Thank you Jennifer and Angie “Pumps” for your articulate and empathic response to ‘this—masked kidnappings off American streets—is what black Americans have been experiencing for the last 400 years. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/i...

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks. They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES (sing along 🎶) DAY 1 DECEMBER 2025 THESE HORRENDOUS TIMES PLUS THE HOLIDAYS🌲 HOPE YOU HAD WONDERFUL WEEKEND MIGRANTS ARE NOT ALL CRIMINALS STOP ICE AGENTS BRUTALITY So sing along with me 🎶 🎶 "WE DON'T WANT NO MORE DEPORTATIONS AT THE HOME DEPOT PARKING LOT "🎶

Remember Thomas Jacob Sanford, the Iraq veteran who burned up a Mormon Church in September? Remember Nigel Edge, the Iraq veteran sniper who shot up a bar from his boat in Cape Fear, also in September? Keep track of how differently we speak of them than Rahmanullah Lakanwal.

We have a cabinet level Secretary of State, a diplomatic corps, Special Envoys, and Defense team to do this work. “Son-in-law” is not a government job. Kushner does not represent us.

guys I found a copy of the scan

Historian Rutger Bregman is a well-respected proponent of a universal basic income. The Guardian has called him “the Dutch wunderkind of new ideas.” The BBC invited Bregman to give this year’s Reith Lecture series. Before airing, the BBC removed one sentence from his lecture, “A Time of Monsters.”

It's a censorship engine designed to promote ideas that Elon Musk likes and suppress ideas that Elon Musk does not like. I really don't get why this evident fact - that Musk openly admits! - is so hard for so many people to understand

Remember this? The most amazing thing about this remarkable 2002 car commercial is that it didn’t seem to realize at the time, or perhaps didn’t care, how effectively it made the point that cars and car infrastructure are a HUGE waste of space in cities. Award-winning 2002 ad for Saturn car company.

These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott. From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

The Fed is gutting its ability to monitor warning signs of bank failures and slashing rules put in place after 2008 to prevent another financial crisis. Now, big banks are ramping up the same risky behaviors that led to the last economic crash–setting the stage for another one.

“This is what corruption looks like. They’re stealing money from the 🇺🇸 people’s pockets.” @crockett.house.gov calls out Trump’s DHS Secretary Kristi Noem for funneling hundreds of millions to a group she has close ties to.

Past is prologue. In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests. And everything that led to it feels way too familiar right now. This is not a history lesson, it’s a warning.

Stephen Miller thinks reminding people of their oaths of office is “calling for an insurrection,” which should tell you exactly how he feels about the Constitution

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

totally normal. nothing to see here.

Per CNN, Elizabeth Warren is calling on Harvard to cut ties with Larry Summers after Jeffrey Epstein's emails released last week by House Dems featured Summers making sexist comments + asking for Epstein’s romantic advice.

BLOOMBERG REPORTER: “If there’s nothing incriminating in the Epstein files why not…?” TRUMP: “Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.” 😕

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

So the one to 25,000 bad apples in the NYPD are "self-deporting?" What a great way to weed out the most prejudiced assholes. Congratulations, New York City!

I don’t think Donald Trump is doing well

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao? TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him. TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

Nothing is normal anymore.

Without the night shift, there is no morning.

Trump was asked by 60 Minutes about immigration agents using aggresive"H tactics like busting people's windows. "Have those tactics gone too far?" "No", Trump said, "I think they haven't gone far enough." This is what that looks like in the real world. projects.propublica.org/trump-ice-sm...

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo! I know how hard you worked for this.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

When I told a friend about this she said, “but that’s when I get all my deals…” My response… what will you do when there are no deals, no food, no jobs, no homes…?

Not funding SNAP is a choice, & Trump is choosing to let American families go hungry.

Although not as nationally famous as Zohran Mamdani, Seattle also has a progressive candidate focused on public transit, affordable housing, child care, and stronger renter protections. She’s also taking on a well-known corporate Democrat—incumbent Bruce Harrell.

🚨Our taxes paid for a security net to prevent this kind of nationwide hunger crisis and Trump unilaterally opted to deny using these designated funds. 1/2

Based on this indictment and several others, we see that the government has empaneled a grand jury to look into activities that inconvenience ICE in any way in an attempt to criminalize Chicagoans. I'll link to resources from @lucyparsonslabs.com below->
