20-year-old West Virginia National Guard member, Sarah Beckstrom, died a day after volunteering to serve in DC so that others could enjoy Thanksgiving with their families. She deserves our gratitude, not political exploitation by a shameless president who scapegoats immigrants to swell his power.

This is the NY Times’ idea of an informative update on the DC shooting:

ICE will not be abolished by the ruling class. It must be ended by the working class.

Hochul has iron tits. Stefanik is an empty bra

And, very broadly, left to their own devices, even very powerful women do not have “fucking a kid” on their bucket lists. (Unless they are trying to cozy up to a powerful man.). Are we just out of step, that the sheer amount of kid-diddling going on everywhere and every day should be a surprise?

Trump is pure id-monster narcissism and as such, is hardly worth analyzing. But JD Vance? Reams of scholarly study will be composed about his slimy character. He’s easily the most disgusting figure to ever bubble up onto a presidential ticket.

Ya know, I don’t hate gray rainy weather or snow. What I can’t stand is people who bitch about it incessantly. Nobody promised you 365 days of sunshine, so shut the fuck up.

We had the Jerry Rescue, now the Jeremy Rescue. www.syracuse.com/news/2025/11...

Thoughts on street corner protests in cities and towns where there is no overt ICE presence. It’s usually the same 50-60 people each week, usually carrying the same signs as last week. People honk. Angry trucks rev. This person smiles and cheers as they drive by. Someone else yells “Trump forever!”

Jason Brown, age 30 and you still make hearts sing. Never quit!

Until American politicians can stop talking about the goals and desires of the “middle class” and start talking about the needs and gifts of the poor, there is no way forward. Thank you, AOC.

I don’t know how you can state it any plainer: Democrats would not stand up for health care for those of modest means but disrupt their flights and OMG, THINGS ARE NOT WORKING. Again… it’s like they are daring their base to embrace socialist policies and… socialists

Shaheen and Hassan are only there because New Hampshire is full of assholes, change my mind

WHO VOTED YES??

No more business as usual if Schumer and Gillibrand cave. One or both of them will need to be primaried! The @onondagadems.bsky.social must know that we didn’t gather on streets all year, and vote them in to county and towns this week, just to have to sit by and watch the GOP gut ACA!

Ladies and gentlemen: all rise for the national anthem of the Great Lakes. youtu.be/9vST6hVRj2A?...

“its Trader Joe’s and it’s almond danish. I know their baked goods are lousy but how can you screw up almond dani—- Oh.”

“Yeah, that’ll buff right out”

This is likely an unpopular opinion but I have never understood the need to separate men’s and women’s sports. Someone explain this to me. It seems so arbitrary. At the same time, I think more activities involving manual dexterity and basic common sense should also be Olympic sports.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Watching RFK jr run away from someone collapsing feels like a harbinger of things to come

“I heard this specifically from Republican voters: ‘Anybody but a Republican.’ Whether it was my own mother, or a 67- or 68-year-old woman who almost shut the door on me, I saw a high level of unprecedented hate for this president.” www.syracuse.com/politics/cny...

GOP cannot “distance themselves.” Ever. Sorry. Not sorry.

I don’t think the pundits are commenting enough on the local bloodbaths dealt to the GOP far and wide. Voters went to the polls last night to chew gum and shitkick Republicans.

Perinton, NY just elected its first Democratic town supervisor since the Civil War. Suck on that, Elise.

To my non American followers… what you probably won’t read in your news is how TOTAL the repudiation of Republicans was in New York - outside of the city. We are talking county legislatures, town councils and village trusteeships here. Last night was a collective public vomiting at the ballot box.

Oh. My. God. #whatishappening

I'm glad Dick Cheney isn't alive to see Mamdani win because I'm glad Dick Cheney isn't alive.

Very few people in NY State who aren’t living in a city or village, have the opportunity to tell Republicans “fuck you” at their local neighborhood level. As resident of one of just 12 towns in NYS to elect councilors by ward, I gladly did my duty early this morning.

My Trump voting neighbor seems to deal with things by studiously avoiding TV news. She thinks that this “keeps her pure” apparently. Bad stories breed bad feelings! Must avoid!

Yeah, I. Can’t stay up for another 18 inning game. Good luck jays.

Uh-oh. #worldseries

Am I the only one steadfastly remembering the lights of my childhood in order to mentally withstand the vileness that surrounds us these days? youtu.be/nCUGMMEF2Zk?...

Except it’s not just a “sex predator” structure, it’s also a thieving and death-dealing structure… markpshea.com/2025/10/28/t...

Why is ABC News previewing “federal workers lining up at food banks” instead of “working poor getting SNAP cut off”? The American media is always so complicit in looking away from the poor.

The Erie Canal is the mother of upstate New York and of NYC’s growth into a great city… and other cities too.. Happy 200th birthday today! chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2...

I realize that there are many lapsed Catholics out there who have no intention of returning to the church. If you can find it in your heart to do even more to actively support immigrants and the poor, or just pray according to your own lights. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Why is Phil Hartman dead and not able to play this guy

dear US friends, when a sitting president (re)builds the seat of government, it almost always means the president has no intention of leaving at the end of term. your African friends with decades of experience

“With the abuse of vulnerable migrants, we are not witnessing the legitimate exercise of national sovereignty, but rather serious crimes committed or tolerated by the state. Increasingly inhumane—even politically celebrated—measures are being taken” - Leo repeating it louder, for those in the back.

Cancelled my Spotify last night. I can’t speak to other alternatives, but Tidal has a very quick and easy service that will import all your playlists from Spotify. My musical tastes are fairly obscure and Tidal had everything in my catalog. #spotify #cancelspotify

On Sunday, this little boat will slip into NYC in the shadow of the skyscrapers along the Hudson. It has spent a month traveling from Buffalo, bringing white pine saplings to plant at every stop along the way. The Seneca Chief making the 200th anniversary voyage to honor the Erie Canal.

So very proud to be a citizen of New York State.

When Tish James walks into a courthouse tomorrow — the target of a political prosecution demanded by a President obsessed with revenge — she does not walk in alone. New York has her back. Grateful to Governor Hochul for bringing us together tonight.

this situation of mine was the precise situation of every mortal that breathes

You know, doesn’t matter what party you are: destroying the East Wing is the destruction of the work of Eleanor Roosevelt, Jackie Kennedy, Pat Nixon, Roslyn Carter, Laura Bush, Hillary Clinton… literally an attack on women, on the First Ladies. WT everliving F.
