I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

I spit on the reputation of the U.S. Supreme Court, not that it can get much more degraded than it has already become by the repulsive actions of its disgusting GOP members. You can hear the transphobic sneer in these words.

I don't think it's even right to say the voting public doesn't care. I think the truth is a lot of voters may generally find trans identity moderately confusing but also *none of their business*. on the other hand, they find an obsession with harming trans people - say it with me - deeply weird.

Looks like American air travel is already fucked and getting more so, in the wake of Duffy’s 10% reduction announcement. Hold onto your butts. nasstatus.faa.gov

HAPPENING NOW: Judge McConnell is sharply rebuking the Trump administration for what he said was defying his order to make full SNAP payments by Nov. 5. He has ordered USDA to make the *full* payment to states by tomorrow.

Judge Ellis is on the bench this morning about to rule in the case about DHS's use of force in Chicago. Things are not going well for DHS — she just accused Gregory Bovino of lying under oath about his use of force.

Thread of Judge Ellis' statement from the bench. Incredible.

Ellis: "The government would have people believe, instead, that the Chicagoland area is in a vice hold of violence, ransacked by rioters and attacked by agitators. That simply is untrue. And the government's own evidence in this case belies that assertion."

Ellis begins by quoting from Carl Sandburg's "Chicago": www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazi...

Is Douthat gonna get the central story in the NYT every other day now? And totally transparent escalating headlines and topics to drive a Negative Attention economy. Click-bait now is the Grey Lady calling, like a Murdoch rag. Perfect example of the SIRENS CALL @chrislhayes.bsky.social

The last 10 years have conditioned the national political dialogue about 'what is the Democratic party brand' as really 'who is THEIR cult of personality?' We reject it. We shall have a coalition. We shall have a party of democracy that reflects a nation of democracy.

Okay this is…shocking? "Doctored" is a way nicer word than any editor would use if they found out someone took quotes from completely different documents, chopped them up, and stitched them together as one quote that omits *directly contradictory context.* www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

This AP story immediately following the 2021 election said the results in NJ and VA were a "warning...to Democrats that their grip on power in Washington may be in peril."

JUST IN: Nancy Pelosi, the first female speaker of the House, won't seek re-election, ending a nearly 40-year career in Congress.

Really should be the only 'wing' Lindz!

luckily after tuesday, the trump administration is soberly focusing on economic issues that matter, like shutting down 10% of US flights and depriving people of food

When Republicans win elections: The people have spoken, we must let them implement their agenda. When Democrats win elections: This totalitarian FREAK must be prevented from implementing the policies he ran on nypost.com/2025/11/05/o...

With the NVIDIA prop that 'China will win AI'... its all a pretty transparent shakedown for taxpayer dollars. Leverage national security and economic fears to get elite consensus to hand over everything.

People will be mad at me for saying this, but I think we have to do it. Nothing is more important for the future of this country, and indeed humanity, than the app that makes you schizophrenic and helps you forget how to learn. The juice is worth the squeeze.

The biggest uncalled election is the SEATTLE mayoral race. Mayor Bruce Harrell leads Katie Wilson by 11,183 votes (or 8.2%), with 137K ballots counted. Why is this not over? Here's what we know. ⬇️

Is there any chance today's electoral results in US prompt a course change among the various elites who'd memed themselves into thinking Trumpism was the will of the people and the wave of the future etc?

Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

[P] Found a higher-quality photo; IT *IS* TAPED UP SHEETS OF PAPER!

just want to reiterate that the first amendment isn't something you "hide behind," it's something that constrains the government's ability to limit your inalienable rights. that distinction is very important

i will never be embarrassed for genuinely thinking voting is a sacred act

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

Treating pluralistic society as a zero-sum game where one group can only benefit if another suffers — which is basically what this article does — is the morally bankrupt worldview that needs to be fundamentally rejected. We can, and need to, lift each other up (and make common sacrifices).

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

if you're in line to bribe Eric Adams, stay in line

it's insanely funny for people to be talking like this about New York of all places, the city with a big metal lady in the harbor holding a sign that says "we love immigrants"

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody. Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.
