We have a stunning story from @thomasbirm.bsky.social in @thenation.com. It's about how one of Israel's biggest companies, with deep ties to the IDF and illegal settlements, is taking over huge swathes of US real estate—with tenants paying the price. A MUST-read. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

first it's pensions, then it's healthcare, then vacation, finally it's the wages, pretty soon you're just going to one box to work all day for no money and going to another to get the rest of snap to eat, which sounds a lot like how they described the soviet union to me in the 80s but what do i know

So thrilled to share the launch of this new project, Vital Signs, with climate desk readers. @who.int says climate change threatens to erode 50 years of public health gains. What does that look like? We’ll be reporting from five continents. First story in the series: grist.org/health/valle...

We know this because he told us. The reality is the government was shut down the first day Trump entered office. We just didn't talk about it that way. The only real leverage Dems had is on appropriations. Schumer screwed that up in February/March for FY 26. It imperiled his political support.

This is so offensive I don’t even know where to start. “Vote blue no matter who and also shut the fuck up when those people betray you.” Nope. We will primary every senator who doesn’t call for Schumer to step down in the next 24 hours. You work for us.

Democrats helped Republicans kill a ten billion dollar industry in order to cave on the shutdown.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

primary schurmer. traitor. loser.

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

Know this, @schumer.senate.gov — if you cave, we will not rest until you are primaried and wrested from your seat. When kids on SNAP aren’t being fed, we’re even more hungry for justice. New York has shown you the people’s power just days ago. You *could* join with us, still, and do the right thing.

I honestly don’t get the value of this company. They hoover up energy and water. Their product constantly gets things wrong and, in extreme cases, coaches people into suicide. And it’s all built on what seems to be malicious and vast intellectual property theft. What does OpenAI offer the world?

40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine. We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/w...

An actual audit of police overtime, pursued by an honest agency, would end with a staggering number of people in jail

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.” The result was “institutionalized hunger.” @kristencrowell.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Speaker Johnson is officially keeping the House in recess again next week. This will be the eighth consecutive week the House has been out of session. The chamber hasn't met since Sept. 19. Adelita Grijalva, who was elected on Sept. 23, has not been sworn in.

AP reporter Regina Garcia Cano looked into a few of the men killed in Trump's extrajudicial strikes on Caribbean boats. "They were laborers, a fisherman, a taxi driver. Two were low-level career criminals. One was a local crime boss who contracted out smuggling services" apnews.com/article/trum...

We had fucking congressional hearings over Mortal Kombat.

I seem to remember whole congressional hearings about the terrible destructive force that is violence in video games and yet, there is a very strange quiet about an unregulated technology that coaches people to suicide.

Texas… it’s not just Grijalva…. #TrumpEpsteinFilesCoverUp

Nice of @nytimes.com to make clear that, whenever its dull conservative columnists complain about the evils of "feminism" or "liberal feminism," they of course mean "women."

give bill gates the dementia screening

"Criminals posing as US immigration officers have carried out robberies, kidnappings, and sexual assaults in several states" according to an FBI bulletin. Which, of course, gives ICE cover to commit the same crimes. "It wasn't us, it was different thugs, dressing up as us."

Wish I could be an aloof wife but unfortunately I never shut the fuck up

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

"An Arsenal fan is the mayor of New York City. Another Arteta masterclass."- @zeets.bsky.social

men suck

Seems like a good time for the Speaker of the House to swear in Rep. Grijalva.

another great night getting absolutely shit on by the people closest to me. i fucking hate this world so much

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work. Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours. She was later released with NO CHARGE. A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”. You decide…

“[Mamdani’s] presence wasn’t performative. It was pastoral. In a city that so often divides its grief by identity, he crossed the invisible line and simply showed up.” i love this forward.com/opinion/7805...

Trumpist rule consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: there must be a president and executive branch whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside its opponents and victims whom the law binds but does not protect. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/m...

You might note conservatives exclusively write these at outlets with large liberal readership. You and I know, say, Douthat is a conservative writing in bad faith, but many Times readers see the masthead and assume he's on the level. Don't print lies in the newspaper

Kristi Noem blasts “foreigners” for dangerous driving. According to the Rapid City Journal, that state’s court records show Noem had 20 speeding tickets dating back to 1989, alongside other violations, including failure to stop at an intersection and invalid license plates.

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

What Stuart Stevens says is perfectly obvious, and something you will not see reflected in any of the major media coverage.

Studies have shown that only 1 out of 5 Americans can correctly answer the question “Are you allowed to kill people with your car”

This billionaire is trolling hardworking educators—and making jokes about gutting supports for special needs kids.

Perfect response from @neguse.house.gov here. Watch this.

cool cool cool cool cool

americans need to push so hard for the factual and empathetic support of trans people, because it aint "gender mutilation" or whatever fake BS these idiots are trying to scare karen with. trans people are humans, and their rights to health care and safe living are literally human rights

This is ugly. But the reason this lady was protesting is even worse. ICE thugs detained two children and their father on their way to school. One child appears to have been beaten in detention, and no one seems to know where the 12-year-old girl is right now. The family had been seeking asylum.

every time a person knows more about how the world works they move away from the republican party "platform" (which they hide and diffuse) because no one who isn't pure evil would want ... that's why they want to defund education as a foundation of their program

there's an entire, very important, belgian cycling team in cyclocross sponsored by Pawels Sauces including their amazing Mayo!

Jerome Corsi, a conspiracy theorist who helped popularize QAnon back in 2018, claims he's involved with creating an upcoming Trump EO involving a "national emergency" targeting voter rolls, mandating voter ID, & requiring proof of citizenship. Corsi's also implied the military may be involved.
