The markets are staying afloat right now on the hope that AI will destroy American workers. What a bleak thing. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/b...

The same big corporations that fund the Republicans who cut SNAP underpay their workers so much that they depend on it to survive. We need higher corporate taxes and a higher minimum wage. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/28/m...

Thanks, @chrisgeidner.bsky.social This must be said.

After Vox Media sold Polygon to Valnet, a few of us ended up at rogue.site, where we're doing reader-supported games writing, reviews, guides, podcasts.

Repeal the Hague Invasion Act and try everyone responsible, this is non-negotiable www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

White House aide Stephen Miller is yelling at the WSJ editorial page because, like the Geneva conventions, they condemn the collective punishment of an ethnic group

If an armed conflict existed, these acts would constitute war crimes. Given that no armed conflict exists, the killings fall outside LOAC and require evaluation under domestic criminal law. Based on the reporting, the conduct matches the elements of murder. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

America has gone full Nazi and it’s time to call out those accountable: Democrats not getting on board purging around a dozen trans athletes from the NCAA —Tomorrow in The NY Times from some tedious twat

This is the result of the CIA using children to kill people and yet a whole lot of people don’t want to recognize *American* culture, and in particular the culture of the War on Terror, at work here.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

Trump is to blame for her death. She should have been with family for the holidays, not performing dumb security theater for a fascist pedophile.

What’s crazy is that Christian’s literally stole Native American children

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

Spectacular #longread on the history of the right-wing opposition in Venezuela, and how during Juan Guaido's shadow government an abominable legal strategy robbed the country of $30 billion destined for corporate claims holders. Amazing work from Moe Tkacik. prospect.org/2025/11/26/3...

you're telling me a right-wing catholic convert is just a protestant in disguise? shocked

[has straight women thoughts]: god im just like my mother [has lesbian thoughts]: i'm such a sexist monster [has bisexual thought]: i should develop a substance abuse problem

Every year, I roundup the best Black Friday menswear sales. This year, I'm breaking up the list into two parts, as some stores have gotten an early jump. The list spans everything from J. Crew pieces to designer lines. Come back Friday for more deals. dieworkwear.com/2025/11/25/s...

This is similar nonsense to how the Trump admin talks about addressing historic backlogs in the immigration courts. The solution to backlogs are to hire more judges and staff, not to abolish due process. It’s not that hard!

I would decline to voluntarily cooperate. No way. Issue a subpoena and fight it out in court.

No bailouts. The US should extort these companies when the crash happens so they get minimal compensation in return for nationalizing the entire panopticon industry and then destroying it once harvested for socially useful parts. It won’t happen but it should

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Why shouldn't police abolitionists be included if pro-police people are?

Any time corporate executives are in a room together and don't know they're being recorded, the transcript is like: "Christ, I hate our customers. We're agreed that we all hate our customers? Let's lie to the IRS, criminally. Did I mention the Holocaust never happened? Put more lead in our soda."

You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

This part. Teachers are so undervalued and underpaid and loudly told both "you're essential" and also "you suck and if you say a word out of line, you might get fired and/or be targeted for harassment by the most powerful people in the country"

The idea that we get *less* migration from a destabilized Venezuela is madness.

What a rotten society we have. Elliott Abrams should only be able to get his opinions out in a self-published zine. He was involved in some of the worst crimes we committed in the last century and he's trying to keep the streak alive.

Thank you Kathy for the love you shared with my grandson this first year. And to all the other young lives you nurtured. And @steveahlquist.bsky.social sending deep sympathy to you and your family. Rest in peace and power Kathy.

ICE is terrorizing people across the country, including in our backyards. Our neighbors deserve access to due process.

It's my favorite day! It's the 38th anniversary of the Max Headroom signal broadcast intrusion! 1st incident lasted 25s during the 9PM news on WGN-TV in Chicago; The 2nd, 2hrs later, lasted ~90s on PBS affiliate WTTW during Dr. Who. You can watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqge...

these people basically just take luxury government jets and go to fancy events like make a wish kids while their minions flashbang your elderly neighbors

Congress wrote into the law that someone who overstays a visa while applying for asylum is not considered to be accruing “unlawful presence,” but it didn’t explicitly say those people couldn’t be arrested and detained — because it was presumed that they wouldn’t be. Well, Trump is doing it.

I wish Venezuela all the success in the world against the devil rogue US state

This is illegal, immoral, and the people who have been behind it should die in a prison cell. That includes the lawyers who are busy writing the legal justifications. They are criminals.

"He was a kind man, a good person, a friend. A good father, uncle, son. He was a cheerful person. He loved his work and his fishing." And he hasn't been seen since Trump announced one of his extrajudicial strikes on "narco-terrorists." www.bbc.com/news/article...

He often fudges this, but Cruz's father didn't flee Castro, he fled Batista.

no one has even bothered trying to convince us there’s a threat from Venezuela. no weapons of mass destruction. nothing. just a war of choice because why not.

A French ICC judge sanctioned by the US over the Netanyau arrest warrant says all his accounts with US companies have been closed, making it “like being sent back to the 1990s.” “Without sovereignty – military, health, financial and digital – we can no longer guarantee the rule of law,” he says.

True. Schumer and Jeffries look petulant, jealous, and stupid in comparison.

evil

Trump is filling his government with Nazis, consolidating authoritarian power, and eroding democracy at every chance. And yet these 86 House Democrats voted for a right-wing messaging amendment to say that the real authoritarians are the socialists. Pathetic.

At his confirmation hearings, Scalia was asked if it would have been OK for Reagan to pick him among other qualified candidates *because* of his Italian heritage, in order to make the Court more diverse. "No, I think that is a good thing," Scalia said. ballsandstrikes.substack.com/p/antonin-sc...

Pretty revealing, in my view, that Scalia spent his entire career ridiculing diversity and affirmative action for underrepresented groups, given that the Reagan White House put him on the Supreme Court in part because it really, really wanted to nominate the first-ever Italian American justice

This is seismic news. It's hard to overstate how big the implications are for both future prosecutions and wrongful convictions. This NJ decision could reshape how courts across the country treat shaken-baby expert testimony. news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/n...

two weeks apart

These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws. Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired. They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

Utterly incredible what happens to DHS’s claims in a real court

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos. I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

I will never let them take the em dash from me—they’ll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands
