BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.

Seeing a few comments about “dead rapists bringing down living rapists”. Let’s be clear. It’s not Epstein that has Trump and MAGA on the defensive. It’s not Epstein that had a former Prince stripped of his title. It’s the survivors of Epstein’s abuse. It’s the women who refused to be silent.

every woman acutely understands this face.

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

There will be a name for this era in American history. It will not be a flattering one. They can't even call it the Second Gilded Age because all those gold gewgaws are probably spray-painted. The Krylon Gold Foil age? www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Gov. Pritzker: “All I can say is that whether it was the loss in the elections a week ago that's led to Donald Trump deciding to pull CBP out or the fact that Greg Bovino is a snowflake…Whatever it is, the people of Chicago have deserved better than having CBP and Greg Bovino in this city.”

Glad this story is finally public but also incredible that it is taking media so long to dig up what is essentially open knowledge in these communities rn.

The best thing to have is enough.

The more war crimes the US commits, the less cooperation the US will get from allies.

Yeah but he just doesn't have the "it" factor that Trump has, and he has a family that Nazis would've gassed. So I don't think he's going to be able to rally the MAGA troops around himself.

Hopefully they used 3M Command Strips so that these gaudy gewgaws can be removed as soon as Trump is out, which may not be too long from now.

@support.bsky.team Seriously? If your AI model allows any random person to suspend an author like her, it clearly needs more training to weed out the bad actors who use systems like this to silence people. You can do better. Bring her back now.

Facial recognition technology has come a long way. A mask and hat is not enough to obscure a person's identity from the algorithms. We will be able to find this person and charge him for the crime he is committing in this photograph.

This is what it's like for *everyone* in Canada. In the US, the three levels of government spend more taxpayer money ($US 7,350/person) to provide healthcare to less than half the population than Canada does ($6,700) to cover everyone in the country. And Canada gets better results. ⸤1109d⸥

I'd like for someone in the dem caucus to tell us which senators were real no votes and which ones voted no because they were allowed to.

About the only good that can come of this is for the US healthcare system to actually collapse so that we can finally replace it with something better. But for that to happen, the GOP has to collapse. Caving into them isn’t the way to make that happen. This was an Own Goal. Schumer needs to go.

The answer Sen, Shaheen is that since America elected the Black man to be president, the official position of the Republican Party is “not to work together with Democrats to address the problems that are facing this country.”

People were donating to food banks in communities across the country. Many SNAP recipients who were struggling felt the momentum. They too need healthcare & many didn't want us to cave. 7M of us didn't march to cave. We didn't win every election last week to cave. Shame on the cavers. Vote them out.

Governor Gavin Newsom on Twitter a few moments ago Regarding Democrat Senators who caved Agree with you Governor 💯

This may piss me off more than everything else. If they all decided that this was the only path forward, they should all be out there making the case. Instead they’re playing us for fools and now I don’t trust any of them.

The Cave Caucus could’ve just given Trump everything he wanted from the start and millions of federal workers wouldn’t have missed paychecks, SNAP beneficiaries wouldn’t have been scrounging for food, travelers wouldn’t be stranded. They just wasted everyone’s time and made shit worse for everyone

THESE are the Americans that the Senate Democrats were supposed to be fighting for.

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

They forget that Jesus was a refugee Himself. His family was forced to flee to Egypt because King Herod was actively seeking him to kill him.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

I’m thinking that Democrats don’t need to learn any lessons from a paper that has been taken over by an oligarch hostile to democratic values.

He’s too ill to go and they know it. He barely held it together in Asia. Their goal is to get him through 2026 so that Vance can run for two full terms. I think he’s made his last trip outside the country, and we will be seeing less and less of him.

Similarly, if you have an unusual build, your choice will be made for you: ready-to-wear won't fit, so you have to use a custom tailor like Whitcomb & Shaftsbury. However, most of us are somewhere in the middle of these worlds.

OPINION: When he says he “hopes” his Hindu wife becomes Christian, he repeats a cultural script that regards difference as something to be merely tolerated, not embraced. religionnews.com/2025/11/03/w...

every sunday, from pulpits in megachurches across america, white evangelicals cry out about some imaginary persecution of christianity. but i can’t stop thinking about the pile of rosaries collected by a janitor at a border crossing or the priest turned away at the gates of the detention camp.

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

“ ‘What strength do I have to match their vehicles, their weapons, their impunity,’ they asked. Then, Olly reminded me of my own words: ‘What we have is each other and our will to remake the world.’”

Tech people think we want AI, robots, and a colony on Mars but what I actually want is a home printer that simply works.

Yes! LLMs are cognitive outsourcing, no one can tell me any different. And those who think we can't tell they used it... We can, and we're judging them for it.

My guess is that they are afraid the guards may call their work into question, if they see that others are praying for the detainees. It’s one thing to ignore protest signs but quite another to ignore God.

Watson himself created the myth that the key step to the DNA structure was appropriating Rosalind Franklin’s work (which certainly was important). She has become an icon of science and a symbol of women discrimination largely because of him, ironically. History is strange.

My ask of any science enthusiasts who tell the story of Rosalind Franklin: Don't make her life be about the DNA debacle. She died far too young, but she was a promising scientist in her own right, a mentor and scientific author. Not for Watson or Crick, but for her legacy.

This seems right to me

The GOP already struggles with Trump not on the ballot. The way this is going, it could be a bloodbath for Republicans in 2026. There is no way to explain this that makes the Democrats look bad. This is all 100% on the GOP. And the Red States are the ones bearing the brunt of this.

There are good tipping points as well as bad ones in climate science. The exponential growth of renewable energy is one of the good tipping points, and it's still accelerating.

Access to the sacraments is the tip of the iceberg. They won't allow clergy access bc they aren't running a proper detention facility. The scandal that religious protests are highlighting is not that the detainees' religious rights are being violated, but that ALL their rights are being violated.
