A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

Wahoo. Everybody has 'access' to vaccines, but good luck actually getting one

They don't have to ban vaccines outright. They can just force people to jump through enough hoops to get vaccines that they eventually stop trying and give up.

Concurrently, anybody who thinks they know what is going to happen because of it is also almost certainly wrong.

First time in history? US Military and Indigenous Nations Slave Patrols, including state sanctioned enslavement of FREE people. Lack of actual law enforcement against the KKK of which many sworn officers were members Forcible removal and internment of Japanese Americans Zoot Suit Riots 1/

The Democratic party needs to let ICE and the other Trump thugs know that continued participation in this abomination will have consequences beginning at termination of employment and extending through criminal prosecution. Enough.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

Well, then. I think we should organize a very loud and showy AIDS Day memorial service in front of the WH for Trump's favorite bully, coward, victim...

fuck everyone involved in this decision. scum.

Time and time again. Trump has no legitimate argument. So he insults people. That’s all he’s got. He doesn’t have the imagination to argue a point. Can’t see the bigger picture. So he becomes a five year old bully and calls someone ugly. IT IS SO FUCKING EMBARRASSING FOR AMERICA.

I love how he keeps bragging about taking multiple cognitive tests. My mom has Alzheimer’s and she also continues to take cognitive tests, and that’s because she failed the first. Each subsequent test is to determine the progression of her disease.

Many demonstrators were arrested; fewer were charged. And of those charged, many cases crumbled. Federal prosecutors declined to pursue some cases; in others, judges or grand juries declined to let them proceed. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/chicago...

Only Trump can stand next to two bewildered birds and still be the most confused creature in the photo. He used the turkey pardon to take shots at Biden all the while ignoring the high cost of grocery bills hitting every family this Thanksgiving. Peak priorities... www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/11/...

That is: truth.

Mark Kelly on Kimmel: Says he found out about Trump calling for his death when he was in SCIF - where you can’t bring your phone - when an aide brought in a note to his senate colleague Elissa Slotkin saying “the President is calling for your execution.”

“Under the (Virginia) Clean Economy Act there was a moratorium on new gas plants and Dominion was to phase out all existing gas and coal plants by 2045. In this first test of this law, the SCC has failed.” - @glenbesa.bsky.social

Now here’s the kind of news you drop going into a long holiday weekend. Maybe no one will notice. 🤡 @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

Carve it into the shape of a turkey and we'll put it in an overfilled deep fryer.

They built a new park near us and it has an elaborate playground. Yesterday, the park was so full that people were parking illegally to take their kids to the playground. Just a reminder how important public facilities are to the community.

Every judge in America follows a code of ethics… except the nine people with lifetime power over our rights. Our government needs public trust. We need a Supreme Court code of ethics.

A Tennessee legislator has ordered all Tennessee public libraries to shut down for two weeks to review their childrens collections and ensure they do not contain any books with LGBTQ characters or themes. The Harper's letter crew is going to be *furious* about this.

BBC censors a lecture removing author’s remarks on Trump that refer to him a the most openly corrupt American president.

All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID. I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail

I have eaten the plums that were on the patio and which you were probably saving for breakfast Forgive me they were delicious so sweet and so cold

As a hillbilly-adjacent person, please keep in mind that Vance/Bowman is neither a hillbilly nor hillbilly adjacent. He’s an opportunist and a moron.

7/8 The loyalty purge inside the GOP is not chaos. It is conditioning. By labeling Massie, Crenshaw and Greene as compromised or foreign controlled, they teach followers that obedience equals patriotism. When dissent is recast as infiltration, emergency rule becomes easier to justify.

"The only thing revealed by this transparency is that social media companies do not give a f*ck about this." Our attention is the product There are tutorials in many languages on how to exploit that for profit, not just to stir the pot AI makes it so easy to exploit now and everyone wins but you

RIP Mother Fletcher 🙏🏽💞🌺🕊️ Viola Ford Fletcher, one of the last survivors of the Tulsa race massacre, dies aged 111. #ViolaFordFletcher www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

How is this not any different than the Gestapo? The United States of Amnesia needs to a reminder that The Secret State of Police and ICE are not DIFFERENT. #brothersfromanothermother apple.news/ACJHFK_2FRXO...

Documents show the U.S. Military plans to cut support to the Boy Scouts. And, a judge dismissed the indictments against former FBI Director James Comey and N.Y. Attorney General Letitia James. n.pr/43MiquX

The law school’s Nuremberg Trials Project has finalized the first complete, keyword searchable online collection of more than 750,000 pages of Nazi war tribunal documents hls.harvard.edu/today/harvar...

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him. Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

NEW: The fight for voting rights didn’t end on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. It’s happening today in places like Newbern, Alabama, where white officials secretly blocked a Black mayor-elect in 2020. What the Supreme Court does next could change everything. ✍️ @jimsaksa.com

worth noting that the digital safety training Emily mentions was part of the People’s Activist series, which I genuinely believe is one of the most important and useful community/civic society programs we’ve had here in ages. so grateful to those organizers.

This isn't how business is done in the US. This is not normal.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals. The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry. Where is the MAHA outcry?

If you dare to displease the despot, you will be declared an enemy of the state and every lever of it will be deployed against you.

Extremely bad news for everyone who rides a Rad Power Bike 😢

Sad and ridiculous and childish. These aren’t *men*. They’re middle aged children with too much fucking money and permission to do whatever they want, when they want. Pretty gross. 🤬

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone. Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work. Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

So, one reason to slow-walk EVERYTHING in the Trump era is that you need to give the procedural and paperwork fuck-ups time to emerge. You don’t grant UC. You don’t yield back post-cloture time. You don’t concede that paperwork is properly filed, or that signatures or appointments are validly made.

If he stole your authority, impeach him and keep your job

Voters need to be asking candidates about introducing bills to prevent this. Either give is universal healthcare or end their healthcare when they leave their job like most of America. Candidates/representatives have to be willing to vote for this, though.

It'll only help elevate Mark Kelly. They need a new scandal after their bullshit case against Comey and Letitia James just fell apart. apnews.com/article/pent...

Trump essentially said loyalty to the Constitution is punishable by death. Those are dangerous words coming from the President of the United States, but I’m not going to be intimidated.

I've said since Trump picked on Mahmoud Khalil that he was picking his political martyrs poorly. But this one...

The only thing Trump has is his cosplay military school uniform. And Hegseth? He didn’t rank high enough to be in the room with Kelly.

"If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won’t work," Kelly has responded. "I’ve given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution."

If DOGE doesn't exist anymore then those that were involved in the theft of all our private info can be arrested and prosecuted for their crimes.
