No-strings-attached, zero-means-testing, no-questions-asked cash payouts have been proven, over and over again, to be the most effective form of charity/aid going. It gets people in housing, and it saves the state money. We know this. It's fact, not theory.

You know who really “hates Nashville”? The Republicans who did this to the city to steal their representation, while refusing to have a single town hall there ever. (cc: Speaker Sexton, @SenJohnson @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn @AndyOgles @RepJohnRose @MattForTN @RepMarkGreen @SenatorHagerty )

The one good billionaire being the lady who got divorced tells us so much about everything really

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

President Hernandez was responsible for smuggling 500 TONS of cocaine into the United States! He was the top dog; the Pablo Escobar figure! He wasn’t just “selling drugs in that country.”

GEORGIA: Rodney Taylor, a double amputee barber here his whole life was 2 days away from getting new legs when Trump’s ICE goons grabbed him. He has been held almost a year, facing deportation to Liberia. What are we doing? www.thenation.com/article/poli...

This interview with Any Lucia Belloza is heartbreaking but everyone should read it. These are the lives our country is destroying. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...

guys do I watch heated rivalry or do I allow it to only exist as it does in my memories, in my own head. seriously stressed about this

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

Next Tuesday, 12/2: —Dems are going for an upset in Tennessee, —Dems also trying to flip two cities in the Atlanta suburbs, —DSA vs Dem establishment battles for Atlanta officesc —and ideological battles within Dem factions in Jersey City. It’s a lot! In my guide: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

They didn’t even try to name it something less obvious lmao

Starting January 1st, California will mandate that any use of AI-altered real estate photos in listings be disclosed, and that a link to the unaltered image be included. It will be a criminal offense to fail to make this disclosure.

This is so incredible. You have to see the photos. These workers held the line for THREE YEARS www.publicsource.org/post-gazette...

“we need to be nicer to men” bro they didn’t let women have their own credit cards til 50 years ago

I tried to sell a romance last year that largely dealt with Covid grief (by the two MCs making a comic together about it). It died on sub. I do hope to self-pub it one day, just don’t know when that will be.

Israel cannot break ceasefires, they can only “test“ them by killing dozens of people

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait. My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

An American elected official with courage enough to say this in the Oval Office is quietly the biggest news out of the meeting

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

hard agree

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..." Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night: www.propublica.org/article/chic...

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected. And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.* Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

Today, Oklahoma is set to execute Tremane Wood even though a state panel recommended his life is spared

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

on the day someone finally yeets Bill Clinton into the sun, this site will be united in a way we have not been since.... well, I mean, last night because the sun gave us pretty lights. but you know OTHER than that.

this is pure joy

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

This point absolutely correct and I will add that Mamdani demonstrates that an insurgency, even one with real moral clarity and anger at the status quo, can still be cheerful and inviting.

My reading habits are the same (although I’m trying to change that) and I have also only read one …and I found it to be my most problematic read of the year 🙃

Finished ONCE A VILLAIN today, the conclusion to @vanessalen.bsky.social’s ONLY A MONSTER series, and man, what a banger of a series!! Sad it’s over but enjoyed every moment

shocker!!!

Unfortunately still true bsky.app/profile/adam...

huh keep up the pressure good citizens

As I’m trying to mentally detach myself from publishing I don’t listen to any book/writing/publishing podcasts—except for this one, which never misses

My red line has always been lowering health costs for Americans. Donald Trump and Republicans don’t want an agreement that meets that bar. I’m a no.

Finally found the ICE video that I fully could not watch and it was the man having the seizure while they pulled a child from his arms. Countries are fake, borders are fake, nothing can justify this inhumanity. It’s all just for the abstract comfort of withering country clubbers and their pawns.

Me waiting for the bus omw to kick your ass

Here’s the thing. Obviously this is horrible, but working in schools—trans kids are more accepted by other kids than they have ever been. It is remarkable to me, in every school I enter. Old judges can debate trans people’s existence in schools as much as they want, but schools will remain trans af.

i can't believe someone paid to "do politics" suggested that Democrats not call these people "weird"

Please consider donating to my synagogue's warm clothing drive! Amazon wishlist (easy, wide range of prices): bit.ly/bundled25 Silent auction (beautiful handmade crafts!): www.32auctions.com/bundled2025 We want to give mittens, socks, hats, etc. to families who come through our food pantry!

Big results in PA's Dauphin County, a swingy area that's home to Harrisburg. Dems won judgeships in the county for first time in 33 years; one of winners is the first Black woman judge in county ever. They beat the Republican DA who was looking to become a judge. www.pennlive.com/elections/20...

NEW: Judge Gettleman just ordered ICE to improve "serious conditions" inside its Broadview facility in Chicago. Yesterday, people testified in court that they were crammed into overcrowded and filthy cells for days, with little access to lawyers, and pressured into deportation.

For those who don’t know, Lina Khan gave tech bros hell AND her ass to kiss when she was FTC chair. She was busting monopolies left and right. Gave Amazon and Meta the finger too. This is an EXCELLENT addition to his team.

In light of the stunning size of the blue wave, I’m also thinking of all the important races that Dems left on the table by not running a candidate:

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

RESULT: Maine voters reject Question 1, a ballot measure that would have implemented a barrage of new voting restrictions, especially for mail voting.

Update he did lol
