"A true peace must reduce the likelihood that the aggressor will resume or expand its violence; it cannot strengthen his hand while weakening the victim’s." lnk.thebulwark.com/4pzTkrK

For those who asked, three things: 1. This is most likely just asking the currently engaged states to, cumulatively, send 500 more troops. Under the current agreements, that could be done. 2. The ruling from Judge Cobb is stayed by her, so it's not in effect currently. So, more troops could come.

Such classic gaslighting it's an instructive moment. The question is not whether generic is better or worse, it's that a list with more expensive brand names is not the same as a list with cheaper generics. Perverting that truth into an attack on those calling it out is Manipulation 101.

This ICE (Trump's Bully Boys) assault on our friends and neighbors must end! Time Remaining Until Midterm Election Day: 🗳 November 3, 2026 342 days 11 months 8 days 48 weeks 6 days 8,208 hours Vote every Republican out of Office!

All I can see is red. I'm so angry. Many of them signup for college money or to leave low wage jobs or because they can't find work. Then they are used as political pawns, makes me sick the Republicans do such evil things.

National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

These two things are true: 1) Shooting National Guard members is horrific and criminal. 2) So is putting National Guard members in harm’s way to score political points.

Reminds me of banks and other ostensibly private financial institutions some declared "too big to fail" a while back because of the harm their failure would do to the overall economy. Seems an unstable position as far an incentives. Maybe more public, government involvement, oversight advisable?

James Bond supervillains threaten to blow up the world with their big laser unless you pay them a trillion dollars. Real American supervillains embed themselves in the economy and threaten to cause a depression unless you subsidize their sex robots and the weird chatbots they use to avoid humans.

It's fascinating watching people who simply did not understand that most of what they thought of organic engagement was just the result of promotion algorithms, suddenly be confronted with an actual realistic distribution of opinions.

The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us. But I won't back down — and neither should you.

"Skandalakis moves to drop the case against Griftopoulos, Judge Korruptides agrees"

He is recorded, on tape, demanding to overturn the election. That will never be overturned. He is a corrupt criminal bringing rot into our electoral democracy.

MGT has seen her networth jump from $700k to $25 million since joining Congress in 2021. And she served juuust long enough to get a lifetime tax payer-funded pension. She got the joke. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

When trump & his cult have been eradicated from America's politics by their Nuremberg type trials, & sane, relatively honest people take over, everyone employed by ICE needs to be prosecuted too. Every single one. They are all part of a criminal conspiracy, and can be charged as such.

That's assault and battery. Assault with a chemical agent.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important. We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

Totally. Citizens United is probably the most harmful ruling in the history of our country in terms of preserving. Democracy. That’s why I go hard for @aftynbehn.bsky.social who is running on a platform of campaign finance reform and reversing this horrible decision.

Corporate "donations" to political campaigns was outlawed in Brazil in 2015. Therein LIES our biggest obstacle to justice. Corporate donors' aka extremely wealthy "Citizens" United that control the majority of politicians in both parties.

Witkoff is not buying the Russian narrative. He is selling it.

No contract, no coffee. We don’t believe in sitting on the sidelines. Join our Transition co-chair @linamkhan.bsky.social , First Deputy Mayor Dean Fuleihan & @sbworkersunited.org at the picket lines.

It’s getting real for Home Depot. The flash mob is only the warm up, the nationwide boycott hits on November 27th. Chant: “Tax the rich tax, the motherf*cking rich.”

I mean, I am tech positive. I work in tech and lemme tell ya, just a crumb of understanding some of this shit makes you feel like you're in the Twilight Zone with everyone lauding what is basically a significant increase in data processing speed as a revolutionary technology.

Is the Trump admin using ICE to settle family disputes? This is fucked up.

That should do wonders for addressing the healthcare crisis happening in this country.

You know you're screwed when common sense becomes a partisan issue.

Message to ICE: You know you've gone a step too far when you've gotten the grandma's involved. The difference between the gray heads and the young people of today is that many of those older folks were raised on protests. They know how. It's in their blood. They don't mess around.

Masked ICE GOONS have been using facial recognition technology without consent to capture images of young men for identity and citizenship verification. This technology is fueling a surveillance state that targets Black and Brown communities, silences dissent, and free speech.

We’re about to start seeing lots of businesses closing

Reminder as job loss numbers come in today: Going back 100 years, Democratic presidents average nearly 3x the job creation as Republicans. It’s not all causality, but it’s a hell of a correlation.

All these long years and still no justice for the fallen. Justice delayed was justice denied for all those impacted by the Tulsa Race Massacre. Are we going to look back from the misdeeds of the current administration and ask the same questions?

I hope everyone is watching his "The American Revolution" that debuted on PBS last week. The six part series is free to watch through the PBS app until Dec.7th. After that, a PBS Passport is required to watch it.

This is a great time for Democrats to put in their best candidates for all these positions in Southern states.

Right on! Alabama finally has someone ready to fight for the Alabama instead of letting Tuberville, a non-resident drifter, run his mouth from Florida. Doug is stepping in with actual roots, actual plans, and an actual stake in the future of the state. #DougForAlabama

Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October. She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE. “They’re failing all of us,” his mom said. thebarbedwire.com/2025/11/24/d...

John Roberts will go down as the Chief Justice that destroyed the United States.

US can’t even stabilize the US

it seems that they've forgotten they are a coequal branch with actual power to check the president. they can even oust their leader. their power wasn't taken; they ceded it. they can exercise it at any time instead of whining.

historic levels of leopards eating faces

I have a brilliant idea on how to counter Russia and China. We could focus on building up our partners in Asia and the ongoing conventional fucking war in Europe instead of a pointless war in South America. Someone make me a senior fellow. This shit's easy as hell.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

And all this is happening because some womanizing drunk didn't like it when JAG lawyers prosecuted his unit for shooting prisoners in the back...it will take a hundred new laws too specific for even SCOTUS to misinterpret to build the guardrails we didn't know we needed till these scum arrived.

BREAKING: AOC on MTG retiring: "She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based. Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

I play one video game and Trump falls in love with a socialist and MTG resigns. Omg.
