The entire West comes together to reject the Dmiriev 28-point plan to which Trump affixed his name. This would appear to mark the absolute modern low point of US diplomatic influence on he world stage.

NEWS: Libraries WIN in federal court! A judge in RI issued a permanent injunction stopping the Administration from dismantling the Institute of Museum & Library Services and nullifying all actions taken to do so. Read the ruling: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... (More to come from ALA)

More than 30,000 Students demand protection from ICE. With each passing day students continue to push back, protest, and resist ICE’s terrorism of these students’ community! This is what happens when the youth activates. Whole regimes have fallen before the power of the youth!

FYI @nursesforamerica.bsky.social Nursing no longer a professional degree. See changes to student loans share.google/JbE0V0BrEbDW...

@nursesforamerica.bsky.social I wrote a new blog post to support your upcoming webinar, featuring @davidpepperoh.bsky.social - looking forward to joining and learning! relentlessschoolnurse.com/2025/11/16/t...

Enough…We all must firmly reject the misrepresentation of the facts by the CDC and RFK Jr. Patients should trust the nurses, physicians, and healthcare experts who do the work are accountable for the advice they provide.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

My nursing education journey mirrors so many others in the US. As someone that relied on these loan programs, this issue would have affected me as an NP student. This affects the future of healthcare, regardless of whether this admin recognizes nursing as a profession or not…

@sarahkendzior.bsky.social has surpassed her own very high standards. Read this piece about Johnny Cash, nature, solace and redemption and wonder at how privileged we are to share in such a beautiful piece of writing and the emotions behind it. open.substack.com/pub/sarahken...

Beautiful and poignant essay by @sarahkendzior.bsky.social about loss, and the world around us, and where we find hope. As someone who's mourned the passing of both of my parents, one of whom was ill for years, this resonates with me a lot. sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/the-empty-...

To paraphrase The Man Himself, this beats all I ever saw. Sarah not so much knocks it out of the park, but launched it into orbit.

I so enjoyed listening to @sarahkendzior.bsky.social describe the many levels of deceit & corruption in our govt & among those reprehensible individuals pulling their strings...regardless of political affiliation‼️ Her books should be flying off the shelves ‼️👏 Epstein was one of many depraved players

Well look there @sarahkendzior.bsky.social great book The Last American Road Trip in the top ten books this year from @miamibookfair.bsky.social bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

"I don’t see the wonders of nature as a reward so much as an invitation to keep trying. That for one night my suffering is recognized and relieved in magnitude equal to the weight I carry." Some beautiful writing and photos by @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

Y'all, @sarahkendzior.bsky.social 's brilliance is unmatched. This is an absolute Must Read. The Empty Stage open.substack.com/pub/sarahken...

@sarahkendzior.bsky.social is too good for this stupid app. Her newsletter is free. This one is painful poetry about the wonders of the world and life and death. The personal & universal. I never thought anyone could articulate the magic of the natural world the way I experience it, but this is it.

New interview: youtu.be/e84jycTBfdY?...

Highly recommend @sarahkendzior.bsky.social’s “They Knew: How a Culture of Conspiracy Keeps America Complacent”. She wrote it in 2022. Reading Sarah’s work has prepared me for this moment, and I credit her with making me painfully in touch with reality. Surprised her books haven’t been banned, tbh.

A beautiful piece. On: how quoting Johnny Cash in context led to a ban; the miracle of nature; death grief and loss. And magic. “The botanist George Washington Carver wrote that nature will share its secrets if you love it enough. That has been my experience, and I believe it cuts both ways.”

"Every administration had people directly connected to Epstein in top positions. Barr, Blinken, Acosta, etc. You can play 'six degrees of Jeffrey Epstein' but it's like, the guy down the hall. You don't have to look very far." www.youtube.com/watch?v=e84j...

Alito who flew insurrection flags at his home pauses ruling blocking Texas gerrymander. The most corrupt justice enables the most blatant rigging. This isn't jurisprudence; it's Republican operatives in robes. When SCOTUS becomes the GOP's legal enforcement arm, the Court's legitimacy is fiction.

Instagram is letting neo-Nazism go mainstream. Influencers like Hayden McDougall and Dylan Shane push Holocaust denial, Nazi symbols, and extremist merch to millions — all under Meta’s watch. A platform built for connection is now powering the spread of openly extremist ideology. Read more:

MTG has been in Congress since 2020 & is resigning Jan 5, 2026. I just want to point out one thing. She spent 5 years attacking the left & never feared for her life. She spent 5 weeks mildly critiquing MAGA & the backlash is so severe she is resigning. 5 years vs 5 weeks. That says it all.

THE LEFT NEEDS TO COOL DOWN THE RHETORIC, THO….

I still cannot get over her harassment of David Hogg. Following him down the street, screaming at him. A school shooting victim, survivor. J6 bullshit. She also has a pardon in her back pocket. No respect for her. No trust.

Editorial Boards have been derelict in their defense of American democracy. Credit to a local paper for standing up: @sentinelcolorado.com the first to call for #impeachment. Showing AGSulzberger & NYT, Will Lewis & WaPo, Emma Tucker & WSJ what the Fourth Estate is for. bsky.app/profile/sent...

Spineless speaker does it again

NEW: Federal judge rules Trump's D.C. troop invasion is likely illegal, must end by Dec. 11. National Guard troops have been in D.C. since August. A federal judge ruled Thursday that both deployments — D.C. National Guard and out-of-state troops — likely violate the law. Tonight, at Law Dork:

I made a similar comparison in 2020 at the old place:

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

"It is without precedent that the biggest names in Chicago journalism have come together to condemn a public action" Chicagoans are putting up a helluva resistance to Trump's terror campaign here. Now retired journalists are also speaking out. New from me: open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...

There are still people who will tell you Trump didn't defend the Nazis in Charlottesville with his "very fine people" comments because of that bad-faith snopes article, but all you have to do is watch the way he can't stop defending Nazis. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/16/u...

Look, again, one very easy way for the New York Times to escape the constant criticism which it has found itself subject to these last years would be for it to stop acting in ways that <completely justify> all of the constant criticism which it has found itself subject to these last years.

And when they do cover it…

Look, I think it’s folly to monitor NYT coverage at this point but it just has to be said that the NYT covered those damn university president hearings BREATHLESSLY but the Epstein emails???? Crumbs. Even though I’m used to them being bootlickers, it’s still appalling to see.

The difference between the sociopathic and non-sociopathic takes is really quite stark

I should be transparent. The NYT has approached @mississippifreepress.org reporters and editors about potential reporting partnerships. We have declined to have those conversations. We know it’s a reader play and don’t want clubby NYT control/influence on our reporting choices for obvious reasons.

Trump doesn’t have to call on House Republican to vote to release the file. Trump can order Bondi and Patel to release the files. Tomorrow. The question is, has he already ordered Bondi and Patel to destroy some of the files after they went through them months ago.

“The State of Water” is a book that explores what has led to California’s current water crisis, “exposing a history of unlimited growth in spite of finite natural resources." Trump banned it from Yosemite National Park www.sfgate.com/national-par...

New York Times tries to cover-up the Epstein elite criminal network, and assure you it's all in the past. But super expensive elite private clubs are flourishing in NYC right now. Our indicted corrupt mayor hangs out in them. That’s Epstein's world, going strong. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/16/s...

They did something similar in Trump’s first term.

No mention of the Saudi personal deal with Trump letting family pocket millions? www.cnn.com/2025/11/16/p...
