I'm persona non grata at CNN, a place that used to have me as a commentator, but Katie Miller, the fragile, racist wife of the fragile, racist Stephen Miller, has an open invitation. I wonder why. Hmmm. Guesses?

Yes, who is more likely to regard the sacrifice of people as abhorrent than those who follow a religion centered on celebrating the sacrifice of a person?

“[Binance founder was] profiting from countless scams and crimes — helping ransomware hackers and child abuse sites handle payments, for example — and enabling financial transactions and money laundering for sanctioned entities like the Islamic State, Al Qaeda and North Korea… Trump pardoned [him].”

So the same guy who’s blowing up boats in international waters wants to pardon a major drug kingpin?

America Abroad: Just as lawless.

THANKFUL AND FIRED UP Grateful for my team, friends, family, and the incredible support from across the state and country. Starting tomorrow, we've got phonebanking and canvassing every day, including a statewide Day of Action on Saturday! SIGN UP: www.mobilize.us/afty...

A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.” It’s almost as if there were signs!

There are no terse excuses for moral cowardice, gullibility, and breach of fiduciary duty.

>1M US workers laid off so far in 2025 (Challenger Gray placement services for laid off workers)…noting “serious possibility”of full recession…as I have been forecasting for months The ballot box is the only path outta this mess…focus on voting rights! Then reach out to the 89M who didn’t vote!🤜🤛

👀 when it comes to "harassment" and student protest, northwestern has given the trump administration what appears to be a veto over changes in policy: "Northwestern shall not revise or modify these policies and procedures without the consent of the Assistant Attorney General". horrible.

Congress, damn it get off your asses... fuck the Thanksgiving weekend get back to work and impeach this bastard

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:

AUTOPENS HAVE BEEN USED FOR GENERATIONS, Trump himself has used it frequently, and is LYING, as usual, about Biden using auto-pen illegally. This is 100% ILLEGAL, UNCONSTITUTIONAL and MUST be over-turned. We'll see how incredibly corrupt SCOTUS is once again if they DON'T reverse Trump's Autocracy!!

Wait Henry Bienen is interim president? He was president when I was an undergrad. He must be 100 years old.

#ResistanceUnited Bernie Moreno tried to bully a venture capital firm into keeping a dying plant open. He should have known it wouldn't work: He made a fortune off venture capital and voted for tax cuts for the wealthy that perpetuate this activity. If a Repub promises a quick fix, they're lying.

According to her former boyfriend, National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom—who died after the D.C. attack—believed her deployment to Washington was 'pointless.'

a lot of words, none of them denying that Hegseth gave an order to kill helpless people who were stranded at sea after he blew up their boats

Sub 30s by Christmas?

Nigel definitely not meeting the Russian ambassador

ahem ... bsky.app/profile/heid...

You've heard of the Friday night news dump. Here's the Friday night of Thanksgiving wknd dump. For special circumstances, like when the faculty assembly votes 595-4 against paying to end a shakedown and you do it anyway. Link to agreement here: bulkmail.northwestern.edu/trk/click?re...

Taco n his Cult sure get the shooter info quick, but yet r moving like molasses Releasing the Epstein Files. N, Taco’s narrative of the shooting already starting to unravel. The families of the servicemen who died should lawyer up n demand answers! #arresttrump

Whoa 😳

There are definite reasons to remind all in the military about following unconstitutional orders. Wonder what the members of SEALTeam 6 are thinking about reenlisting….

Lame Duck Trump is preparing to wag the dog so he can declare martial law and suspend elections and other constitutional rights.

Trump's ideal plan for the new East Wing.

You're not seeing the defense and international conflict experts disagreeing because if the facts are true, it's one of the most basic things in the law of armed conflict: You cannot kill people who are "hors de combat," taken out of the game by injury or attack. This is Geneva 101 stuff.

So I guess we eventually get to cancel his Autopen pardons — ones we know he did not manually sign— like the 1600+ for the J6ers? Never mind Autopen — we see at EO ceremonies that Dementia Don doesn't know what the F he's *manually signing*. (Note delusional AI post by Grandpa Chaos on the R.)

They really are just incapable of the most basic decency, reveling in their awfulness

That AND, I suspect, people who admire Trump’s getting away with cheating of all kinds & either already do similar things themselves or WANT to do it, or already do similar things and want to be able to bribe their way out of legal trouble if they get caught. Plus, want tax breaks & deregulation.

A reminder that the current SECDEF caught the eye of the president by championing the pardoning of American war criminals — men whose own units testified against them, and who were convicted by military juries He should never have been nominated for, let alone confirmed in, this job

I'm a lawyer who fights for democracy who built Democracy Docket from scratch because we need independent pro-democracy media. For $10 a month you can help it do its vital work. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

A note on SaneWashing: I read part of this post to family (all liberal Democrats who consume a lot of news, but not social media), and it blew their mind. They all thought it was parody: if Corporate Media did not SaneWash, it would shock US, his approval would plummet from low (30s) to lower(20s).

Northwestern University's law school is named after the Pritzkers. @jbpritzker.bsky.social you going to do anything about this?

We’ve known all along this Venezuelan drug boat story was all bullshit. We don’t know if those are drug boats and it’s completely unlikely they were making a 1,400 mile trip to the United States. But here’s what is true, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. #DefendersOfDemocracy

Same old shit…

He’s going to fight drug trafficking by pardoning them? Trump announced “a Full and Complete Pardon” for former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, who was found guilty by an American jury last year of conspiring to import cocaine into the US.

As I said bsky.app/profile/bake...

I guess it’s clear why the lawmakers needed to make that video

For those who don’t know, Trump can rescind any executive order because he’s the executive. He doesn’t need a phony excuse. He doesn’t need any excuse. What he’s building up to is declaring everything Biden sign invalid, including laws passed by the Congress.

In case you thought you were safe bc you aren't one of his currently identified enemies to kidnap and deport, take a look at this line: "and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country..." No one is safe when a bully is in charge.

Does Pete Hegseth have a "golden shield" against prosecution in the form of a DOJ OLC opinion? Ed Whelan thinks not.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes. If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Murder is the right word.

they are FIENDING for our money rn Ludacris just posted an AI advertisement to his IG promoting AI bots that "fix" mistakes from other AI bots, so we're pretty cooked

Says the guy who auto-penned nearly 1600 pardons for January 6
