Reminder: Neither Whiskey Pete nor Trump have the authority to change the name of a department created by Congress. It's still "Department of Defense" and his title is "Secretary of Defense", not "War". He doesn't need your help to change all the signs and paperwork.

Allllrighty so the Coast Guard swastika situation. Buckle up for a thread. Yesterday it broke in the news that a USCG policy was being updated and that swastikas and nooses were no longer classified as hate symbols.

“U.S. District Judge (ruled) that the federal government’s deployment of National Guard troops to the District is illegal.” www.popville.com/2025/11/u-s-...

US threatens Ukraine if it doesn't agree within 2 weeks to cede invaded territory and give up on joining NATO. A criminal sellout of Ukraine by Putin's Pet and his enablers. This needs to be bigger news. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

The Guardian reports that the U.S. plan incl several lines that were certainly drafted in RU before being translated. In EN they sound unnatural and out of place. Example, 3rd point: “Russia is expected not to invade neighbouring countries, and NATO is expected not to expand further.”

None of this is acceptable to European strategic defence, let alone to the Ukrainians! It is a plan to create a weakened Ukraine, ready to be turned into a satellite state, like Belarus, that can be used as a launch pad for a Russian invasion of NATO countries.

Jeffries: I think Rick Scott has some history with medicaid fraud in the state of Florida. So he's no expert on health care. We ain't going to be lectured by Rick Scott about anything, but certainly not affordable health care.

More Caesar the No Drama, Anti-Fascist Llama is the best character at Portland ICE protests! #iceout #portland

71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data. Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.” As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.

Yesterday's outage at Cloudflare is the latest in a string of internet outages. It's past time to crack down on anticompetitive behavior that forces us to depend on a tiny handful of tech giants. We should not be held hostage by the failures of a few dominant companies.

one of the two most disturbing presidential calls he reviewed on the National Security Council wasn’t just the infamous Zelenskyy call. No, this one involved Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the implications are horrifying.

Thank you

Just when you think the Trump circus can’t get any darker, it does. Rep. Eugene Vindman one of the few voices in Washington still capable of moral clarity went to the House floor last night and dropped a bomb:

Definitely a bad day at Cloudflare

sounds like cloudflare went down trying to protect us from bots/crawlers, so I now assign blame to the AI industrial complex

I've seen a lot of posts focusing on the specific issues that caused the recent Cloudflare incident, but no discourse about how these companies are being run. We've known how to build completely reliable computer systems for decades. When things fall apart, it's not […] [Original post on mas.to]

I had to look up important guidelines for my sick patients overnight but cloudflare broke moment. Imagine my utter groans and moans as I scour the entire wards for hard copies of said hardcopies. Its kinda dangerous ngl, maybe the Internet shouldn't be so centralised.

Happy Cloudflare Outage-mas! It’s one of our favorite holidays over here on Bluesky. On this day, we should remind you that almost 20% of the internet uses Cloudflare, despite years of reporting covering their platforming of white supremacists. Maybe it shouldn’t have such a large market share?

You don't often see this at the end of a whistleblower story:

Listen… Mike Johnson can claim he never tried to stop this, but the timeline tells the truth. If he wasn’t trying to bury this petition, we wouldn’t have spent weeks begging him to do the bare minimum. Release the files.

JUST IN: A federal judge has thrown out DOJ’s lawsuit to compel NY to aid in immigration arrests at state courthouses. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Somehow I'm sure DOGE is responsible for this. You know, the efficiency experts?

I can usually translate him, but either I’m losing my mind, or he is.

This is good news. The ICE agent is arrested on state charges, so the Convicted FElon & the Regime can't do anything to stop this. They can try but it will be illegal. ktla.com/news/local-n...

Kristi Noem is mad that protesters are blowing whistles at ICE agents.

I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.

A song to boost the spirits of resisters. youtu.be/dWUa7aAIfLE?...

It's just too much. Too. Freaking. Much. Every day another scandal that, in normal times, would be career-ending on its own, but it's just another day in TrumpWorld. www.npr.org/2025/11/17/g...

Your daily reminder that the fossil fuel industry is propped up by billions of dollars in U.S. government subsidies and a multimillion dollar campaign to spread climate disinformation. 💵

So let it be written, so let it be done. So sayeth the lord...

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Meanwhile, back on earth. #ClimateChange is one of my biggest reasons for getting rid of #Trump www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Trumps game was to open another investigation so that the DOJ could hand pick what, if anything, will be released during that investigation! Ongoing investigations have rules about information sharing. Bondi is his biggest brown-nosing sycophant!

This SHIT needs to STOP!

Coons on Epstein files: "My hunch is that AG Bondi, having just been ordered on social media by the president to open an investigation into a series of high-profile Dems, will promptly say, 'No, there's an ongoing investigation, we can't disclose any of this,' and the president will back that up."

Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet. It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition. (1/2)

ICEstapo detained 81 people in Charlotte, NC yesterday. The internet is littered with videos of them using excessive force and ignoring legal documentation provided by the detainees. Here’s my advice for ICEstapo: Take a night off. Go to the movies. Watch “Nuremberg”. Your time is coming.

This is a statement I received from a Epstein survivor who is a Jane Doe. Share it widely.

The House of Representatives has been on vacation for 2 months, the government was shut down for the longest period ever. Now you change your tune when you find out half of the Republicans will vote against you. You are a dumb ass.
