#BREAKING | The Israeli Knesset approved a bill proposed by the Ben Gvir party that allows Israeli forces to arrest Palestinians over social media posts without requiring approval from the Attorney General.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength. Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans. The American people need more from their leaders.

The GOP is vulnerable. Today seems like a very good day to: 1. Post and repost about increases to ACA healthcare plans. 2. Call your Reps today. www.5calls.org makes it easy. 3. Fight ICE. Join community patrols & protests, repost videos.

Palestinian Ali Hasan al-Hashash’s relatives mourned him today after he was killed by Israeli occupation gunfire east of Bureij Camp while collecting firewood for his family.

Have you watched The Alchemy Lecture? Why not? Sound—at the Interregnum. It’s fantastic.

Can someone please push the Ciintons, in their hearse-shaped pram, offstage now please?!

The President has all the authority he needs to pay SNAP benefits out today. A federal court ordered him to do it over the weekend. Now, he’s saying the quiet part out loud: he’s choosing to withhold food and use hungry kids as a political weapon. www.cnn.com/2025/11/04/p...

Dick Cheney dies; vice president who loved lies and unapologetically supported wars in Iraq, Afghanistan

Mike Johnson: ‘My Christian Faith Is More About Not Jacking Off Than Feeding The Poor’

Between Gitmo, the Department of "Homeland Security," the Hague Invasion Act, extraordinary rendition, torture gulags, No Child Left Behind, the Patriot Act, and the Great Recession, Bush and Cheney did more to enable the rise of Trump and fascism in the US than almost anyone in the 21st century.

Today is only the beginning. Our time has come, New York. Our time is now.

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.) www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/03/c...

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Do NOT miss the chance to experience and learn from this extraordinary event! Brilliant choice of speakers and each part of the evening perfect. 💚

A Nature poll found that 75% of U.S. researchers are considering leaving the country. Guyz, even the *historians* are leaving or contemplating / likely to go. Including, at least 3 historians that I know of in my subfield. 😢

I encourage people to listen. Sonic protection. Acoustic healing.

From MeidasTouch Legal AF: The Convicted FElon DOJ is now deleting court documents on J6 terrorists who have been in trouble with law repeatedly. The DOJ was caught when a judge noticed a document missing on a J6'er, who wanted to bomb Obama's home & was convicted for it. I bet these are ICE now.

So amazing, and I'm grateful we have two weeks to re-watch and think with these ideas. The Alchemy Lecture 2025 Sound—at the Interregnum Glen Coulthard Canisia Lubrin Madeleine Thien Immanuel Wilkins

Farm workers in Ventura County, CA are harvesting the marigolds that are used in altars for #DiadelosMuertos celebrations. The scent of these flowers is thought to attract the souls of the dead and guide them to their homes.

Improvisation is the ongoing rehearsal of new modes of existing. It’s a meditation that allows the body into the archive for the unrecorded - Immanuel Wilkins

The USDA has a contingency plan to keep SNAP running during a government shutdown — but the document laying out that plan has been deleted from the agency’s website. www.notus.org/trump-white-...

The lecture worth waiting a year for, the lecture that lights up each October and goes on illuminating! Can’t wait for the book—and I celebrate the “scribble on the saxophone” which can’t be captured there. 🙏🏻 @hystericalblkns.bsky.social ❣️

Shadow President: Project 2025 Architect Russell Vought Is Using Shutdown to Gut Federal Agencies

Trump's United States embodies the worst of its history, mass death, corruption, fascism, and imperialism. If the US abandons its alliance with Colombia it risks losing control of the Western Hemisphere which it built through decades of coercion, CIA plots, and the so called "war on drugs."

The new # is TOFU: Trump Only Fails Us (actually another “F” verb, actually ending “up”): it’s all disastrous.

I know something about aircraft pricing, and when you "need" to get updated avionics, safety equipment etc. This is grotesquely wasteful, unnecessary, and self-aggrandizing. No Kings. Also, no cosplay Marie Antoinettes. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...
