Very lonely and incarcerated.

31 years ago this month, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated. I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

It’s #Caturday 😻 Here’s Frederick celebrating. Legs dangling. Judgement imminent!

"No one's going to build a factory based on a tariff that's on on Monday, off on... Tuesday, the president's changed his mind by Wednesday, he gets hormonal by Thursday and someone says something nasty in the middle school cafeteria on Friday and they're back on again."

My health insurance premiums will more than double in January. I pay a little less than $500/month for my current silver plan. I just reapplied and my new premium will be $1062/month. And don’t forget: I still have a co-pay for every visit and pay for prescriptions.

Seal Team 6 will be on trial at The Hague. Who else in the military is willing to risk life in prison for this regime?

As a son of Appalachia, I understand the opioid crisis better than anyone. That's why I'm proud to stand with the Honduran president who delivered drugs to needy Americans with such efficiency. by JD Vance

The National Guard needs to have a babysitter, so they don't get hurt. This is not what National Guard Members signed up for, yet here we are today. They are being forced to act as police officers. The starting pay for DC cops is 80K, Guard Members start pay: 24K or LESS! wtop.com/dc/2025/11/d...

Wave of people filled the streets tonight for the one-year anniversary of daily, uninterrupted, non-stop #GeorgiaProtests. It’s day 366 and the resistance is as alive as ever. Until the end, until the victory.

Dem Aftyn Behn is polling 2 POINTS behind Matt Van Epps (MAGA loco dude) in a Trump +22 district. The election is Tuesday. That should scare the shit out of the GOP. If she wins, all bets are off. The GOP Congress is toast. If you have time to help with phone & text banking, please do.

GUARDIAN: “Per head, 🇺🇸 output is six times China’s, and yet, inexplicably, there seem to be more abjectly poor Americans than Chinese. 🇺🇸 inequality is breathtaking… keeps getting worse…” Wanting to address this isn’t radical. NOT wanting to is. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

There’s no fking way I’d let anyone talk to a woman like that…I don’t know why other reporters stand mute while this abuse happens in front of them.

Communities need used-book shops. As the trends in our world are increasingly standardized and entrenched by "predictive" technologies that stifle innovation and reduce human actions into economic categories... We need a full range of possibilities for readers and communities to explore and share.

Heavy-industry sectors like cement have long struggled to decarbonise because their processes require very high temperatures. That’s why the new Rondo Energy heat-battery project in Thailand is such a big deal - powering a cement plant with low-carbon steam. www.energy-storage.news/rondo-energy...

I interviewed Aftyn Behn, who is running in a special election in TN7 — if you know anyone in the district, please remind them to vote for Aftyn. She has a real shot to flip the congressional seat. @aftynbehn.bsky.social jesspiper.substack.com/p/feed-kids-...

Ask yourself why there wasn’t this level of wall to wall coverage for this shooting wgme.com/news/local/i...

Trump - Witkoff - Putin >> This is not hard to understand: Witkoff, on behalf of President Trump, is advancing Putin's aims which has always been to seize Ukraine or Ukrainian territory. The leak is from an intelligence source and reported by Bloomberg. It reveals Trump as pro-Russia.

So he was "homegrown" + trained by the CIA, working for the Zero Unit in Afghanistan, which had a reputation for the following: "The units also had a reputation for ruthlessness, with journalists and human rights groups referring to them as 'death squads.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/27/u...

And just sad most people don't care how much wildlife it's killing. Killed so many wild birds it's been called 'the modern silent spring'. Catastrophic declines in the number of birds and other wildlife are likely if countries do not act urgently.... www.theguardian.com/environment/...

When asked about the death of a W. Virginia National Guardsman, the President of the United States bragged about his electoral margin in her state. When asked about the shooter, he called the reporter a stupid person. Please stop holding quarter for anyone supporting this monstrous piece of shit.

this is just gutter racism

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

This smells like outright collusion with Russia to me. Trump shrugs it off as what a dealmaker does: sell the plan to Ukraine, sell the plan to Russia. He says “we must end this war” and thinks he deserves the Nobel Prize??? Not if it's at the cost of Ukraine’s sovereignty.

So not only was the DC shooter granted asylum by this administration, but he also has ties to the CIA and was even in possession of a CIA-issued ID. This administration gives one no choice but to entertain conspiracy theories.

Seems like most (esp. "journalists") criticizing Fani Willis for using RICO or getting disqualified are glossing over the facts that she elicited several guilty pleas from defendants and was replaced by a MAGA prosecutor who is the one requesting the dismissal. Are journalists really this ignorant?

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Putin aide Yuri Ushakov called the leaked chat with U.S. envoy Witkoff “very unusual,” blaming WhatsApp and hinting someone wanted it exposed. He claimed neither side wanted the leak, but compared it to the Flynn case, suggesting Witkoff might have enemies in D.C. Yeah right.

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...
