"I think the exact language is that it is 'not scientifically accurate' to say that vaccines do not cause autism. It’s a very strange formulation. That is like saying, 'I have no evidence that umbrellas do not cause kittens.'" lnk.thebulwark.com/3Xt957M

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

"Officers swear to 'support and defend' the Constitution; to 'bear true faith and allegiance' to it....What they do not swear to do is equally important: Officers make no promise to obey the president and the officers above them."

“The fact that a governmental body can redact more than 1,000 pages of documents that are directly related to a major business’s activities in Texas is certainly problematic,” said Reid Pillifant, an attorney specializing in public records and media law.

Bari Weiss' first weeks at CBS News marked by all-out warfare against professional ethics standards in the newsroom, part of an effort to convert it from journalism into rank political propaganda.

One of many costs to US murder (sorry, no better word for it) in Caribbean: "United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal."

Perhaps of interest to Blue Oyster Cult fans--I get into my lyrics for the BOC, a little, in a recent podcast interview. Some of which this music mag transcribed here. And some of *that* I would have edited a bit if I'd known they were doing this. Still...if you're a #BOC fan...

From Purple Heart recipients to military parents of U.S. Marines, immigrant veterans are being detained, deported, and torn from their families. "These are not isolated cases or tragic instances of human error." #VeteransDay ✍️ @tusk81.bsky.social + @yunao08.bsky.social

Corporate Democrats support torture. youtube.com/shorts/8RTMK...

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate. Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

ICE sprays large canister of pepper spray directly into family car—hitting 1 year old baby. "They were simply shopping at Sam's Club," said man who took video. "ICE agents drove by and sprayed pepper spray directly inside—where their baby and 16 year old sister sat." Cicero, Illinois

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

ICE is completely out of control

Raw footage of men dressed up like ICE agents to take his mother and father—taken by their 15 year old son.

The "backlash" is not yet sufficient. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“More and more cabinet members — Rubio, Miller, Noem — live on military bases now, & it's another parallel to Iraq, where the administration lived in the Green Zone. There’s something deeply unhealthy about a society where leaders are literally shut off from the communities that they govern.”

Reporter: On the Walmart thanksgiving meal, it is cheaper but it also contains less Trump: I haven’t heard that. Who are you with? Reporter: NBC Trump: Fake news

Sen. Kelly: “Donald Trump's official position on the government shutdown is that he will let hardworking Americans go hungry until we give in to his demands to let health care premiums go up dramatically for millions of Americans.”

This sort of language is becoming more and more common nowadays. And now there's growing concern about a "male loneliness epidemic." Wonder if there could possibly be a relationship here 🤔🤔🤔

CBP has been hitting Skokie, outside of Chicago, hard today. At 10:45 today, they jumped out of their vehicles and arrested a man on Lincoln Ave.

The fact that 30% of our stock market is wrapped up in “help-kids-kill-themselves” technology seems to be an important datapoint in the evolution of late stage capitalism.

The pedophile rapist conman criminal currently occupying the presidency is doing everything he can to ensure that Americans are hungry and suffering. And his entire party is helping him, while they cover up his crimes. Fuck Trump and fuck everyone who supports him.

Enshittification is a term coined by Cory Doctorow in 2022. In his new book, Doctorow lays out how tech companies have made our lives progressively worse, finds Matthew Sparkes

ICE grabs father by the neck—send him into violent seizure while his arms lock up around his toddler. "He's having seizure and they're trying to rip the baby out of his hands!" Agents then handcuff him—before putting in ambulance with his child. Mother is detained by agents as target of arrest.

He is almost at the 28% population of Americans who think the sun revolves around the Earth. I suspect that 28% are making up some of that 37% who thinks he’s doing a great job. I also suspect that in that same 37%, 21% are the functionally illiterate crowd.

We've got you 👍

It's what they do. Never has a group of elected officials been so against Democracy.

So Trump says he knows nothing about the pardon he issued for a billionaire who just so happened to make his family a fortune in crypto. This clip is going viral for a reason. Don’t underestimate a struggling American public’s slowly building intolerance for this kind of blatant corruption.
