I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

How does this guy still have a job - imagine being the parent of one of the undergraduates in his fall course right now. Or being one of the female undergrads. Disgusting.

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.

I can’t wait to see Cuomo’s concession speech and then to never see or hear him again

Letting people go hungry in this shutdown is a choice Trump is intentionally making.   He could tell the USDA to use contingency funds to ensure families get their SNAP benefits on November 1st, he’s just choosing not to.

Guys don't dick around, give money to Feeding America to help support people getting to eat. They have a great track record of donations going TOWARD FOOD. They can stretch your dollar further. They are everywhere in the US. I've been donating there about 15 years. www.feedingamerica.org

I think the way Cuomo kept waving his hands and saying “TikTok” was a very effective debate strategy

🔥🔥🔥

Maybe this is my American bias at work but it’s hard not to read this speech as a simultaneous rebuke of Trump Live Updates: María Corina Machado Is Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

WTF with this headline, this whole essay, and then the way this guy essentially grants a pass for firing Gen Brown That Hegseth Speech Was Actually Pretty Good www.nytimes.com/2025/10/07/o...

Please join me in congratulating Woman on her appointment

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.

Controlling the media is one of the items on the authoritarian checklist; this includes not just hard news, and increasingly social media, but also threatening satirists who mock the regime. The FCC is pushing this control, but corporations do not have to fold. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

I see and I hear and I speak no evil; I carry no malice within my breast; yet quite without wishing a man to the Devil one may be permitted to hope for the best. -“An Ethical Grook” by Piet Hein

Waking up to this speculation is the best time I’ve had here since Blue Sky started. We needed this, let’s just enjoy it, you’re all doing A+ work.

Never in my life will in comprehend why the Access Hollywood tape wasn’t the end for him. Almost 10 years of being deeply embarrassed for this country every day.

this stuff is such a disgrace. a free citizen of a free country should be ashamed to engage in it.

"If I were king, I would not allow people to go about burning the American flag. However, we have a First Amendment, which says that the right of free speech shall not be abridged. And it is addressed, in particular, to speech critical of the government." --Antonin friggin' Scalia

Yes, this, this! Why aren’t newspapers amplifying the awful truth we all see, every day? It’s like a laundry list of facts as if they’re not an absolute horror show

Thinking about the millions of QAnon followers who spun elaborate papedophile conspiracies from emails about pizza. All now strangely silent as a blackmail op so brazen it would be cut from a Verhoeven movie takes place between the American president and the world's most famous child sex trafficker.

You guys, Gerry Howard is here and nobody told me?

As the dissents point out, the majority constantly contradicts its own recent decisions to fit the result they want. Ie: a HS football coach leading a Christian prayer does not violate other students religious rights, but a storybook with LGBT characters does. On some level they must know this.

Check out these baddies waging a psyops campaign outside the hotel where ICE agents were *trying* to sleep. Mariachi for the win!! 💃

My mom just got her @latimes.com bill: $272 for eight weeks’ delivery 🤯🤯🤯 Surely some mistake, I thought. But no! I’m all for paying for journalism (source of my most popular post here [v low bar]) but are they actively trying to just kill print?

sorry, it’s actually very funny that he’s trying to come up with a long list of features for … poles. Do the flags go both up *and* down?

This is brilliant and good

Misspelled “be prosecuted”

We make jokes about this sometimes because it’s laughable. But when journalists try to make sense of the nonsensical, rational out of the irrational, and coherence out of the incoherence, they affirmatively do the public interest great harm.

Maybe that’s because he’s had a few other things to deal with since <checks notes> last Friday?

Pritzker continues to, by all appearances, 100% know what time it is.

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality. Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

i just googled "even ironic use of generative ai harms the planet meaning" and you would NOT believe what it came up with!!

Turns out the government was doing a bunch of great stuff with my money and I keep learning about those things because the republicans are killing all those programs.
