Superb point.

🔥🔥🔥 DO NOT BE DISTRACTED & STAY LOUD!! 🔥🔥🔥 DONALD TRUMP IS GOING DOWN!! TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS!!! I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared.

I really can't stress how important it is for progressive and leftists to contend for school, library, water, etc etc boards. Hyper local involvement in our communities where we can actually influence lives.

Mother Jones has been on fire on the John Roberts beat and, man, I'd love to see our national press pick up this ball. "It’s impossible to imagine today’s crisis without the Roberts court having first undermined the foundations of our democracy." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott. From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

Members of the Sackler family who own oxycodone hydrochloride (OxyContin)-maker Purdue Pharma must pay billions of dollars to settle a flood of lawsuits over the harms of opioids, in a new deal formally approved by a federal bankruptcy judge on Tuesday. The Sacklers must contribute up to $7 billion

Rounding up people and putting them into concentration camps, was not about immigrants, it was a dress rehearsal for what will happen to the rest of us.

When DHS dared to call its anti-immigrant racial profiling weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina, “Operation Charlotte’s Web,” I knew I was going to have to write about it. Tonight, at Law Dork, here it is: www.lawdork.com/p/gregory-bo...

Good statement from the US conference of Catholic Bishops

97.5% of the people Trump arrested in Chicago had no criminal record 100% of the people Trump pardoned for Jan 6 had criminal records The difference is the former are mostly Latino & the latter are mostly white. This is systemic white supremacy in 2025. If you still don’t see it, you’re complicit

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

We need a public House vote, every name on the record. We need a majority YES vote. Vance cannot be a tiebreaker. Same on the record vote in the Senate. *We may have more House GOP votes than we think. They see 2026. If it fails in the Senate and/or Trump vetoes, we take that into 2028. ✊🏽

A word about the ill desire to blame trans people or "the groups," which is wanker for trans people, for the losses in 2024. It's a perfectly cynical excuse. It allows you to completely elide the structural crises Dems face while bullying vulnerable people since that seems to be the kink.

Without substantial reading skills, “the risk is that future generations will simply be unable to think as deeply and with as much complexity as in the past."

I really thought we'd emerge from covid with an appreciation of the frailty of life. But Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan... the causal dehumanization of refugees... it's hard not to feel like we're all just bodies for the elite meat grinder.

If you know anyone reasonable who has fallen victim to the trans panic, this is worth the time.

Yes to all of the above.

An important side note about today's Epstein/Trump revelations. They show that Todd Blanche's questioning of Maxwell was either (a) completely incompetent; or (b) intentionally crafted not to elicit facts incriminating Trump. Either way, he is not fit to serve as Deputy Attorney General.

“Could be”? WILL BE!

Perfect by @dccartoonist.bsky.social

Utterly heartbreaking.

Caving on the shutdown won’t make you “moderate.” It makes you WEAK! Giving Republicans what they want for NOTHING more than a “promise” of a vote and risking millions of Americans’ healthcare isn’t compromise—it’s surrender and it’s the most RADICAL thing you could do in this moment. 1/

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

This is unacceptable.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107. 12 days of work in 107 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

We have now entered the most catastrophic phase of the war in Sudan. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/o...

I think we will start seeing defections and increased accountability of Trump as Republicans in vulnerable districts distance from Trump. Time will tell, but we may have turned a corner yesterday.

Air travel during the Trump administration: "Photos from Houston's Bush Intercontinental airport show TSA lines at Terminal E extending outside the building and down the sidewalk Sunday night. At 6:15PM, new photos showed the same long lines hours later..." www.click2houston.com/news/local/2...

Pentagon boss Pete Hegseth has figured out that he doesn't need a “No Coloreds” sign to ban Black and brown soldiers from military events. He can just ban soldiers with beards.

The mayor of Evanston, Illinois, says he is opening two investigations after federal agents were filmed pinning down and repeatedly striking a person in the head as they arrested him. https://cnn.it/3WxkK51

President Trump and several others now high up in his second administration have been talking about using the National Guard to help with mass deportations -- and possibly invoking the Insurrection Act -- for years. Now, those plans might be playing out. n.pr/3WBM4yX

📽️ WATCH: The U.S. government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain citizens. So ProPublica did. We found more than 170 incidents since the start of Trump’s second term. Americans have been kicked, dragged and held for days without access to lawyers. ➡️ Full story: propub.li/3LjuAVS

'We're not a violent city': Chicago locals take on ICE block-by-block reut.rs/4qDiyGV

These are very real concerns.

Federal immigration agents fanned out across Chicago and its North Shore suburbs on Halloween, chasing suspects through front yards, driving SUVs onto sidewalks and using chemical agents during confrontations with furious residents.

The Los Angeles County Public Defender's Office has an unusual unit at its office: A team dedicated to working with defendants who have cognitive disabilities. The office helps these people access treatment. n.pr/4oj2jNz

Not counting his golf outings in Virginia, President Trump spent all or part of 14 days outside of Washington, D.C. during the first 31 days of the shutdown. n.pr/4hBeUcB

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

Forrest Smith was forced to step down last month as the sole employee at the National Park Service responsible for cleaning up abandoned oil and gas wells at national parks across the U.S. He wasn't replaced. Now, the wells are at risk of spewing planet-warming gases and contaminating groundwater.

Faith Family Academy is one of eight Texas charter school districts on track to be shut down at the end of the year after receiving an “F” rating. Board members paid its superintendent a peak annual compensation of $560,000 in recent years. With @texastribune.org

After bringing white South Africans to the United States as refugees earlier this year, the Trump administration has now granted protection to members of far-right European parties. This plan, which recently became official, makes the country's refugee program into a tool for white nationalism.

The UN human rights chief says US military strikes against vessels allegedly carrying illegal drugs from South America are “unacceptable” and must stop. The condemnation marks the first of its kind from a United Nations organization.

The White House plans to bar hospitals that treat transgender children and youth from getting any Medicare and Medicaid payments. The move would affect trans youth who have private insurance, too. n.pr/4qFa1mY

During a press conference, Kristi Noem claimed that ICE has not detained or arrested any US citizens. This isn't true. The reality is that at least 170 citizens have been held by immigration agents, including two kids with cancer.

Earlier this year, we documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office. ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.” You can judge for yourself.

It is already happening in areas of Wisconsin. Very sad!

NEW: About 90,000 people living near larger chemical plants face an unacceptable risk of developing cancer, the EPA says. New rules adopted last year could’ve cut that number to 3,000 residents — a drop of 97%. But Trump has halted those efforts.

The agency was expected to review the president’s construction projects, including a recently announced “Independence Arch” near the Lincoln Memorial.
