Today marks the 50th anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The federal government has never lived up to its commitment to shoulder 40 percent of the cost. Now, advocates want the feds to pony up, @juliametraux.bsky.social writes. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

First he did a Capital One ad based on Saturday Night Fever. Now it’s Grease. You have to figure it will be Pulp Fiction next, then Urban Cowboy, The Boy in the Plastic Bubble and what? Battlefield Earth?

Losing Melissa Hortman and Faith Winter in the same year. 2025 fuck off into the sun already

*lifts my readers up in Gen X*

“She believed in the work she was doing, believed in the power of friendship and connection and will always live on that way and certainly live on in my heart.” Colorado Sen. Faith Winter was killed Wed. in a crash on I-25. She was 45 years old. via @denverpost.com www.denverpost.com/2025/11/27/f...

The family is fed and the kitchen cleaned up. My dad and college kiddo are back home with leftovers for days. Dogs are walked and ready to settle in. My entire heart is full and grateful for this little life here in Colorado. ❤️

This is so tragic. Faith brought many other women into the political arena, training them and mentoring them on a local to national level.

Waking up to the news that Faith Winter is gone is just devastating. What a fighter for Colorado women and families. 💔

So far: turkey brining; Parker house rolls baked; dressing par baked; green beans par baked Up next: sweet potato gratin, sweet and spicy glazed carrots and beets; make ahead gravy. That will just leave the turkey, mashed potatoes, giblet gravy, and warm sprouts salad for tomorrow

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

there was a running gag on the Upright Citizens Brigade series where in the UCBverse everyone hated astronauts, an easy joke for an fill-in-the-blank moment because in the real world they're thought of as the coolest motherfuckers walking around anyway good luck babe picking a fight with Mark Kelly

It's never been more 2003 than it is right now.

Staycation starts today

Year 5 and counting hosting the holidays in this house and it really feels like I’m just getting warmed up

Not surprising from politico but wild that not one publication that has covered this story has led with SNOWPIERCER

A nice thing about having a lot of my day to day existence in Colorado is that nobody knows or gives a shit about any of this Nuzzi/Lizza circus

god bless these two teams, they have decided to say fuck off to a cagey championship game

I truly hope everyone has fun in tonight’s NWSL final

A very good piece. “The fact that many men believe they no longer even have to pretend to respect women in order to participate in public life makes it unlikely that anything will change anytime soon.”

Feeling very Time Variance Authority around these parts

Lost my voice for the first time in years thanks to this stupid crud

BREAKING: Justice Alito has temporarily blocked the Texas redistricting court's order, effectively restoring the newly drawn map, while the Supreme Court considers the petition. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

every week just gets weirder tbh

Come for the smart takes, stay for the comparison of Nuzzi to Bondi

A health care industry rag featured a story on how hospitals want to use AI for nursing the day after the administration declares nursing degrees will no longer be considered professional degrees. So there’s the endgame folks. Same for public education.

The way the Black Panthers understood food aid as a crucial form of self defense against the capitalist machinery of the racial state remains essential to the struggle against fascism today.

The dismantling of public health systems is also a reorganizing of the public health economy to Christian grift. It’s the parallel track of dismantling all public social services especially education

Stop appealing to Republicans. Stop begging them to abandon Trump. It's not happening. Ever. Threaten them with consequences instead.

Diseases and labor policies and housing and education and….

trying to start a moral panic and the stories are all like “the ADHD meds really helped but didn’t solve everything”

We had job interviews *in hotel rooms* and everyone shrugged like this was just how things go

Wanna see a visual on the result of the Republican attack on public health? I’ve got you covered. This is from Pew Research Center’s most recent survey, showing a 27% drop in Republican support for school vaccine requirements from 2016-2025.

● This Isn’t An Accident If it feels like every day there is a new story about a Black woman dying or being deprived of MATERNITY CARE, it’s because this is the system anti-abortion politicians have been creating. This isn’t a coincidence, this is their fucked up agenda & it’s taking lives daily.

● The Result? Tragedy Weeks later, her 14-year-old son found her lifeless. Preeclampsia, a PREVENTABLE death if medical care had been allowed, claimed her life. Texas’ abortion ban didn’t protect her. It forced her to suffer and die. Tierra Walker deserved medical care, compassion, and a choice.

More than 90 doctors touched her file, and not one offered the option that could have saved her life: an ABORTION.

● Tierra Walker WANTED To Live. In Texas, a 37-year-old devoted mom asked doctors for an abortion. She was high-risk for preeclampsia, 20 weeks pregnant, and pleading for help to end her pregnancy. But the state’s total abortion ban said no. buff.ly/q0imwvO

Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families." Treat Trump like an unhinged menace. He's weak and in deep political trouble. Don't let up.

The left has a problem with political violence. Anyway, here’s the President of the United States saying his political opponents should be executed.

I’ve been saying this for ages: These folks are doomed to be permanently angry because they’re angry about aspects of the culture that policy ultimately can’t change. They’re seeking political power as a consolation prize for lack of cultural power, and will always be dissatisfied.

The Department of Education is proposing a definition that could strip nurse practitioners and CRNAs of “professional degree” status. Chiropractors keep it. Nurses risk losing it. And that change would fall hardest on women in healthcare. This is political and it is sexist.

I feel like we're going to learn that Trump is happy to share intel on American residents for the tidy sum of $2B.

Josh really doesn't get enough credit as a digital journalism pioneer — and as an entrepreneur who built something meaningful and lasting.
