TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Russia just tried to assassinate Zelensky on EU soil and it's barely news.

This is great. Very few people want to go to jail, get disbarred or die for this regime. Make them fight you. They will cave. www.ms.now/news/minneap...

I mean, do we talk enough about how deranged this person is—and how he should be miles away from the levers of power?

There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented. ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams “I am a US citizen,”. Why is ICE harassing women?

They aren’t good at running the government, they’re aren’t good at consolidating an authoritarian regime, they’re just a bunch of posters like you and me pumping out posts so they can laugh about them in their weird little group chats all the way up to the President and especially the Vice President

Oh no, we can't loose the strict adherence to traditional ideas of gender and sexuality that the Looney Tunes cartoons were so famous for.

Here's a better headline for Axios: "How Trump has normalized racism and racist slurs." Why can't some journalists just call a thing what it is? https://loom.ly/hiKWr58

I can’t get over how Barbie succeeded because it offered tangible ways for women and girls to celebrate each other (and dress up and go to the movies together) but studios thought it worked because it’s about toys so now they’re making like Bananagrams the movie

SCOTUS is nothing more than an arm of the GOP. Expand the Court. Impose term limits.

Dan Bongino admitted today that he lied for a living. He explained that he lied, because he was paid to lie. He said we should now believe him, because he's paid to tell the truth. Oy.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Your Messiah, Republicans…

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

excited to award my kids the Burger King Peace Prize this weekend

I think a lot of "learn to code" people thought high salaries for programmers were a permanent feature of the world rather than the result of unusual circumstances around supply and demand in the labor market. Over last 20 years, CS went from a niche college major to the most popular major in the US

The time to demand Medicare for all is NOW. www.levernews.com/weve-reached...

We already know the Trump administration has been lying about ICE “targeting the worst of the worst” — the actual numbers tell the truth. The government’s own data shows only 15 % of those detained had any prior criminal convictions, and just 3 % were violent offenders.

And beyond that, we need activists on the ground in some of the new Texas districts, driving the kind of voter turnout that will turn this around on Texas and Trump. Many of the districts created are designed to be close; they can be flipped blue. The work goes on.

So this makes it official, the taxpayers will pay for all the damage done to the Capitol on Jan 6, 2021, at a minimum 3 million dollars Two pardoned Jan. 6 Capitol riot defendants are entitled to refunds for their restitution payments

I honestly don’t know what’s more concerning. That the president of the United States keeps falling asleep in public or that everyone around him is too scared to wake him up.

This U.S. administration would've lost World War II, if they'd even bothered to fight it. More likely, they would have cut deals with all the dictators to steal everyone's natural resources.

CDC's @drdebhoury.bsky.social calls on Congress to act. "It is a purposeful reshaping of CDC away from evidence-based practice & toward ideology-driven governance...I did not resign to make a symbolic point. I resigned because staying silent would have made me complicit." time.com/7338714/dr-d...

looking forward to either a 6-3 decision that trump as God Emperor of the United States can change the constitution by fiat or a 5-4 decision that 14th amendment means what it says with a dissent from thomas that actually the constitution recognizes donald j. trump as sovereign

some days you just have to laugh at how unbelievably stupid everything is

EXPOSED: Dozens of Epstein victims say Trump’s DoJ revealed their names in docs sent to Congress and made public - many believe on purpose. Yet DoJ told 1000+ staff on 24-hour shifts to flag Trump’s name. His name was redacted. Theirs weren’t. DoJ protected Trump, not them.

there are of course many examples of political constituencies that have in fact killed scores of children (en route to some other evil goal), but I can't offhand think of any historical examples of a political constituency organized for that specific purpose

Every boat strike is an illegal act on our dime & in our name. We are war criminals & 5 eyes will no longer include us in intelligence sharing. Gifted article www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/u... #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

these people aren’t “visionaries” they’re drunken blackjack players with a self-replenishing pile of chips and a bunch of sycophantic dopes saying shit like “splitting 10s is genius sir”

BERMAN: Did you see any evidence of them trying to use a radio in the video you saw? TOM COTTON: Well I saw lots of evidence of them standing on the boat that had been capsized BERMAN: That wasn't my question. Did you see any evidence? COTTON: No, I didn't

Bongino saying the quiet--and cynical--part out loud. In other words: I was making money shoveling conspiracy bullshit without having any facts and conning my audience to make a buck. After I leave the FBI, I will get back to that. What a confession.

yeah see, Larry Ellison is pressuring Trump to intervene in the Netflix Warner Brothers acquisition. And seeding the idea in friendly right wing media that the Netflix acquisition is an antitrust concern, but it's of no worry if instead, the planet's second richest man owns the entirety of media

Instead we have an official policy that climate change is a hoax, immigration is turning NATO partners “non-European”, and elected European governments lack democratic legitimacy in the eyes of Washington for pushing back against their respective far-right movements.

“The risk of ‘infection throughout your early stage of life, and probably throughout most of your childhood, is extremely low,’” one of the panelists said. Reality: before the recommendation (not mandate), 20,000+ babies were infected annually. Most cases lead to liver disease.

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake? TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

European reaction to the new American national strategy document

So much of the money that once went to newspapers now gets siphoned away to fund doomed endeavors like this:

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream. Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads. Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

🚨 '...on top of that an arbiter who tries to make a profit from each side in the process — as Trump has done. This is one of the most shameful episodes in American foreign policy, and the entire Republican Party is complicit in its perpetuation.' 🎁 link www.nytimes.com/2025/12/04/o...

New US nationsl security strategy powerfully advances national interests…of Russia. It puts the US squarely in the camp of the Kremlin-led ethno-nationalist (racist, anti-democratic) movement that includes Hungary, Modi’s India, Netanyahu, etc. it is runs contrary to a century of US foreign policy.

This is not a drill

Trump: 'We're gonna go after the criminals' Who they're ACTUALLY going after: -Mothers -Children -Nurses -Teachers -Students -Hotel workers -Kitchen Staff -Landscapers -Farm Workers -Construction workers -Dreamers -US CITIZENS

History suggests that things don't go well when white nationalists are warning against "civilizational erasure" in Europe
