1/8 This past week showed a major shift. The right is no longer running separate fear cycles. They fused Muslims, migrants, Democrats, judges and blue states into one story about a foreign backed internal insurgency.That fusion is the danger. #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue #DV1 #USDemocracy 11/24/25 AM

Imagine knowing your platform was a playground for predators, fueling teen depression, eating disorders, and suicide and deciding the best course of action was… absolutely nothing. Meta didn’t just “miss” anything.

We saw it with big tobacco, we saw it with the fossil fuels industry. When their own internal research showed the harm from their product, the defunded the research and attacked independent researchers coming to the very same conclusions. #ScienceUnderSiege

Leaving this right here.👇

I see why so many Rs in America like ruZZia. Pedophilia, misogyny, cheating elections (ruZZian tail), and sadism.

11/27 to 12/1 boycott across the states: Amazon, Target, Home Depot

As a historian, I have been torturing myself by watching some of the series that the White House in cooperation with Hillsdale College produced about American Independence (tellingly, they avoid the word "revolution"). There are so many errors that it is hard to know where to begin. But I'll try

My wife is a MSW/LCSW social worker (child and family therapy). The schooling, cost and bureaucracy involved to attain these levels of licensure and accreditation are as insane as the low salaries they earn, while the value they bring to society is incalculable.

Jasmine Crockett, did not hold back when asked what she thought of US President Donald Trump's change of stance on the release of the Epstein files. Footage captured by Ashlee Banks on Monday, November 17,

Not the system. 2 things drive GOP victories: 1. Dem messaging incompetence; lets GOP define Dem brand with no pushback. Dem “kitchen table” policy gets lost in sea of nonsense. 2. GOP relentlessly reinforces its voters tribal ties to its brand, despite disconnect btwn their needs & GOP policy.

A lot of the people lamenting Marjorie Taylor Greene’s departure from Congress—and celebrating her as some kind of principled maverick—are going to end up eating their words when she reemerges in 2028 to help lead a pro-groper, pro-Fuentes “America First” faction of the GOP.

As states and cities across the country reopen, some are seeing a worrying rise in new coronavirus cases. While in most states, new infections remain flat or are decreasing, in 14 states, new cases are growing. 1/46

You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?

A very weird list of the best Twin Cities movie theaters (AMC?!?) was just featured on a local podcast, so I figured I’d give you the ACTUAL definitive list. From me. Because I’m right.

@throwdemawaaay— The right's been moaning about "PC culture" since the 80s, but they're the most PC people EVER. I grew up evangelical, and if I wanted to? I could drive my relatives to shaking fits of rage with just one sentence. They don't allow ANYTHING they disagree with voiced in their presence

I realized it was only a matter of time for other professions once I heard the professional, moral, intellectual & ethical requirements to be POTUS were completely eliminated. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Nursing is no longer a professional degree according to Department of Education. There aren't enough middle fingers. 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

This past month, four different Protestant groups/denominations, most evangelical, have been at the center of in-depth news reports detailing how those denominations’ systems of oversight have failed victims of alleged abuse. In chronological order…

5/5 many people "learned it" was the mythology perpetuated to ensure the Founders were saints, white people were heroes, and very specific choices were not intentionally made. At any rate, recommend. www.smithsonianmag.com/history/ken-...

Surprisingly, it's Claire Danes performing Abigail this time, with Linney doing several other minor roles (Sarah Logan Fisher among them). But at least Paul Giamatti returned as John Adams, which he reprised in Burns' Benjamin Franklin doc. Amanda Gorman as Phyllis Wheatley was a perfect choice!

One happy surprise is that the interior of Notre Dame actually looks better than it did before (they are still working on the exterior). They've washed the stone and it's so light inside compared to how it was (as in most old cathedrals, the stone was stained from centuries of candle smoke)

We all know what really happened….

Nothing should stand in the way of Trump's business empire; he's only interested in money. Don't you dare ask critical questions; things happen. This is the most corrupt administration ever in the history of the United States….

Pigs in a blanket.

Oh bullshit Dan Bongino. You work for & worship the most corrupt public official/the most corrupt president in American history.

The Epstein files are about so much more than the disgusting, criminal dealings of one man. They're about how the rich and powerful are rigging our entire system to give themselves money, cover, and influence. Buying elections. Warping our economy. Subverting justice. Enough.

There Is Already Military Push Back….

This is incredibly accurate😬 A “Maga Years” explainer…

🧵 As I read lots of social media responses to the US bishops' recent statements on immigration, I think lots of Catholics forget: not all rights are equally weighted or implemented. And this isn't something new. This isn't moral relativism. This goes back for centuries if not millennia.

An open criminal case that Trump closed and then fired the lead prosecutor, Mary Comey.

The reason we have laws* against bribery is that companies will absolutely bribe politicians at the very first opportunity if it is good for the bottom line, because they see it as a sound business decision, not a civilizational betrayal. /1

Catherine Lucey, a Bloomberg reporter, asked why tRump did not want to release the remaining Epstein files during a press question and answer session tRump singled out the reporter, pointed in her face and told her: “Quiet, quiet piggy” www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

Chicagoans saying farewell to Bovino:

Folks, if you didn’t grow up in a low-church American evangelical/fundamentalist baptist or Bible church you have no idea how easy it is for factions to split a church, excommunicate each other, and how that informs the coming schism in Republican politics.

#ResistanceEarth Pope Leo called for urgent action to combat climate change, noting that one-third of the Earth’s population is vulnerable because of climate change impacts. “To ignore these people is to deny our shared humanity,” he said. apnews.com/article/pope...

I want to know if the FBI Epstein Files retain their original data from compilation to today. Want to know if anyone inside knows what's been done with and to them since felon47 took over again in 2025. Are there any FBI oath-respecters left who will reveal what s(he) knows about scrubbing ops?
