Rewarding a dictator-aggressor always leads to another war. One that is usually even worse.

This young man has it exactly right.

Dear White Men, Welcome to the surveillance state. Your gender and skin color are no longer enough to protect you from illegal detention: apnews.com/video/secret...

The Honduran-born Charlotte resident filed a police report after the officers let him go. Racial profiling, no warrant, no due process; but what else can one expect from a regime committing extrajudicial murder on the high seas? Trump's gotta go.

Bingo. Corporate welfare is the real welfare you should be talking about.

"We are not surrounded by cretinous, vicious imbeciles but mostly by careful, thoughtful people who may disagree with us but usually have good reasons for doing so." Fascinating & wise piece from @naomialderman.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/books/2025/n...

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Anyone who grew up in a fundamentalist household and made the painful journey out knows exactly what kind of sanctimonious asshole Mike Johnson is

The majority is on the side of progress. Don't let despair become your mindset.

Faith leaders and peaceful protesters are being subjected to violence and abuse, including the violent arrest of at least one priest by Illinois State Police, Broadview Police Department, and Cook County Sheriffs at the Broadview ICE Detention Center. (November 14, 2025)

On November 14, 2025, in Evanston, Illinois, disturbing video footage emerged showing Border Patrol Goons attempting to flee the scene of an accident. In their escape, they resorted to pepper-spraying witnesses, instilling fear and intimidation in the community that resides just outside Chicago.

Count the ways they’re corrupting DOJ: Presidents don’t direct AG’s to open criminal cases, especially ones designating only Dems for investigation when POTUS himself is involved. DOJ doesn’t publicize criminal investigations & the AG definitely doesn’t assign them on Twitter.

In Kenner, Louisiana, ICE and DEA GOONS violently abducted a woman from a Walmart parking lot. You can hear her child screaming as the GOONS beat her. 11/13/25

Official U.S. Government account refers to its citizens as "imbecilic morons".

A recent UW report on data security issues with automatic license plate readers has been creating waves among law enforcement agencies using the technology, including Lynnwood, Redmond, and Stanwood. Other cities remain committed, despite the risks. Story: www.theurbanist.org/2025/11/13/w...

Well, I hope Montanan voters get it, at least.

🤬🤬

For no particular reason….posting former U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell’s mugshot before he went to Federal prison for committing numerous crimes on behalf and or/at the direction of President Nixon including obstruction of justice and conspiracy.

Burns: The Old Testament says there’s nothing new under the sun. On July 4th, 1776, there was. Everybody up to that point had been under authoritarian rule. It was in the interests of their rulers that they be uneducated, that they be superstitious, that they be distracted by conspiracies…

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..." Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night: www.propublica.org/article/chic...

On days like today I like to recall some wise advice: hope is not a fleeting emotion, it is a discipline.

When did pedophilia become a partisan issue? The American people deserve to know the full truth about Jeffrey Epstein and every powerful person who enabled him. Every name. Every flight log. Every cover up. All of it.

everyone gets so mad at the mods here for doing basic mod shit. sometimes you gotta make a little murder joke and eat a three day ban for it. that’s life baby, there’s beauty in that.

This is a better answer than I gave on The Source to @kaitlancollins.bsky.social last night.

If you have tenure at Texas A&M and aren't maliciously emailing the president a dozen times every day to ask if you can say this or you can say that, then what's the point in having tenure?

AIPAC (American Israeli Public Affairs Committee) is a right wing fascist lobby group that supports WAR CRIMINAL Netanyahu. Any politician that is even partly supported by the group should be thrown out of office. That includes almost all republicans, and even a few democrats.

Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

Sen. John Kennedy on Epstein: "I just don't think this issue is gonna go away until it's addressed and answered to the American people's satisfaction. And I may end up with a Sombrero on my head for saying that, but that's the way I see it."

Soon, we'll oversee a budget of more than $100 billion — and every dollar will reflect our commitment to working New Yorkers and delivering universal childcare. Good thing some little New Yorkers gave me a counting lesson today!

one thing we need to do as a society is treat all fraud or theft over $100 million or so as a potential capital crime, with the possibility of execution for offenders.

Fact-check: true 😕

The Trump administration said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over a building in Chicago. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up those claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arrested in the raid are telling their stories.

Yesterday, I pleaded not guilty to the charges that Trump’s DOJ has hit me with in federal court. This administration is targeting me because they can see that I’ve spoken out against them and will continue to stand up to them.

NOW: Striking baristas are hosting a rally in Philly and are joined by allies and friends! Workers standing up and fighting back. Don’t shop at Starbucks while @sbworkersunited.org are on strike! #NoContractNoCoffee Take action: seiu.co/NoStarbucks

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

A reminder that the Epstein files aren't a distraction from the oligarchy. They're an integral part of it.

The whole war on “woke” and “cancel culture” was contrived to protect the worst people in our society and make it possible for them to keep doing despicable things to other people.

I can't stop thinking about that article about how people literally can't read because they're basically taught to guess over the last like two decades and like. It's really starting to make why people will respond aggressively, agreeing with what you said but convinced you said the opposite

Some powerful images on LinkedIn.

The America First guy has brought in 566 foreign workers during his 5 years in office to work at his companies instead of hiring Americans. And counting.

Never attribute to 4 dimensional chess what can properly be chalked up to simple apathy. The Very Deep Thinkers™ have no better handle on events than you and I.

Did Underage Girls Ruin Politics? Tomorrow in the @nytimes.com

Earlier in the year I drove 9600 miles to do Milky Way photography. Between that, work, my health, and the terrors, I'm exhausted. I promised myself no more trips over 100 miles from home for the year, unless critical for the union. I broke that promise Saturday. Worth it. Final version. 🪶

Seems also worth noting that this in large part because we've built a society in which the traits that would make one more likely to be a rapist are also the ones most associated with succeeding within it

Indigenous people at #COP30 want change and power, not just visibility. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Politicians who change parties after election should have to win a special election to keep their seat. Let the voters decide.
