This nation would be a better place if just one White House reporter had the courage to ask "what the hell are you rambling about, old man?"

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Everyone saying ”giving that essay a zero was probably too harsh, I would have given it like a 70% to avoid conflict” are perfectly demonstrating how the us education system has been successfully dismantled.

That assignment isn't a religious freedom issue. You have to do the assignment. They didn't do the assignment. The feedback was incredibly generous and thorough, much more thorough than the assignment. This is about bending over backwards to the far right, not about religious freedom or anything.

OU has put the professor here on administrative leave:

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

Big food banks get attention and resources but small, community-based food banks also do important work filling gaps in the safety net. Let’s boost nine of them, from the city to the suburbs to rural Colorado. I’ll match the next fifty $5 donations: www.coloradogives.org/story/arapah...

Thankful for good community, for people working hard to make the world better, and for dogs. Specifically mine, Penny, who is primarily thankful for blankets.

this op-ed is a video reel of interviews with some of the 47 million people in the US experiencing food insecurity right now. if you can, i hope you give to local mutual aid groups today/this weekend.

So much good. New friends, great panels, books. It was a blast #aarsbl25. See ya next year!

My busiest #aarsbl25 day is starting well! Let’s hope that continues through my paper tonight (which I finally got down to time).

Every single year the Hip Hop and Religion section is doing great, important, fascinating work in a room far too small for the audience. #aarsbl25

#AARSBL #SBLAAR folks! My wife puts together a google map of vegan-friendly restaurants near the convention center every year. Feel free to share with anyone who might be interested! www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/v...

Hey #AARSBL folks: gentle reminder to add alt text to your posts about the conference. It’s already exclusionary enough.

okay, friends, let's do something community-oriented and helpful. #sblaar25 veterans, drop your best conference advice for first-time attendees. be sure to signal boost so folks across bluesky can add on/peruse.

Paper is almost ready! It’s been really exciting to work on this one. Come give it a listen (and the others in my session—they look really good!) #aarsbl2025

First they came for the liberals And I did not speak out because I wanted them to come for the liberals Then they came for the immigrants And I did not speak out because I wanted them to come for the immigrants Then they came for me, Which sucked for me -Marjorie Taylor Greene

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract. Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

NEWS: The UK 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, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs. So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract. Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels. The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

After those results, the Democratic response to GOP pressure to cave on the shutdown should simply be

Union-backed candidates are leading all four races for the Denver Public Schools’ Board of Education, with two incumbents trailing, according to early election results.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

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

Food lines were 2X normal this morning at the Weld Food Bank, which told me 2/3rds of their visitors said they were impacted by the SNAP food benefit freeze. Our microgiving campaign has raised $50,000 for Weld Food Bank so far. Even $5 helps: weldfoodbank.org/wordofthanks/

This is a shame because Teen Vogue has been VERY good with talking about politics over the past couple of years.

Kristi Noem: "No American citizens have been arrested or detained.” Except for the ones that were.

It’s the racism, for sure. But I have also wondered if there is a certain bias I don’t have a name for — like, his natural athleticism makes him read as an action star even when he is doing drama?? So (especially white out-of-touch) voters don’t see him as an actor? Or it’s just the racism.

The Senate is still meeting and holding votes as normal despite the shutdown. The House has not held a vote in a month and a half now solely because Mike Johnson wants to prevent the release of the Epstein Files. They've killed our government to save their pedophiles.

The Regime is now threatening Social Security and Medicare if the government shutdown doesn’t end. Reminder that Republicans have the power to end the shutdown at ANY TIME. They simply do not care to do so.

Absolutely right.

#aarsbl25 question….is the Scottish University reception no longer? Or can I just not find it. #priorities

my lukewarm take is that normal people don't like the east wing being demolished and at some point they're gonna see a list of all the corporate donors for the ballroom and blame them for it

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Donald Trump just did something truly awful and is hoping you won't notice. He fired all of the special education staff at the Department of Education. What kind of person abandons kids with special needs?

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

In some ways, the regime half-assedly tearing off part of the White House without regard for construction protocols might have more of an impact on the offline folks than the past ten months.

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens? You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate? Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

Holy shit. This is Angelo Elia, a legislative correspondent for Congressman Dave Taylor. According to @rooster.info, during a Zoom meeting today, he had an American nazi flag displayed in the background.

He still had this up *after* the story about the Young Republicans group chat with the Hitler praise was released.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.
