"For most Americans, this tragedy will be a headline that soon fades. But for those in her unit, it will divide their service, and likely their lives, into 'before' and 'after.'" 👇

Fitting that Chief Justice Roberts wrote the Dred Scott of our generation: Trump vs United States.

19 year old freshman just wants to go home for Thanksgiving to see her family, she gets deported to Honduras. Former President of Honduras who’s serving 45 years in prison for drug trafficking? He gets a full presidential pardon. Both are Honduran. Only one is a criminal.

@profanity.accountant count my indiscretions

“Critics have likened Jack the Ripper’s approach to the mass murder of women, while others have chalked it up to the cost of women existing at night in Whitechapel.” Media in the United States is completely broken. A crime is a crime. A criminal is a criminal. Media cowardice is media cowardice.

Posts about urban biking in Dutch cities are routinely replied to with comments like “well, they have the big advantage of being relatively flat.” The Dutch also have the big advantage of not constantly making excuses about why they can’t make clearly smarter city-making decisions. #Leadership

The caveat here has to be “big, if he follows through.”

Our new “warrior” mode is off track. Seems like the drunks and felons are running amok.

I seriously doubt our current Democratic leadership will have the spines to do this. Things are going to have to change. There are going to be lots of advisers and financiers telling them to move on - but if we do that, the United States is finished.

This is Bear. He is in charge of supervising Thanksgiving dinner preparation. Appointed himself to the role, but takes it very seriously. 14/10 (TT: emileebellant)

Will the Trump admin own it? Narrator: No. They will not.

The arrogance of ICE agents. The sheer petyiness. The raw sense of risk in pushing back. my friend Carlos Sanchez speaks for me, and for a lot of us. elpasomatters.org/2025/11/20/o...

Trump is calling for the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military not to follow any illegal orders to be arrested, and he’s reposting replies saying they should be hanged and calling them terrorists.

Every story like this needs the tagline THEY DID THIS. All the stories of destabilization, damage, sabotage, punishment, impoverishment, corruption, failure that can and should be laid at the feet of the Trump Administration.

It is pissed off because Democratic Veterans have released a video telling active Military that they not only don't have to follow illegal orders, they definitely should not follow them because they will be held accountable. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

From Kottke: Edward O. Wilson in 2009: “The real problem of humanity is the following: we have paleolithic emotions; medieval institutions; and god-like technology. And it is terrifically dangerous, and it is now approaching a point of crisis overall.”

Remember this? Fox News tried going after Denmark's social safety net. This Danish politician's legendary fact check shows us all how it’s done. Via @nowthisimpact.bsky.social x.com/nowthisnews/...

Good read!

Everything was much better under Biden. He may have been old, bu he knew what he was doing. Now, we have an old guy who acts all confident, but doesn't actually have a clue...

Grifters gonna grift. But hey, how about stopping him from criming?

Dumbing down Americans has always been on the Republican agenda. A dumbfuck like Trump was the catalyst an already corrupt political party needed to normalize it. Both Donald AND Melania have reduced America to a goddamn trinket with their classless grifts.

This is one of the reasons truth in history is so very important - to make a better more informed future. Americans need to take this same attitude.

Waiting on my $2,000 tariff check while still waiting on my $5,000 Doge check.

15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner. Even worse if we don’t heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

To think JDV is a step away from being our president if old man Trump kicks the bucket or goes further into La-La land is terribly scary. 🫣

Does this look like a youthful man in the prime? Where is the MSM press on reporting this doddering old fool being in charge of the USA govt? He looks hella older than old man Biden who was flayed in the press for being too old to operate (and fairly well).

Fountain Pen Day weakness and GAS struck me today. Russ’s Pen is sending this my way! 🥳

Fantastic story about professionalism, persistence, and ingenuity. kottke.org/25/11/004776...

On the positive side we picked the most asshole-ish of assholes. So we’re work with quality material in this experiment.

Holy shit! That motherfucker TORE DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE!
