Did you know that less than 0.5% of philanthropic giving goes to Native Americans. Here are Native-led places you can donate this #GivingTuesday.🧵

One of the drums I am going to keep beating is that the US needs to submit to the jurisdiction of the ICJ. Right now, we live in a time in which the president is immune and can grant immunity to basically anyone he wants. They are acting accordingly.

The Pentagon reporters who have been kicked out of the building continue to break huge stories every day while the right-wing New Media continue to post selfies of themselves hanging out in the Pentagon.

It's Giving Tuesday! But the hard truth is that December is always make-or-break for our newsroom. A full one-third of all the funds we need to practice the journalism you rely on comes to us at the end of the year. Consider donating today! We so appreciate the support ❤️ tinyurl.com/y6wzer7w

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders. What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

‼️‼️

In other words: Turn the scope of the $$ into the way to villainize ICE.

I tried to do the latter here, with an assist from @cingraham.bsky.social. www.emptywheel.net/2025/11/18/t...

The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. A galaxy of public/private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Tomorrow is our last chance to stomp the regime at the ballot box in 2025. We can flip a Tennessee district that Trump won by double digits, but only if we turn enough voters out — please make some calls to help us send @aftynbehn.bsky.social to Congress: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

This Is Good, But ICE Will Ignore It…. HUGE VICTORY: A judge just ruled EVERYONE picked up by ICE is entitled to a bond hearing in front of a judge – no more disappearing people into indefinite detention, for no reason. 👏 GOOD.

There are specific reasons Trumpists want war on Venezuela, but there‘s a generic one: they crave power to make war on anyone, any time, for completely fabricated reasons, and then to use the guise of war to increase violence and repression everywhere, including home. They are lawless bestial scum.

Following yesterday’s story about Australia’s success tackling cervical cancer with the HPV vaccine, here’s the latest research on how vaccines can help prevent dementia, heart disease and some cancers.

NOT working for two reasons: 1) the wealthy are not taxed enough, and 2) corporations pay a great deal less in tax than the benefit they get, and the burden they impose on the infrastructure they rely on. THAT’S why!! Our system has been corrupted by the people and entities with wealth to

remained flat or actually gone down. The minimum wage is a poverty (not subsistence) level wage. So the argument that we are “squeezing” the upper tax brackets is NONSENSE! They are paying more in taxes because their earnings are far outpacing the rest of the market. Our income tax system is

The reason the top 10% of income earners pay more than half of all tax revenue is NOT because they are taxed more than ever. Their tax rate has been cut FIVE times in the last 25 years. They are paying more because their INCOME has increased astronomically, where the income of the bottom half has

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

One really cool way of making sure American soldiers don't get killed while occupying American cities is to not deploy soldiers to occupy American cities

🔥POWERFUL AD ABOUT ICE AGENTS: “What will you say when your kids ask you about your day? A mask can’t hide you from your neighbors, your family, God… you can walk away, but the shame will follow you home.”

Sent there by the Republicans and Trump. Put her there intentionally. Not just her, but any other National Guard member who should not have been there in the first place. Her blood is on the Republicans' and Trump's hands.

"Justo" is harvesting lettuce in Madera County CA. He labors 6 days a week, working 8-10 hrs shifts. "It's hard repetitive work. We have to be bent over all the time. We cut the lettuce clean off the extra leaves bag it and put it in a box. I earn minimum wage." #WeFeedYou

Keep in mind that your silence enables their racism.

Every single American should be concerned with the rapid increase of mass surveillance under ICE. It will not go away when they feel they’ve accomplished their mission of getting rid of all the non-white people.

This is a really big story that should not be missed. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Spotify is running ads to recruit for the regime’s secret police. Stop paying for or using Spotify until the ICE ads stop: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify?source=bluesky

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

The X platform now has a new tool that promotes scrutiny about the origin of X accounts. I've noticed lately that more trolls are invading Bsky. This same feature that X has so members can check an account's country of origin would be super helpful to weed out the bad guys from causing harm here.

Landmark move: New York City's comptroller @bradlander.bsky.social, with hundreds of billions under his control, recommends dropping investment giant Blackrock because they won't reckon with climate change. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

i, too, dream of this

FACT CHECK: Medicare for All Would Save the U.S. Trillions; Public Option Would Leave Millions Uninsured, Not Garner Savings www.citizen.org/news/fact-ch... Medicare for all is the solution to the US Healthcare crisis. What we have now is broken and becoming worse under the MAGA Regime. #Healthcare

VICTORY: A federal judge ruled that ICE cannot make warrantless arrests of people in Colorado without probable cause as required by law.

We could always switch from fossil fuel subsidies to subsidies that assist this type of decarbonization, but that would make too much sense

lol i think this landed me on an “americanophobia” moderation list. please, if respecting or acknowledging the plurality of “americas” or the ambiguity of “america/n” upsets you, do mute or block me ffs

“We’re living in a country where we have people who literally can’t afford to breathe.”

We’d like to end today with a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt: We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it as not as dreadful as it appears, discovering that we have the strength to stare it down. Just keep going. Goodnight, heroes.

There was a time when the United States looked down its nose at the countries in South America for being lawless banana republics. Who's the banana republic now, bitches?

I’ve heard many stories of how ICE is not following the law or honoring due process. I'm at the Tacoma ICE facility to come see for myself and hold ICE accountable. From my visit, it was abundantly clear that ICE is lying.

they damn well should be

Southern California shouldn’t be sacrificed so oil companies can chase a few barrels that won’t move gas prices at all. Our coast powers tens of thousands of jobs, and one spill could wipe them out. Trump’s drilling scheme is risky, unnecessary, and likely illegal. We’re going to stop it.

I’ve been running around asking tech execs and academics if language was the same as intelligence for over a year now - and, well, it isn’t. @benjaminjriley.bsky.social explains how the bubble is built on ignoring cutting-edge research into the science of thought www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

WE HAVE BEEN RESISTING MORE THAN THE PEOPLE WE ELECTED Yes, yes, and yes. EVERY politician should look at this and get the fuck out of the way if they haven't met this BASIC bar. We WILL put in ppl who WILL REBUILD. Not just mouth platitudes and collect endorsements & money as usual.

Impeach, convict, remove. And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

Probably the best analysis of the FULL 30 minute conversation between Mamdani and 🍊🐽. www.tumblr.com/becausegoodh...

Californians are buying ice scrapers at Home Depot, then immediately returning them....bogging down the entire store, until Home Depot refuses to allow ICE to loiter at their location to detain innocent people. Winter is coming. Scrape ICE.

*cries in usian*

Joe Walsh In the end, it didn’t cut government spending, and there were no promised “savings.” In the end, DOGE destroyed countless lives, ravaged American soft power, killed hundreds of thousands of people around the world (soon millions), & stole your data. Elon Musk should be on trial.
