What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.

Shocking footage out of Minneapolis emerges as activists on the ground report ICE is pulling people out of their cars simply because they look Somali:

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

JUST IN: Democrats have flipped the mayor's office in Roswell, Georgia, in tonight's runoff. GOP Mayor Kurt Wilson conceded earlier tonight to Mary Robichaux, the Dem challenging him. (This is a city in the Atlanta suburbs, the 9th most populous city in Georgia.)

Anyone who is dooming about this simply does not have the appropriate psychological disposition to safely use social media.

Wow. "It gives me no pleasure to say what I’m about to say because I worked with Pete Hegseth for seven or eight years at Fox News. This is an act of a war crime .... There’s absolutely no legal basis for it.” - Newsmax's Judge Napolitano

Probably going to see some more R retirement announcements between now and the end of the year.

yeah if these are the kinds of political swings we're getting in Trump country the Republicans are beyond screwed for the midterms

Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

Tight race in Tennesee’s TN-07 district tonight. Trump won this same district by about 30% one year ago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3C6...

I saw "2000 metres to Avdiivka" yesterday. It's an amazing, gut-wrenching film. Especially jarring for me was the juxtaposition of Ukrainian soldiers' sincerity and optimism amidst sacrifice and the cynical, cruel commentary by Western commentators criticizing and dooming the counteroffensive.

The fact that this was not bleeped indicates it could be a deliberate public desensitization exercise. For what purpose? Make Hegseth ordered murders acceptable, prep the public mind for when they take Maduro out.

In case anyone had any doubts Gutfeld is an evil person.

This is an ethnic cleansing campaign

I was asked by @ctvnews about the talks between US and Russia. I pointed out that sincere talks that would lead to a peace would require Ukrainians to be at the table. That these talks are mostly aimed at dividing Ukraine from the US and the US from Europe.

Ushakov is claiming that Witkoff and Kushner ‘promised’ the Russians that they wouldn’t go to Ukraine, wouldn’t meet with Zelenskyy, and would return to Washington instead.

Probably wanted to keep all that “Ann of the Green Gables” tourist revenue for themselves.

The glue of the emerging Russo-American alliance is corruption. The consequences will be more imperialist aggression and more war crimes.

NATO is reportedly preparing a “Plan B” if U.S.-led peace efforts on Ukraine fail, Svoboda reports. Eight alliance diplomats say Europe doubts any deal is possible. If talks collapse, the fallback is clear: more weapons for Ukraine, stronger economic support, and tougher sanctions against Russia.

This is so gross. Anyone who has lived in Minnesota (Minneapolis/St. Paul specifically) will tell you that the Somali population there is among the kindest and hardest-working people you'll ever meet.

“Russian President Vladimir Putin has underlined his true intentions by issuing a presidential decree calling for an escalation in efforts to eradicate all traces of Ukrainian identity from the approximately 20% of Ukraine currently under Kremlin control.” www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrain...

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

The official policy of the Trump Administration is ignorant bigotry. We’re asked, under principles including charity, to assume that people support the administration despite that policy, not specifically because of it. I am increasingly unwilling to extend that charity.

One of the four elements of malignant narcissism is sadism.

Are you prepared? Think extremely low short term rates.

Humans, an endlessly imaginative and creative species, can find a way to twist even the most benign, peaceful ideology into an excuse for selfishness and violence.

Matt Gaetz, James O’Keefe, and Laura Loomer have replaced the Pentagon press corps. I am not kidding. Look at the thread below. One of the military’s most critical lines of accountability is now a closed-circuit conspiracy carousel.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Riding up and down the escalator at DC Metro stations is not exactly “walking the beat”, but then they can’t act as LEOs either.

“President Trump said…” - Making sure your Prez is on the murder hook just as much as you are.

This is the most supercilious pic yet of that sanctimonious twit, Mike Johnson.

People used to say, with great confidence, that variable renewables could never safely provide more than 5% of grid power. That estimate has crept up ever since, though the "great confidence" part never wavers. Anyway, about China ...

tbf J.D. does have that effect on a lot of people.

Scoop: They tried to bury this news on Black Friday, but, well... Trump crypto partner Alt5 Sigma told the SEC its auditor quit in Nov. We called the auditor. He resigned in August. That's the second SEC filing with an apparent conflict that Alt5 Sigma has made in recent weeks. 1/

Entire Chain of Command Could Be Held Liable for Killing Boat Strike Survivors, Sources Say Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s actions could spark investigations for war crimes or outright murder, sources told The Intercept. theintercept.com/2025/12/02/h...

As data centers scale across Mumbai, the city faces mounting energy pressure and persistent inequality, revealing the uneven costs of India’s digital ambitions, Sushmita reports for Tech Policy Press.

One of the reasons servicemembers, from admirals and generals to the greenest private, should know “don’t follow illegal orders” is that this administration is a goulash of dishonorable character flaws like cowardice and dishonesty. There is no bus under which these pissants will not throw you.

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

Surprised we don’t see more of this. I would think most populous developed countries could make their own, except for the battery.

🤣

Pick one: 18 U.S.C. § 1111 (murder) or 18 U.S.C. § 2441 (war crime)

"It's throwing us – the servicemembers – under the bus." All servicemembers need to understand the window to escape is closing (and for some, has already shut). Look downrange: you're presently in front of the bus. bsky.app/profile/bgru...
