It's really time to hold Murdoch accountable for this. Not that any of the Murdochs are squeamish about this. But they like being accepted in polite company and this stench should stick on them.

YOUR STUDENTS ARE NOT YOUR CUSTOMERS. Get the fuck out of education if that's the way you're talking about them.

“You will be haunted,” resumed the Ghost, “by Three Spirits.” Scrooge's countenance fell almost as low as the Ghost's had done.

“Kill all boats no matter where they are going or what they possess” isn’t a strategy, it’s just a killing spree

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

wtf is a FIFA peace prize? that's like being an NFL laureate in physics

There is an intense pro-enforcing laws turn on the left, and it's good. The Third Reconstruction will require a strong hand and an iron will and a heart hardened against the screeching of fascist traitors that they deserve mercy.

"How do I make my boss happy?" is the question that dominates the mind of every little authoritarian, and they instinctively assume it's on everyone else's mind as well.

In 1987 Family Computing magazine asked “computer-using celebrities” what they wanted for Christmas. Julia Child wanted a potion that taught her MS-DOS. Steve Wozniak would like a girlfriend. Robin Williams said he’d “like to be able to jack in directly.” And Todd Rundgren needed a laser printer.

Starbucks knows where we stand. We’ve been clear: more take-home pay, better hours, & resolution of 100s of ULPs. Bring us NEW proposals that address these issues so we can finalize a contract. Until then, we'll keep escalating. See you on the picket line! www.cnbc.com/2025/11/28/s...

Maybe don’t name a thing for a sword that breaks, I dunno

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Yum tamales! This worker is hand weeding organic corn. Organic produce can be labor intensive because no pesticides are used to control weeds.

Workers here are cutting the tough pumpkin vines. Other workers will then collect and sort the pumpkins by size. Pumpkin (like okra and cucumber) has tiny hairs on the vines that can be irritating to the skin, eyes and respiratory system.

The people who do this, who conceived of it, who demand it, are real life monsters.

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

Are you still massively against me breaking into your home and stealing all your stuff so I can sell it or have you moved more towards acceptance?

First Secretary of Defense you could defeat by painting a tunnel on the side of a boulder.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

Terrible day to be literate

“Ale" works in the carrot harvest in CA. She earns $3.05 for every box of carrots she packs. One box has 24 bunches of 7 carrots each. To earn $100 she has to pack 34 boxes or 816 bunches which represents over 5000 carrots picked in a day. #WeFeedYou

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

I don't believe in the Great Man theory of history. Meaningful change comes from the actions of many. I *do* believe in the Great Doofus theory of history, because it only takes one jerkass to ruin a LOT of things. Usually a jerkass who thinks they're a Great Man.

Sixty-five years ago, six-year-old Ruby Bridges bravely integrated her New Orleans school, facing hate with extraordinary courage. Her story reminds us that democracy and justice depend on protecting every child’s right to learn, live, and thrive in safety and equality.

I love the Trump apologists who are like "be careful what you wish for. If the Epstein files come out, some of your people might get caught up in it." Really, so what you're saying is we could take out even more powerful pedophiles? Fuck yeah let's roll.

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

maybe JD Vance has never taken ibuprofen, assuming that pounding in his skull is just the normal consequence of attempting a thought at all

In a better society, all the men in those Epstein emails were taken out to the middle of the ocean and given a fair opportunity to swim home

“My work is not done — despite my best efforts, there are still children alive and well in the state of Texas.”

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Guillotines for every Trumpist

I'm just saying that if you wanted to open a hot dog stand, you could do a lot worse than Temple of the Dog. 🎶When you're getting hungry | You're getting hungryyYEAH!🎶

Today's version of "remember, thou art mortal" should be a billionaire's personal assistant who keeps reminding them that, in theory, sir, a mob of furious workers might just decide to beat you to death with hammers.

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting. If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.
