Winter isn't what it used to be. It's actually the fastest-warming season for much of the U.S. Since just 1970, winters (December - February) have warmed in 98% of 244 U.S. cities analyzed by 3.9°F on average. Do you wanna build a snowman with few of the details? 🧵

Of the 400 or so Code Talkers, only two are alive today: Peter MacDonald and Thomas H. Begay. Both men sat down with the Chicago Tribune this summer to talk about their experiences during the war and their hopes for the El Pueblo Motor Inn.

Damn, that's a lot of books. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/t...

Mobile Lounge Crashes at Dulles Airport, Causing Injuries and Damage www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u... I rode one of these a little over a week ago at Dulles. Horrible.

The Democrats caved. Their voters just had one simple demand of them - FIGHT. And meet this moment. And they couldn’t even do that. LIVE NOW ON SUBSTACK! And across social media. open.substack.com/live-stream/...

"I promise there will be a vote in December to extend healthcare subsidies. I mean it this time."

Think the Trump administration is only going after undocumented criminals? Watch this.

In a late night Saturday memo, the Trump administration told states through the FDA on Sunday that they must “immediately undo” any actions to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families, in a move meant to only add chaos and uncertainty. This is cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/09/b...

My new political party needs to immediately rediscover that this is a big, politically diverse country. Mamdani can’t win in South Carolina. I couldn’t win in NYC. We need ALL Dems - from super progressive to moderate/conservative - and run them where they can win. 💯 this.👇

Very worthy of a repost!

And while returning to the transfer point, it was attacked by a Russian drone, but the wounded man was not injured thanks to the armored capsule. The total length of the route was 64 km (of which 37 km - with a damaged wheel).

“This federal government has only been here just a speck amount of time. Tiny amount of time. And that’s what we’re here to remind the broader society.”

It's Native American Heritage Month and this is your daily reminder to support Native/Indigenous creators, artists, beaders, authors/storytellers/writers, etc... all year around and not just during Native American Heritage Month!

Remember during oral argument on the presidential immunity case when conservative justices scoffed at and mocked the hypothetical that a president with immunity could just start killing whoever he wanted and there was nothing that could be done if he has immunity?

Staff at the National Endowment of the Humanities made up just a small fraction of the federal civil service, but the loss has been incalculable - both for our agency, now nearly decimated, and for the American public who benefit from the #humanities, culture, history, and more. #NEH

The rain is also impacting some subway and bus service. Check the @mta.info app or visit their website before you travel. www.mta.info

Parts of Brooklyn, Queens + The Bronx are under a flash flood warning. Heavy rain and wind is creating dangerous conditions — please be careful as you move about the city. Sign up for alerts from NotifyNYC (a858-nycnotify.nyc.gov) and report any outages or conditions to 311.

So many own goals. Once again: higher ed is one of our most successful exports. We export more higher ed to China than soybeans. And yet Trump and the mini-Trumps are deliberately destroying the quality of our product

1/2 ICE violently detained a Virginia mother driving her daughter to school because she couldn’t recite her Social Security number from memory. “When she stumbled, the agent just lunged at her,” said her 16 yo. She showed her work permit, SS card, license, registration:ICE arrested her anyway.

The federal government keeps labeling everyone they go after as cartel members — and it keeps being proven false. These are the same people we’re supposed to trust when they execute people at sea under that very justification?

www.wdef.com/disease-carr... the zombie apocalypse is probably up next 🤦‍♂️

If the current administration ever ends, many people in (and around) it will need to be prosecuted. From influence peddling to flat-out murder, their crimes seem to accumulate each and every day.

An embarrassingly obvious point, but... This. Is. Illegal. If anything like the rule of law were in force, Trump couldn't arbitrarily increase a tariff because he is annoyed. In important and increasing ways, the rule of law in the US no longer exists. www.cnn.com/2025/10/25/b...

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

Gov. Gavin Newsom accuses Trump of using border agents to 'suppress the vote': "You send masked men to the cities you want to militarize," he told reporters at a news conference. "You dial it up around election time. … You suppress the vote." www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

The real plan may have been uncovered.

I have been watching the devastating videos from friends and colleagues. Some folks are still missing in cold waters. The few news and info sources for locals are also the same ones being cut by federal funding. People should know this is happening

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

This is infuriating. She excuses the orders as "preliminary," but that's an argument for applying settled law or preserving the status quo. Allowing POTUS to disregard Congressional appropriations and fire independent agency heads are neither, they're a radical restructuring of Constitutional order.

From Europe, we see this disaster for what it is: yet another way to weaken the weakest. I wouldn't know how to define it, but a compassionate policy toward the most vulnerable and uninformed certainly isn't...
