The BBC visits an IDF outpost on the eastern edge of Gaza City: “The Gaza of maps and memories is gone, replaced by a monochrome landscape of rubble stretching flat and still for 180 degrees…there's almost nothing left to orient you here or identify the neighbourhoods.”

Regrettably having to give this bloody thing a boost again, as ever, any help is always much appreciated. ko-fi.com/lawsonsv

Fuck this man forever. I hope he falls into an open sewer

The company says it’s heartbreaking, they promise improvements, new guardrails. Anything but shutting it down. Suicide is just a metric in their ongoing beta test. Sam Altman and everyone like him should be in fucking jail.

The only thing I care about in a president for 2028 is holding every one of these people accountable under the law in the harshest manner possible. Anything short of that is a waste of time.

The Ducks have played 13 games so far. They have more 7+ goal games this season than any season in their history

The Ducks have scored 7 goals more often than 1 goal so far this year. These games are fun to watch

These are crimes against humanity. None of us is capable of truly internalizing suffering at this scale. Elon Musk and many other members of the Trump Administration should be put on trial at The Hague.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

There are no words for how evil this is

This wouldn’t happen if we still had a 92% top marginal tax rate, because obscene and dangerous payouts like this would be pointless.

This was to be expected from a Christian nationalist majority SCOTUS but it's still horrendous. I will not for any federal political candidate who does not pledge to reform the court. There is no future for liberal democracy so long as reactionary bigots have unilateral power to dismantle it.

"without subjecting anyone to differential treatment." This is flatly false! Trans people with a passport that does not match with their plain appearance when presented to a border agent is subject to additional hassle compared to a cis person presenting a passport.

The sweetener is we'll rehire the people we illegally fired lmao I swear to God if anyone agrees to any of this you're a mark-ass mark

ICE enforcement may be a mass disabling event. Disease is rampant in the camps. Disabled people report having their medical needs ignored and their conditions drastically worsened. The indiscriminate use of chemical weapons and violence causes harm. Abolish ICE.

More people have died in ICE custody in last 9 months than in the entire prior 4 years. We hear of a few, but most barely make the news. Cases like Randall Alberto Gamboa Esquivel. He was in perfect health when ICE detained him. He disappeared in June & by August was in a vegetative state.

And dont let the door hit you on the way out

“The [Israeli] military has not allowed CBS News or other foreign outlets to report independently inside Gaza since the war began, though it has offered a few previous IDF-organized and guided media tours.”

Biden/Mayor Pete very rightfully took a ton of shit for barely caring about a large scale environmental disaster. The same standards need to be applied

“Tens or hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer-funded NASA property and laboratories are at risk of either being discarded, mishandled, or out-of-commission for significant time periods.” 🔭🧪 www.gesta-goddard.org/blog/gestas-...

Heartbreaking: Under Trump's ICE terror, a 2-year-old Chicago girl was tear-gassed while walking with her mom-burning eyes, screams of 'Ouch! Mommy!' This isn't enforcement; it's state-sponsored child abuse.

Please use alt text on your baseball pictures, and all your pictures, but especially on pics of a baseball player in street clothes. I'm sure it's a good post, but I don't know who that is.

The ADL has decided to treat fascists as allies and progressives as enemies. For a group that is tasked with protecting American Jews, that is a world historic fuck up. I will never forgive these people for their moral decrepitude.

It was a rejection of the entire administration and Dems should see this as a signal to become an actual opposition party. On everything. You don't stop the shutdown. You don't approve another appointee. You do nothing at all. The voters saved you, not the other way around. LEARN TO LEAD.

Establishment Dems: “We just had a sweeping win proving people want us to fight for them and that we can beat the fascists.” Also Establishment Dems: “Quick, back to capitulating!” What an utterly spineless and embarrassing political party.

make them answer for why they care more about checking a child’s underwear than whether you can afford your electric bill!

The Democrats won several VA House seats where winning looked like a pipe dream going into the election. The Dems won these seats because they recruited candidates and actually campaigned. Important lesson for 26--the electorate is pissed--but you can only win when you run. Run everywhere!

Federal agents pulling a woman out of Rayito Del Sol, a daycare by Lane Tech high school

My youngest goes to Lane Tech, where parents and teachers have been having to patrol the perimeter to protect students. You wonder if dragging a caregiver out of a daycare screaming, in full view of small children, was just too unimaginably ghoulish to anticipate and prepare for.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed. The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

Reminder that this is a winning position, and people support it

This is why Chuck has NO REASON to come back to the table. Let them twist. If you're coming back with wins this big during a shutdown, the people know where their bread is buttered. Don't throw them a lifeline. These aren't tiny margin wins. They're blowouts.

If you're about to post something mean about Andrew Cuomo, I urge you to pause, take a deep breath, and think of something even meaner.

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

Americans have spoken and they demand wokeness

i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up

ok now that zohran is the mayor all focus has to be on ousting chuck schumer

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

Can’t stop thinking about all the robber baron fucks that held secret meetings and spent MILLIONS AND MILLIONS in bribes and campaign investments and attack ads and media manipulation trying to tank Mamdani currently having the dawning realization that their money is completely and utterly useless.

I hope Democrats unveil their new “TRANSGENDER FOR EVERYONE” policy tomorrow. America is ready.

“Democratic socialists” and “lgbt” both being 80% means every dem candidate needs to be both a socialist and to unequivocally support trans rights thanks.

Eric Adams rushing into his office, locking the door, finger hovering over the big red button on his desk “See you in hell, New York” He jams his finger down. The ceiling fan turns on

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-) he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

If you’re still in line, STAY IN LINE

every victory speech is like “to those that did not vote for me just know i will work with you” nah dawg, we are running lib shit like it’s the four verts offense. gays everywhere. trans folks on every high school field hockey team. get on board or get smoked 42-0 at halftime.

I don't really understand Ohio State ahead of Indiana other than just "I think they're better." Indiana is the only team with two top-20 road wins. The resume is clearly better. It ultimately doesn't matter because they'll play each other, but it's not consistent.

CFP chair Mack Rhoades said the committee doesn't look at a team's nonconference scheduling philosophy. That's such a waste. The selection committee could encourage better scheduling if it weighed a challenging noncon vs. an easy noncon schedule and rewarded teams as such.
