it's really important to pay attention to how Dem leaders are always eager to pat a fascist on the back, but when a socialist talks about affordability, equality, & security for all, those same Dem leaders choose to slander, smear, or ignore them. (it's because liberal centrists are fascists)

“There are calls with Miller, where everyone is being screamed at,” the official told The Beast. “The targets he is setting for them are ridiculous, and it is a case of them just spending any money they can to increase the number of officers and deportations.”

Do these people have any other talking points than "Muslim=bad"? They're doing the "transing the gay away" conspiracy theory with an Islamophobic twist.

Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino "also revered Starship Troopers, Robert Heinlein's 1959 military sci-fi classic about an interstellar war between humans and alien bugs - a book his sister says he still reads to this day."

CoreWeave is more than a data center company – it’s a tool to hedge other companies’ risks and juice their profits as the AI bubble grows ever larger. It gets worse from there. Read more from @lopatto.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

🚨 WHY THIS STARBUCKS STRIKE IS DIFFERENT - @kimkelly.bsky.social Reporting on the ground from the Red Cup Rally in Philly, Kim Kelly breaks down why this strike is so important & how it's different from other collective actions @sbworkersunited.org have taken against Starbucks. @therealnews.com

Sounds to me like Heritage Foundation is purging any non-MAGA conservatives who aren't unquestioningly loyal to Trump. Roberts was the main driver of Project 2025's development and was the guy who said we're in a "second American Revolution" that will be "bloodless if the left allows it to be."

I can't wait for The Big Short II, where Margot Robbie will explain stupidity of the Proof-of-Work based blockchain in a bubbly tub at a spa. ca.investing.com/news/stock-m...

I love this new weekly tradition of hearing a cover on Spotify's "new release" or "discovery" playlist and then spending several minutes staring at the album art to decide whether the band is entirely an AI prompt or just bad.

you know, all Raskin had to do is say that "the fight against fascism" is a big tent but he didn't and that was dumb bigots aren't welcome in the party but should be encouraged to resist fascists

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

😲 CONFIRMED: “an Avelo ICE flight declared an emergency when the cabin lost pressure, according to air traffic control transmissions. The plane made a rapid descent and landed safely. Of 88 people on board, six were injured…” From: @gbrockell.bsky.social prospect.org/2025/11/17/i...

Suddenly thinking of those pictures of rosaries that the Border Patrol/ ICE have stolen from people they’ve detained.

MeToo did not go far enough. People were saying "MeToo has gone too far" when it had barely just picked up momentum. It was an attempt at reckoning with how institutionally misogynistic and sexually exploitative most institutions are and what women are constantly put through. So it was crushed.

Holy shit reverse MeToo is wild

holy shit: “Among the 2,000 UK adults surveyed, 85% were unaware that Britain forcibly transported more than 3 million Africans to the Caribbean, 89% did not know that Britain enslaved people in the Caribbean for more than 300 years” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Pundits: Why didn't Kamala Harris run to the center on immigration? Kamala Harris's campaign speeches:

My latest on the AI bubble in finance: 6 charts that tell the story in ways that are hard to put into words. 1. U.S. data-center build-out. Notice the explosion in 2025. That's the permitting gold rush happening now. Would be shocking if 1 in 20 of these get built, but they factor into projections.

What we're seeing with Republicans turning on Trump is in no way a repudiation of Trumpism and the Republican white nationalist project, but instead the effect of these people realizing the regime failed to consolidate power as promised and Trump is physically deteriorating in public view.

Premium: This is Vol 2 of the Hater's Guide To The AI Bubble, an 18k word guide to the major public/private players in AI, with bits on why ads won't save OpenAI, why vibe coding is a scam, and how we must hold every booster accountable once the bubble bursts. www.wheresyoured.at/premium-the-...

Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

If "all options are on the table", then the Governor would commit to 15 GW in public renewables and to transmission projects. She is using Trump's "the law doesn't apply to me" authoritarian tactics to keep us hooked on gas, potentially for personal enrichment. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/n...

Reminder! All Kamala had to do to beat Trump was stop partnering in genocide. She chose genocide.

A lot of education discourse is at root an inability to decide whether the purpose of our education system is to 1) teach material and measure learning 2) reward students who work hard 3) separate the smart kids (destined for smart guy jobs) from the dumb kids (destined to serve the smart guys)

I hope Pope Leo dismantles the Catholic League all the way down to ripping out nails from floorboards to scrap to fundraise for food pantries.

Puking and crying at the thought of trans people in Ghana getting access to microcredit

Newspaper Union in Pittsburgh just told Fetterman to get fucked. 👏 👏 👏 Glad to see some journalistic integrity.

🧵if you cover the community & economic & environmental impact of data centers, cloud & AI companies, so called hyperscalers in the US… please be aware:

tom looked it up so you don’t have to - but by all means, use this fact in your reporting on gas prices & trump claims…

I will say it again; the Democrats need openly create a list of civil servants called the Dirty Dozen that will be subject to impeachment in 2026, The Constitution provides that “… all civil Officers of the United States” are subject to removal from office upon impeachment.”

For more on Rev. Woolf, who appears to have been arrested today: he published an editorial with @rns.org literally this week titled “Why clergy should risk assault to protest ICE” —> religionnews.com/2025/11/13/w...

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Rather than trivializing how much toilet paper Ghislaine Maxwell has access to behind bars, remember that most incarcerated people have little to their name. Toilet paper isn't a luxury – it's a basic necessity.

Oracle has had to take on $56 billion in debt to build data centers for OpenAI's $300 billion, 5-year-long compute deal. OpenAI doesn't have the money, Oracle doesn't have the compute, but the debt is very real, and can hurt them. This could be existential! www.wheresyoured.at/premium-the-...

True comedy is watching Dave Portnay trying to use a hammer

“No one is coming to save us,” said Steve Tesfagiorgis, a custodian at the University of Minnesota, where workers mounted a five-day strike in September against the wishes of local union officials. “We need to get respect for ourselves, by ourselves.” labornotes.org/2025/11/team...

the cool thing about ai is that if its a bubble we will go into a recession and there wont be any jobs, but if its not a bubble we will go into a recession and there wont be any jobs

JD Vance owns a company that buys American real estate and sells it to foreign investors. They specifically target Americans in crisis to buy their property for less than it is worth.

Given the ongoing Epstein news, also worth noting that Trump took out a full page ad in NYT calling for the death penalty for the Central Park Five, who were between the ages of 14 and 16.

It’s not over but when it is I will never, ever forget the “serious people” who buckled and compromised and abetted the torture and crime and murder for a fascist lottery ticket.

I can't even fathom what January will look like, except probably very bad for the Trump regime. Absent a major black swan event, I don't see a path to power consolidation for them at this point. For a number of reasons, not just Epstein. (Thread)

“Actually, he only raped teenagers” is a hell of a thing to say out loud.

the more you learn about the rich people who hold the entire world in their hands and how dim they all are- real pigshit for brains, embarrassing, tedious, mediocre thinkers--the more it just makes you want to start screaming and never stop

It was gross af when Brock Turner's defense team tried to make use it to explain away his actions, but I'm coming around to the idea of Affluenza as a mental disorder that as a society we need to get people help for.

"Mark my words, one wrong step in this town’ll land you in a whole heap of social services."

There's been some brohaha about 185 Grant being purchased by a self-storage company, and I do hope the owners split the first floor to put something customer-facing in the front, but it's worth noting that the building literally has a huge ghost sign from when it previously housed a storage company.

i actually think this read doesn’t quite make sense, or at least isn’t very clear. (1) asked where he’s spending Thanksgiving, Epstein says “eva” (presumably Eva Andersson-Dubin) (2) asked who else is “down there” he lists people including Trump. Really unclear imo

again i am perfectly fine with locking every one of Jeffrey Epstein's friends in prison, Democrat, Republican or Whatever.

Fordham just sent me an email for a survey on how to integrate AI into the workplace. The only reason they would have my email is from their role as the EPA Environmental Justice Thriving Communities grant manager. Nice to see them using their EJ org contact list effectively for the current crisis.
