#MorningVibe Imagine a world united—not by borders or flags, but by shared hope and humanity. When we stand together, our differences become our strength, and peace becomes more than a dream—it becomes our collective reality. 🌍✨

Oh look. More churches treating poor people like they're criminals. If these large church congregations actually walked the path of Christ, they would leave these churches. This is why I left the church at 12 and never looked back. This one is in Kalamazoo, MI. #SheShed

"In 2025, 40% of women aged 15 to 44 say they would move abroad permanently if they had the opportunity. The current figure is four times higher than the 10% who shared this desire in 2014, when it was generally in line with other age and gender groups."

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants. We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

At UN climate summit, Gavin Newsom labels Trump "an invasive species"

What Epstein email revelation from today stands out the most to you? For me, it’s that Donald was staring at the young girls in the pool so much he walked right into a glass door.

NEW! @therickwilson.bsky.social & @katiephang.bsky.social give us the context we need to understand what today’s Epstein email dump really says about Trump’s knowledge of Epstein’s trafficking ring. Subscribe to watch the full episode on Lincoln Square: www.lincolnsquare.media/p/rick-wilso...

One horrific thing to me is that the president- a man who has gotten away with everything including literal murder up to this point- seems extremely nervous about anything regarding Epstein coming out. Like how bad does it have to be

We have some good neighbors.

Sarah Kendzior has responded. One thing she mentions is @safety.bsky.app asserts that the post in question was made on November 10th, but it was apparently posted in October—when the WSJ story on Johnny Cash that she was quote-posting was initially published. substack.com/profile/3455...

CONFIRMED: the gold snot covering the Oval Office is $58-apiece onlays from Home Depot that have been spraypainted. When Laura Ingraham confronted Trump about this in the Oval—specifically and correctly noting that the tacky garbage was from Home Depot—he lied to her face and insisted it wasn't.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

While I do not have the full extent of its revenues, it is obvious that OpenAI's costs are dramatically higher - by several billion dollars - than previously reported. Similarly, the implied revenues are much lower than reported. I am deeply concerned. www.wheresyoured.at/oai_docs/#wh...

Apropos of nothing in particular: Have any of you guys ever seen the movie "Wag the Dog"?

"There's an expectation from everybody that the Dems are always going to swoop in and be the adults in the room and save the Republicans from the disastrous policies that they themselves put forward... It's so outside the realm of possibility to EVER imagine Republicans might do the right thing."

Going to be writing some things for MSNBC/NOW. Here’s a look at how Trump says great things are going to happen when they aren’t because he wants you not to be mad about the bad things that actually *are* happening. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

AOC's former chief of staff is running for Pelosi's seat. But he sided with tech zillionaires to oust a Bernie Sanders-endorsed supervisor in SF. The local left doesn't trust him. His fans call him the next Mamdani. But reality is complicated for Saikat Chakrabarti. sf.gazetteer.co/what-makes-s...

Journalist Evan Hurst has been keeping an ongoing list of Christian and Republican leaders who have been caught exploiting kids. Hurst has identified 188 Christian and Republican leaders this year, so far, stating, “If MAGA is so upset about Epstein, they should hear about Baptists!”

Bagley pretty much nails it.

Medicare 4 all. Why should we pay all that money to insurance companies who deny us coverage and make medical decisions based on company profits? We pay more for less.

They have shown a reluctance to even feed their own people, how could they implement universal health care. A land of real kleptocracy now. I expect to not see it in my lifetime.

13) I think Dem leadership still suffers from frame drag. They think it's the 90s. Trump is dismantling the powers of Congress. They have to rise to that moment and demand big things. Vought is expanding the playing field to thinks off the table. Dems need to do the same. ###

“Structural ignorance.” Yes.

📌I can't stop banging this drum: Democrats had a spectacular Tuesday at the polls, the wind at their backs, and basically punched themselves and their voters in the face five days later. This is political malpractice at best, and out and out brazen capitulation to their billionaire donors at worst.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

It’s hard to blame the SNAP benefits on Democrats when Senile Satan has gone to every court available to stop them.

Nope never gonna happen

🧵Donald Trump is famous for being able to manipulate his supporters' opinions. But he comes from a long line of far-right oligarchs who mask radically pro-rich policies as "populist." The only difference between today's billionaires & earlier ones is that Peter Thiel et al say the quiet part aloud.

The US national strategy to prevent suicide failed to address the risks posed by social media and AI, Erich Mische writes. That's why he's come to regret signing it — and calling for a new plan.

Trump’s 50-year mortgage proposal is a spectacularly dumb idea. He’s basically admitting he has no clue how to lower housing costs—just a plan to enrich banks and trap Americans in debt until they die.

In 2001, terrorists tried to destroy the White House with a hijacked plane. 24 years later, the president of the United States accepted a plane from people funding terrorists and destroyed the White House himself.🔄

And there are many other reasons I don't use LLMs. They're not reliable, they are built on theft, their creation incurs environmental costs & direct harm to people. The broader societal push to use AI for everything is destructive in countless ways & has horrifying political ramifications.
