I don't know how any reasonable adult in politics and media looks at the clear, irrefutable evidence that's come to light in the past week and doesn't immediately conclude that Pete Hegseth has almost certainly overseen and tacitly condoned war crimes.

“That this level of loss is happening to a tree long known for its hardiness, able to withstand sizzling heat and excruciatingly dry summers, not to mention the usual outbursts of pine beetles and blight and wildfires, is indicative of just how deeply we’ve altered conditions on the planet.”

Nightmare before Christmas ☠️ 🌲 Happy holidays, everyone.

The CEO of Google admits that Google search provides more accurate information that the company’s AI. He acknowledges that Google search is "more grounded in providing accurate information."

Our political scale has been distorted & propagandized by the corrupt elite to make basic empathy a radical political ideology. But it's not. Our barometer is off & a dangerous sociopathy has been the norm for way too long. That's how we got here: being conditioned into hyper individuality.

No offense but I think we underestimate how many of our current problems, both cultural and political, are downstream of the decline in reading, the decline in learning and the loss of interest in the humanities.

Pub crawls may be all the rage, I truly believe there could be an immense market for library crawls, bakery crawls, museum crawls, café crawls, bookstore crawls, and greenhouse crawls.

Remember when Amazon held a sale during Independent Bookstore Day in an effort to undercut indie bookstores? We didn’t forget. Support local bookstores during Small Business Saturday and beyond.

Black Friday

Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice. 📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber. Prosecute her and everyone involved.

Earlier I distinguished the difference between socialism & social democracies (nordic capitalism). Someone asked me why socialism is bad. In good faith I answered with this thread: 🧵👇 Then they blocked me. 🥸 I wonder if this was a block-worthy assessment of socialism. 🤷‍♀️

Can I say that I love explaining American holidays to my young Indian coworker and slipping in the parts about how everything is really a lie perpetuated by capitalism?

NO LIES TOLD....

The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food. The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of what are called "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

therapist: pick your battles me: okay helm’s deep

Meet the AI workers who tell their friends and family to stay away from AI

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

Imagine being one of those CEOs or school presidents who bowed down to this weird old man, then realizing he doesn’t like you as much as he likes this guy who didn’t bow at all

(📢) What Trump did today was not a SHOULD impeach, it was a MUST impeach. He said anyone who challenges his authority—an authority he doesn’t have—to give illegal orders to the military must be executed. That is a prima facie case for impeachment. Articles should be drawn up.

Wow! Jesse Welles performed his song “Join ICE” on the Colbert Show last night. 🏆

This is a nuts story. An AI chatbot and image platform left millions of images exposed. They show what people are actually using the AI for: taking random women's yearbook, graduation, and social media photos and making super realistic hardcore porn with them www.404media.co/ai-porn-secr...

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

Let’s all watch the Epstein file saga unfold (sleight of hand to distract us) so we miss the Republicans destroying the best things about our country - like our environment.

Release the files, piggy.

And Trump is just the man of all men. The most Alpha Male of the Alpha Men. The excesses of a man's world come to a head. A world that never let women balance it out.

79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5. He’s been taken by ICE in Florida. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/11/16/s...

Epstein survivors just dropped a powerful message for Congress, and it hits like a warning: no more waiting, the truth is coming, ready or not. Watch till the end @housedemocrats.bsky.social @houserepublicans.bsky.social

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

Anatomy of a trump lie. I didn’t do it It’s a hoax That’s a forgery I don’t recall I didn’t know him well I used to but not recently Democrat hoax BIDEN Oh look a squirrel. Start a war (trade or otherwise)

the only thing democrats should be saying today is “the entire republican party is engaged in a coverup of the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world history”

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

That one time when President Obama caught a fainting pregnant woman during a speech

Well, frankly, oligarchs actually should be nervous

Surround yourself with the kind of people who appreciate, defend, and respect the Oxford comma.

Obama: They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and D.E.I. For every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? D.E.I.. Wife mad at you? D.E.I..

Thou marble-hearted fiend

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming. Vital reporting from @ellenbarry.bsky.social and Jason DeParle:

The First Amendment protects our right to joke — even if the federal government isn't laughing with us. In our latest installment of Press in Peril, we examine how the Trump administration's attempt to censor Jimmy Kimmel earlier this year threatens our right to freedom of expression.

Karoline Leavitt officially announced the "Launch of a large-scale investigation to find the people behind 'No Kings.'" I've saved her some time.

Starving people right before Thanksgiving is actually diabolical on every level imaginable. It's also the kind of cruelty people don't forget.

Tim Walz: "People are gonna be lined up out here to get food, and we're talking about a damn ballroom. Don't lose the plot."

BREAKING: Joe Biden speaks for the first time after completing radiation therapy while receiving a lifetime achievement award in Boston. Biden: "This is no give to give up. It's time to get up. Get up now. GET UP!"

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.

This is the ad Donald Trump woke up furious about. Would be a shame if it went viral.

rushing to integrate undercooked, misrepresented, and misunderstood technology into every corner of our lives just so a handful of terrible people could make more money might have been a bad idea

Karl, the difference between us and them is they're constantly thinking of how to gain more power and we're constantly looking for reasons for why we'll lose power. I truly think the problem here is a knee-deep commitment to believing things will get worse, and it needs to stop. I can't do it.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.
