It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

the way nothing is happening as the president blows people up in the ocean is steadily untethering me. people on the television every day saying "this is murder" as it continues to happen and the senate slowly lurches toward having a committee meeting. it feels impossible

It tried to kill me but I have finished the book. Second pass pages read through, final copy and line edits done. Please read my book. I worked very hard on it. 😭 (Also read Legendborn, as you can see from the background, I’m a fan) www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/746817...

Literally buying one copy of a book at your local indie bookstore can mean the difference in whether they buy future books from that author.

Call me a bad parent all you want but I need these children out of my house tomorrow. We did Thanksgiving. We went to THREE museums this weekend. We cut down and decorated a Christmas Tree. Aside from the brief 9 hours they sleep, they have been with us all day for 5 days straight. I am TIRED.

Yeah but they still haven't figured out a mechanism and that's gotta be making them pretty nervous at this stage

Perfect natural experiment. If Biden and Congress had treated the Jan 6th insurrection like the treason it was and jailed the people behind it, Trump’s power would have shriveled on the vine.

Fox News legal contributor Andy McCarthy knocks down Hegseth's defense: "Neither Hegseth’s statement nor the explanation attributed to Bradley ... makes legal sense. ... It cannot be a defense to say, as Hegseth does, that one has killed because one’s objective was 'lethal, kinetic strikes.'"

Deleuze & Guattari were also there

How obvious? This obvious:

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."

Several Republican members of Congress have said that they are retiring to spend more time with other people's children.

Actually, leftover scumbags from the NIXON administration. Cheney, Rumsfeld, Roger Ailes, Roger Stone, Kissinger, all should have died in prison at a bare minimum. The George W Bush administration would never have even happened if we didn't let this nest of fascist ratfuckers fester.

"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

In 2022, Biden earmarked billions of dollars to help former coal communities. It was the largest investment in Appalachia since LBJ's 1960s’ war on poverty. But Trump won West Virginia 70% to 28% in 2024. And now he's taking away the funding Biden gave them. When are they going to learn?

While I’m glad Commissioner Tisch let Ricky Patel (Special Agent in Charge at HSI) know that she’s not happy with their raids, I’m disturbed by footage of NYPD officers clearing the way for ICE vehicles. It’s a violation of our sanctuary city law to facilitate deportations. x.com/emmagf/statu...

Props to the protestors who the New York Times credits for foiling ICE’s intended raid in Chinatown earlier today. So many people are showing they know what it means to be New Yorkers! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/n...

If you want to know why Pete Hegseth is confident he'll face no consequences for blatant war crimes, just look at the list of people who attended Dick Cheney's funeral.

First exposed to Reggae while creating costumes for a part of the Opera Falstaff at the Opera Company of Boston long ago. The Set department where I was concocting party costumes played the music and I was mesmerized and totally carried away. So this is another sad milestone ...............

was in Schwabing, a dear friend at LM University and I had boarded a streetcar complete strangers shared the initial news he’d been shot when they learned we were from the US, they cried Germans were hugely affected by it, especially Berliners [image: www.facebook.com/groups/USHis... ]>

They’ve got a centrist saying this now? 🍿

A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer. Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."

"One side is led by fascists. It’s like saying the Civil War, the problem with the Civil War was polarization ...It’s nonsensical. It’s just fascism enabling." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

"History was full of the bones of good men who'd followed bad orders in the hope that they could soften the blow. Oh, yes, there were worse things they could do, but most of them began right where they started following bad orders." -Terry Pratchett, Jingo #Discworld

These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws. Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired. They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.
