There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.

Thomas Massie says the FBI is sitting on information that implicates 20 other men in Epstein's child sex trafficking operation They include a rockstar, six billionaires (including one from Canada), a high-profile government official, a very prominent banker, and a magician

They made it to the great valley!

Child care workers, a substantial portion of whom are immigrants, are setting up a network of resistance & detailed protection plans with the families in their care in case parents or the workers themselves are detained by ICE, leaving the children behind, reports @19thnews.org.

Periodic reminder that the original head of Hillsdale College divorced his first wife to marry his mistress, an employee. While married to wife #2 he was alleged to have had an affair with his own son’s wife who committed suicide on campus. They’d prefer you not know all that though.

Chaos and lies in US diplomacy & media: Marco Rubio now denies the US had any input into the savage 28-point ultimatum to Ukraine - says it's from Russia. But Axios reporters Barak Ravid and David Lawler, who got the leak, claimed it was written by the US, by Steve Witkoff and... Marco Rubio! 1/

"She wrote that she worries millions of women might not get the care they deserve after she was given a dose of misoprostol to stop her postpartum hemorrhage. Because the drug is part of medication abortion, it is currently under review at the (FDA), she wrote, due to her cousin's urging." #Pinks

ICYMI: I spoke with CBS Sunday Morning about my book, There Is No Place for Us, alongside the families whose desperate efforts to secure housing the book follows—people working nonstop and still being pushed into homelessness.

A video from inside a Border Patrol vehicle shows agents chasing a US citizen for filming them. The citizen refused to get out when they illegally ordered him to stop. The agents say: "This is great." "This is fun." "He's going to get shot."

I took an ASL class at the local community college because it was the only language course offered at night. I fell in love with it & completed an ASL interpreting course Every job since college has been because I sign. I eventually went back to school for my credential & Masters degree in Deaf Ed

this boycott picket is part of the National We Ain't Buying It call for boycotts from November 27 through Cyber Monday - weaintbuyingit.com - The target orgs are Target, Amazon and Home Depot.

Local Boycott Target DC Coalition has been picketing the Target store in Columbia Heights for over six months straight urging consumers to spend their dollars elsewhere outside of Target. They are inviting folks in the area to join them on 11/29.

Like pretty much EVERYONE kept saying who isn't tied to MAGA & the regime.

Not their first time at this rodeo either. From @stuffcclikes.bsky.social on Instagram.

He turned that location feature off but folk saw so much. Massively large pro Trump accounts are from all over globe. These are the accounts folk be arguing with over there. Also “Strand Junker” “Andrea Strand” has an account here that a lot of folk follow. It’s in Germany, & a pos

This guy is really in Canada but claims he voted for Kamala 🤔 Locations of accounts was turned on yesterday on Twitter for an hour and some accounts were outed for not being in the US. It's not a problem to be outside, but don't hide it.

This is a reminder that being a "stay at home mom" was always only for a particular class & race historically. Poor CHILDREN & women worked, often doing horrendous & dangerous labor for little wages. Black women, Minority women, poor women, always have worked.

Fascism has a face ⬇️ "AG Catherine Hanaway (R) publicly announced she has referred the state’s grassroots referendum campaign to Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE), claiming w/o evidence that canvassers are 'employing illegal aliens' to collect signatures to overturn the mid-decade redraw"

Normally I'd say Dems shouldn't invest much in MTG's seat, but I think that now is the time to find somebody who's a viable candidate and not a grifter, and force Republicans to campaign and spend money, if only because who knows what might happen by January, much less by when the election happens.

So Bezos is in them too then?

"A total of 303 schoolchildren and 12 teachers were abducted by gunmen during an attack on St. Mary's School, a Catholic institution in north-central Nigeria's Niger state, the Christian Assoc. of Nigeria said Saturday, updating an earlier tally of 215 children." #Pinks www.npr.org/2025/11/22/n...

I had to use my card in the post office yesterday to buy one stamp, $0.78. I use stamps so rarely, it wasn't even worth buying a book of them.

The economy in 2025...

Guess who else is in the files.

Quite the coincidence that the billionaire owner of the Washington Post isn’t in this photo collage

"Look, the Fed can do a lot of things, but what it can't do is lower the price of imports. It can't make it so there are more workers for California farmers to help pick the crops." These are self-inflicted supply shocks, and the Fed can't magically undo them. (The White House can.)

Fixed it for you. Idiots! If the exclusion is based on appearance then it will certainly impact cis folks as well as trans folks.

Marimar Martinez is a US citizen who was shot by ICE five times in Chicago. She was then arrested, labelled a “domestic terrorist” and slandered on social media. All charges against her have been dropped. In this interview she shows on of the seven holes the ICE agent put in her body.

And now a word from AOC.

"In FBS, to take radical responsibility means a freebirthing mother assumes complete responsibility for all the outcomes of her birth, including her own death or that of her child. No one is coming to save her, nor does she want them to. She is fully autonomous or sovereign" So, it's her "fault" 🤬

From a good thread addressing academics

Academics, you will not exonerate yourself with the documents you turn over. If you receive one of these letters, internalize that immediately. This is the House UnAmerican Activities Committee redux. You have to be proactive in communicating publicly. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/proc...

In honor of Larry Summers, I asked the female members of my college class (1987) to say if they had any experiences with sexual harassment by teachers/professors, back when this was tolerated as, I dunno, the cost of attending college, and OH MY GOD.

Yup. In my junior yr, I got a 96 on a Hegel paper. It was ‘85, nobody got 90s. I thought I was a Hegel GENIUS. lol. No, he just wanted to grab me and pull me onto his lap when I went to office hours. It’s nearly of us. Also, 👇 bsky.app/profile/wtfi...

TIPS FROM A SENATE STAFFER effective communication with representatives.

We need the legal Dems to already be drafting legislation curtailing ICE that’s ready as soon as they retake Congress. They need to already have a plan for withholding funding to these agencies. The most effective pushback has been that the Dem AGs were ready Jan 20, 2025. Dems need to be ready

“Plead the Fifth” regarding what?? Maxwell has exhausted her appellate process. SCOTUS has rejected her. Regardless, she lied with Todd Blanche so her credibility is dogshit unless you get someone like former AUSA Maurene Comey in there to question her. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Some special ed teachers' brains are really busted from having stewed in a system of compliance and (white lady) saviorism for so long. Just saw one woman talking about how she was going to make her own (disabled) child earn lunch. Like, no ma'am you are not doing a "good job"; go feed your child.

We’re finding out what that apartment in tr*mp Tower was in exchange for - Fast Track Visas for World Cup fans. They’re trying to avoid the disaster of empty stadiums. They’re going to turn the WC into being about the orange fella. Stay Home! #WC2026 #WorldCup2026 www.wired.com/story/the-us...

"U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio skipped a G20 foreign ministers meeting in February, calling the agenda all about diversity, equity & inclusion and climate change Rubio said he would not waste American taxpayers' money on that" Pathetic wee man He'd rather waste Am $ on airplanes for Kristi

"Ukraine is the only country that is fighting this war, and we're still discussing — should we include them [in NATO] or not?" Kasparov says. "If, god forbid, Ukraine is forced to accept this deal, Putin will realize his dream [of restoring Russian empire.] Then, guys, you're next."
