Every year I write a letter of gratitude to each of my students. It’s nothing deep; I’ve been making little notes about beautiful sentences they write and smart things they say in discussions. Even my “tough” students get a “thank you for challenging me to see things differently!” 😂 +

We live in the richest country in the history of the world, and we’re the only wealthy nation that doesn’t guarantee health care. Now we’re arguing over whether people deserve food. Explain it to me like I’m five because I don’t get it.

Happy Tuesday and Happy Veterans Day! Today we salute all veterans who fought to protect our freedoms. We had a tie sunrise vote today at the coffee shop so I chose this rather offbeat look at the sun rising behind the clouds . Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

It is with great sadness I inform you that the great Tatsuya Nakadai has died. You might remember me mentioning him frequently during Kurosawa Month when I reviewed every Kurosawa movie. Nakadai was the face of the director's later works, incl. my favorite "Ran." We will never see such talent again.

President Obama shows up for veterans arriving on an Honor Flight... he's still being presidential, while Nodfarter is napping. A big thank you to all my fellow veterans - wishing you a peaceful day. 💙🫶💙 #Obama #VeteransDay

Why should we care about gambling scandals with a convicted felon as the President? Why should the rule of law even matter anymore in America if the laws aren’t applicable to all Americans?

EXCLUSIVE: Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie plan to hold another major press conference with Epstein survivors early next week at the U.S. Capitol

At this point, there’s nothing more American or patriotic than sticking your middle finger up at, booing or marching against the orange felon/fascist republicans and yelling “fuck fascists!”

You can't sit there and say this is a surprise.

On Veterans Day, we honor those who put service before self. To every veteran and their families: Thank you for your courage and sacrifice. Our nation is stronger and safer because of you.

Soft secession Legislation creates a Federal Tax Escrow Account in the state treasury. Instead of employers forwarding collected federal taxes to Washington, they send them to the state. The state holds the money in escrow. A legislative panel reviews federal spending for constitutional compliance.

In September, federal agents swarmed a Hyundai manufacturing site, detaining more than 500 workers, including more than 300 from South Korea. Now, nearly 200 detainees are preparing to sue ICE, alleging human rights violations and unlawful arrest.

Not compared with some of the other conspiracy theories we abide by.

McGovern: You don't even have a health care plan. You been promising one for over a decade and we've never seen it, because it doesn't exist.

On Veterans Day, we honor those who served and commit to serving them in return — not just in words, but in actions. Affordability and a real commitment to mental health are essential to ensure that every veteran can build a future here in New York City.

Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva is expected to become the key signature needed for a petition on releasing the Epstein files when she’s sworn in this week.

In an unforgettable Veterans Day moment, former President Barack Obama surprised dozens of Korean and Vietnam War veterans as their Honor Flight landed in Washington, D.C. The veterans, fresh off their flight from Madison, Wisconsin, were greeted by President Obama himself.

The pentagon failed its 7th audit in a row and can’t account for 63% of its $4 trillion in assets but people who can’t read are mad about their taxes paying for SNAP.

It’s insane to me that people are still shocked that a career fraudster convicted felon’s main goal was to rob the US blind out of revenge as well as greed whilst sitting in the White House that he laced with tacky gold-plating and bulldozed for his ballroom. I hate him.

Come join with others to stand against Trump's political prosecutions, against ICE's attacks on our communities, and for freedom of speech and the right to protest. See you tomorrow.

they’re running out of white guys to pardon

Khanna: I’ll break some news — we’re talking with Massie now about getting another major press conference with the survivors early next week at the Capitol. There’s going to be so much momentum, left and right, to say: out with the Epstein class…

Adelita Grijalva hit the nail on the head: True troop support means funding veterans' health ＆ housing, not slashing it! Let's keep backing our vets, their families, and the federal workers who serve them. #VeteransDay

NEW via CNN: “The United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal”

Pardon my suddenly watery eyes, but a long-time regular just stopped in with this. He'd been reading, found this line, and thought of me, so he wrote it out and brought it in. "I am a handmaiden of civilization. I am a bookseller." 📚❤️

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon
