GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered? GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now THOMPSON: What does that mean?

🚨 New York Times reports more details than we've had before on how Donald Trump's administration pulled strings to pressure Romania to allow Andrew Tate to travel while he was charged with crimes including trafficking minors and violently beating and raping a 15-year-old girl.

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too? A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

• Beef packer profits: HIGHEST since 2022 • Tyson stock: UP 7% • Beef prices near record highs for you and me •Cattle prices for ranchers: DOWN 3.4% Tyson Executives get richer. Tyson workers, ranchers, and the rest of us get screwed. Monopoly capitalism 101.

this is a good excuse to post my all time favorite Star Trek meme

How to turn expensive fighter planes into submarines:

OpenAI designed the affirming tone of ChatGPT to goose engagement because their business model depends on it. Blanket affirmation and encouragement is how we get people turning to ChatGPT as a therapist AND how we get suicide instructions, deepening delusions, and this shit. It's the business model.

One thing I always want to ask these masculinity entrepreneurs is why men can’t look to women as role models, and can’t see in women models of human virtue and thriving that are worth emulating. After all, women look to men for these all the time.

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars. She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

Wow, you don't expect that sort of racism from a wealthy South African.

Currently dorking out over this graph about child mortality with my brother. Just mind boggling to take in.

ADA: Is this the policy of the Altoona Police Department on searches incident to arrest? Detwiler: Yes. Admitted without objection ADA: What is the rule? Detwiler: We search everyone being arrested, their person and any bag. ADA: Do you know anyone in the NYPD? No

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

“I just have concerns about fairness in sport” - no, you don’t. There’s nothing fair about elite sports. You’re just looking for post hoc justification because we give you the ick

As talks aiming to secure a peace deal continued with a high-level Ukraine-U.S. meeting held in Florida on Nov. 30, the final version of the document remains uncertain, fueling concerns that Russian leaders could walk away without being held accountable for their crimes.

Megyn Kelly on alleged war crimes: "I really do kind of not only wanna see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out."

this headline, and much of the reporting, is the result of believing that the key to good journalism is never taking a position

The Trump administration believes that the rich and powerful should be pardoned for their crimes, even after judges and juries determined their guilt. But if you’re a non-white guy in a fishing boat, there’s no need for a trial or even an arrest. Murder from above, no questions asked.

Exactly 80 years ago this precise moment (8:40am Hamburg time, Nov. 30, 1945), German submarine commander Heinz-Wilhelm Eck and two of his former subordinates on the U-852 were shot by Allies in Hamburg for killing the survivors of a ship they had sunk. Pete Hagueseth needs to lawyer up immediately.

Time once again to rep my favorite place for giving: anelder.org - they supply food, firewood and supplies for traditional crafting to Navajo Elders. If you have the cash, please give these folks a hand.

Every year around this time, I ask folks to consider doing something in support of Native people. This year, please join me in supporting the Native Organizers Alliance as they build grassroots power, defend Native voting rights, and equip our people for collective struggle through skill-building.

The EPA has approved two new pesticides with "forever chemicals" that will be used on food. The agency has also announced plans for four additional approvals. The approved pesticides will be used on vegetables such as romaine lettuce, broccoli and potatoes.

Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

TEN MONTHS IN: The national debt is higher. The trade deficit is wider. The inflation rate has worsened. The unemployment rate is up.

NEW: Evanston has released video + reports surrounding a 10/31 incident where a CBP agent threatened to shoot people + another beat a handcuffed man. We found some disturbing X posts from one of the feds, also seen in other viral videos. His name is Timothy Donahue, and it's now public record:

John Fugelsang I heard it’s actually Christianity that is under attack in the US by a FoxNews fan. Stop it. Stop laughing. I looked into it & it turns out they were RIGHT! Christianity is under attack by phony Christians from within. 1:32 PM · Oct 17, 2022 twitter.com/Kaylan_TX/st... @Kaylan_TX

Would not be surprised now to learn Jeffery Epstein was the photographer.

A few years ago, we asked @eamonwhalen.bsky.social to look into an odd story: A mall in Minneapolis hired a group led by a former military contractor in Iraq to crack down on a memorial garden. Today, we’re publishing the wild story that Eamon dug up. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The fact that the Russians are now mass deporting Ukrainians from occupied lands to Siberia isn't getting enough news coverage.

seeing some misconceptions in the comments. we didn’t see a single federal agent today, aside from one driving a white passenger van that left shortly after i arrived. these were local illinois police. mostly illinois state police and cook county sheriff’s police with a handful of other local pds.

they discontinued pennies because you don't need to offer anything to people to tell you their thoughts anymore, and can't pay them enough to shut up

Would be helpful if the journalists who fawn over #ElonMusk would follow his actions supporting fascism at the expense of democracies around the world. AfD are literal unabashed Nazis. He appeared virtually at a campaign rally. h/t @notesfrompoland.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/note...

Still thinking about this story. Imagine how cooked your brain has to be on Fox News -- how terrified you have to be, every day in your isolated suburban castle -- to start *shooting* when you see brown people at your door, before the door is even open. We're such a nation of terrified cowards.

Trump literally says "shhhhhhhh" after Laura Ingraham notes that the cost of beef, coffee, and auto repairs have gone up.

Discworld QOTD, from Making Money “She had the slightly wistful, slightly hungry look that so many women of a certain age wore when they’d decided to trust in gods because of the absolute impossibility of continuing to trust in men.”

I downloaded a new file explorer for Windows, and what a difference it makes. The default one is awful.
