Kinda amazing that Israel has ethnically cleansed over half of Gaza and no one in our media mentions that Israel has ethnically cleansed over half of Gaza substack.com/@realleecamp...

NEWS: President Trump has issued a *second* pardon for Jan. 6 defendant Dan Wilson. Wilson, a militia member, remained in prison on a firearms conviction unrelated to the Capitol attack. But Trump's new pardon explicitly covers the gun charges. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

The throughline from the Epstein story to Trump's gradual decline as a political figure is one of class. It has a hook in the public's imagination not only because it's salacious but because it's about wealthy men abusing teenage runaways and that rhymes with people's own resentment towards the 1%

With all the fine tuning of the distinction between sex with 14 year olds and 8 year olds I'm starting to think that Ephebophilia might be part of the 2028 GOP platform if Trump let's them have a platform again. Vance - Blackburn 2028, Ephebophilia, NOT THAT BAD

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness. I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

“You can’t define a woman?” Party becomes “What is a child?” Party

You were incredible, Alice Wong, and it was a blessing to have collaborated with you on projects, to have read your words and to have heard your voice, as full of life and passion and joy and rage as it was. You made a difference—so much of a difference. Rest always in peace, and always in power.

Trump's Affordable Economy? On the Eve of Destruction, 1/19/2025, I baselined things I commonly buy at my local Kroger in SE Michigan. I check prices monthly. Here's November's tally for the worst increases. There are many smaller ones. Watch for shrinkflation! We're paying more for less every day.

Panic at the ballroom

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..." Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night: www.propublica.org/article/chic...

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

One of them was Miss Utah She recounts having to use her teeth to force Trump’s tongue out of her mouth

THEN YOU PURCHASE THEM AND DO NOT USE THE PROPERTY OF OTHERS

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

What a difference a few years makes.

My President Vulva Neck hahahahahahahhhahahahahahahahaahah

Please tell me he kept the dress.

Warnings rise for U.S. as a severe flu strain causes outbreaks. A flu strain that emerged over the summer is causing unprecedented outbreaks in Japan, as well as in Canada and the U.K. The CDC hasn't provided insights on flu in the U.S. in nearly 2 months. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Broadview's mayor keeps calling the protesters "out of towners." Every time we are there, we talk to people from the town on the front lines. (Also this is a tiny town y'all, it's reasonable for someone in like...Brookfield or Melrose Park to feel like this is their community as well!)

This is big: elected Republicans in a deep-red state saying NO to Trump even after his personal plea. The balance is shifting - and we have to keep up the pressure everywhere.

So, a jail, we’re sending people to jail without a trial. K.

14 November 1924 | Polish Jewish girl, Hina Nadolna, was born in Warsaw. She emigrated to France. She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Drancy on 24 July 1942. She did not survive. --- A short video about the first two gas chambers created near Auschwitz II-Birkenau: https://youtu.be/Rr6lF75fDmU

In his futile attempt to justify Musk's $1 trillion pay package, this Musk fluffer overlooks: -Musk's tax rate on his $450BN is only 2.5% so far. -Tesla & SpaceX received $3.7BN of US subsidies & loans. -SpaceX has $22BN in US govt contracts. -Tesla has received $22BN in US ZEV/GHG/IRA credits.

In fairness, McWhorter did not write the title and does cite Thornton, whose book came out in 1992. I have it, by chance in arms reach, the copy I bought in 1994 in college. In unfairness, "The history of Black involvement in the slave trade has often been treated as off limits" is passive voice.

@ecmclaughlin.bsky.social is reading all the emails so you don’t have to.

It's ONLY been 65 years since six year old Ruby Bridges walked through the halls of William Frantz Elementary as the first Black child to attend an all white school. Met with mobs and hate, her bravery and courage helped change the course of history for this nation. (1/3)

This is the part about Platner that pisses me off the most. Even if I bought all of his bullshit about the posts, the tattoo, etc. and believed that he really is a Changed Man yadda yadda yadda… …ok, fine: Run for city council or county commissioner or something first, not for the U.S. Senate.

After Ghislaine Maxwell lied to Todd Blanche, someone waived her sex offender status and moved her to Club Fed with "OUT" custody - allowing her to work outside the prison walls. 3 months ago, I got her Bureau of Prisons points screen as proof. We still don't know who approved all this.

Jeff Bezos paid $50 million for a wedding. He just got a $16 billion tax break. He just laid off 60,000 people. And you're furious about a kid getting a free school lunch?

Change the legal term from sex trafficking to rape trafficking, victims of trafficking cannot consent to sex while being trafficked. It is rape.

13 November 1923 | A Dutch Jewish woman, Charlotte Content, was born in Amsterdam. In September 1942 she was deported to #Auschwitz. She did not survive. --- Learn about the fate of Jews deported from the German-occupied Netherlands to Auschwitz: http://lekcja.auschwitz.org/32_en/

I don't think it gets mentioned enough that Bovino is a member of the civil service. He is not a political appointee. Yet he still engages in constant open partisanship while in uniform and with a DHS flag behind him.

No, that's politics. Science is about evidence, testing, and validation.

Old enough to remember when raping children was a dealbreaker in politics.

Things are going great...

The problem we have is that they are being authentic here.

The Trump Admin is attempting to dismantle Bureau of Land Management’s Public Lands Rule that conserves 245 million acres of federal public land nationwide.   We won’t stand for this.   Public lands belong to all of us. oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

Maligning basic, safe OTC medications that most people have to resort to, like acetaminophen and ibuprofen, is part of a larger scam to blame people for their health problems (or their children's health needs or problems), so that the administration can claim people don't deserve care or support.

While the government reopened without healthcare protections that millions desperately need, extremists were busy with something else: trying to gut gun industry oversight and plotting to advance a national concealed carry mandate through the House that would put every community in America at risk.

We already know conclusively that abusing adult women doesn’t violate our norms. We are well on our way to demonstrating just as conclusively that sexually abusing girls doesn’t violate our norms, either.

$46B American company that employs about 80,000 people has their debt downgraded due to TARIFFS. So much winning. sgbonline.com/nikes-debt-r...

The Trump administration said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over a building in Chicago. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up those claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arrested in the raid are telling their stories.

WATCH: @raskin.house.gov explains the deal that would allow eight GOP senators lucrative lawsuits over phone record subpoenas: "It's certainly the most corrupt provision authorizing financial self-dealing and plunder of the public passed by Congress in this century."

Coalitions are the answer. Especially ones with badasses.

The America First guy has brought in 566 foreign workers during his 5 years in office to work at his companies instead of hiring Americans. And counting.

Wisconsin Republicans are introducing a bill that mandates women use ‘catch kits’ when they have a miscarriage or abortion at home—forcing them to bag up their pregnancy tissue and bring it to the doctor as medical waste. jessica.substack.com/p/wisconsin-...

13 December 1879 | A Jewish man, Samuel Jacob Pintzow, was born in Seda (today Lithuania). In 1900 he moved to Norway. On 25 February 1943 he was deported to #Auschwitz. On 3 March 1943 he was murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.
