having a hobby outside of politics has made my brain better tbqh. like. it doesnt make me care less. it makes me able to care instead of being numb.

I’ll give credit where credit is due. The first two episode of Strange Things this season were bad, but the last two were really solid, and I really liked how they handled the queer themes. I really hope they have Will tell Mike his feelings and Mike is touched & affirms his platonic love for Will.

I just want to be clear, as someone who very much enjoys reading history. What was done to Black people in the United States and other nations, in terms of chattel slavery. is the worst crime humans have done to humans. Chattel enslavement is a very unique evil form of enslavement.

This is the third biggest lottery prize of 2025 and the second biggest Powerball jackpot of the year so far.

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries: “Strong floor, no ceiling” Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy.”

Tonight, we did something everyone counted out. We proved to a nation that states like Tennessee are still worth fighting for. The margin was close, and that can only be attributed to the thousands of volunteers who showed out. This is just the beginning.

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there. Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

“They're preying on people that are looking for answers where there may not be any at this time. Offering people false hope.” CBC investigative journalist Geoff Leo provides a wrenching account of how a business in Saskatchewan preyed on the hope of a dying woman with ALS. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Exciting new #Zebrafish research from the #WeinsteinLab, led by Jong Park! “Specialized gas-exchange endothelium of the zebrafish gill” — www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Amazing to see red blood cells moving through the gills! Don’t forget to check out the supplemental movies ;-)

NOAA's #OceanAcidification Program is funding 6 new awards to help U.S. coastal communities adapt to ocean acidification. Check out the project in Lingít Aaní, southeast Alaska. #AlaskaSky 🧪🌊🦑 oceanacidification.noaa.gov/funded-proje...

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime. If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder. It’s that simple.

“Dr. Goodenowe Restorative Health Center in Moose Jaw [is] a private, unregulated facility that claims ‘a 100 per cent success rate in stopping the progression and in restoring function of people with ALS.’” Goodenowe should be facing criminal charges.

The Trump regime isn't a presidential administration--it's a heist operation. The most corrupt president in American history and it's not even close.

October colour pencil art! 🍂 #artses

It’s never ok to use the R slur. It’s never ok to discriminate against and berate disabled people. It’s not an acceptable term to describe anyone, for any reason. He’s emboldening his base. They’re going to use it more often. Please speak out. Help protect disabled lives.

😡😡😡

96% of the highest-paid workers in the US have paid sick days. Just 38% of the lowest-paid workers get them — including the thousands of retail workers working this holiday weekend. Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them paid sick leave.

Why the Department of Education is making a huge mistake.

Government actors who refuse to be bound by the rule of law are not morally entitled to its protection.

That's the thing, Miller is absolutely the lowest hanging fruit here because he has no friends, freaks people out, and also (importantly) ordered a bunch of criminal human rights abuses. If you're trying to look tough as a Dem in a post-Trump era, he'd be the logical place to start.

One of my first journalism professors would give you a zero if you had even one error of fact. It happened to me. Sucked so much. He was one of the best professors I ever had, I took three more classes from him, and we’re still in touch

Ten million Canadians live in food-insecure households. The federal budget doesn’t help them policyoptions.irpp.org/2025/11/budg...

If you have good knees, you really do not appreciate how much difference 2 inches of height makes when it comes to getting up from a seated position. A couch that's just a little too low can be an obstacle like climbing twenty flights of oily stairs.

Scots taxpayers to pay £200 million for new nuclear power stations in England talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/11/29/s...

New Yorkers kept telling me the same thing: they’re thinking of leaving because they can’t afford to raise their kids here. Universal childcare isn’t just a promise — it’s how we make this a city for everyone.

At a time when the food-stamp system is under fire & more strict work requirements are starting to kick in, a review of companies with the most SNAP recipients in the state shows many are employed by high-profile companies in retail, health care & the gig economy. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/28/m...

here's the thing, Madame Premier: science doesn't care whether industry can afford a carbon tax. the world will continue to warm. as usual, you show no leadership and are instead trying to placate the separatist whack jobs in your party

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire? Makes me think at least one top-ranking officer knows what a war crime is.

Soon small businesses won’t have to wait for Small Business Saturday to get attention from their Mayor. Some changes that they can look forward to:

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts a Kp index of four out of nine Saturday night.

My health insurance for the year costs less than a month of insurance in a blue state ACA plan.

Oh, everything's the Antichrist with this guy

the mother of her nephew!!!

Real power is being able to cut them off from their revenue stream.

If you feel like the cost of nearly everything is UP 📈, that's because it is. Trump's chaos and tariffs are economic arson and EVERYONE can feel it in their pocketbooks.

I’m still thinking about Bari Weiss saying that Hasan Piker (extremely popular influencer) is less of a measure of where Americans are than Alan Dershowitz (extremely unpopular Epstein associate, his own neighbors won’t sell him a pierogi)

If you’re wondering who’s guiding our transition, it’s the best New Yorkers that money can’t buy.

Electric bills are up 11% this year, and shutoffs are spiking across the country. At the same time, corporations are building hundreds of energy-hungry data centers, and working families are being forced to absorb the cost. Higher bills for us, higher profits for them. seiu.co/3M71usW

Why do the Irish far-right not understand that alleged rapists cannot be named to protect the victim. The victim can waive their right to anonymity once they're an adult and chose to do so. A child cannot do the same. It has nothing to do with ethnicity. It's the law.

People can dislike and voice their disapproval for a comic. Criticism is always helpful. However when you go to targeted harassment, death threats and more? That's too far. Did no one learn from the Spider-Man fans who threatened Dan Slott? Threats and harassment is not criticism. It's NOT okay.

Congrats to the 21,000 @uptecwa.bsky.social health care, research and technical workers at the University of California on voting to ratify their new contract! After 17 months of negotiations, this new contract is a testament to the power of our solidarity.

Impeach, convict, remove. And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

The northern lights could appear as far south as northern Iowa and South Dakota, according to NOAA’s view line.
