We are ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL thinking it.

Exclusive: A year after Tenet Media was busted for funneling Russian money to MAGA pundits like Benny Johnson and Tim Pool, a Trump administration effort involving State and the FBI has welcomed Tenet's founders back into the US. @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/lauren-che...

Jerome Powell revealed that staffers at the Fed think the government could be overestimating the number of jobs created by 60,000 each month. The true numbers could be closer to a loss of 20,000 jobs a month. trib.al/3m2ZShR

Alabama officials cut off funding for a public library that refused to bar access to the "The Handmaid's Tale" and other books they deemed sexually explicit to anyone under 18. Thankfully, @everylibrary.bsky.social has stepped up to provide funding to allow the library to remain open for now.

NEW: When Propecy Fails is one of the most famous social psychology books of all time, a look at a small group of UFO believers when the “spacemen” failed to land. I wrote about a new study from an independent researcher who says the book is not what it seems. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas are standing up to corporate greed and Starbucks’ unfair labor practices and demanding the fair contract they deserve. No contract? NO COFFEE!

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

They drugged him, suffocated him, sawed him into pieces, and took him away in suitcases and bags. Just don't think we should let any one of those details slide.

Jamal Khashoggi was unavailable for comment.

If it's a terrible slogan, why did I wake up singing it 47 years later?!

"ProPublica’s reporting debunks the idea of a ’Tren de Aragua complex' taken over by a horde of terrorists. We found no criminal convictions for 18 of the 21 Venezuelans we identified. Three of the men had been charged with offenses ... but in each case the charges were dropped."

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends. It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

We have a stunning story from @thomasbirm.bsky.social in @thenation.com. It's about how one of Israel's biggest companies, with deep ties to the IDF and illegal settlements, is taking over huge swathes of US real estate—with tenants paying the price. A MUST-read. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

lol, my flight was canceled. all of this inconvenience so that the dems could cave anyway

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work." The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting. And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Making fun of our neighborhoods and communities is disgusting. Greg Bovino and his masked agents are not here to make Chicago safer. As children are tear gassed and U.S. citizens detained, they are posing for photo ops and producing reality TV moments. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/10/b...

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

In the marketplace of ideas, you’re a Dollar General with a going out of business sign.

Fight For What You Actually Want remains the savviest political strategy even though it is the least embraced by the people who consider themselves the most savvy. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/do-what-yo...

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com

Former Miss Hawaii Cheryl Bartlett is legally blind and depends on her husband Rogerio Araujo, a native of Brazil, for her care. They've struggled for 17 years to get US citizenship for him, and he was recently kidnapped by ICE and faces deportation.

I met her once, she was kind and funny and wonderfully eccentric. We ended up taking a yoga class together. She fell asleep during corpse pose and after she woke up, announced “I went to dreamland!”

Dick Cheney departs the world he made: defector.com/dick-cheney-...

it's clear reading this @rtraister.bsky.social piece how little the Democratic Party thinks it erred in running Joe Biden at his age Also this memorable quote: "Many can’t imagine doing anything in which they won’t be heavily staffed and relevant all the time.” nymag.com/intelligence...

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

"If the person is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter." --Brett Kavanaugh, Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/03/c...

Over and over, these amazing protesters are more interesting and brave than the free speech comedians who've been yammering on for years about this very thing being the ultimate consequence of them not being able to say the r word.

NEW: you can't refuse to be scanned by ICE's new facial recognition app, according to internal DHS document 404 Media obtained. Photos taken by the app are stored for 15 years, including of U.S. citizens. We've published the full document here: www.404media.co/you-cant-ref...

For New Yorkers who work the night shift, it can be nearly impossible to participate in political life of our city. So tonight we’re bringing this campaign to them — starting with taxi drivers waiting at LaGuardia.

I wanted to offer some thoughts on the Gates climate memo that has been circulating this week. While I can't directly speak for others, I can say that my own response is one of dismay & deep frustration (and that this view is shared by many climate/Earth scientists). [1/n]

I wrote a column about Andrew Cuomo: www.elizabethspiers.com/andrew-cuomo...

The world is deeply unserious about dealing with climate change. We need to reduce emissions by 50% in 5 years and we're nowhere near that.

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

A Naperville man was hauled away by federal immigration agents Thursday morning as his two sons watched, the older boy begging them not to hurt his father and tearfully asking for a chance to speak to him before they left.
