The average American thinks of type 1 diabetes as a temporary condition, a lifestyle, an inconvenience, not as an auto-immune disorder that has destroyed an organ absolutely essential to keeping you alive.

A new federal directive by Mehmet Oz allows the sharing of Medicaid applicant data with DHS effective immediately, rescinding previous “interagency integrity” firewalls. This forces mixed-status families into an impossible calculus: access life-saving medical care or remain invisible to enforcement.

Instead they seem to see the issue as another “give us money” trigger. I got two Mark Kelly texts out of nowhere yesterday asking for cash

god i miss when posting was fun

the degree to which Labour have limboed under my lowest expectations for them is remarkable.

additionally, he has facial hair in this photograph

when its definitely not a hostage situation

ICYMI, this is great stuff. both better designed and more comprehensive than Biden's child tax credit boost www.peoplespolicyproject.org/2025/11/20/r...

ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH

Ohh boy. It's like Iraq without any pretexts

Brandy you're a fine girl What a good wife you would be But my life my love and my lady Is the See

RIP Udo Kier. He had many accomplishments, but I'll always remember him for his major roles in "Iron Sky" and "Iron Sky 2."

During my tween/early-teen magic phase, I went to see a Penn and Teller show and chatted with them after. I asked their advice about being a magician. Teller gave me a long, thoughtful answer about study and perseverance. Penn said if I was interested in girls, quit magic and learn guitar.

It's my favorite day! It's the 38th anniversary of the Max Headroom signal broadcast intrusion! 1st incident lasted 25s during the 9PM news on WGN-TV in Chicago; The 2nd, 2hrs later, lasted ~90s on PBS affiliate WTTW during Dr. Who. You can watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqge...

They are literally firing all the judges they think might grant relief. They just fired a friend of mine a couple hours ago. They have no shame. The bastards want an assembly line for deportations and nothing more; rubber-stamping bootlickers who’ll yes’sir at every new diktat to deny.

Folks, I don’t know how it’s possible, but it gets funnier.

Should be unreal, but this is the reality we are getting modeled from the top down.

Trump take beer

Not sure who made this, but probably the most accurate representation of the current state of tech to date

NEW IL-09 poll with the Justice Coalition Action: Daniel Biss and Kat Abughazaleh are tied for first in the Democratic primary with 18% of the vote. Laura Fine trails in third with 10%, and all other candidates receive 6% or less of the vote.

there are some pictures out from the preliminary investigation into the UPS crash and holy fuck it’s American 191 all over again there was no saving that plane

Turning the US military into the world's largest Nazi Bar

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Put this in the context of the Comey and James prosecutions. * Career attorneys have been forced out because they didn't support those prosecutions. * DOJ lawyers will prosecute at Trump's direction whether or not the underlying law supports it. It is foolish to dismiss this as just an outburst.

WHAT ARE THOOOOOOSEEE

This is a singleminded focus on bigoted scapegoating and punishment that only happens to justify atrocities. You can blame all my Holocaust education for me thinking this ain’t great.

///BREAKING/// The 7th Circuit has GRANTED the Trump administration’s request to stay the release of hundreds of “Operation Midway Blitz” arrestees on Friday chicagotribune.com/2025/11/14/onl…

Today was Palestinian Independence Day. As Trump and Netanyahu’s disastrous postwar plans become clear, the U.S. must recognize and respect Palestinian statehood — as 81% of the world already does. Agency and dignity are the only ways we can achieve lasting peace.

Something the US needs to accept too is that without a large-scale correction imposing consequences on a large number of people, the crisis of governance here will continue indefinitely

It's maddening that elected officials choose to not only see the kidnapping and disappearance of members of our community as an inevitability that they can't do anything about, but then blame protesters for cops choosing to attack them. This is Olympic level gaslighting

Note: The pastor being thrown to the ground and arrested here while protesting outside an ICE facility here — who police single out — appears to be Rev. Michael Woolf, a Baptist pastor (he’s ordained by both American Baptist Churches USA and Alliance of Baptists).

CCL board member Robert Held is challenging Broadview’s protest hour restrictions outside the #ICE facility, arguing they place unconstitutional limits on peaceful assembly—especially for working people who can’t protest during a 9-6 window. @chicago.suntimes.com chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/11...

I'm listening, under 70 year old white man.

Imagine trying to convince someone a decade ago that this sentence would be a 100% literally accurate description of the American political situation.

Saying you inadvertently backed the US into a “National Security Event” isn’t the flex he thinks it is.

This is actually good spin, or would have been. But the fact that the Democratic cave happened without even a coordinated, agreed-upon message like this indicates the depth of the leadership void.

how did i go so long not knowing we were literally teaching people to read wrong. i knew something wasn't right but jesus christ www.apmreports.org/episode/2019...

Reposting with Alt-text:

Can everyone stop pretending that the new CBS is in the news business, and admit that it’s a post-truth propagandistic organization, now that they openly admit it?

The fact that not a single member of the Senate Dem caucus has called for Schumer to be replaced shows you how deep the rot is. This includes Sanders and Warren.

4 UC Berkeley undergrads who put up a cardboard insect to protest Turning P*int USA’s sold out campus event are being charged with FELONY VANDALISM. www.dailycal.org/news/campus/...

It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing. We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.

Me to my dog this morning: "You might be part Siberian Husky, but I'm not!"

We have to assume that every Senate Democrat who's not publicly calling for Schumer's ouster signed off on what happened Sunday.

now they've done it www.wsj.com/world/europe...

So I decided to look up the claims frequencies of other types of insurance and along the way discovered that the claim frequency for employer provided insurance is actually LOWER, & historically MUCH lower, than people with Obamacare marketplace plans. (He is a medical doctor. He is lying to you.)
