Looks like something to keep an eye on:

Good informative thread on the Hantavirus situation:

Meet Occam’s Kazoo!

Not much on sharing things from Bozo’s WaPo, but it does seem pertinent.

MAGA accounts tweet in unison about the need for a White House ballroom following WHCD incident

Yes, all these maga types making contrite noises are just trying to distance themself from DT before he completely shits the bed, so they can position themselves to take over after he’s gone.

Imagine!! Somehow!!

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

The Hungarian election is about Russian oligarchy and its support of the international far right. That’s why Vance is there. He is a node in that network.

DT is just celebrity version of a regular loudmouth asshole, such as most of us have had the displeasure of dealing in our lives at some point: VP Pilsbury Proudboy, however, is a genuinely weird piece of work.

Highly pertinent quote:

Trump's war with the Catholic Church has taken a new turn. The head of the US military chaplains has called the war in Iran unjust and is calling on service people to refuse immoral and unjust orders. This is unprecedented. My latest. charlieangus.substack.com/p/church-sen...

Obviously she’ll be replaced by someone at least as bad, but in the meantime enjoy this great headline anyway!

Brilliant, no notes!

Fuck sakes.

Two things here: obviously this idiot is a gleefully genocidal frat boy, but he’s also brushing off the fact that Trump’s boss, Putin, is giving Iranian forces info on where US troops are!?!

I already have huge respect for RG and her brave and necessary work, but the fact that her standing up to nazi stalkers started with her challenging them for not paying the cover at an indie concert is chef’s kiss…

Excellent piece, pointing out the creepy sex-and-violence obsessions of this current iteration of fascism.

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

A clear-eyed take, this. The usual fig-leafs are even less convincing than usual in this case, given that Rump doesn’t do or think anything without personal gain in view.

Remembering much-missed Swift Years bandmate Suzanne Ungar, whose birthday was yesterday, with this lovely Hungarian poem/prayer: swiftyears.bandcamp.com/track/adjon-...

It’s not Godwin’s Law when you’re talking about actual nazis. Kudos to Prof. Snyder for calling it as it is.

That is quite the exclusion: that they don’t want to release anything depicting “death, physical abuse, or injury” certainly implies that images of it exist in the files.

RFK Jr. Demonstrates How To Remove Tapeworm By Scooting Ass Across Carpet https://theonion.com/rfk-jr-demonstrates-how-to-remove-tapeworm-by-scooting-ass-across-carpet/

2012: The Putin regime arrests members of the musical group Pussy Riot for a protest in a cathedral to highlight ties between the regime and the church. 2026: The Trump regime arrests protesters (and Don Lemon) over a demonstration at a Minnesota church to highlight ties between ICE and the church.

Excellent writing, “The secret fears of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone.”

RIP the great Sly Dunbar, Solidarity forever! youtu.be/r9OjPQMnY7c?...

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Keep the pressure on!

so bari definitely got the heads up that noem is being shitcanned, right?

We’ve known that Miller is a dangerous racist monster since 2016, but it’s still wild to see the extensive receipts for his obsessions before that: 900 emails to Breitbart in 15 months, all about his rabidly racist obsessions.

American owned newspaper asks convicted criminal who was pardoned by Trump to weigh in on Canadian affairs. Now over to the guy on the beach in Costa Rica.

Heartbroken. Help the Pretti family tell the truth about Alex. “The sickening lies told by the administration about our son are reprehensible and disgusting.” Help Alex’s family as they grieve. Share this.

This headline just made me snort with derision on a crowded bus: how disconnected from reality (or steeped in bad faith) would you have to be, to want to suck up to rump’s hapless and charmless under-toady?

Interesting, but not entirely surprising.

wrote about the occupation in minnesota with a closing note on how the white house has exactly one tactic — repression with goons — but no particular strategy for dealing with entrenched resistance. gift link.

A few months back I was surprised and unsettled to see Pahlavi suddenly becoming a thing again: how could he possibly be the answer?

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

NEWS: The United Auto Workers union throws their support behind the Ford factory worker who was suspended for calling Trump a "pedophile protector" — and slams Trump for targeting workers with "vulgar language or behavior"

Followed by a nauseating little smirk.

This is an accurate description. Stephen Miller is riding high and crowing away now, but his eventual end will not be pretty: I’m only worried about the misery and stupidity he’ll cause before then.

Je me souviens, je me souviendrai.

Nothing proves the Trump administration is made of mean whims based on lies better than a president who is murdering people in boats "because I am so strongly against drug trafficking" pardoning someone who trafficked more drugs than a hundred fishing boats could carry. www.cnn.com/2025/11/28/p...

The recording debut of EVENSUN (fka Esmé & Sons) is out, & we’re very proud of it: checkitout on Bandcamp, where musicians actually have a chance of getting paid! Diverse folk/rock/pop vibes, 5 original songs/tunes and a trad rave-up to close…. evensun.bandcamp.com/album/vensun

Yeah. What Emma Thompson said.

Malcolm Nance said these sound like the titles of porn movies.

Excellent piece; and did Anita Anand really say that it was up to the US, to decide whether their campaign of extrajudicial murder on the high seas breaks international law?!

Well done @antihate.ca for this investigative reportage, and also CBC radio for leading their 8am World Report with it.

Great précis of the bullshit travesty of Christianity peddled by maga types! Along with the obvious ones about “pro-life” really meaning “pro-birth, and fuck ‘em after that.”
