The NLRB Is Suing to Keep States From Protecting Workers’ Rights talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/the-nlr...

Having written a whole damn book about why the line between warrior and murderer is so incredibly important, it makes me equal parts angry and heartbroken to see the SecDef insist that line isn’t there. It is, and it matters both to the direct victims and to the troops who will suffer moral injury.

Keep in mind that white American males shot and killed countless Americans including many children, and no one ever did a thing but protect their right to do it again.

You've heard of the Friday night news dump. Here's the Friday night of Thanksgiving wknd dump. For special circumstances, like when the faculty assembly votes 595-4 against paying to end a shakedown and you do it anyway. Link to agreement here: bulkmail.northwestern.edu/trk/click?re...

What a great headline

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.

16-year-old American Mohammed Ibrahim has been released after over 9 months in an Israeli prison without trial. I was relieved to hear from his family today and to know that he’s safe and where he belongs — with his family.

What’s old is new again. America has always wrestled with its better and darker angels. And pulling up the ladder behind you is, for better or worse, as American as 🍎 pie.

Celebrate Black Friday by looking things up on amazon and buying them from the product website that is not amazon.

This is sickening. Everything about Stephen Miller is abhorrent.

Declaration of white supremacy

ICE DETAINED MARILYN. Fuck these people. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

We have so much to be thankful for if we just take the time to consider how much worse everything could actually be. 🙏 #HappyThanksgiving2025_Everyone 💖

Dept. of your politics are political but our politics are apolitical (which goes all the way up to "our gender ideology is not a gender ideology but yours is").

Oh, this is so not ok. Hands off Marilyn!!

"Imagine you stole all of the intellectual property in the world. And you're using it to help people write middling emails and make revenge porn about women, and also children. And you're powering this plagiarism and non-consensual porn machine by eating up what's left of humanity's carbon budget."

It didn’t even take 6 hours.

So it sounds like DARPA are about to cancel their ASIMOV project (I have sources). Why does this matter, you ask? Well, Asimov was a project that sought to work out if autonomous weapons systems could obey the laws of war, act ethically etc etc...

BREAKING: A judge has dismissed the election interference case against Trump and his allies, wiping out charges linked to their push to overturn the results of the 2020 election. More on the case below ⬇️

Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma. Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply. With @readfrontier.bsky.social

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.

Whoa. WTF?

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities. Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise bylinetimes.com/2025/11/25/m...

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history." BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2036...

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

3 infant #pertussis deaths this year in Kentucky. "Of the three infant deaths reported over the past 12 months, all three were not vaccinated, nor were their mothers." We first tested maternal vaccination for whooping cough over 80 years ago. It's safe & effective & might have saved these babies.

To recap: •Universal healthcare would save 68,000 lives & $450B annually •Every $1 spent on SNAP results in $1.80 boost to local economies & small businesses •The child tax credit decreased child poverty to a historic low of 5.2%, abolishing it increased it by 45% 1/2

GDP data Jobs data Inflation data Food insecurity data Right-wing violence data The reports aren’t being deleted and withheld because they contain good news.

This is heartbreakingly cruel and hypocritical. The same admin that has redefined refugee status to cover white South Africans is now going to drown thousands of refugees already approved for their status in red tape, potentially even seeking to strip some of their status and deport them.

Because this went so well last time around. Not to mention our last proper jungly war...

NEW: The fight for voting rights didn’t end on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. It’s happening today in places like Newbern, Alabama, where white officials secretly blocked a Black mayor-elect in 2020. What the Supreme Court does next could change everything. ✍️ @jimsaksa.com

absolutely incredible -- CNN host introduces a segment about Trump's "new healthcare proposal," but less than two minutes later breaks into her script to announce "breaking news" that Trump's healthcare proposal is being postponed

This is who she was. Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best. Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

#NoContractNoCoffee is gaining serious momentum. ✊ www.nocontractnocoffee.org ✊ to spread the word to boycott Starbucks in solidarity with striking workers, send a letter to the Starbucks CEO demanding a fair contract for workers, and join a picket line or action near you!

I cannot imagine what could possibly go wrong in trying to court-martial an astronaut and pilot decorated multiple times for valor and exceptional service, who is also a sitting senator, for correctly making the point that service members are obliged not to follow unlawful orders

One thing that is not getting enough attention is that Trump has normalized the idea of the United States supporting the transfer of territory and millions of people from a democracy to a dictatorship. The ending of freedom for millions is now the official US position.

A @nytimes.com investigation has found that state prison guards have been credibly accused of engaging in such behavior — putting inmates in restraints and then assaulting them — far more often than was previously known.

"The father of four, an immigrant from Afghanistan who helped the U.S. military fight the Taliban, is in a Springfield, Missouri, jail — held with other immigrants picked up in nationwide sweeps. Dadfar is 37 and an asylum-seeker with work authorization." https://bit.ly/4rxmaL8.

“I think most Americans would be stunned to learn that international adoptees have not all been automatically granted the same status as their U.S. parents. Several grown adoptees have already been deported, including individuals who came to the United States as infants”

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...

COMMENTARY: Donald Trump has dismantled a global order built over decades — one that brought Americans unprecedented prosperity, security and freedom, writes Ivo Daalder, a former US ambassador to NATO. 🔗 politi.co/3LKSnOB

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

Utterly lawless

The US now has the Thiel-Vance foreign policy, the Steve Witkoff foreign policy, the Jared Kushner foreign policy, the Marco Rubio foreign policy, and once in a blue moon the Donald Trump foreign policy... and Putin and Netanyahu plus Saudi, UAE & Qatar drive most of it.

Once again, the cruelty is the point.

we appear to be on to version six of this story

Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.” www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

since the "google is now training gemini on your email contents" thing keeps bumping around here: it's _not happening_. I say this not to defend google but because I know a lot of people that have broken their filtering and made their lives much more annoying from sheer misinformation.
