Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols. The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

The only silver lining is that *vote for me to string up veterans who are now House Democrats* is not a winning issue. But nonetheless, the president calling for the trial and execution of members of Congress is deeply alarming stuff even from Trump. @samsteindc.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

“Your pet frog isn’t dead, son. He’s just resting.”

1961: Writing in 'National Review', William F. Buckley (quoting Garry Wills) dismissed Pope John XXIII's encyclical 'Mater et magistra' with a sarcastic 'Mater sí, magistra no". This was PRE-Vatican II, PRE-changes to liturgy, etc. The agenda behind this kind of stuff was NEVER just theological!

“Housing shortage – Jews to blame," letter sticker, German Reich, 1938 zwangsraeume.berlin/en/context

This was before "he knew about the girls" news. Epstein is an off ramp for Trump voters who don't want to admit they were wrong but hate being immiserated by his policies.

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique

A little bit of history worth knowing. If it’s history, they are trying to wipe it out, to make room for the absurd tales of eternal innocence that bring fascism and bloodshed closer.

Sorry were we supposed to think of connery, moore, brosnan, craig et al as all the same guy? Just make another movie with a new guy bsky.app/profile/will...

DACO > TACO

this is literally never not accurate

Not that he didn’t already know, but now Trump knows for sure he can roll the Dems every time and there’s no need to negotiate for anything

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise. Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families. Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

“The story of this country is the story of patience in tribulation, and hope in the face of fear,” Nancy Pelosi argues. “What we choose to do in this hour of our history will determine the shape of America and the world for decades.”

This is what happens when your daddy's tax fraud scheme makes you a millionaire at age 8, you spend years hanging around with mobsters and then the Supreme Court says that nobody is above the law except you.

Gonna have to explain to my Danish colleagues about some of the nuances of America's free market system that their may not fully understand because they live in a social democracy. bsky.app/profile/atru...

"The Bible will not sit alongside Mein Kampf. The cross will not yield to the swastika. We must ask right now: Jesus or Hitler? We cannot have both." Great piece. Please read and send this to your maga relatives who think they're still following Christianity.

For years, Russell Moore (@drmoore.bsky.social) has raised his voice against darkness and sophistry. He has done so at some personal cost. A highly valuable voice in our country. www.christianitytoday.com/2025/11/nazi...

Jesus Christ himself famously never attended Jewish religious functions

The Free Press' front page is four articles of MANDAMI PANIC, a Dick Cheney nostalgia essay, and one of the richest people in the world writing about why he gave $100 million to Bari Weiss' unaccredited anti-woke college.

oh my god they actually did it lmao

I was taught growing up that decent people don’t cope in public like this but I guess it’s a different era

"Democrats were searching for a leader. They found something better: a coalition."

The irony is that a century ago, the exact same kind of religious bigotry that Cuomo’s embraced down the stretch — we can’t elect someone from that faith or they’ll impose it on all of us! — was aimed squarely at Catholics like Cuomo.

Turning Point USA continues to carry on the sainted work of Charlie Kirk by singling out innocent high school teachers for death threats.

We spoke to dozens of survivors, read thousands of pages of court and police records, identified 200 alleged church abusers across decades. Our investigation reveals a 50-year pattern of sex abuse, silence, complacency & cover-up in the world’s largest Pentecostal denomination. Read it here:

Just when I'm barely persuaded to vote against the socialist on policy ground, Cuomo does this overtly racist shit.

This is exactly the same argument — and, in parts, even the same language — that segregationists advanced to argue that white people had a “right” not to live next to people who were different from them.

Excellent Fintan O'Toole review of the Kamala Harris auto-autopsy in @nybooks.com

So now billionaires can buy an army? Jesus God.

Sister Helen Prejean is 86 and has more energy and passion (and humor) than I ever will. Now her story is a graphic novel by the amazing Catherine Anyango--they will both be at our Lincoln Center campus to discuss the power of the "Dead Man Walking" story and the fight against capital punishment:

The first major controversy of Pope Leo's pontificate erupted when he backed the decision by Cardinal Cupich and the Chicago archdiocese to honor Sen. Dick Durbin for his long dedication to working on behalf of immigrants. But ... Pro-Life, Post-Roe open.substack.com/pub/gorebuil...

“Largely peaceful” sounds like there were a few exceptions. From what I heard, there weren’t. They were entirely peaceful.

Curtis Sliwa is rocking it:

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

The Vatican's child protection commission accused senior Catholic leaders on Thursday of being too slow to help victims of sexual abuse by clergy and implement new safeguarding efforts in an unusually critical internal report on the issue. For @reuters.com

Churches showing an AI Charlie Kirk telling congregants, through an artificial voice, not to let evil win is a new level of instrumentalizing the dead. When Trump goes, I think we’re going to see the same thing. Visions and AI slop will abound. Prophecies and messages from beyond the grave.

But don’t call them “deplorable”!

a real water is wet scenario here

The "anti-christ" is not some long-awaited historical figure. It's anyone who seduces us into rationalizing abandoning love for power under the guise of holiness.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation Depraved. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

this is fucking obscene

At least 6 vehicles racing through a quiet suburban neighborhood; multiple agents, all of them armed and masked. the excessive response plus the violence against this 15 year old girl is outrageous.

Three key points: 1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February 2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty 3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise

Among Republicans, many express concern: 42% say Trump has improperly used his office to punish those who say things he doesn’t like 40% say he has improperly encouraged federal investigations of political opponents 31% say Trump has improperly used the office to enrich himself, his family/friends.

Most Americans say Trump has improperly used his office to: 💠Punish those who say things he does not like (66%) 💠Encourage federal investigations of his political opponents (62%) 💠Enrich himself or his friends and family (61%) new @pewresearch.org findings
