i still have like 8 hours of driving ahead of me and i pulled off the highway to post this

www.thecity.nyc/2025/11/21/n... Every organizing Signal I've ever been in except two has been too large. Remember: the people who are not participating, and by participating I mean actual work not talking, are not passengers. They are "taking notes" making up lies about what people are saying.

I don't think I've ever disagreed and agreed more strongly with a piece, seesawing from one paragraph to the next. Will come back to dissect. #GiftLink #GiftArticle

DOGE was always a very thinly disguised con to dress up data theft and extraction class destruction of federal corporate oversight as innovative, and it's important to remember that part of the reason it worked so well is that the press helped legitimize it

That dog is very stressed, maybe setting off some fireworks near it is a solution

I 100% agree and would add that if you are hosting a holiday event and you do NOT have something festive, creative and delicious for your guests to drink without alcohol in it, you are actually an asshole don't make them drink tap water while everyone else has bespoke cocktails!

it's almost thanksgiving! www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Even if you don't want to use the Expensive Mistake Generator, Big Tech will use it on your behalf, whip up some unsolicited slop, and shunt it onto your timeline.

It's got to be wild to be a run of the mill Republican asshole who buys the party line about waging war against pedophiles in the government, and then you find some pedophiles in the government and try to wage war, and your Republican asshole friends are like "wellllll, define 'pedophiles'"

I'm feeding the dog and heard the guy on teevee say, "turkey tits." He didn't, but there it is now.

Playing the guitar seems like time better spent

"Influencer," "con artist" what's the difference? Neither can thrive without willing rubes.

Buried in this must-read story about the rise of billionaire power is the ex-chair of the DCCC saying the quiet part out loud: access to $$ was a core factor in their candidate recruitment. Needless to say: This is not how @runforsomething.net operates! www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

So far, so good for us

Honestly I’m not sure it’s for anyone

The one and only thing I know about Ryan Lizza is that he greatly overestimates how much I give a flying fig about knowing more.

My decrepit old bastard medication composition must be off. I imagined that "onto" vs "on to," and "into" vs "in to" was something. Majority rules, I guess, because they're about always jammed together now. I guess it's a small thing. You know, pebble in the shoe shit. Walk on

Already sick of seeping rise of A.I. bullshit all around

Kinda grim that this was the government going “well ok fine, if swastikas are UNPOPULAR I guess we won’t do it”

Just like that episode of the Simpsons where Uncle Herb builds the baby translator.

As if headlights aren't already searingly bright, there's a whole-assed subset of folks who keep their high beams on 24x7, I guess out of revenge, jealousy, hatred, or god knows what. It's a delight.

It’s almost as if America’s oligarchs think democracy poses a major threat to their power and hence needs to be acquired like one buys a business competitor, so as to neutralize them.

Let me help you understand Nick Fuentes with one more essay. by Ross Douthat

"You do you" for the win? What a country

I’m always baffled by how consistently law makers make no attempt to consider consequences and logistics of their stupid reactionary policies

Woohoo 2025 baby

Abolish ICE, prosecute their agents.

The move avoids the release of more messages from a Border Patrol agent whose previous texts showed he had bragged about shooting her.

Just saw this today. This is a transparent attempt to KILL DUE PROCESS by lying about the job of immigration judge and stacking the deck through hiring only bloodthirsty lawyers who want to deport people. This comes after they pushed out over 100 judges deemed too likely to grant relief.

The more they dehumanize their targets, the more dangerous they become.

That whole "make America healthy again" doesn't seem to be working too well.

“Several prisoners said their facilities had become stingier than usual with toilet paper, and women incarcerated in Carswell in Texas reported a shortage of tampons. “I was told to use my socks,” one said.”

DOJ is now recruiting for immigration judges by calling them “deportation judges.” That’s seems really bad.

“As a company, I couldn’t care less about the climate,” he said When asked about future implications of his pursuits he told The NY Times this: He smirked and waved his hand, as if to swat the question away. “I’ll be dead,” he said, “so it won’t matter.”

America: land of the free. Home of the expanding police state. And the “Don’t tread on me” crowd is suddenly silent.

Kash Patel's personal firing of the Pride flag-displaying employee was always absurd and unconstitutional, so I'm glad David Maltinsky is suing, but, wait. It was a flag FLOWN BY THE FBI that was given to him BY THE FBI?! Come on. Complaint: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I mean I know I should probably be more freaked out about this but the guy is flailing, he’s losing on every front and he’s watching television and screaming into the void again everyone is going to pretend this didn’t happen like they do every time he does something like this

Probably I'm just a pre-programmed doomer, but why would he sign the bill that we all think heralds his own doom? Maybe I misunderstood what I heard this morning, but I smell something rotten. It's not impossible that it's just my own bad brain.

Democracy is pretty cool but it can never outweigh kissing the ass of cops and every single thing their mafia 'unions' want, particularly the zero accountability they prefer.

I just quit on a post I was writing about this sort of thing, because there wasn't quite enough there, but it's worth noting that this sort of thing is unique to Dems, and loser shit/evil, but also stupid. None of these dorks will face ads in their home district re-election campaign about this!

An entire argument dismantled in two words.

I’ve been saying this for ages: These folks are doomed to be permanently angry because they’re angry about aspects of the culture that policy ultimately can’t change. They’re seeking political power as a consolation prize for lack of cultural power, and will always be dissatisfied.

Liberals and centrists : “karl stop saying the republicans are building a police state it isn’t accurate and is hyperbolic your pain maxing and dooming” The republicans : apnews.com/article/immi...

Be nice if substack burned down and a new "not a nazi bar" blogging site stepped up to fill the void.

Follow the evidence and prosecute every last one where applicable

The US continues to lose manufacturing jobs—payrolls are down 94k over the last year, & another 6k jobs were lost in September Transportation (especially auto manufacturing) and electronics/electrical manufacturing are the biggest losers, but almost no subsectors are doing well

🚨👀 "If history is any guide the receipts will be shocking" (re the call that took place b/w Trump and MBS after the murder of Khasoggi). Seems like American people need to hear the unredacted version of that call w/ full transcript b/w Trump and MBS?
