The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

The 29-y.o. Afghan man who shot 2 newly sworn-in West Virginia Nat'l Guard members in Washington DC had previously worked w/ CIA-backed militias in Kandahar, the agency confirmed. Rahmanullah Lakanwal entered the US in 2021 under Operation Allies Welcome & received asylum this year under Trump...

⭕️ Breaking: Israeli forces who were filmed executing 2 unarmed Palestinian men in Jenin yesterday now claim they “eliminated a terrorist” near the yellow line in southern Gaza — again w/o offering any evidence. The IDF says a “terrorist” approached its positions along the yellow line & was...

🥹 (Poem by Victoria Erickson)

One year ago today, the so-called “ceasefire” in Lebanon was declared. Since then Israel has violated the truce more than 10,000 times, killed over 350 Lebanese civilians, abducted dozens, occupied additional land, and now openly threatens a new war.

They did it again! NYC subway Thanksgiving 2025, via @scootercaster.com!

The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us. But I won't back down — and neither should you.

#Sudan: We call on the RSF to protect health facilities and staff, following the death of a Ministry of Health colleague during a shooting at Zalingei hospital. For the second time this year, we have withdrawn staff to ensure their safety. ow.ly/O8VW50XxNcx

I really wish we'd stop calling them climate "skeptics" or "vaccine skeptics", if you jump off a cliff we don't call you a "gravity skeptic"

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks: “Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

“Quiet Piggy.” 🙄

📽️ Jeremy Scahill On The Gaza Vote: “Extraordinarily Dark Moment In The History Of The United Nations.” Scahill says the new UN resolution gives an “international stamp of legitimacy” to the U.S.–Israeli plan to privatize and occupy Gaza. The UN now “endorses Israel’s war of subjugation and...

Dear Megyn Kelly for the record, 15 is not "barely legal". It's just ILLEGAL. Maybe this will help you: Ages 1-17 = illegal Ages 18+ = legal "Barely legal" would mean recently turned 18, not "will be legal in 3 years" ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

OMG!! COURIER has turned Epstein’s 20,000-file dump into a searchable database. Trump’s name popped up in 1,628 documents. ⬇️

They market their cars as weapons and we allow them on the same roads as children cycling to school. And I still get weird middle-aged men in my notifications obfuscating for and defending this. This is not a serious society.

More than a dozen Israeli soldiers spoke to ITV for their new documentary Breaking Ranks: Inside Israel’s War, about how their army’s two-year campaign in Gaza involved shooting unarmed Palestinians en masse, using teenagers as human shields, and flattening entire neighborhoods without pretext of...

Truly do not know how to answer some of the questions on the World Trade Center Health Registry's annual survey.

This new @amnesty.org study is damning. A quarter of the world’s population lives within a 3 mile radius if a fossil fuel project. That’s 2b people. We must end this era of greed and harm. www.downtoearth.org.in/amp/story/cl...

Fark You, Chuckley

This 16 yr old American is being held in jail by Israel for allegedly throwing a rock at a car (his family denies this happened). Mohammed Ibrahim is one of 300 Palestinian children being held in Israeli prisons.

As Trump proclaims the Alaskan Arctic open for business, it turns out business isn’t good. The infrastructure to drill in the Arctic is expensive and the private companies interested in the area don’t appear to have the capital.

The #vtpoli Chittenden-Central District is in for another hotly contested primary next year: sugaringoff.org/2025/11/06/c...

REPUBLICANS WOULD RATHER SHUT DOWN AIR TRAVEL THAN SHUT DOWN A CHILD RAPIST. REPUBLICANS WOULD RATHER TAKE FOOD FROM A BABY THAN TAKE POWER FROM A CHILD RAPIST. REPUBLICANS WOULD RATHER DEPRIVE 20 MILLION OF HEALTH CARE THAN DEPRIVE A CHILD RAPIST OF HIS GOLDEN BALLROOM. #GOPShutdown #RemoveTrump

🔴 BREAKING: Israel Launches New Wave of Strikes Across Southern Lebanon The Israeli military has unleashed heavy airstrikes across various parts of...Lebanon in what Al Jazeera described as the most serious escalation since the ceasefire that ended the 2024 war with Hezbollah... More details: ⬇️ 🧵

So... Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) asked the 4 nominees in this hearing a simple question -- if Trump directed you to break the law, would you follow the law or follow the president's directive? -- and not one could just say they'd follow the law. 😬

My gut sense here is that Rs didn't think this would become an issue, then got pot committed to a terrible precedent just so they won't admit they were wrong.

my home phone just rang, it was Dave Roberts asking me to get loose

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

While Turin is known as the “Detroit of Italy”, and home to the largest car manufacturer in the country, there is a tacit understanding its heart is no place for motor vehicles. The central square in Piazza San Carlo was stripped of parking in 2004, turning it into the main living room of the city.

"[P]olice body-slammed teens to the ground, punched them, used Tasers or pointed guns at girls. None of these teenagers were armed ... [The CDC] estimates that [US ERs] treated 21,000 people under the age of 18 for nonfatal injuries at the hands of police and security guards from 2015 through 2019."

NYT: Head of the U.S. Military’s Southern Command Is Stepping Down, Officials Say Adm. Alvin Holsey, who is leaving less than a year into his tenure, had raised concerns about the recent attacks on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean Sea, one official said.

Trump ICE regime troops terrorizing American civilians out shopping, knowing fully well they are US citizens. The regime thugs are violently chasing people, especially nonwhites, they don't show them ID.

The disappearing of people by other people that are either employed by the government, or just simply cosplaying to get off on it is just so beyond fucked up. More than half the country including a majority of politicians are just like, hell yeah. We are so beyond fucked. We need more than protests.

Murder.

Thanks to Politico, an extreme conservative is suddenly persona non grata in #vtpoli-land. I could have told you — actually, I DID tell you — about his extremism three years ago. And there are more like him in the Republican Statehouse caucuses. thevpo.org/2025/10/14/i...

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.
