This picture says everything about the state of our nation right now, peaceful clergy being arrested and forced face-down on the pavement.

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Seconded.

The air quality in 1975 would take your breath away. Literally. Not to mention thst high quality leaded petrol.

Look, I know I'm salty today, but the CEO quoted in this Disney AI deal article is a schmucky ass. AI is built through IP theft. And I'm old enough to remember when Disney sued a daycare for a Mickey Mouse mural. The dissonance from Disney in this article is outrageous. www.npr.org/2025/11/13/n...

19 years ago. Let's hope the new James Bond is half this good. 60+ years and counting.

The president of the most powerful nation on Earth is so terrified of the tales that an imprisoned sex trafficker can tell that he plies her with a comfort puppy and custom meals and is holding out the prospect of a pardon. 77 million people voted for this.

i wish i could have been in the room when they were brainstorming how to solve the housing crisis and someone raised their hand and said "what about 50 year mortgages?"

Eunice Newton Foote discovered the Greenhouse Effect.Her first paper was in the "Annual Scientific Discovery", with the paper, "Circumstances Affecting the Heat of the Sun's rays".She was the first person to show that carbon dioxide is a heat-trapping gas in 1856. rinconeducativo.org/en/recursos-...

Traveller makes interesting characters by default. You don't have to pretend you're a novelist, or write an elaborate backstory, or devise a clever concept, or deeply immersed in the character's head. Character and relationships and history just fall out of the rules. It is magical.

Utter horseshit.

This is a statement I received from a Epstein survivor who is a Jane Doe. Share it widely.

I'm not a professional commentator. No one tells me what to say and my opinions aren't for sale. I'm a lawyer who fights for democracy who built Democracy Docket from scratch because we need independent pro-democracy media. For $10 a month you can help it do its vital work. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

So much winning.

Bondi's DOJ is suing California because of redistricting. Bondi LIED about the reason & says it about race. NO, it's because you are trying to cheat by having red states redistricting, so you can continue destroy democracy. apnews.com/article/cali...

One of the great bits of science fiction ever performed on-screen. The definitive Sarah Jane Smith episode arc. Elizabeth Sladen and Tom Baker are, of course, absolutely wonderful.

Gosh, why and how could that be? Such an enigma!

Can't happen soon enough.

Awful: Trump's boat bombings are now being justified by a new legal memo that relies on WH's own determinations as evidence. Memo also says people can't be prosecuted for the killings. But that reveals WH knows there's legal vulnerability here, Ds tell me. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2032...

Today is a good day to subscribe to the Onion. You get a real physical newspaper and everything. It's rad.

My friend @drannieandrews.com will be Lindsey Graham's opponent. She is a pediatric surgeon who has performed spinal surgeries on children, running against a grownup with no spine. Dr. Andrews is poised to perform a full Lindsey-ectomy on the United States Senate.

Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

Reposting this, because Nixon's bunch didn't get half the kicking around that they deserved. And if Tricky Dick had gone to jail, some of this crap we're going thru now could have been avoided.

Psycho behavior from a federal agency. Basically terrorism. And not a single criminal charge filed. Utter bullshit.

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract. Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

This is a better answer than I gave on The Source to @kaitlancollins.bsky.social last night.

the thing that strikes me about this — again, besides it being false — is the venom and disrespect for the people who come here to work and build better lives. they aren’t “servants.”

Today, the BBC bent the knee. Yesterday, it came out that a NYT reporter had with emails from Jeffrey Epstein in 2015 that were highly damaging to Trump and were never disclosed to the public. This is on top of WaPo, ABC, CBS all capitulating. Support pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

This #GildedAge is playing out as scheduled. 🥇 @forbes.com @zacheverson.com www.forbes.com/sites/maryro...

Ahem. It's the job of the President to appoint DAs - with advice and consent from the Senate. The President can ignore that rule - but only once (per district) and only for 120 days. Do you know who appoints DAs after the 120 day mark has passed? Pam Bondi doesn't. Because it's the judiciary.

One of the real revelations of the Epstein emails is that Epstein himself was not especially bright, dispelling the "genius" tag that had always seemed ill fitting. It's almost like there was some other reason rich and powerful men were drawn to him, some other skill he had. Weird.

Oh hey — you know that big Chicago raid where Stephen Miller said the building was “FILLED” with gang members? @propublica found 0 evidence of Tren De Aragua, the men weren’t charged with any crimes. 🤔 (sound familiar Tennessee?) All for show. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

‪I know we’ve become desensitized. That makes it all the more important to regularly emphasize how vulgar and verbally limited the current President of the United States’ language is.‬

Interesting how ICE flights weren't impacted by the shutdown. Just commercial flights. Yet we had to end the shutdown for the airlines? Sure, Jan.

Paramount, Netflix, and Comcast are putting in bids for Warner Bros. Discovery. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 was, in the long run, a very bad idea with disastrous consequences. www.wsj.com/business/med...

wow, washington post. lol that’s the actual headline: comma, epstein. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

It's not good...but it is clarifying to see Megan Kelly show her true colors in ways impossible to ignore.

Mark Wolf, a federal judge appointed by Reagan, is resigning after 40 years on the bench. In an essay published by The Atlantic this week, he wrote, “The White House’s assault on the rule of law is so deeply disturbing to me that I feel compelled to speak out. Silence, for me, is now intolerable.”

Good times.

Translation: He’s weighing a pardon

At this point, ANYONE that is calling the Epstein files a hoax is an accessory after the fact.

The president will discuss the economy, but he will also provide important updates about Hannibal Lecter's dinner plans and Arnold Palmer's substantial penis. Additionally, his team of military physicians will reveal the record-setting results of his latest cognitive testing.

This article is utterly damning for the New York Times and also for Vanity Fair and ABC, whose editorial teams were apparently intimidated into silence by a mix of legal and violent threats. Virginia Giuffre did not stand a chance against all this.

When folks tell me they 'don't like' Science fiction, this is one of the first things I steer them towards. Congrats on the first edition 👏

This is why government officials shouldn’t tweet

NOW YOU'RE TALKING. Keep the focus on the party that caused this.
