's a danger within our military that not enough people are talking about: Flight crashes are killing our troops at record rates. I'm pushing for answers to get to the bottom of this.

An MP in Zimbabwe has called for the repeal of the country's "backwards" 1977 abortion law. He argued that safe abortion should be available to a wider range of Zimbabwean women, as it is currently restricted to a privileged few. Each year, 60,000 women die due to unsafe abortion.

BREAKING: RealPage is suing New York, challenging a new state law that bans landlords from using algorithms to set rents. RealPage claims that its software, which landlords have used to collude on rents, is protected by the First Amendment.

What if Dems ran on sacrificing James Carville's human rights?

The Defense Department opened an investigation into Senator Mark Kelly (a former Navy captain and astronaut) after he appeared in a video urging service members to reject unlawful commands.

Settle your quarrels, come together, understand the reality of our situation, understand that fascism is already here, that people are already dying who could be saved, that generations more will live poor butchered half-lives if you fail to act...

Warning for North Carolina: Scams are increasing, and the confusion is being made worse by ICE agents failing to properly identify themselves and wearing masks. As a result, residents are becoming targets of immigration fraud.

We are past the point of no return. Because we are currently in fascism. From now on we either fight to stop fascism or our country is fascist. PERIOD

REVOLUTION

ICE AND CBP ARE TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS.

Update: The State Department has once again changed the language back to saying transgender people's passports will be valid "until they are invalidated pursuant to federal regulations."

Why am I so against generative AI in games? Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

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.

Well there goes Christmas 😒 Santa Claus will never get a visa! 🎅🎄 www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

“Parents who, after consulting with a doctor and a psychologist, allow their 15-year-old child to transition commit child abuse. The child is too young to consent!” --Megyn R. Kelly “Grown men who have sex with your 15-year-old? Big whoop! It’s not like she’s 8. LOL!” --Also Megyn R. Kelly

Boo. www.npr.org/2025/11/12/g...

We stand with Rep. Jasmine Crockett in calling for an end to voting machines owned by Dominion. Our voting systems should never be controlled by anyone aligned with MAGA politics. It’s time to push for statewide bans on these machines.

U.S. catholic bishops criticizing Trump's crackdowns obscured that at the same conference they tried to make sure way more trans people die due to a lack of life-saving medical care. Catholic hospitals see 1 in 7 patients. In some areas they're the only medical system: www.npr.org/2025/11/12/g...

Because the NPR piece and a lot of other coverage didn't mention the catholic bishops' conference vote total on banning trans healthcare at the church's hospitals: 206 in favor, 8 abstained, 7 against The catholic church hierarchy is overwhelmingly against life-saving trans healthcare.

The bill to reopen the government sneaks in three changes that will cause harm: A stricter ban on abortion nationwide An end to FDA food safety regulations A near total ban on hemp products that will outlaw THC and remove another pain control option from the market They want to cause pain

in retrospect the metoo movement did not go too far and in fact should have been given spanish inquisition levels of power and authority

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

Alphabet is Google's parent company, why do they need tax breaks?

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me. I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

Private equity drove a nursing home chain into the ground. Then it declared bankruptcy, which could let it off the hook for hurting patients. Now, it's trying to sell the company to the same people who bankrupted it. @blumenthal.senate.gov @goodlander.house.gov and I are sounding the alarm.

Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

Dear Seattle friends:

we've reached this weird point with masking and science that like sure I still don't know what's going on with my immune system and my own autoimmune disorder but I'm more masking because I don't want a disease that will ya know wipe out the immune memory and fuck with my T cells

of all the things about this deal that are pissing me off this might have pissed me off the most

Average healthcare costs in the US: Giving birth? $18,000 Cancer treatment? $150,000 One month ICU stay? Between 30k and 150k. That’s not including copays, deductibles, interest and all the other hoops you have to jump through. Cost in Canada? $0. Cost in the UK? $0. Cost in Australia? $0.
