This will ruin our country.

Yet another long feature article about political violence that refuses to acknowledge the basic reality that right-wing violence is far more common than left-wing violence. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

So we’re just gonna do Iraq all over again, I guess. Too bad Toby Keith isn’t around to see this.

I wish all figures of authority cared about moms and babies. But some don’t. Some even want you to hurt. And those are the people who cast doubt on the vaccination miracle that has allowed so many of us to live longer and better. kentuckylantern.com/2025/11/25/t...

This absurd pardon shows the murderous boat bombings were never about stopping drugs

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture

What’s hilarious about this is it’s a loser move: no one watches TV anymore. Bari Weiss has been gifted the helm of a sinking ship. The genie is out of the bottle. We no longer have a mass media.

Some in the Leavitt family reportedly pushed her to self-deport after she was detained—back to a country where she has no home, and hardly speaks the language.

He helped the families of dying children. Spent all night with them even once the child was taken to the morgue. A former colleague tells us on the record that Ayman Soliman is the reason certain poor families who lost their babies at the hospital didn’t have… www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

We will not be silenced. We will not be divided. We stand with David Huerta. We stand for workers, immigrants, and democracy. #JusticeForDavid @davidhuerta-seiu.bsky.social @seiuca.org

One of the big tidal forces of the coming years is that the baseline reliability of things you see on a screen is going to decline. I think this has not been adequately metabolized. This is one version, but there are a bunch of them.

A roundtrip LAX-JFK flight in the late 60s was around $3K in today’s dollars. The people who wore suits on those flights were the people who regularly wore suits. Complaining about informally-dressed fliers is complaining that the wrong sorts of people are flying today.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

A Free Society

Excellent news!

Waymo privatized another public street: Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away. The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined. OP: .tiktok.renaspam18

Saw this in an insufferable FB thread of reactions to four U.S. citizens being arrested by ICE. This is a random guy, making a point that used to be more common among the right-wing, but should inspire us all. Anyway, it gave me hope.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals. The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry. Where is the MAHA outcry?

NEW: Senators have called for an investigation after a ProPublica story revealed that Kristi Noem-connected firm the Strategy Group was secretly hired as a subcontractor on a $220 million DHS ad campaign.

Meta halted internal research that purportedly showed (young) people who stopped using Facebook became less depressed and anxious, according to an unredacted legal filing released on Friday. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/m...

Reposting to remember to watch

Social media harms children—and it does so accidentally on purpose.

Favorite read so far this morning: NYT on Trump and Mamdani buddy comedy. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/u...

I get that woke is dead and all—but could we at least do *grammatically correct* pronouns? I get that most people with “immense power” have a “himself”—but at least 51% of us Regular People actually do not.

I read this, chuckled, and moved on with my evening. But then my mind came back to it because of how absolutely pathetic it is. It does not matter how much gold this ogre hoards. He will never be cool.

The left has failed generations across the globe

The Epstein files are about so much more than the disgusting, criminal dealings of one man. They're about how the rich and powerful are rigging our entire system to give themselves money, cover, and influence. Buying elections. Warping our economy. Subverting justice. Enough.

New ORR rules are reshaping the family reunification process - & not for the better - by demanding increasingly invasive & burdensome documentation even when reunification is clearly in a child’s best interests. The result: prolonged custody for children who have loving family ready to receive them.

Markwayne Mullin: "Reward people for being healthy. Think about this. Healthcare is the only industry that you're not rewarded for taking care of your responsibility. If you think about homeowners insurance, if you're within 500 feet of a fire hydrant, your insurance goes down."

the only real way to think about these raids is terrorist attacks

The bigger and less-vetted this force becomes, the more of this we will see.

As a direct result of President Trump's Big Ugly Bill, almost 300 jobs will be cut from Providence Swedish's First Hill, Cherry Hill, Ballard, and Issaquah hospitals and clinics. These are not the only layoffs we've seen in our health care system in Washington state in recent months.

This is only possible with giant vats of venture capital with nowhere to go. And those giant vats are only made possible by underpaying the workers who create them.

Damn dawg

Yeah. What now?

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

The difference between the sociopathic and non-sociopathic takes is really quite stark

People used to throw rocks at you until you died for this kind of stuff

Exactly! If Democrats need to focus on affordability, just ... focus on affordability. Don't constantly give lectures about how other people with the exact same job as you need to do it differently.

Dems should promise not only to prosecute the Trump family for enriching themselves at the expense of the country but also to use the tools of government to seize the wealth they’ve illegally accrued during his presidential terms. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/15/w...

The Athletic polled hundreds of players from across the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL about their opinions surrounding how sports betting impacts players — the responses were haunting.
