You’re all sad. I’m gonna smoke weed and workout.

Photographer Martin Parr just passed. If you don't know his work, the Guardian has a really nice introduction here. h/t @wvschaik.bsky.social

New from me: Once again Trump launched racist attacks against an immigrant community. He does it because these are his views, because it gets him attention, and because he builds power by inciting harm and violence. www.altrightdelete.news/p/the-white-...

Mamdani releases video overviewing Know Your Rights if you see ICE + promises to protect New Yorkers and the right to protest, specifically in response to anti-ICE action last Saturday that stopped a massive raid. Comes following question from me asking for his comment on that action.

without birthright citizenship in the united states, you don't have a democracy and you don't have rule of law. revoking birthright citizenship gives fascists free rein to purge the country of literally anyone they don't like. it opens the door to atrocities and mass murder. i am not exaggerating.

Ian’s the best

If you want to make a very tangible difference in the lives of unhoused people in DC during a nasty cold snap, Remora House is where to put your money. I just bought a tent off their wishlist for them. It’s easy

I can’t tell you how glad I am to be released from the disgrace of Temu ACIP. I made a commitment to watch and comment on these proceedings. Not sure I’ll do it again. In summary, ACIP is no longer a legitimate scientific body. Every U.S. state needs to decouple their vaccine policy from ACIP.

The NYT photo desk FTW. www.nytimes.com/athletic/685...

I think you’re all a little weird if we’re being honest

A+. Perfect. 10/10. No notes.

its the gop kill kids agenda the democrats need to be on this

I’m beyond tired with liberalism taking solace in dissents from the liberal justices. THEY ARE MEANINGLESS WORDS. THE DISSENTS MEAN NOTHING.

90% of the shit we see the GOP doing the Democrats could have done, within the law just outside the norms. They could have tested the borders of acceptability to make life better for millions. They made an active choice not to do it + they fucked us over for it www.oliverexplains.com/p/eff-rules-...

“There is a risk that the focus on the second strike and specifically the talk of ‘war crimes’ feeds into the administration’s false wartime framing and veils the fact that the entire boat-strikes campaign is murder, full stop.”

“I might be a Nazi-friendly talk-show host possessed by the ghost of John Barleycorn, but I still have a sense of humor. What’s not funny, though, is some pimply journalist trying to defame me by reporting my words verbatim.”

Rolling Stone: clearly documents a 30+ year long con job. A rural county's own leadership lined their pockets by helping ag interests destroy the water supply. Everyone who read the article apparently??: Amazon data centers did this in 2011 www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

some anti-trans shithead emailed me to say dumb anti-trans shit so i told him what to do

@nytimes.com It’s common courtesy to cite sources. You should credit Marisa.

hey @nytimes.com i had the scoop on this story hours ago. add a reference in your story to my name and outlet. thanks. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/u...

It's funny that Hegseth calls himself "Secretary of War" and the admin talks about the "Department of War" when that's just... an unofficial rebrand. Congress never changed it. He's the Secretary of Defense, legally. They're just doing a bit. They changed the website to war dot gov and everything.

A surprise closure of a hospital in Humacao has left 150 employees unemployed, raising serious concerns about public health services in Puerto Rico. 1.pasqu.in/sJSstx

Fox’s right-wing stars scrambled to downplay Hegseth’s use of Signal to share classified info. A new DOD report is about to dismantle those excuses.

My story on the USIP raid from March (helpful context for why Trump putting his name on the building today is so egregious):

The family of a Colombian man believed to have been killed in a US strike in the Caribbean has filed what’s believed to be the first complaint against such attacks with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR).

When writing this piece, I kept thinking back to this Instagram post I saw from a trans woman the other day. This is what I'm talking about. Watch this:

Trump and cronies like Pete Hegseth aren’t just criminal incompetents, they’re utterly dangerous. The combination of cruelty, inadequacy, and corruption destabilizes and endangers all of us, and every day it gets worse and worse. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-hollow...

i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse

be the bitch doing something yourself that you want to see in the world

a real tell in all of this is that the trans instructor wasn't alone in trashing this essay! a whole other person also said they agreed completely that it sucked. but as far as i can tell only the trans person is getting punished. www.oklahoman.com/story/news/e...

Psst! Registration ends in a few days!

For my newsletter, I wrote about that college essay scandal that's gone viral and what everyone is seeming to miss: It's about ATTACKING TRANS PEOPLE!!! www.burnsnotice.com/that-viral-e...

At the end of the first Trump administration @pamherd.bsky.social and I wrote about the weaponization of burdens to target immigrants. It has gotten so much worse since then. academic.oup.com/ppmg/article...

dems should start saying that presidential pardons dont apply to international war crimes and in fact implicate the president, no idea if thats true but they should start saying it

I never named my fists

No, they really haven't. Calling spectral peaks vowels is as inane as saying that because my washing up gloves are also yellow, they have the same nutritional content as a banana. Zero evidence of vowel-like function. It's pure clickbait, and a new low in irresponsible claims from this group 🙄🐳🦑🧪

29 times Fox News made us cringe in disgust this year www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Of course Fox is using the “secretary of war” newspeak. That isn’t an actual thing, nor is the “gulf of America.”

I wrote about it here Why Conservatives Watch Fox News www.oliverexplains.com/p/why-conser...

A+ headline work from the AP apnews.com/article/dona...

Listen to FDR’s fifth fireside chat: millercenter.org/the-presiden...

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans. Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet. Run on *that*

We’re at the long pause, when the pendulum appears frozen in place Soon it will swing the other way, accelerating towards the center When it passes and reaches the far heights, we need to nail that fucker in place
