"“Clearly, Trump has learned something from his good friend MBS: If you don’t like what your political opponents say, execute them,” said Sen. Bernie Sanders. “Unfortunately for Mr. Trump, that’s not what we do in America.” www.commondreams.org/news/trump-s...

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

I want A.I. to do my admin and laundry while I write and illustrate books. I don't want A.I. to write and illustrate books while I do my admin and laundry.

Thursday Night Football needs to not be a thing anymore

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

This is so cool. Driving an E.V. Across North Dakota? Thank the Standing Rock Tribe. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/c...

Home insurance is in crisis, and Big Oil's lies are to blame. "We’re never going to bend the curve of ever-rising insurance costs without addressing the core driver of higher prices: the worsening climate disasters that Big Oil knowingly made a reality," explains CCI's @iylas.bsky.social.

Meiselas this past Monday: Halligan says the grand jury rejected the 3-count indictment, so she brought back a 2-count version they supposedly approved, but that part is missing from the transcript. Judge Currie warned the grand jury may never have seen it. If true, that’s criminal.

I think the President of the US responding to a question about the murder of a journalist with "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman" is probably pretty bad.

Last week President Donald J. Trump gave Laura Ingraham a tour of some of his White House renovations. I decided to zoom in on her face and add a drone sound effect for emphasis. She did not seem impressed. The Fox News hosts appeared a bit horrified.

I will not be buying any World Cup tickets or merchandise due to FIFA’s collaboration with the Trump regime. Gianni Infantino has a dictator fetish. It’s grotesque.

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not just the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

Just a thought: How about we stop protecting the reputation of powerful, rich child rapists, and start bringing powerful, rich child rapists to justice?

The Citizens United case effectively made the tensions between the US constitution, and liberal democracy intolerable. It was only a matter of time before it resulted in something resembling fascism. That's the point that needs to be addressed, and doing so could save America.

Of course you know why a private market in health care is so bad for health. The best way to make money is to sell a drug that relieves the symptoms of, but does not cure, a very uncomfortable chronic condition. The worst way to make money is to prevent illness through social change.

The reason we have laws* against bribery is that companies will absolutely bribe politicians at the very first opportunity if it is good for the bottom line, because they see it as a sound business decision, not a civilizational betrayal. /1

Swalwell: Kristi Noem and Tom Homan, you should familiarize yourselves with this room. Get to know that witness chair — you’re going to be parked in it for a long time. Accountability is coming.

Your daily reminder that the fossil fuel industry is propped up by billions of dollars in U.S. government subsidies and a multimillion dollar campaign to spread climate disinformation. 💵

Epstein survivor: "Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government still belongs to the American people or to those who prey on them."

Greene: This has been one of the most destructive things to Maga

Coons on Epstein files: "My hunch is that AG Bondi, having just been ordered on social media by the president to open an investigation into a series of high-profile Dems, will promptly say, 'No, there's an ongoing investigation, we can't disclose any of this,' and the president will back that up."

Another reminder that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

The incredible BS of needing a "Joe Rogan of the left" was that we needed to win over young men, when it's the Gen X men—like Rogan himself—who largely gave us Trump.

Spanberger faced a total retread of the trans panic attacks on Harris, using some of the exact same language. She didn't leave those attacks unanswered. Instead, she turned the race into a referendum on discrimination.

Violence against clinics has been on the rise since the end of Roe. Yet one of Trump's first acts was to pardon two dozen anti-abortion extremists and direct the DOJ to no longer enforce the FACE Act—the federal law that prohibits violence against clinics. jessica.substack.com/p/god-demand...

But remember that most of Trump's people aren't deep thinkers. They want you to think they are, but they're mostly just tap dancing as fast as they can while raiding the treasury and inflicting their cruelty on others. They're living in fear of all this ending soon - and rightly so./18

Absolutely! I have said multiple times in many forums, AI is the same old "garbage in- garbage out", another manipulation tool by conglomerate digital industries! It will cause many many more problems and mischiefs by corrupt corporations than solutions. It will increase cheating, lies, and crimes!

“While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests.”

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

Today was Palestinian Independence Day. As Trump and Netanyahu’s disastrous postwar plans become clear, the U.S. must recognize and respect Palestinian statehood — as 81% of the world already does. Agency and dignity are the only ways we can achieve lasting peace.

What is weird is #TACOToad hasn't filed a lawsuit against fox for (maliciously) editing that interview in 2024 that cut out his recanting of his promise to release the Epstein files. 🤔

The files are almost immaterial at this point. It should be clear to anyone from all the flip-flops, changing stories and lies about this that the Epstein stuff is very bad for Trump. I believe every word that Michael Wolff has said about his interviews with Epstein regarding Trump.

Since they are only launching an investigation into Democrats, they can’t release any files related to Democrats. That means the files related Trump and Republicans can all still be released since there are no ongoing investigations against them.

"Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob." —FDR, 1936

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Let me get this straight: The Right has spent years calling trans people, drag performers, queers, teachers and librarians "groomers" -- but Epstein and Trump are NOT child molesters, because *checks notes* their victims were young-looking 15-year-olds?!

the way basic human decency hits these days is crazy

Good that Canada joins coalition to fight against climate disinformation (so maybe don't weaken greenwashing law?) www.euronews.com/green/2025/1...

America's most notorious child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, said this man was the worst person he'd ever met. Let that sink in.

So dark. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

@repdangoldman.bsky.social is the best. We need more members of Congress like him. 👏👏👏

Priorities.

BREAKING: Grijalva has signed the Epstein Files discharge petition. It doesn't appear that Mace or Boebert have removed their names.
