If Evangelicals want to know why people are leaving organized religion, it's because you excuse and elevate the objectively worst people as "God's chosen," while ridiculing the poor, marginalized, and downtrodden as sinners and lepers. And I'm talking to Evangelicals of all faiths.

what star trek characters are in the epstein files? probably captain kirk, definitely not picard. pike is probably there due to that business with the orion slave girl.

awesome

Maybe so, but two blocks south of where we live in suburban Green Bay, Wisconsin, there's a house flying a Trump flag. Not the same one you see in this Google Maps grab from 2023. Now it's a red one.

How upside down is our world? The White House occupant thinks elected public servants who say the military should not follow illegal orders are "punishable by death." We exactly need public servants to speak out against illegal orders and not be cowed by a man who despises our Constitution.

Keep this in mind when people claim cars mean business — closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY. There was also a 71% drop in air pollution. Via @carltonreid.com in @forbes.com. #citymakingmath #citiesforpeople

"first the (Epstein) files were on Pam Bondi’s desk, then they didn’t exist at all, then they were a hoax written by Joe Biden’s autopen, and now, parts of the files can’t be released — because new shit has come to light, man."

“What did the president know, and how old was she when he knew her?"

Literally none of the economic issues we face are due to undocumented immigrants. Meanwhile, this is verbatim Nazi propaganda being pushed out by the US Dept of Homeland Security. The Trump regime is a fully fascist regime. They're not attempting to hide it in any capacity. This is who they are.

a very good and important response from @slotkin.senate.gov and company in response to Trump's threats. You absolutely cannot allow a would-be authoritarian to know that the surest way to make his opponents back down is to threaten them with violence. www.slotkin.senate.gov/2025/11/20/j...

Solid read. "Potent opposition to the dictatorship requires concerted efforts by actors across the country, both in and out of government, all directed at bringing every abuse of the regime and its dictator to the attention of a public that is already alarmed."

We are required by law to refuse unlawful orders. When the sitting president calls for the death of people teminding us of that he is a fascist dictator. If you are fine with this is does not make you a democrat, republican, conservative or liberal, it makes you a fascist.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey. This isn’t controversial. A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Wrote a column for tomorrow morning about all the crazy shit Trump has done **this week** and hoo boy, let me tell you, it’s a lot. And any one of these things would’ve gotten any past president impeached. The GOP owns every bit of this stain on our history.

I just completed the run of the vintage group cards from 1957 to 1969. Need to put mine in binder pages like this.

Based on how much they're freaked out by edibles I'm pretty sure everyone who's running my kids high school PTO memorized every one of these.

I really think putting staggeringly dumb rich people who are also total jerks in charge of everything was a bad call.

Trump calls to hang Democrats who oppose him US Coast guard no longer considers swastika a hate symbol 97.4% of (mostly) Latinos ICE arrested have 0 criminal record This is what systemic white supremacy looks like. Trump is building a Nationalist Christian (Nat-C) state to violently stifle dissent.

TIL Edmund Fitzgerald, namesake of the ship lost with all hands in a Lake Superior storm in November 1975, had a great uncle Edmond Fitzgerald who also had a ship named after him, the Edmond Fitzgerald, which was lost with all hands in a Lake Erie storm in November 1883

175 years later, longer commute

Just like the crash of American Airlines Flight 191 near O'Hare in Chicago in May 1979. I was on semester break from college, traveling by bus through Chicago that day on the way to the Baseball Hall of Fame. I picked up a paper in Cleveland the next morning. Its lead headline screamed the news.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

dog ate my fascism homework

But of course. On brand. Wisconsin deserves better. 2026 is coming.

45 years ago this week, in November 1980, the Packers were preparing for a game against the Vikings, as they are this week. This fan seemed as indecisive as coach Bart Starr's team was inconsistent, sitting at 4-6-1.

TV update for far-flung Packers fans for Sunday's game vs. the Vikings ... Fox has added a bunch of stations in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Kentucky, showing the game to the RED areas on this @506sports.bsky.social map. (Springfield, Mass., dropped.) Noon CT kickoff from Lambeau Field.

Oh, come on. Fascists trying to erase scientific evidence.

Good.

Now THAT is Trump derangement syndrome.

Also wondering whether we'll really see anything in the Epstein files, or whether everything has been redacted, or selectively redacted.

Trump has to release the entirety of the Epstein Files. Recall FBI agents were tasked to find and scrub his name. We also have the Epstein estate, Ghislaine Maxwell, and the survivors. He cant escape this.

vintage clickbait

I know everyone is used to Trump’s corruption by now, but I must point out that Trump making big governmental announcements exclusively on a social media site he owns is a monetization of his office that no honest politician would even consider doing.

the gulf between the swift brutality with which places like harvard treated students protesting genocide and the endless, endless latitude those same institutions have given people like larry summers tells you everything you need to know

Extraordinary that the Texas government would be so corrupt that it would have to black out more than 80% of its emails with Elon Musk.

PREDICTION: They'll dump a bunch of Epstein stuff on the eve of Thanksgiving. Anything that would make Trump look bad will be redacted, of course, but the redactions will be so sloppily done they will miss stuff that exposes what they're doing. Then they'll go back to saying it's a Democratic hoax.

The rich will get richer, and we're all going to get poorer. It's a big club, and we ain't in it.

This is not OK. Control freaks desperately clinging to power. Wisconsin deserves better. 2026 is coming.

"‘things happen’? what a callous piece of shit. that’s not how a president talks — that’s how a mob boss talks. nice journalist you got here. be a real shame if things were to happen to him."

When ABC paid $15M to settle a lawsuit it would have won, it may have thought it bought peace with Trump. Instead, it invited more bullying. Yesterday, Trump called an ABC reporter ”insubordinate” and threatened ABC’s licenses. Today, more abuse. You either fight Trump or he owns you.

The only way to for the public to see complete Epstein files is to leak it. Do it. Now. Anything else is complicit.

Just to say it again: In another federally regulated field with life-and-death consequences—aviation—anyone who made this sort of gross, grotesque error would be held accountable, and no longer put in charge of other people's fate.

“Apathy isn’t it. We can do something. So flower power didn’t work. So what. We start again.” If you are feeling really stuck and down about where this country has gone, you should refuel by watching One to One: John and Yoko. m.youtube.com/watch?v=oxag...

reminder that Donald Trump said on the record that he partied with his buddy Jeffrey Epstein and women “on the younger side” and yet we’re pretending like the natural of their relationship is some big mystery

So...when's the AI bubble gonna burst and how much is it going to cost the rest of us? We'lre gonna bail these assholes out, just like we did in 2008 and just like we will with the Crypto burst which will happen in the near future.

This is a stunning thing to even have to see Members of Congress say out loud. Absolutely chilling. And inspiring.

Two turkeys, but only one of them knows he’s a turkey.

Good TV map for far-flung Packers fans this week. Fox is showing Sunday's game vs. the Vikings to the RED areas on this @506sports.bsky.social map, plus Hawaii. Noon CT kickoff from Lambeau Field. Joe Davis and Greg Olsen on the call. All of Sunday's NFL TV maps: 506sports.com/nfl.php?yr=2...

The Green Hornet knew the score, even way back in 1966. One of the bad guys in the premiere episode was a guy named ...
