Feds gassed and tackled people in Elgin today, the same day Kristi Noem was in Chicago for a Christmas photo op, after a few weeks of relative quiet. I'm remembering that old story about groundskeepers at Versailles who would only turn the palace fountains on when the king came by.

The open disregard for judicial decisions and orders is being normalized more every day

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

Mockler: It's honestly humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child, like a baby. It's like if I created a peace prize and I gave it to myself. I'm like, I'm just going to keep this medal on all night. Our president is an actual child

As Patel and Bongino go on their victory lap after nabbing the pipe bomb suspect, an apparent Stop The Steal-er, I hope more outlets acknowledge the lies they spread before joining the FBI: www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

We killed four more people in the Pacific Ocean today, according to a video just posted to DVIDS, the military's media distribution channel

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars. She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

The follow up HAS to be “can you name the 8 wars?”. Anything else is irrelevant. Stop letting him say crazy shit with no pushback!

Not “meritocracy” from this guy 🙄

Anyway, if you're surprised at all about the SCOTUS decision, remember - Bush v Gore chose the president on such nakedly partisan grounds they put in the opinion that it couldn't be used as future precedent - Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Alito & Barrett all served on W's election legal team

Just 4 years ago Zuck rearranged his entire company and even changed the name around the “metaverse”. A failure of epic proportions. How much money and time was wasted on this bad bet? gizmodo.com/looks-like-w...

This remains one of the most disturbing stories of the year. A 1st trimester fetus incubated in a dead woman's body against the will of her family until a very early term birth when the corpse could no longer sustain life. www.cbsnews.com/atlanta/news...

I mean, this is an execution

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity

Spotify wrapped is absolutely cooking the books.

This is an ethnic cleansing campaign

Refreshingly clear language from the NYT

Armando Iannucci eat your heart out.

Live your life in such a way that a beloved Canadian children’s publisher does not have to condemn you for warmongering.

Reminder that "firing on the shipwrecked" is literally THE example used in the DoD War Manual of "a clearly illegal order"

After 404 Media's months-long reporting and pressure from lawmakers, the data broker owned by the U.S.’s major airlines will now shut down a program in which it sold access to hundreds of millions of flight records to the government and let agencies track peoples’ movements without a warrant.

World’s biggest arms producers increased revenue last year to record level, report says

Trump's approval numbers have reached a new second-term low in the latest Gallup poll. His approval is now at 36%. Disapproval has gone up to 60%. Approval among independents is now at 25%.

News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.

Alina Habba’s parents emigrated to the US from Iraq citing persecution.

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker. Just to level set

When a news outlet puts a reckless, undocumented claim by the Trump regime in the main headline and puts medical experts’ pushback in the smaller type, it’s making a choice. And not a good one.

Today in life under competitive authoritarianism It doesn’t get anymore textbook than this:

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Make Uber aware and if they don’t do anything, add them to the boycott list

The Boston Globe identified the companies in Massachusetts that employ the most SNAP recipients. A key stat: "In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are employed, half of them full-time." Full article: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/28/m...

"Western civilization," the font, the 11 stars - 11 states in the confederacy, for the record. Why is this never news? Why are we letting our government agencies do this sort of thing while the news agencies report on hallucinated trade deals and act like everything is normal

so none of what he’s saying is real btw

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes. If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Keep in mind that white American males shot and killed countless Americans including many children, and no one ever did a thing but protect their right to do it again.

Since Stephen Miller is in the midst of another of his Aryans-only trantrums, we should note that his family are 20th century immigrants from the shtetl of Antopol (Антопаль) then in the Hrodna gubernia of Russia. Applying his immigration rules, they would all have perished in the Holocaust.

The journalist who got this scoop and reported it is a former U.S. Army infantry soldier and Iraq War vet

This is similar to the logic that the Nazis used to justify mass deportation and murder of Jews, Romani, and other people. They’re not Nazis, though!

I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face

I want to say we deserve so much better... but do we? Did any of her colleagues defend her after this?

Racist

Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell. Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.

the invasion of Afghanistan is among the most horrific recent chapters of the long history of elite impunity in the US. this coda is grim but fitting - the govt practically explicitly affirming that it should only be Afghans who live with the consequences amid fading public memory of the atrocity

‼️‼️ Newly released emails show the FBI spent almost $1 million in overtime analyzing the Epstein files as part of an effort dubbed the “Special Redaction Project."

everyone knows the number one quality of rigorous, responsible journalism is waiting months and months to reveal urgently newsworthy information until it can cause the most harm in your personal vendettas

Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

Note that the BBC openly admits in an email to me that the removal of this claim about Trump's world-historical corruption was done "on legal advice." Translation: Trump's threat of a lawsuit, no matter how bogus, has now been rewarded. newrepublic.com/article/2036...

Horrifying, absurd, deeply disturbing. Unfortunately essential viewing for Americans. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmVn...

NEW: Civil rights and weapons experts cite the consequences of federal agents’ use of crowd control weapons: religious leaders shot with pepper balls and noxious chemicals. A nurse nearly blinded by tear gas. Protestors trapped, struggling to breathe. With @frontlinepbs.bsky.social

Multiple federal judges have ruled CBP/ICE use of force as unreasonable and issued constraints that continue to be ignored. There is zero accountability for these violations of people's rights.
