TRUMP: If you look at Somalia, they are taking over Minnesota. REPORTER: What do the Somalians have to do with this Afghan guy who shot the National Guard members? TRUMP: Ah, nothing. But Somalians have caused a lot of trouble. They're ripping us off.

a young woman who signed up to serve her community and our narcissistic, despotic president decided to use her as a prop for his ego

I found this terribly sad. A young woman with her life ahead of her, and she becomes one of the last American victims of the Long War.

Trump refuses to directly admit his administration granted the DC shooter asylum and then wraps up the press availability

Asked if he’ll attend the funeral of the slain National Guard member from West Virginia, Trump immediately pivots to talking about how popular he is in that state

Starbucks baristas picketing at the Buffalo, NY store where it all began for Starbucks Workers United. A good reminder: When you’re fighting a corporate oligarchy, worker solidarity is the only path to a fair economy. Very thankful for unions today! ✊

I think it’s time to put this one back out into the ether, friends Come and learn about how the tropes undergirding anti-Jewish hatred and conspiracy theories as they exist today came to be…

Would definitely add Sterling Harjo’s latest, The Lowdown, it’s fantastic and doesn’t have much buzz. On Hulu now!

awwww this is for us, bluesky

the 29th prime minister of australia (a useless centrist who was done in by his own party) had his official portrait unveiled this week, and

very evident that millennials are the adults now when shaggy is singing bangin on the bathroom floor in the macy’s thanksgiving day parade and then lil jon does turn down for what

Reminder: the first Raimi SPIDER-MAN is a Thanksgiving movie.

The myth of that a bunch of young hackers can solve any problem was debunked by DOGE. But the larger moral stain is that this was a heist. Cost saving was a cover story to shutdown investigations into Elon’s companies, steal government data and engage in genocide by proxy via killing USAID.

The Trump administration has reacted to a small scale lone wolf attack by in DC announcing a sweeping collective punishment, using the organs of government to heap blame on partisan rivals, and potentially dissuading anyone from collaborating with US forces abroad for a generation.

Oh no

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

NEW: The two shot National Guard troops never should have been in DC. More troops is no answer. The violence is horrible and unacceptable. Trump, Pete Hegseth, and West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey never should have put the troops in this position. Tonight, at Law Dork:

I wanted to make this the moment @antlervel.vet made that post the night of the primary but I didn’t want to jinx the general election. Today feels like the right day to post it anyway, I think. Bsky Posts as Resistance Art: Vol. 2

Starting to just get bored of the Lizza Nuzzi RFK jr stuff because although it’s salacious it’s mostly just annoying awful people thinking they’re more fascinating than they actually are

Once again I ask what Democrats in Congress are doing to stop this. Because it doesn’t look like they’re doing much at all.

I think more than anything else AI feels like a miracle to people with questionable literacy because it can read and write for you, and a lot of us who are highly literate underestimate how many of our society's leaders, esp in business, struggle with literacy.

At this point, I wonder if he isn't lying when he says he has "my highest Poll Numbers, ever" since it's entirely possible that's what his aides are telling him. It's quite likely that there's an entire Potemkin village built around Trump right now.

The CDC has turned off its vaccine search tool. The vaccines.gov site now gives an error when you enter a valid zip code. They also removed text saying “Vaccines can help you stay healthy” and added a banner saying the site is being updated.

I think one thing we’ve seen pretty clearly is what a huge impact on voting whatever the hot topic is at election time and the media and its choices play an enormous role in that.

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.

“Merrick garland will save us” will live with me as long as I live because it was always about pacification and never about actually stopping fascism. Garland and others are as culpable for Trump 2 as any republican. They chose to let Trump run again and destroy the country. Garland chose this.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Handing back student work that’s been written by ChatGPT with a 0 followed by the comment “This essay will never stand in authentic wonder before the Beauty of God’s creation.”

Nice to hear a leader valuing human art and artists instead of asking AI to make a video where he literally shits on us from a jet. I don’t mean to be controversial but I think this is better.

One of my best friends was raised JW, and I asked him the other day if they believed in the devil, since they don’t believe in Hell. He said “Very much so.” And all I could think was, “But where does he LIVE?”

Also he’s more of a veterinarian than a human doctor!

There really should be an age limit for office. If we have minimum age requirements, there should also be a maximum. Not sorry. A big part of progress is in fact the youth pushing us forward, *with* guidance from elders. Not elders controlling the outcome.

i don't care about context, this post on its own is 🤌

It'd be a perfect expression of this man's incapability if the thing that finally got him fired were the Comey indictment failing, something entirely not his fault.

this movie better flop so hard

I see we've entered the making-movies-for-the-strongman phase of democratic decline.

Did the turkey also storm the Capitol on January 6th?

Y'know, if the Ag Dept plans to replace the export markets that Trump's tariffs cost U.S. farmers, guaranteeing import bans — or proof of non-contamination by forever chemicals — is a bassackwards way to go about it.

I bet “Fight Club” meetings are super cool! What a great squad of change makers in an institution resistant to but in need of massive change. Keep it up, expand the membership! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/u...

This whole article is great but I especially love this: “a lot of people on the progressive left do have a sophisticated understanding of what it’s going to take to deliver on a bold progressive agenda…it’s not just about only talking to your friends and using the mayor’s office as a soapbox.”

this is what ten years of obsession with "wokeness" in the media was trying to get to btw bsky.app/profile/mari...

Young people feel like we've lost agency over our lives. We can't *really* pick where to live, or whether to change jobs, or how many kids to have -- the cost of living makes us feel trapped. Younger candidates can powerfully speak to that emotional truth. talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/young-c...

MATTTTTT THE DEFUND POLICE PEOPLE ARE TALKING AGAIN. Quick, rally all the dudes with no expertise to explain why this is wrong.
