This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

This is several days old. But amidst so much else id missed it. That’s a stunning number. No wonder they about-faced. Reminder of the power of consumers in oligarch era, not subject to the same kind of targeting.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

In a normal administration, who would have authority to decide whether or not to make major structural changes to the White House?

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

I saw “one battle after another” last night, set in a dystopian America. Stuff like the below happened a lot in the film. WE NEED TO STAND UP FOR BASIC RIGHTS, and the RULE OF LAW IN THE USA.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Republicans don’t need a single democratic vote to fund their regime. Here’s why. Please share widely.

The president of the United States, a Vietnam draft dodger, declaring war on an American city (with AI slop implying that he will burn it with napalm)

Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.

Brilliant Adams troll

Massive protests have broken out in Israel calling for Neyanyahu to step down, a deal to return the hostages, and to end the Gaza genocide. 300,000 protested in Tel Aviv, 2.5 million gathered around the country. #3E #FreePalestine

On the way to a Broadway theater tonight, I saw this illuminated ad for Manhattan University! @manhattanedu

THIS is what courage looks like.Today, striking farmworkers bravely stood in front of cameras, the community, and the press, risking their jobs, safety, and future. To speak the truth. About the stolen wages. About the years of being unheard. This is a movement. And today was a turning point.

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

On this date in 1776 the statue of King George III was pulled down in New York City. Because America didn't want a king who lived above the law.

"My faith is the most important aspect of my life—far more than anything else—and I don’t think for a second that it was 'God’s plan' for all these children to die in flood waters." A brutal, fact-based calling to account by @charlotteclymer.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/charlott...

Zohran Mamdani, who recently cross-endorsed with Lander, called for the comptroller’s immediate release. “This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice,” said Mamdani.

A good man, with good values and the guts to stand for them.

Our democratic principles are being threatened by the Trump Administration.

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

Bronxites, join us.

Poster for my lecture next Tuesday in the Finger Lakes:

A major American newspaper does its job, and tells its readers what their elected officials are up to.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia is a father, a husband, a SMART Union apprentice — and it’s long past time for him to be reunited with his family in Maryland. He was wrongly deported by Donald Trump and left to rot in an El Salvador prison. Bring him home.

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

Pilot to Hegseth: "You’re going to kill somebody.” For the safety of our troops, Hegseth has got to go.

@brianlehrer.bsky.social Student workers at Clark University in Worcester MA are currently striking for the right to unionize (Teamsters)

When you send innocent people to a foreign gulag, you are not fighting terror. You are practicing it.

Rep. Kelly Morrison: "This is not what people voted for. Trump has done nothing to lower the costs for everyday Americans. All he is doing is destroying things. He's dismantling our social safety net. He's dismantling education ... the American people don't want it."
