Oklahoma students! Is your GPA lower than you think you deserve? Well, good news! According to this precedent, the governor of your state will now personally intercede in your every grade dispute on any assignment. Finals are looming, so feel free to stuff his inbox! Operators are standing by!

Pastor Jorge Bautista was telling a Border Patrol agent "we come in peace" when the agent fired toxic powder at him, leaving him struggling to breathe. “No one should be assaulted for being out there protesting,” he says. With @frontlinepbs.bsky.social

So.....today Indiana Republicans proposed a 9-0 redistricting map to eliminate both of the state's Democratic districts, gave the public less than 24 hrs notice of the hearing at 9am tomorrow AND included a deeply bizarre provision trying to restrict legal challenges to the map

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.

A new post by a Republican state Senator in Indiana, saying she will "not cave" on redistricting as she shares that she was just the target of a pipe bomb threat to due "DC political pundits."

Trump refuses to directly admit his administration granted the DC shooter asylum and then wraps up the press availability

Saw a Komondor on the dog show on TV. It looks like it could hit you from 900 yards.

thanksgiving is a time for people to come together, to celebrate the spirit of unity despite our differences, and to demonstrate that, here is busta rhymes performing "break ya neck" with raphael the ninja turtle

Oh so you're one of those people.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes: 1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia. 2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea. 3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

First Secretary of Defense you could defeat by painting a tunnel on the side of a boulder.

Immigrants make up a significant proportion of all the country's doctors. New policies are making it harder and less appealing for foreign-born physicians to come to the U.S.

1/ THREAD: This year ICE has sent a record 600 immigrant kids into federal shelters, more than in the previous four years combined. Data suggests some are being separated from their families. For one 15-year-old, it began with a cracked windshield 👇

This is horrible news. www.oudaily.com/news/ou-prof...

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand. The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

Always loved weather. Called as a kid to complain about a missed warning and they said if I thought I could do it better go to school and sit in my chair.

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based. Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick. Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

The federal government is faking evidence in major criminal cases and then lying when caught. In addition to that they are destroying evidence of their crimes against humanity and the population.

The district courtroom really is one of the last spaces left in American public life where there’s a serious possibility that a strategy built on the denial of reality just won‘t fly.

Hurricane Melissa produced the fastest hurricane winds to be recorded by a dropsonde, verified by reviewing data at NSF NCAR! Hurricane Melissa’s 252 mph wind gust surpassed the previous record from Typhoon Megi over the Western Pacific in 2010, where a dropsonde measured wind gusts of 248 mph.

I don't think it's going to take twenty years, almost every sports fan I know is trending towards drafting a constitutional amendment for prohibition because of how incessant they are

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived. (Published October)

8 months ago I had a vision: what if we had a unified, track-based dataset of all severe events? Still a lot of improvements I can make to the algorithm itself, but otherwise, looks like we have one now. I can't wait to see what we can do with this 👀

Apparent UPS plane crash. Radar picking up the smoke plume.

Trump says the SNAP money that he’s been ordered by a court to release won’t be released until the government shutdown ends.

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest. The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says. "I could smell the onions and mustard."

the one part of this awful video I found inspiring is the moment when the cam pans back and you see an array of upstanding Americans with their smartphones out filming these gutter thugs. that's really the symbol of the opposition. the smartphone and its embedded video cam.

They literally ruin everything they touch

I want to acknowledge that the hurricane hunters have been working relentlessly and in dangerous conditions - *without pay* - to do their best to help other countries (in this case). I wish some in our federal government had half the dedication to public good and fellow humans.

This is a real thing that a judge had to say to the Chief of US Customs and Border Protection.

Holy shit
