Not sure if this is an unpopular opinion, but... The Maquis was one of thr best things that came from Berman-era Trek. And it was squandered by placing them on Voyager. DS9 was right there, and could have made them a more intregal storyline that ended the way it was written in DS9.

If Democrats want to continue being gullible idiots, then it's time to spoil something for my Senator. Democrats let Republicans fuck up food safety. www.foodsafetynews.com/2025/11/sena...

It's kinda like if you were born intuitively feeling like the A button should be on the right, X should be up, B down, etc. but life hands you an Xbox controller and everyone gets super weird the moment you ask about button remapping.

“The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.”

Because of my stupidity, I may have lost 1 of 2 remaining pictures I had from Yellowstone Park. The other pictures were trashed by my family because they are incapable of talking to me like adults. And there's a possibility this picture was lost because they tossed it too.

I seldom make posts with this urgency, but if you have anything spare I'd kindly request you consider helping my friend Scott. He's been working tirelessly to help both his and his family's situation, and needs support to help alleviate the stress. If you're able, I would be extremely grateful.

Every lobbyist, poliyician, lawyer, judge, and the pedophile in the White House better get ready to have the contaminated food shoved down their throats. Because that's the only way they'll learn. www.foodsafetynews.com/2025/11/sena...

The pedophile in the White House spent the last couple weeks starving kids, and even argued in court he could do that.

I dunno who else needs to hear this but you're allowed to be angry and depressed by everything and nobody is expecting you to have the solution to the world's problems.

Dude the NYT is crawling with pedos lmaoo it really makes so much sense now why they love Trump. They are in the fucking files too!

Walgreens was only just bought by a private equity firm in September of THIS year, and it's *already* going downhill. Say your goodbyes now.

How I became the “legal eagle meme girl”

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice. KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond. His reply was a doozy.

This race could very easily be decided by challenged ballots. Use this link to track your ballot, and remind your friends and family to do the same: info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/...

Unless you are going to deal with the leadership, you aren't doing anything to fix your problems. And all we'll do is watch empty promises.

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

Honestly, this was a scare at first. Thought my Rep had died in office. Luckily, she is alive and has decided to pass on the torch, hopefully to the next generation of progressive.

Durbin: "You promise not to release the guillotine?" Thune: "Release it? Okay." News: "Senator Dick Durban and seven others got their heads cut off by stupidly putting themselves in a guillotine."

New: The Supreme Court DENIES Kim Davis' request to overturn Obergefell, the marriage equality decision. No noted dissents. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

At least some good news.

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Schumer discovered people support action, and he got scared it would mean he would have to work. So he asked his imaginary Trump-voting friends. And they said they want Schumer to fold. So Schumer folded.

Trump just celebrated Schumer's cave by pardoning 75+ co-conspirators including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Sidney Powell, for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

So I still got to look at my health insurance for next year. And just like the last couple years, I won't know what will go on for certain until March.

As many of you know, a handful of Dem Sens have voted on a CR that keeps the government funded until Jan 30, which would end the shutdown. For those watching for anti-trans provisions, there are none in the CR. Senate Vets-MilCon, Leg, Ag minibus bills for FY26 have no riders.

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him And they should, given this is his fault.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

Expel the yes votes from the party and cut off all their access to fundraising, then remove Schumer from leadership. Anything less is mealy-mouthed coward bullshit.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

YOU FUCKING CAVED! YOU GAVE UP WHERE IT FUCKING MATTERED! THERE ISN'T GOING TO BE A FIGHT UNTIL YOU DIPSHIT DEMS ARE REPLACED WITH PEOPLE WHO WANT TO FIGHT!

Morons. Tens of thousands -- if not hundreds -- saw that their health was about to become unaffordable; saw Democrats stand in solidarity with them; and now see Democrats abandon them.

Not that he didn’t already know, but now Trump knows for sure he can roll the Dems every time and there’s no need to negotiate for anything

She thinks we are stupid.

Reporter: What do you say to your colleagues who say this isn't a fight, this is a capitulation? Shaheen: We have a guaranteed vote by a guaranteed date… Reporter: There is no guarantee that this will become law. Shaheen: There was never a guarantee that it would be become law.

None can be primaried in the next cycle, Shaheen & Durbin retiring. Hassan, Masto, Fetterman up for reelection in 2028. Rosen, Kaine, King up for reelection in 2030.

THE FOLLOWING DEMOCRATIC SENATORS VOTE “YES” ON THE CONTINUING RESOLUTION IN EXCHANGE FOR NOTHING: MAGGIE HASSAN (NH) CATHERINE CORTEZ MASTO (NV) JEANNE SHAHEEN (NH) JACKY ROSEN (NV) DICK DURBIN (IL) TIM KAINE (VA) ANGUS KING (ME) JOHN FETTERMAN (PA) ITS OVER

Only by capitilating to Republicans will the Republicans come to the table to negotiate. Also magically in good faith rather than the bad faith that they clearly do.

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

If the Dems will cave on this there is no right of yours that they will not throw away if it means they can go on vacation. I hate them with my whole heart.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

This man looks... Strangely familiar, doesn't he? Maybe it's that Tanuki-like grin. Or the ears. 🎨 @jovithor.bsky.social #winecomms

I love magical transformations so much I did that too haha (I am so sad, I lost the version where her breasts have a bouncing motion at the end, but I was not courageous enough to share it on Twitter back then and I deleted that part .... 😭)

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets. no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.
