The Doctor is right and correct

Small businesses are the cornerstone of our communities. On Small Business Saturday and throughout the holidays, shop local.

The NYT and the Washington Post are simply ignoring the rapidly growing constitutional crisis in the White House. Almost nothing in their news coverage or opinion sections. They are as culpable as anyone in this.

There is no way to calculate the amount of harm this administration has caused. Even if this 19yo is able to come back to this country & be reunited with her family, the trauma of this incident will be with her forever. How can she ever feel safe here again? And how does this make anyone else safer?

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes. If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store. Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

I'm ICE, boys. I love crashing cars, getting divorced, crashing cars, bargain bin jeans, texting while driving, crashing cars, OLD GLORY, and let's not forget my one true passion in life—crashing cars

Must be nice to have a real supreme court

If you’d just serve the people instead of the donor class, you wouldn’t need the donor class. A million $20 donors beats one $10M donor every time.

Republican extremists are determined to rip healthcare away from the American people. They don’t give a damn about making your life more affordable. You deserve better.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

Whoever set up a functional gmail style inbox of Epstein's inbox deserves a journalism prize. jmail.world

We really can’t get enough of these

AOC on MTG retiring: "She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

🤣🤣

From a spokesperson for U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin:

Someone made a clone of Gmail where you're logged in as Epstein and can see his emails. [https://jmail.world/]

I’ve often called this song—“Just Like Heaven”—the finest single of the 80s and meant it. This cover’s arrangement only confirms it for me 💜🔥

The homicidal Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's visit to Washington has been a disgrace to American democracy. Trump’s thoughts on the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi: “things happen.” What he said about the epidemic of human rights violations in Saudi Arabia: nothing.

Ayo @npr.org did y’all ever apologize for this? 🤔 Talk about aging terribly. Yeesh. Maybe it’s at least time do a little introspection? www.npr.org/2024/08/25/g...

If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.

Earlier this morning, President Trump threatened me and a group of service and veteran Members of Congress with arrest, trial, and death by hanging. Here’s my response:

Is Trump saying Democrats should be hanged or that Democrats should be hung?

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

as somebody who writes and studies broadband access I'm constantly running into "free market" think tank nonprofits like this one who are usually covertly funded by big telecom monopolies to push misleading editorials in local papers about how community-owned broadband is the devil

I think about this every g-ddamn day.

So we know that Trump intervened to make Ghislaine Maxwell's life easier. And that he intervened to make Andrew Tate's life easier. I wonder how many sex traffickers Donald has gone out of his way to help that we don't know about.

Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

Here's Lauren's podcast "The 13th Step" which exposed both the horrific abuses of the man who ran the biggest system of recovery centers in NH, and the ways in which he tried, and failed, to intimidate her. www.13thsteppodcast.org

Montage of 19 clips of Trump insulting, berating, demeaning and attacking female reporters over the past few months. Part 1.

"Quiet, piggy!"

Alex Padilla lays it plain.

Swalwell: Kristi Noem and Tom Homan, you should familiarize yourselves with this room. Get to know that witness chair — you’re going to be parked in it for a long time. Accountability is coming.

This American Life is doing some of the best, most important reporting on the down to the human, down to the family, impacts of Trump admin policies in the U.S. and abroad. Gonna be thinking about this episode for a long time and hope they continue following the Riveras.

Who does this benefit other than the major airline CEOs?

I don’t want to hear about norms, I don’t want to hear about looking forward not back, I don’t want to hear about “bipartisanship” I want the filibuster gone, the court packed, new states, and a top to bottom cleaning of the federal government that ends with a lot of people in jail

Look, I know we're all sick of hearing "if this had happened with any other president ..." but it's absolutely true and absolutely can't be forgotten. For some reason, this nation gives this idiotic spoiled brat a free pass from things that would destroy the administration of any other person.

Your daily reminder from me that this administration operates like someone who abuses their partner. They use hurt and fear to maintain power and control. They cannot tolerate pushback and refuse to take any responsibility for their actions. And they always blame the victim for their violence.

Epstein built an empire of abuse and a whole lot of people just sat in silence and didn’t say anything. The epidemic of violence against women is constructed on a foundation of enabling and turning a blind eye. This post is about the reporters who said nothing when their peer was called ‘Piggy’

Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years. Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024. It’s far past time for Medicare for All. Here’s what you need to know.

Trump is a piece of shit and his supporters like him because they are pieces of shit.
