“trump is ecstatic to meet the muslim socialist immigrant mayor of new york while MAGA’s strongest soldier from georgia-14 resigns in disgust” is a fucking coalition-breaking disaster for the hard right

With ICE and border patrol goons spreading out across the country, I put together a resource guide for buying, printing, and distributing whistles, based on my own experience. Now is the time to whistle up, hope this helps. dansinker.com/posts/202…

If you are wondering why US Marines placed these signs on Mexican beaches, which the Mexican Army are now removing. It's simple and the same reason he blows up Venezuelans. To show this fascist can do whatever he likes.

BREAKING: Sen. Elissa Slotkin says police responded to her home tonight in response to a bomb threat. Slotkin wasn't at home at the time. This is two days after Trump said Slotkin and other Democrats committed "seditious conspiracy, punishable by death."

Rep. Jasmine Crockett has released receipts that reveal that ProPublica has reported that Kristi Noem secretly diverted hundreds of millions of dollars in Department of Homeland Security funds to a consulting firm affiliated with her own campaign.

Trump’s peace plan for Ukraine envisages a DMZ like the one that divides the Korean peninsula, Simon Shuster and Jonathan Lemire report. “It’s like the world is shattering around us,” one diplomat told them after hearing the details.

i know everyone's trying to figure out the REAL reason trump loves zohran for the 5 seconds that he's going to love him, but the truest answer is that he loves winners and zohran is the 2002 tom brady of the political world right now

I've reskeeted stories on this like a thousand times but I'm gonna keep doing it over and over because the SHEER JOY of this, the agency and food soviergenty and dignity this returns to indigenous populations we've stripped of so much... It's incredible and should be celebrated and replicated.

Fun fact: this ain't even the H5N1 bird flu that's been terrorizing North America's birds, cattle, and many other mammals for the past three years. This is H5N5. Not sure why CNN didn't think it was relevant to point that out.

Wear a mask, ideally a respirator like an N95. RFK Jr has gutted the CDC. There is no plan to prevent the next pandemic or protect people when it inevitably hits. Wearing a mask is an act of resistance and community care.

My favorite piece of content today.

As a retiring but still sitting member of the House, MTG has the opportunity to read into the public record documents that otherwise could not be released... and would be protected by the constitution's speech or debate clause from prosecution.

They line up perfectly.

I would not, could not, in my docs Please get out of Firefox I would not, could not, on the phone Please just leave my calls alone I will not, will not, even free LLMs, just leave me be!

The federal government is demanding that Penn hand over the names ***and contact information*** of most Jewish faculty and staff. The demands include anyone who showed up at some sessions about antisemitism and anyone who received a campus survey that Penn likely was trying to send widely to Jews.

Also I wonder how much time and money they wasted raiding ppls houses for Aerogardens.

This is a great idea in so many ways. Ppl can't always plan too far ahead. Parks are often in isolated areas w/o services. (The right kind of) vendors in the parking lot or visitor center can add energy/excitement to a visit & revenue to cash-strapped park coffers w/o environmental harm.

A study from Oregon State University and the U.S. Forest Service found the four-day extreme heat event scorched more than 1,000 square miles of tree canopy.

"Oh Gabe, we shouldn't blow our advantage" People make it seem like this guy is not actually kidnapping and murdering people and is not a child rapist. This isn't a messaging play!

It is political malpractice to not force an impeachment vote when the House gets back on December 1st. Like cartoonishly so. You now have two GOP members that openly hate Trump's guts and another two who already voted for impeachment last time. Congrats. You have a majority.

I've been seeing this sentiment a lot, and if you read the statement carefully, that's not what it says. The statement stresses the vast differences in their policies, and the only kind of "unity" it acknowledges between him and Trump is that they both appeal to ppl who've been left behind. 1/

Trump’s Oval Office Surrender to Zohran Mamdani open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Trump is such a groupie. He sees Zohran is the hot thing, so of course he wants to be next to him.

I mean presumably she's ramping up for a senate or governor run but that... doesn't seem like the kind of race she can actually win.

I just want to remind everyone, again, that before you start talking about smug shitlibs like Gavin Newsom as inevitable “because no one else will stand up to Trump”: nobody had heard of Zohran Mamdani a year ago, and heretofore, nobody has humiliated DJT as effortlessly. life comes at you fast

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is generously praised by Trump in the Oval Office on the same day Majorie Taylor Greene announces a bizarre resignation from Congress. One of the weirdest days of this era.

I'm old enough to remember when they'd throw the book at people downloading songs on Napster. abcnews.go.com/Business/sto...

Health experts are alarmed as Republicans degrade the country’s pivotal HIV programs — and break promises made during Trump’s first term.

Teddy Ruxpin went DARK 🥺

Donald Trump’s crypto legislation promises to make stablecoins the basis of the next financial catastrophe, @davidfrum.bsky.social argues.

Every day he plumbs new depths of Can You Believe This Loser Shit. You think you’ve reached the bottom of the Marianas Trench of Can You Believe This Loser Shit but then there’s a bang and a lurch and your little internet bathyscaphe plunges into a new fissure of Can You Believe This Loser Shit.

Oh look more grift www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/u...

People talk about drugs like the natural state of humans is immortality. “That only helps as long as you take it!” Well, Bob, taking it for 50 years is actually easily accomplished after which point I won’t need it any more

If you're wondering why a large chunk of ostensibly left-of-center pundits are waging war on environmental protections in the form of an "abundance agenda," it's because Silicon Valley has quietly developed a culture of rampant pollution.

Humans can make life lovely & joyous for one another; we can, at the very least, alleviate a lot of needless suffering at little cost, if everyone just contributed a little. There have always been humans who refused this bargain. Some early societies used to ostracize them. We should try that again.

"an email from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on Thursday canceled 'all local Tompkins County scheduled naturalization ceremonies' and announced that none would be held 'until further notice.'...no reasoning had been given in the letter." ithacavoice.org/2025/11/feds...

as somebody who writes and studies broadband access I'm constantly running into "free market" think tank nonprofits like this one who are usually covertly funded by big telecom monopolies to push misleading editorials in local papers about how community-owned broadband is the devil

"Israeli forces used a munition widely banned for its impact on civilians amid their war in Lebanon." Cluster "munitions scatter dozens or hundreds of 'bomblets' across an area spanning several football fields." "[T]he weapons are imprecise by definition." #Israel #Lebanon #Military #Weapons

Is there anyone here who knows how to shop for, I dunno, open heart surgery? Anyone?

Honestly the fact that you can't price-compare in monopolistic systems where not even the doctors know what things cost isn't even the dumbest thing here. The dumbest thing is thinking $2K or $5K or even $10K per person would be useful at all for any surgery, hospital stay, or chemo treatment.

The idea of shopping for health care sounds good but NO ONE SHOPS FOR HEALTH CARE. We do what the doctors says, because WE ARE NOT DOCTORS. If they gave everyone money to shop, the cost would not go down because NO ONE SHOPS.

This pig’s bacon was delicious. But she’s alive and well

Important point. We are vulnerable to monopoly forces in health care, same as we are with other services, media, for instance.

This is some BIG YIKES, folks. "The Border Patrol has for years hidden details of its license plate reader program... Readers are often disguised along highways in traffic safety equipment like drums and barrels."

He’s comparing healthcare to home insurance. Saying the “healthy” should be rewarded. It’s eugenics. Disability can happen to anyone. You know how a hurricane can destroy your home no matter how many “safeguards” you had? That’s chronic illness. It’s the hurricane. $2k won’t cut it.

I know there is no price for insulting our intelligence but there really should be. Renewing Obamacare subsidies is in no way an expansion of Obamacare.

When the top JAG at Southern Command told the Pentagon that their plans to blow up fishing boats based on suspicions that they might have drugs in the cargo hold was certainly illegal, Hegseth simply ignored him, while others told him his career was over. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Just a reminder that one of the January 6ers Trump pardoned was arrested last month for threatening to murder Jeffries. Another was sentenced to life this year for plotting to murder the officials who prosecuted him.
