Protecting women 12 year wait for her rape kit to be processed. “Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said the DNA evidence that led to Bulle’s conviction was found among 1,758 untested sexual assault kits that the Minneapolis auditor discovered in 2019.”

Climate knowledge has been taken hostage to prevent climate action. “It didn’t happen by accident. It’s the product of a deliberate and systematic assault on knowledge by some of the richest people on Earth. Preventing climate breakdown means protecting ourselves from the storm of lies.”

In his futile attempt to justify Musk's $1 trillion pay package, this Musk fluffer overlooks: -Musk's tax rate on his $450BN is only 2.5% so far. -Tesla & SpaceX received $3.7BN of US subsidies & loans. -SpaceX has $22BN in US govt contracts. -Tesla has received $22BN in US ZEV/GHG/IRA credits.

THIS should be a headline. UN & Palestinians threatened by US “According to a draft of the text seen by the AFP news agency, it would authorise a two-year mandate running until the end of 2027 for a transitional governance body in Gaza – known as the “Board of Peace” – that Trump would chair.”

The US mission to the UN warned Palestinians could suffer "grave consequences" if the body did not back its plan soon.

About half of what it was going to cost to fully fund SNAP in November during the shutdown.

My parents 86/89 went to a church event tonight that welcomed all denominations but was about the threat of CN (Christian Nationalism) They’re going to designate “watchers” to attend school board meetings who will be on alert for members/candidates pushing CN influence! #minnesota #nationalism

When armed agents stormed Rayito de Sol, a Spanish-immersion daycare, parents like Maria Guzman say their children witnessed terror—not justice.

At what point do slightly narcissistic tech sales guys turn into international villains with insatiable thirst for unmitigated global domination & social control at the expense of billions of lives & the planet’s survival? youtu.be/K7wufpKdCGc?...

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected. And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.* Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

While at UC Berkeley I read much of Reich’s work - he’s a gifted Professor capable of simplifying the micro & macro economics of inequality & growth. Free course for you to better arm your intellect! @rbreich.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

I didn’t get to take a course w/ @rbreich.bsky.social while at Berkeley (he was in DC then) I studied global governance, economics dev. & political sociology. I felt helpless at 21, proclaiming: “The US is becoming like Brazil, death of the middle class!” 20 years later… education matters

tá faltando marx aí.... o agente do enriquecimento não é a pessoa, mas o capital. ser um sujeito inteligente, cultivado, elevado não é pré-requisito pra ser rico. se tiver alguma relação, é no sentido contrário.

Epstein was born in 1953 Most likely he would have only used a typewriter for the first 30 years of his life.. considering he “taught” math (not literature) his need to type would have been minimal He most likely learned the chicken pecking method as many men did before computers in classrooms

Statement from the FBI Agents Association after Director Kash Patel fired, unfired then re-fired several agents who had worked on cases targeting Trump and allies. Complete shambles.

Wow. Apparently bogus credit card fees, predatory lending & collections, hidden service charges are legal and Consumer fraud protection is now illegal … I bet he kicks puppies. I hate people who kick dogs.

Now will all rounded up transactions go into a community fund to say - Protect our public lands from copper mining? That’s my 2 cents!!

Why is it so complicated? Everyone freaking out about how a college dropout who wore a Harvard sweatshirt to create an illusion of intellect could be a piss poor speller. Epstein was a dealer The drug was docile teens His customers didn’t worry about who, how, where…. He delivered.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Amazing that a talent booker for MSNBC Lawrence O’Donnell was how a Senator learned he could subpoena records from the Epstein Estate ..all because the right lawyer & Senator were both on his show 120 days ago Ripples become waves Kick more rocks!

The Joyce Carol Oates party on X almost tempted me to log on..

Good morning. Not just Black Friday, rather today and every day because clearly they still aren't listening so let's hit 'em where it hurts. Drastically reduce spending now 🧜🏼‍♀️💙

BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: Senator Whitehouse asked the BOP for Ghislaine Maxwells sex offender waiver, custody level, transfer code, and security point score. I have them. She's also been granted the ability to leave the facility for work assignments. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

COP30 : “Humanity won’t survive past 2100” Global leaders: “those people are a threat!” Tech: “AI will save the planet” Climate Scientists: “We have the solutions!” Trump: “Evil wokeness” Investors: “Don’t tax ME” Media: “Must have holiday gifts” Me: “Is ignorance still bliss?”

As #COP30 opens, one climate threat remains taboo: #militarism. The U.S. military emits more greenhouse gases than entire nations, yet its 750+ global bases are exempt from climate deals. COP30 must confront this silence!

Today in History: November 9, 1989 Communist East Germany threw open its borders, allowing citizens to travel freely to the West for the first time in decades.

ICE vehicles waste a whopping 80% of the energy in their fuel. Electric vehicles are propelled by entirely different mechanisms. Energy enters the vehicle as electricity, which directly powers the drivetrain: EVs need not convert one form of energy to another resulting in much higher efficiency.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

SNAP participants can double their spending at their local farmers market or farm stands through a national initiative known as the Double Up Bucks food program. The policy council gives each customer wooden tokens, and if they spend $40, they will receive an additional $40 to spend.

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

"Everything that China does is covered by the national security law in China, and that means every single company has to co-operate with the Chinese authorities in handing over data." Shock, horror, China flexes its muscles and puts backdoors in foreign products.

A bunch of us in my apartment building are helping a single mother with two small children because she didn't get her SNAP benefits this month.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Here’s the list of the eight Democrats who caved: ⚫️ Catherine Cortez Masto ⚫️ Dick Durbin ⚫️ John Fetterman ⚫️ Maggie Hassan ⚫️ Tim Kaine ⚫️ Angus King ⚫️ Jackie Rosen ⚫️ Jeanne Shaheen Their excuses don’t hold water. They betrayed all Americans who were counting on them to stand firm and keep fighting.

This isn't getting anywhere NEAR enough attention 👇

From a Scientist… Detroit Lions vs Washington Commanders. At least he brings people together …in shared disgust.

Indiana U sociology Prof was removed when a student complained to a Congressman about this graphic being shown in class. White boys crying Daddy again… Therefore it seems appropriate to share. Source: (IG) @wfiu.bsky.social

Until the people who bake their cakes, drive their cars, serve & dance for THEM keeps showing up - THEY DO NOT CARE “Trump administration demands states 'undo' full SNAP payouts as states warn of 'catastrophic impact'

Can you blame me for not wanting to leave the safety of my dream world cocoon? Plus, they’re on my legs, I can’t move. 🤷🏽‍♀️

In 2001, terrorists tried to destroy the White House with a hijacked plane. 24 years later, the president of the United States accepted a plane from people funding terrorists and destroyed the White House himself.🔄

“ICE is quietly building up its ability to spy on Americans' phones The agency activated a $2 million contract with Paragon, a service that offers the ability to remotely hack into someone's phone. [Also] ICE entered into an $11 million contract for Cellebrite devices…to break into a locked phone”

“In a world in which Justice Jackson either knew or suspected that at least five of the justices would grant temporary relief to the Trump administration if she didn’t, the way she structured the stay means that she was able to try to control timing of the Supreme Court’s (forthcoming) review”

Earlier this year, I provided commentary to PBS Frontline for its investigation into the rise of the far-right Alternative for Germany. The programme is now out, examining the forces behind the German far right’s growing appeal and the roles played by Russia and the US: www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontli...

NEW: Judge Ellis will be issuing a preliminary injunction against federal agents in Chicago - a more permanent version of her earlier temporary restraining order.

🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

More WINNING. ⚖️ 🥪 “Man who threw sandwich at federal agent in Washington is found not guilty of assault charge.”

I think we need to aggressively reframe who & what Trump is: a brand ambassador. He was successful as a character for WWE He was successful as a “reality show” lead. The network hid the reality. He licenses the name. A brand stuck in 80s “all flash no cash” Expose the brand corruption!

We're halfway through the week, folks. Whether you're furloughed, excepted, exempted, or just watching this shutdown drama, take care of yourselves and get a good night of sleep. Because that's what we're off to do now GN 💚
