On 11/13/74, union activist and nuclear whistleblower Karen Silkwood left a union meeting with evidence of safety violations at the Kerr-McGee plutonium plant. She died before meeting a NYT reporter. The crash was labeled an accident. The crucial documents she had disappeared. #VoicesFromHistory

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

#Missouri, please note: Hate does *not* make us great. It makes us poorer. Diversity, Equity & Inclusion would make us, if not great, at least better ... also more interesting and fun to be around.

"Why do so many Americans live in poverty? Because so many rich people benefit from it. This is the thesis of the lauded sociologist Matthew Desmond’s new book, Poverty, by America."

Two things: 1. I hope you’re not having a “wonderful” day. I hope you are seething…the red hot kind of seething. 2. I hope you choose to channel that into constructive action; the kind that puts a great deal of distance between you…and thoughts of “what’s the use?!”

FFS @schumer.senate.gov, your team got played so hard, even I am embarrassed for you. Not only were you so anxious to get this empty deal arranged that you sacrificed all semblance of principle; you didn't check the final draft for undisclosed changes? While dealing with MAGA-GOP? Find a way out!

can someone ask sen hassan if people can pay for healthcare with the moral high ground

Dear Senate Dems, Republicans don’t keep their promises…

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.

1) I did not put the turkey in the wagon. 2) I did not put the wagon in the free-throw lane of the basketball court. I just pushed a button on the camera. (Although certain liberties were taken after the fact.) Questions? Contact my attorney. 9 November 2025 #MartinCity, #Missouri

This is HORRIFYING‼️

I distinctly remember the moment we heard the news that their plane went down. I was working at Sun Newspapers at the time and our typically loud, rowdy newsroom went silent. The best way to keep Paul’s legacy alive is by creating policy that recognizes “we all do better when we all do better.”

Airports should hire stand up comedians to work at TSA lines: “Hey, buddy, cargo pants are now considered a carry-on item. I’m kidding. I’ll be here all week. The way this line is moving, so will you.”

Rogers Hornsby had the reputation of a great player who wasn’t a good manager, but in 1926, while managing the Cardinals, he made two great deals that brought them the team’s first championship. @ibwaa.bsky.social

Obama Assassination Plot Linked To Trump in New Report open.substack.com/pub/samuelwy...

The Trump administration’s military strikes on alleged drug boats are “blatantly unlawful as a matter of U.S. domestic law—and a quickly spreading stain on whatever is left of the executive branch’s commitment to the rule of law.” Me on “extrajudicial killings” in the latest issue of “One First”:

Following @joenewberry.bsky.social is a highly recommended thing to do.

"There were at least 581 lynchings in Mississippi from 1882 through 1968 ... Nearly all the victims were Black. Tree hangings were frequently used to send a message of terror to the Black community."

"These books were not so significant because of the information they contained, but ... the bridge they formed with my old self, the one who existed before Israel's genocide."

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

I'm crying. But they're happy tears. 😂🤣😂

Love this.

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.
