I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served. F that!

(CNN) For all the made-up bullshit about the nine to twelve "wars that he stopped", Trump is now ready to invade Venezuela with his ships and military based off their country, what some dictators won't do to cause a diversion. www.cnn.com/2025/11/15/p...

"She began to record the agents as they spoke to the landscaper in Spanish. After the agents noticed her phone, they got back in their vehicles and drove away..." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/15/u...

The message from Trump is crystal clear - if you beat the hell of out police, if you threaten to kill FBI officers - I will make sure you get away with it if you are breaking the law to keep me in power. If you don't see it, this is a message about 2028.

This should alarm everyone. On Thursday, Florida, by unanimous vote, became the first state in the country to adopt “The Phoenix Declaration: An American Vision for Education.” It was written by the Heritage Foundation, the same group behind Project 2025. THIS IS INDOCTRINATION

The state of the union is an utter disaster. Anyone who voted for Republicans and still approves of their performance is either super-rich, in denial, or has the cult disease. The rest of us don't deserve this. When is the next No Kings rally? - I'd trample through two feet of snow to get to it.

bush v gore is the hinge upon which basically everything awful from the last quarter century swings on

(CNN) We are up to 21 boats that Trump has attached and sunk...with no information, specific and clear, shared with the public. Other than lies and bullshit made up on the spot. www.cnn.com/2025/11/16/p...

your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

Burns' six-part documentary uses voiceover, reenactors and drone footage to tell the story of America's founding. And it reminds viewers that the quest for a more perfect union is far from over.

Autopen cover up. You can’t believe anything Trump says. Anything! This is hilarious 😂

oh here's that discussion with jane friedman: janefriedman.com/how-do-freel...

1/ I’d like to share what’s happened since Sept. 30, the night of the most dramatic raid of the Trump administration’s Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago. Under the cover of darkness, 37 immigrants were taken from an apartment complex …🧵

ICE kidnapped a US citizen in Charlotte after he provided proof of citizenship. Of course, they made sure to smash his vehicle window for dramatic effect.

“I was 14… I was 16… this was me when I met Epstein… there are thousands of us… time to let the secrets out of the shadows” Powerful ad from survivors ahead of a vote to tell us where each House rep stands on protecting kids vs protecting pedophiles.

Trump & Epstein were named as co-defendants in a lawsuit accusing them of raping 13 year old Katie Johnson. She ended up dropping the lawsuit after receiving death threats for her & her family. This is not new evidence. This cannot be covered up. #PedoPresident

If you are not in academia, you might not know this, but job interviews used to be held at conferences IN HOTEL ROOMS. Women candidates in a hotel room alone with often all-male committees. People sitting on beds! The horror stories I've heard.

The emails were sent in 2018/2019, more than a decade after Epstein was first prosecuted, and during renewed accusations, right up until the day he was arrested again.

Faith without works is dead.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

More children in poverty, lacking education, lacking health care, lacking social safety nets means more children are vulnerable to exploitation. Is child exploitation the ultimate goal of the Republican agenda? www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Bingo. Corporate welfare is the real welfare you should be talking about.

NOT DISCUSSED NEARLY ENOUGH THIS WEEK: Trump’s all over the Epstein files so he’s having Venezuelans killed as a distraction. Because of these crimes against humanity, a 4-star Admiral resigned and the British, the Dutch, and the Colombians are no longer sharing intel with the USA.

"Alice Wong, ‘luminary’ writer and disability rights activist, dies aged 51 Daughter of immigrants advocated for people with disabilities to have full autonomy over their lives" "Ho called her friend a “luminary of the disability justice movement” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

So, as you know, we had a big cheat sheet to the elections on Bolts: nearly 200 key contests that we were tracking, & why. The page is now updated with the results of ALL the races that were on it — from judges to mayors to school boards. You can explore! boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

SNAP residents in Kentucky can now access their November benefits (largely provided by California taxpayers).

Jesse Butler raped & strangled two girls… One ended up in hospital. He managed a plea deal as a “youthful offender”. He was 17. He won’t serve time. How come Jesse avoids jail time because he’s a “kid”… yet the Epstein survivors are being reframed as women? Rape culture

Some MAGA economist tried to get in my face, claiming everything was less expensive under Trump — and I wasn't having any of his bullshit. Here's a clip.

years ago an emmy-winning comedy writer posted this in a DM group and I’ve thought about it literally every day since (anonymized and shared with permission)

ICE has arrested about 600 immigrants in the city of Chicago. You know how many of them have criminal records? Sixteen. They promised to secure the border and remove anybody who was violent — and they lied.

“The American Revolution," the latest documentary series from Ken Burns, begins this coming Sunday on PBS. I can’t think of a better time to learn about the founding of our country. #democracy #US #history #PBS @kenlburns.bsky.social

This is a good idea to draw Trump into discovery - have prominent Democrat elected accuse him of running a child sex trafficking operation. Get him to sue them for defamation. That will make way for the truth to come out.

Fascinating world of ancient #glass ! A small-scale but colourful mosaic glass inlay depicting an Ibis. This inlay, originating from a workshop in Roman-era Egypt, was discovered in Tawern, near Trier, Germany. The ibis was considered a sacred animal of Thoth, the Egyptian deity...🧵1/2 📷 me 🏺

Heat waves consist of 5 or more consecutive days of dangerous heat. Our elected officials must intervene to stop abuses and cruelty being inflicted in ICE facilities.

trump made the prosecutor who gave epstein a pass the secretary of labor!

i mean c’mon. the president’s best friend was the most notorious pedo in the country’s history who ran a massive child trafficking ring. every bit of circumstantial evidence we have says that trump was a participant. if this were a criminal trial we’d have enough evidence to compel a plea deal.

the republican party is engaged in a cover up to keep the american people from learning whether president trump is president pedo

Nine of the 10 countries of origin for deported immigrants are majority/plurality Catholic.

Good statement from the US conference of Catholic Bishops

That's a GOP senator not just defying Trump, but trolling him. If Kennedy is a yes on releasing the Epstein files, they may well have the 2/3rds needed to override a veto. 1

There is no meaningful moral difference between sex trafficking and raping (1) 15-year-olds and (2) 5-year-olds. Both wrong, both deeply morally abhorrent. Hth.

If AirBNB are here illegally, we need to deport them.

It's never the fault of the yt men behind computers creating nonsense valuations on thinga for greed and investment gambling. Never ever.

So, they're blaming immigrants for the deliberate housing crisis caused by crony capitalist private equity now? I did Nazi that coming 🙄

For those in the back and even for those in the UK who also spout this nonsense. MIGRANTS AND IMMIGRANTS ARE NOT TAKING YOUR HOUSING. MIGRANTS AND IMMIGRANTS ARE NOT TAKING YOUR HOUSING. MIGRANTS AND IMMIGRANTS ARE NOT TAKING YOUR HOUSING. MIGRANTS AND IMMIGRANTS ARE NOT TAKING YOUR HOUSING.
