chat are we cooked

BREAKING: Republican-led House and Senate committees say they will amplify their scrutiny of the Pentagon after a WaPo report revealing that Pete Hegseth gave a spoken order to kill all crew members aboard a vessel suspected of smuggling drugs in the Caribbean several weeks ago.

This is part of why, despite much triumphalism from the materialists about 2025's awesome election results, I was not inclined to write Vibe-Voting's obituary.

Federal immigration enforcement officials called off a planned raid on Canal Street today shortly before it was slated to begin. New Yorkers who heard about the raid showed up at the garage where the feds had gathered, and as federal agents tried to leave, the NYPD cleared the way for them.

‪NYPD showed up, pushed thru crowd & then pushed crowd out to break it up.‬ ‪Maybe 2 arrests, ICE still stuck, waiting on NYPD to shove and grab and beat people.‬

ICE is STILL stuck inside the parking garage in lower Manhattan, and they seem pretty grumpy about it.

Folks from a local elementary school in my area are trying to raise $1300 to cover the December rent of a family that's struggling due to an ICE abduction. You can donate through this local church's Zelle. Pls note that your donation is for the "Kilmer family" (Kilmer is the name of the school):

This is essentially Vinay Prasad, who has an MD, declaring his intent to use the government to torture children to dead via preventable disease by knowingly withholding the cure. To call this despicable is an understatement.

A rare moment of a Republican genuinely giving a damn.

The legal, media, and academic institutions capitulating to an authoritarian ordering payments for favorable treatment are damning themselves to irrelevance. They are destroying their institutions. They will be — and should be — shunned for failing in their most basic purposes for existing.

"The agreement places no restrictions on our transgender community." Except whether they can play sports, where they can use the bathroom or locker room, what kind of housing they can live in, and what healthcare they can receive.

The @medillschool.bsky.social was silent as 200+ journalists were murdered in Gaza, was silent as their own students were threatened w beating by police, then suspended me and denied me tenure for standing w the students. It is not a journalism school, it is a school for teaching cowardice & fascism

Imagine posing for a photographer friend who sells your image to iStock and a year later, you see this is what The Washington Post has done with the image of you walking on a beautiful fall day

It's only a matter of time before humanities departments will be forced to accept AI-authored assignments, as part of revised university policy to cooperate with these billionaires. It's already happening, and our response needs to be decisive. Because our students' ability to *think* is at stake.

I feel like the fractures we are seeing in the MAGA coalition have some people hoping the status quo will simply make a roaring comeback, and judicial consequences will simply engulf all of the bad guys. There's really no precedent that supports that expectation.

Black Friday demo @ Apple Store in NYC: Earlier today, activists unfurled banners and called on Apple customers to skip buying new tech this year, noting the gear they’re ogling is made from minerals mined with child & slave labor. They also pointed out Apple’s subservience/contributions to Trump.

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

He’s at 60% disproval lol

obviously plenty of other things should have already been disqualifying but people willing to defy Trump publicly and appeal to decency as their reason for doing so both seem pretty good

What a great headline

Exclusive: Hegseth ordered everyone killed in the first alleged drug boat strike on Sept. 2, prompting a second hit to finish off survivors in the water in a mission led by SEAL Team 6. Ordering no quarter could legally perilous www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Nothing says defending your right to exist quite like killing two Palestinian men in the West Bank while they are trying to surrender.

This is murder. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

National Guard aren’t ICE or Border Patrol. They didn’t sign up looking to harass and repress people. They’re volunteers, part time, in case of emergency. They didn’t ask for this. West Virginia National Guard shouldn’t have been deployed in Washington DC. Victims of the shooter and the president.

when you’re trying to evade capture after WWII ends:

The Trump DOJ played down the risk of deploying the National Guard to DC, despite warnings, and now one of them is dead. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

According to the research, AI chatbots will dish on topics like nuclear weapons, child sex abuse material, and malware so long as users phrase the question in the form of a poem. www.wired.com/story/poems-...

You can get ChatGPT to help you build a nuclear bomb if you simply design the prompt in the form of a poem, according to a new study from researchers in Europe. www.wired.com/story/poems-...

This is so far into virulent racism, there can be no normalization of this. For a long time, people have said we're on the road to a new Nazi regime. Well, here we are. If you were ever planning to fight violent fascism, the time is now.

Purchasing a National Park Annual Pass in December 2025 will let you to: 1️⃣ Avoid Donald Trump’s face 2️⃣ Visit National Parks through December 2026

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Killing is bad, and to that end I'd like to call attention to the dozens killed in small boats in the southern Caribbean by the Trump Administration and the estimated 600,000 who've died of preventable disease and starvation thanks to the administration's destruction of USAID.

The same road this picture was taken. My neighborhood.

Work is the only thing stopping him from compulsive masturbation

Dude who took health insurance and food stamps from more Americans than any Speaker in US history wants you to know how tough he's got it.

ICE is kidnapping people on Thanksgiving. If you think they can be reformed, ask your family how they would feel if they never saw you today.

TBH I don't know how anyone can buy Boar's Head anything (and for quite a while) at this point.

remember, folks,

Labor gaining just the tiniest amount of power relative to capital a few years back absolutely broke employers' brains

Without farmworkers we wouldn’t be able to celebrate Thanksgiving. Be thankful for their hard work this holiday season! Sin los trabajadores agrícolas no podríamos celebrar el Día de Acción de Gracias. ¡Agradece su arduo trabajo en estas fiestas! #WeFeedYou #Thanksgiving

They supposedly ended it by ***checks notes** massacring, raping, and enslaving women and children. But they did it very Christianly.

Can you imagine 50 people a day, I said 50 people a day, walking into an ICE office, singing "You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant" and walking out?

just gotta get the bird out the freezer and we should be good to eat soon

The squirrels are ruining this country we let too many squirrels in and they get free healthcare and take all your jo

Brazil approves the first vaccine against dengue. The disease killed 6000 Brazilians in 2024. This is a really remarkable achievement. I got dengue in 2015, and even with the mild case I had, it was a really miserable experience.

"Miles said her son and uncle were both detained by ICE agents who initially did not accept their tribal IDs before they were eventually let go."

This is who we're deporting while we're importing sex traffickers like the Tate brothers and white supremacists who are nostalgic for Apartheid.
