I teach college courses and students don’t even buy their books. I require them to answer a short essay final exam series of questions and cite the book’s chapter and page number related to each question. That forces them to finally have to obtain and read the book.

The US voted with Russia, China and N. Korea against most of the civilized world. This is where we are at.

I encourage everyone to watch The Perfect Neighbor on Netflix.

My highlight of the week so far: the latest South Park episode #crapout

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

Everything Trump touches is transactional.

For my husband and me- our monthly premium is going from $1200 to $2300

As an American, I feel like I need to apologize to the world every day. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-world...

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

And even if you're right, the punishment for drug smuggling isn't death.

Glad they are prioritizing the important stuff.

Future: Remember that time when people let a president literally and figuratively tried to destroy a democracy? (Key word tried)

PIERS: “You’re not gay?” FUENTES: “No. But women are very difficult to be around.” P: “Should they vote?” F: “No.” PIERS: “They should stay home?” FUENTES: “Yeah.” PIERS: “So you’re just a misogynistic dinosaur. Have you ever had sex?” FUENTES: “No.” PIERS: “Wow. Says the guy who never got laid.”

Of. Course. Trump is using DOJ to go after political enemies/foes for so-called "mortgage fraud" -- people like NY AG Letitia James & Sen Adam Schiff Problem is... @propublica.org has uncovered documents suggesting Trump & several of his cabinet officials would be guilty of the same "fraud."

Raise your hand if you think MT Greene is planning on running for president. She is a nut case but also has made a bold move resigning. She didn’t do it just because of death threats (awful as they may be).

Hoping the judge still has a moral compass, because clearly the leadership of this country is sorely lacking. Absolutely sickening.

You have the right to record ICE. You have the right to film any operation happening in public as long as you do not interfere or impede it. Your camera is proof, but keep a safe distance. KEEP RECORDING.

The drunken rapist war criminal sure is a psycho.

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Trump is attacking female reporters personally! 3 in the last few weeks. So where are the news organizations? Other Reporters? Why aren’t they fighting this? Oh - that’s right. Billionaire news owner daddy says it’s all good. This is disgusting and we need to get loud about this!

Cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling pharmaceutical products of all time, with total sales of over $100 billion. It’s also extraordinarily expensive, costing nearly $1,000 for each pill, even though that pill costs just 25 cents to make. By @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social

JD Vance — begs folks to be patient with an economy he admits is bad. Trump — brags it’s the greatest ever. I’ve said it so many times, Republicans stay synced and on message even when the message is a lie, but this slip tells a story. There’s chaos behind the scenes and the wheels are coming off.

This is from August.

Some good news

Border Patrol agents have arrived in Charlotte. We'll share a few resources in this thread for those looking to document and protest this agency's reckless deployment in our neighbors' streets. 🧵 www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/a...

Trump is mad at Seth Meyers for reminding everyone that Trump is central in the Epstein emails. #Epstein bsky.app/profile/late...

We found that a company with deep ties to Kristi Noem secretly got money from DHS contracts. “It’s corrupt, is the word,” a contract law expert said. “Hiding your friends as subcontractors is like playing hide the salami with the taxpayer.”

All while Trump's building a ballroom as a monument to himself and holding parties for his rich friends at his palatial Florida estate. Food stamps are back, but millions will soon lose benefits permanently

The presidency is a side gig for Trump‘s grift.

I used to wonder how all those people let the Nazi’s do what they did. And, here we are in a similar situation. Beyond shock and awe, I feel so frustrated that I cannot do more to stop it.

Every day there are multiple instances of blatant corruption. Our government policy is for sale to the highest bidder and every bad actor in the world knows it. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/w...

NEW: FBI Director Kash Patel granted waivers to Deputy Director Dan Bongino and two newly hired senior FBI staff, exempting them from polygraph exams normally required to gain access to America’s most sensitive classified information, officials said.

The Trump administration can afford $40 BILLION to bail out Argentina and $2 BILLION for Hegseth to rename the Department of Defense. But making sure Americans can afford healthcare? Too wasteful, according to every person who voted for Trump’s spending bill. #StopRepublicanPremiumHikes

It actually costs a lot more, relatively, to produce a nickel than a penny. Also, there are lots of adverse impacts to bus. from eliminating the penny. Another fed’l move that doesn’t adequately consider full impacts or transition. Also, bus’s will be rounding prices up. Enjoy another increase all!

The entire Congress should be replaced next fall. What a bunch of sellouts. Hope they are happy with their airline lobbyists money.

Name them.

At least they haven’t destroyed the CBS Sunday Morning Show yet.

JUST IN: Courts ordered SNAP payments to restart, and the Trump administration said Monday the food benefits would be half the normal payment. About 1 in 8 U.S. residents get an average of $187 a month per person on SNAP.

Thank goodness 60 Minutes wasn’t afraid to devote time on their important, in-depth news program to Guinness World Records. There’s nothing more important to cover in investigative news right now. Thank goodness they took the journalistic risk to cover it.

Hats off to Southpark’s Halloween episode Lady in the Hat.

3/3

Video 2/2 Post 2/3 We have not been this far from civilized since water hoses were used to take out the eyes of black people fighting for basic human rights.

🚨🔫Pulled on citizens. Video from different angle, broken in 2 parts because this MUST be seen. This 🧊 commits aggravated assault against the man on the ground. Video 1/2 Post 1/3

WTF. Everyone, cameras out. Get it all on video.

Shapiro: I just heard from a woman who spoke at the press conference where I announced the disaster declaration. She’s got 30 bucks left on her SNAP card to get her through the holidays here in November…

Dozens of photographs of uniformed immigration agents shot by Chicago Sun-Times photojournalists in four separate locations since the court order show how the feds have fallen short. trib.al/XP5Wq9T

Trump planned to hide the East Wing destruction from us. "Rather than weigh the consequences of erasing the 123-year-old building’s history, the president’s first concern was reportedly how to keep its potential destruction hidden from the public." www.thedailybeast.com/trump-ordere...

Look at THIS #ICELawlessness! Is this freedom? This is in a school. See the disregard for this little girl's safety. Not 1 Republican elected is speaking out against this violence (in MANY cases against US CITIZENS). Vote for Democrats & #VoteYesOnProp50 & the PA judges to save democracy!

The most disturbing thing about SNAP ending on November 1st and healthcare premiums increasing is that there are many people it will affect who have no clue as to what's going on. These are the types who say: "I'm not into politics." Well, politics are definitely into YOU.🔥☕️
