Every day, every second we breathe, is a chance to treat Palestinian life and survival with urgency. Six families & a camp need still-life-or-death: - Food - Shelter - Blankets - Newborn supplies Click "weekly" on a coffee. It helps enormously. chuffed.org/project/hope...

@sarahkarlin-smith.bsky.social have you seen this yet

“Should we follow the Geneva Conventions?” Pete Hegseth asked in 2024. It’s almost as if there were signs! bsky.app/profile/anna...

Another Indiana Republican Senator makes it clear he’s still opposing the GOP push to re-gerrymander the state. dailyjournal.net/2025/11/26/s...

@profanity.accountant how'm I doing?

Reminder that in high school, Tucker Carlson listed himself as a member of the "Dan White Society," named after the man who shot and killed Harvey Milk, the first openly gay elected official.

You've heard of the Friday night news dump. Here's the Friday night of Thanksgiving wknd dump. For special circumstances, like when the faculty assembly votes 595-4 against paying to end a shakedown and you do it anyway. Link to agreement here: bulkmail.northwestern.edu/trk/click?re...

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

Introduce yourself with five animals you've seen in the wild: Cat Pigeon Rat Squirrel Chipmunk

I just wrote to thank Senator Bohacek. Both because I despise Trump's use of this slur and because redistricting in the middle of the decade for political gain is wrong.

Hi everybody, It's Black Friday, a big day for us at The Onion, since we rely almost entirely on your memberships. Our goal for 2026? More print subscribers than the Washington Post. This is, somehow, feasible. So sign up! A year of print is $75 for the year today. Help us do a very funny thing.

"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

Paco Cerdà on fascism and memory in Spain. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/28/o...

This whole thing is racist, but take particular note of the threat of denaturalization. That's stripping people of their citizenship, and that's the road to mass murder and atrocity.

Reverse migration, ffs. Terrifying rhetoric.

I realize this is Stephen Miller garbage-thought, but what does it mean? "Permanently pause migration" -- no student visas? What constitutes a "Third World Country," a phrase which reeks of the middle of the 20th century? Is this rhetoric or policy?

I gave, please join us!

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

After this payout, I believe Brian Kelly will have made roughly $112 million in salary since that Notre Dame student videographer died taping Kelly's practice in high winds in 2010

REUTERS: “Trump blamed Biden-era vetting failures for the admission of an Afghan immigrant suspected of shooting two National Guard members — but the alleged gunman was granted asylum this year under Trump…” www.yahoo.com/news/article...

People in the U.S. need to be paying attention to what’s happening in the U.K., because it’s going hand in hand with what is happening in the U.S., the agitators at work on both sides of the pond are working hand in hand with each other, and both have similar goals of ethnic cleansing.

What’s crazy is that Christian’s literally stole Native American children

Wow, this one is insane.

The new Vanity Fair editor sought to make his magazine less woke and some of his first moves were hiring Olivia Nuzzi, publishing an abstract nude of Nuzzi by a person now alleged to have made illegal recordings on her behalf, and putting only men in the Hollywood issue

USDA quietly said Friday it will, after a century, end the Farm Labor Survey (FLS), the only wage survey of ag employers. FLS is a critical input to setting local minimum wages for H-2A visa workers to try to avoid harm to U.S. workers' wages. #LaborDay #EconSky www.nass.usda.gov/Newsroom/Not...

5:45 pm on Thanksgiving Eve? Now THIS is how you news dump.

The other conflict seems to be between having a plan before bulldozing and not having a plan.

Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

Indiana University 'may reject proposed degree programs at public institutions that don’t “cultivate civic responsibility and commitment to the core values of American society.”' www.insidehighered.com/news/quick-t...

I once taught a whole lesson on the narratives of deservedness in the very strange concept of “stealing” books from something conspicuously branded as a “free” little library. The students struggled with it. A lot of internalized beliefs about poverty and worth. But I think it was a good lesson.

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.

“The reorganization is another step in a series of actions by the Trump administration to redefine civil rights with policies championed by conservatives, a departure from traditional civil rights issues including racial discrimination and policing.”

you're telling me a right-wing catholic convert is just a protestant in disguise? shocked

Ms. Kuyateh was one of 19 third-country nationals sent to Ghana on Nov. 6. At least 61 TCNs have been removed there since September. Others report similar treatment. Nigerians were forced to cross into Togo w/o documents, rendering them essentially stateless www.nbcwashington.com/investigatio...

this is mesmerizing

I’ve been running around asking tech execs and academics if language was the same as intelligence for over a year now - and, well, it isn’t. @benjaminjriley.bsky.social explains how the bubble is built on ignoring cutting-edge research into the science of thought www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history." BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2036...
