Oaxacan napkins, a Koala beanie from Australia, skincare from Korea – these are the expert picks locals are gifting each other.

Mother Jones lost her entire family to yellow fever, then her business in the #GreatChicagoFire. Instead of succumbing to trauma, she led multiple movements of people proclaiming, "Pray for the dead, fight like hell for the living" Learn from @hcrichardson.bsky.social youtu.be/FT0kootLdfg?...

In their confirmation hearings, RFK Jr pledged he would not be anti-vax, Hegseth said he respected women serving in leadership positions in the military, and Bondi said she would not weaponize DOJ against Trump’s political enemies.

#Pinks #ProudBlue Child Separation is in full swing. Where are these kids actually being taken and what’s going to happen to them? There is no oversight or accountability. What’s happening to the children?!?! www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

When you move from Flint to Oregon and see this happen, I hope you quickly speak up.

Remind you of anything?

Their racism has no bounds.

I want to take a second during this break in Temu ACIP to point out that legitimate scientific committees consider the entire body of published studies when making recommendations. What you are going to see today instead is chronic overinterpretation of single studies, usually of poor quality.

Fuuuuuucccckkkkk In Ireland airspace! Russia is at war with Europe

Under Trump’s leadership, electricity costs are going up nationwide. 17% in North Carolina. 15% in Georgia. 13% in Pennsylvania. 12% in Michigan. And Republicans are doing nothing about it.

Today’s Moon Phase: December 4, 2025

Snowy way home. You can feel the silence.

Very "interesting."

It's the fentanyl that is taking our children (of all ages). That's what I hear around the country from parents. It makes me think that Venezuela is about oil.

Certainly the pardon process has changed.

Melania Trump currently holds and has held dual citizenship with both the United States and Slovenia since becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2006.

This

The deep state swamp is becoming alarming overt in their sliminess.

Very disturbing. Our elected officials selected and Congress approved this leadership of our military?

Tom Nichols is right. It's way past time for the 25th Amendment.

Or is he just humbly enjoying the praise without reacting. Impossible to tell with 47.

Priorities.

"The 200-person community of Churchville, Virginia, is grappling with the loss of its health clinic. Augusta Medical Group cited the health care provisions in Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, for closing the rural clinics in Churchville and two other locations..." www.cnn.com/2025/11/30/p...

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now. Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers. Shameful.

Will the Congressional Armed Forces Committees lead Senators and Representatives out of their MAGA coma?

The king's fantasies continue.

That's what I remember. Various bases/posts received and didn't release until vetted-unless the process broke down or was ignored.

This Shouldn't be happening in the greatest Country in the world Every American SHOULD HAVE Decent Affordable Healthcare. . . And now losing subsidies will make this number skyrocket and many will die Please call your Senators and Congressional Representatives 202 224-3121

People often ask why Democrats don’t have something like TurningPoint USA — we do. It’s Voters of Tomorrow. We’re on campuses across the country, organizing over 10,000 Gen Z members to engage our generation. Can you chip in before midnight to help us win? 👇 secure.actblue.com/donate/votho...

Thanks for squeezing one in after a holiday we all needed.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Unbelievable that today's media talking heads are employed. Look at the media owners: ultra wealthy, small group. They imprint a new era of denialism.

Exhibit 926 in criminal contempt proceedings. Noem’s declaration is due Friday to Judge Boasberg.

“In nearly all of the examples Judge Ellis cited in her 200-plus page opinion, she says the Department of Homeland Security narrative contradicts the reality of what can be seen on agents' body-worn cameras.” abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

A few corporations paying executives more than they pay in taxes.

#ResistanceRoots Frederick Douglas Reese was born on this day in 1929 in Selma, Ala. A civil rights activist, educator and minister, he earned the nickname “Mr. Voting Rights” for his persistent nonviolent efforts and leadership that helped spur the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. /1

Stopping the Ukrainian war.

Imagining VP Harris speaking to soldiers about enjoying turkey the way VP Vance did.

Buying local

Unbelievable. Very few things piss me off more than anti-vax morons killing their children.

I repeat, RFK Jr doesn’t have to say “I’m banning vaccines” to effectively ban vaccines. Exhibit umpteen hundred and sixteen (this happened the same day they appointed the anti-vaxxing snake-oil salesman above as deputy CDC head):

The MO of a man who grasps for attention during holidays.

Thanks for sharing this blue sky at daybreak on Blue Sky!

Definitely plan to in the next couple of years. Seriously, thanks for reminding me! Happy Thanksgiving.

Certainly throwing sub sandwiches at Federal Officers is on the rise during this Administration.
