As the former President of South Korea serves a life sentence for his role in a failed insurrection, his wife just got sentenced to 7 years in prison for bribery. The US could learn a lot from South Korea what accountability looks like for power-hungry, corrupt grifters. youtu.be/nAUksLhLSKs?...

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com "Trump's approval ratings are the political equivalent of green algae in the Reflecting Pool," Jamelle Bouie says on this episode of "The Opinions." "Republicans, I think, are beginning to distance themselves from him, but I think it’s a bit too late."

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

Good coverage of yesterday's events in Selma and Montgomery. We may not have wanted to be in this play, but the this is where you go to learn from those who came before how to act when you are called to this stage. www.al.com/news/birming...

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Iran, please wait in line until your number is called.

The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution. This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American. They must be released immediately.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

The Noem statement playing up the forged threats is still up on the DHS website, along with additional false claims about the victim.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

This is a shameful betrayal. Trump's so-called peace plan is a blatant surrender document that forces Ukraine to disarm and cede territory to Putin. It's an utter abdication of American leadership that rewards Russian aggression.

Nearly 30 countries refuse to sign a final #COP30 agreement that doesn't include "fossil fuel phase-out," as negotiations head into overtime. Live updates from @fionaharvey.bsky.social, @olliemilman.bsky.social and @theguardian.com here: www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Really interesting thread here 🧪

I've been avoiding reading articles on the death of James Watson, co-discoverer of #DNA's structure. That is, until I saw that @statnews.com published one by Sharon Begley, a renowned science writer who passed in 2021. Yes, you read that right. www.statnews.com/2025/11/07/j... 🧪 (1/5)

For those who don't know, the Nobel laureate had a long history of truly vile remarks. In fact, he seemed to revel in his status as an unapologetic bigot. Rather than glaze him for his extensive contributions to science, Begley presents a complete picture of a controversial figure. 🧪 (4/5)

Human biomass movement may be up to 40 times greater than that of all land animals combined, according to research in Nature Ecology & Evolution. A second Nature Communications paper finds that wild mammal biomass has more than halved since 1850. go.nature.com/4oID33i go.nature.com/3LhSD7n 🧪

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.
