Trans youth deserve to live as their true selves in school, on sports teams, at home, and everywhere else.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Over at Whatever I'm looking at the phenomenon of people living paycheck to paycheck while making $500k a year, how one gets into that position, and some observations from my own (immensely privileged to be clear) point of view. whatever.scalzi.com/2025/11/28/p...

Sharing again because... 👀 This frieze from Fulton County, Georgia shows "Medicine's battle with Death." Note the rod with two snakes. Many mistake it for the Rod of Asclepius (the traditional symbol of healing). However, this is the Caduceus, symbol of commerce. A common error in the USA.

so none of what he’s saying is real btw

“The National Guard is stranded somewhere on this battlefield of partisan politics. They are not ready for this arena, and we should never have asked them to be. Politics is not a military mission.” @juliettekayyem.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Good morning! ☕️☀️😎☮️🎶💗

Biden: served others on Thanksgiving. Obama: served others on Thanksgiving. Mamdani: served others on Thanksgiving. James: served others on Thanksgiving. Sharpton: served others on Thanksgiving. Trump: Played golf at his resort & trash-tweeted. Vance: Gave a speech trashing turkey dinners.

When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.

‘Medicare for All’ still big. “In a survey of 1,207 likely voters [from] Nov. 14–17, 2025, ...65% of voters [supported] a Medicare for All system, described as a ‘national health insurance program... that would cover [everyone] & replace... private health insurance...’" jacobin.com/2025/11/medi...

An MP in Zimbabwe has called for the repeal of the country's "backwards" 1977 abortion law. He argued that safe abortion should be available to a wider range of Zimbabwean women, as it is currently restricted to a privileged few. Each year, 60,000 women die due to unsafe abortion.

In the long history of American oligarchs and corporate heads kowtowing to foreign dictators, there's really never been anything like last week's state dinner honoring MBS. The sheer number, the sheer amount of corporate power, was unlike anything before. www.businessinsider.com/white-house-...

Trump vows to 'permanently pause' migration from poor nations in anti-immigrant social media screed #Pinks apnews.com/article/trum...

Tax the rich feed the poor till their are no rich no more

That Jair Bolsonaro is serving a 27 year prison sentence in Brazil for attempting a coup, while an America president who did the same thing is not only free, but trying to help him escape is exactly the kind of thing that makes the U.S. a third world country.

Rumor is even GOP House members are sick of being treated like potted plants, with many more threatening early departure.

They Were Sent to D.C. to Die for Trump, Not for Their Country open.substack.com/pub/onoffens...

I've seen people scoffing at this as a "photo op." And I think it might be a photo op. It's a chance for people who need these services to see their new mayor and make eye contact, they can take photos. They can hear his promises and hold him to account too. I think it's a good kind of "photo op."

Trump appointed a 22-year-old former landscaper, Thomas Fugate, to head the FBI’s counterterrorism division. No experience. No training. Not a single day worked in the FBI. Just a devoted Trump superfan elevated to one of the most sensitive national security posts in the country.

Although Trump has the broad power to grant a pardon or commutation to Maxwell, Raskin’s resolution would “put House members on record opposing a pardon for Maxwell, adding pressure to the White House if the chamber votes overwhelming in favor” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

OpenAI is a broke boy

Can you imagine 50 people a day, I said 50 people a day, walking into an ICE office, singing "You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant" and walking out?

I wrote about billionaires and thanksgiving and Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/11/27/o...

I've blogged on idea that #AI 'democratises' various skills, such as illustration and writing. I think that misses the point of learning a skill entirely. It's the learning of the skill that enriches and frees us, not us being able to offload it to a machine: blog.matthewbarnard.phd/democratisat...

KONSYSE: With the United States economy experiencing a slowdown earlier in 2025, the withheld GDP data and the delayed release of other critical economic reports could have revealed the full impact of tariffs and labor policies.

The New York Times reviewed the official schedules and public appearances of Donald Trump and compared them with his first term. Results hint at a second term shaped by slower pacing and narrower visibility.

The worst AG in America is suing over a law saying groups who assist the unhoused with state funds cannot proselytize to them. Keep your church out of my government and go back to cheating on your wife, hypocrite. www.texastribune.org/2025/11/24/t...

The main reason any state needs energy is because data centers are hogging it …🔻

Maybe it wasn't the best idea to put unscrupulous people in charge who think they will be Raptured before the war crime trials convene.

bsky.app/profile/ms.n... Shocking. Not that Americans are paying any attention or hear the truth in their media consumption.

That is the sentiment of almost every member of #Grantifa We cannot be silent when our country is being destroyed by a corrupt regime, our hardworking neighbors deported, our institutions of health and science decimated, our private data stolen, and education systems eliminated. #NoKings

No contract, no coffee. We don’t believe in sitting on the sidelines. Join our Transition co-chair @linamkhan.bsky.social , First Deputy Mayor Dean Fuleihan & @sbworkersunited.org at the picket lines.

Gupta: It’s clear that there’s age-related cognitive decline. He’s confused a lot. He sometimes mumbles sort of incoherent nonsense when he’s asked a question in the Oval Office. Clearly they’re not getting MRIs just because, because that’s the moment that we live in. There’s a reason

Also: letting Putin know they have recordings, and recordings mean sources.

we have so few unions, they all need to support each other. the teamsters should stop delivering things to Starbucks.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America: 1. Break up corporate monopolies 2. Continue building union power 3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

I’m running out of words to describe this Administration.

So many men go through life like that. You can play poker because it's right-coded, you can't enjoy fruity alcoholic drinks because they're women-coded, you can't lick an ice cream cone because it's gay-coded. All day, every day, choosing and judging things based on coding for narrow norms.

James Bond supervillains threaten to blow up the world with their big laser unless you pay them a trillion dollars. Real American supervillains embed themselves in the economy and threaten to cause a depression unless you subsidize their sex robots and the weird chatbots they use to avoid humans.

imagine what we could be doing if the federal government wasn't actively trying to throttle the growth of this industry

fuck everyone involved in this decision. scum.

Jeffries: This is only going to end in one of two ways. Either Republicans are going to agree to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits before December 31st of this year, or the American people are going to throw Republicans out of office because of their failure to make life better.

Let's flip this one folks.
