$40B of your money to this guy, so he can dance at CPAC at Mar-a-Lago while Americans wait for their paychecks, hoping the money actually comes.

The spinning stars behind George Washington’s head are meant to evoke the spinning sonnenrads frequently used similarly in neo-Nazi video edits—and it is being received accordingly by many on the far right.

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states

40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine. We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/w...

It’s weird. You’re drinking your first cup of coffee, getting ready for breakfast, when all of a sudden your notifications blow up, so you throw some clothes on, grab your PPE, and run off to chase trouble with neighbors.

"To obtain the capital they need, hyperscalers have leveraged a growing list of complex debt-financing options ... That shift is fueling speculation that A.I. investments are turning into a game of musical chairs whose financial instruments are reminiscent of the 2008 financial crisis." Vibe shift.

The House will be out again next week. That's 20 work days in 19 weeks.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

We joke about the Torment Nexus and all that, but... The truth is science fiction warned us endlessly not to let fear control us. "Fear is the mind killer" "Fear is a path to the Dark Side" etc. Silicon Valley claimed to love SF, then built a machine to amplify fear as a means to control people.

Ran a 20K trail race today. Did not really train for it, and my ankle was still sore from an injury. But finished in 2:17 with a LOT left in the tank so I am considering it a win!

good night every body

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.

I don’t understand why Jackson did this can someone explain

Religion note: The first plaintiff in this case pushing the Trump admin to fully fund SNAP benefits is the Rhode Island State Council of Churches. By my count, that makes 62 religious organizations (including denominations!) that have been part of lawsuits against the Trump admin this year.

Remember, historically judges will almost always take gov't claims at face value. It's an astounding fact that judges are now increasingly realizing that this administration just flat out lies to them constantly. And it's good to see them calling it out (in this case with a Trump-appointed judge).

AI slop ruining the internet part 10000: nail art instagram Also these aren’t even that fun.

"The average voter believes a SNAP recipient gets $20/day, more than 3 times the actual amount of $6."

Look at these masked cowards playing make believe infantry in my quiet little city, terrified of an old lady. Fucking wimps

I just keep thinking “Elon Musk just got a trillion dollars”

I'm gonna need just one person to ask Mike Johnson about this maneuver here because this is absolutely one he can't sidestep. Begging SCOTUS to allow him to starve people is gonna be in the papers whether he likes it or not

This is very clearly the direction in which things are headed, especially since so many of the people who built and maintained the tools the US IC has developed-in house have been fired or have left.

President Trump also pardoned a man convicted of working as an agent for China’s Operation Fox Hunt—a plot that helps the Chinese Communist Party control citizens living outside of the country. McMahon claimed he was duped into the job. newrepublic.com/post/202907/...

Apart from it getting stuff wrong (of course), part of the joy of vacationing is figuring out what to do and learning about new places as you do it. I for one am not giving up my humanity to a billionaire’s robot tyvm

He has now erased fully 10% of the term to which Grijalva was elected.

It’s the same in DC. They make arrests so quickly before word can spread and crowds can gather so I really do not think almost anyone here realizes the scale. But at least 14 people that I know of were taken from my part of town yesterday alone.

If you are gonna be around babies and young children this holiday season PLEASE make sure your TDAP is up to date!! Per my doctor when I asked if I needed to get it (which I do!), they’re particularly worried about the “P” right now.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.
