This is stunningly good reporting by two bylined reporters and six credited researchers, and it's undermined throughout by links to an "Ask the Post AI" that delivers insipid answers to its own contrived prompts under the guise of "More context on this article"

The president is a lunatic

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Osama. Osama was studying software development and programming before the war. His university and home were destroyed. He is trying to help his family survive and leave Gaza including his younger brothers Hamza, 20 and Abib, 15.

you're telling me a right-wing catholic convert is just a protestant in disguise? shocked

For many environmental advocates, the COP30 climate negotiations ended this weekend in disappointment. In part, experts say, that’s because of the United States, which had been noticeably absent from the summit.

A group of federal workers who were laid off during the government shutdown are accusing the Trump administration of violating the law by failing to rehire them once federal agencies reopened. nyti.ms/43PIXHK

Landlords could no longer rely on rent-pricing software to quietly track each other's moves and push rents higher using confidential data, under a settlement between RealPage Inc. and federal prosecutors. n.pr/3XiBDAJ

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

If you want to help a family who has raised very little ❤️

The final agreement from COP30 does not align with science and leaves millions of people in frontline communities “exposed to the worst impacts and with few options for their survival,” Oxfam Brasil executive director Viviana Santiago told @markhertsgaard of @coveringclimatenow.org.

A new Coast Guard policy recasts swastikas and nooses as merely “politically divisive," deletes protections for transgender men and women, and suggests hazing has military utility www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/u...

Hey #Kentucky - the #NewPower PAC has weekly #GOTV phone banks for the special election on December 16th! Help elect Gary Clemons to Senate District 37 (in #LouisvilleKY) www.mobilize.us/kftc/event/8...

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

People are roasting this lede, but NYM is actually correct to print it. Toilet paper is so scarce in prisons that it is sometimes used as a currency. It shouldn't be restricted, for any person, but the fact that it isn't for her (and her alone) is a sign of extremely special treatment.

NEW: The most important Sunday read. Drug courts are saving lives. Red states love them. People depend on them. But Trump could very well blow it all up via @citizencohn.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/drug-treat...

Though Trump’s pardons can’t extend to state crimes, I think it’s worth pointing out the message being conveyed: Trump’s allies are alleged to have stolen data from state voting systems in an effort to help him overturn an election he lost. Now he’s pardoning them for it. bsky.app/profile/anna...

▶️Starbucks union baristas have voted to authorize an open-ended strike. ▶️The strike would disrupt Red Cup Day, one of the company’s biggest sales days of the year, and potentially the broader holiday season. ▶️Workers United began organizing Starbucks locations in 2021.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

WOW — MICROSOFT LAWYER: “Nobody really wants a data center in their backyard, they don’t bring a lot of jobs.”🤔 Speaking of which, hey MEMPHIS did y’all get a list of jobs Musk’s xAI delivered yet?? @mayorpaulyoung @memphischamber

I'm so glad that @kftc-1981.bsky.social is a member of the #welcomehomeky coalition! Join us in the work to expunge unfair evictions, and to fight for funding for community land trusts across #Kentucky www.mobilize.us/kftc/event/8...

Studio Ghibli, Bandai Namco, Square Enix demand OpenAI stop using their content to train AI

You have to know that lawyers told Sammy boy that this was inevitable so you can’t even imagine what kind of obscene hubris flavors the air at OpenAI

New #poetry - from me! joegallenstein.wordpress.com/2025/11/03/l...

Great labor history thread from…the menswear guy?

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing. Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

Jeffrey Epstein’s little black book is one of the most cursed documents ever compiled in this miserable, dying country. And, yes, Trump's name is in it.

This is identity politics over material interests btw but it’s white identity politics so it’s fine bsky.app/profile/pete...

We are at the point where our federal workers can't afford basic food needs. Imagine when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November. Trump & Republicans own this shutdown and the destruction it brings.

President Trump has used the federal shutdown to seize control of spending from Congress and mold much of the government to his liking. Now the White House is poised to defang the agency in the middle of the shutdown and the fight over constitutional powers.

SNAP, the country's largest anti-hunger program, dates back to the Great Depression and has never been disrupted this way. Most recipients are seniors, families with kids, and those with disabilities.

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

Anyone like #StarTrek and #Poetry? joegallenstein.wordpress.com/2025/10/20/s...

So when the next small town hospital posts a “Closed for business’’ sign, remember who to thank.<br/>

A national security reporter at the right-wing Epoch Times newspaper has resigned after the publication signed on to rules restricting news gathering within the Pentagon.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Abeer. Abeer lost her husband (along with his entire family) in a bombing two years ago. She also recently lost both her brother and sister. She is trying to rebuild and take care of her two children, Makeen, 4 and Masa, 2 on her own.

utterly depressing that Nixon-level scandals are now a normal Friday night news drop, barely remarked upon, just another day in Trump’s America

"This probable decision comes in the midst of an attempted autocratic takeover of the U.S. government in which elections are the only real recourse for the defenders of constitutional and democratic rule."

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohammed. Mohammed was finishing his studies to be a civil engineer in Rafah. His home and the small farm that him and his family had were destroyed. He’s now trying to survive with his large family, including many small children, in tents.

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act. I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.

NEW: I took a long look at the Proud Boys and found some of their most extreme chapters are sharing ICE recruiting materials on encrypted apps and even suggesting members have joined up. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/in-the-...

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

More CDC Cuts :: NCHS Edition 📊🔫 At least 1/3 of the staff at the National Center for Health Statistics has been cut (and remain cut). This is catastrophic for our nation’s health data. Say goodbye to national health statistics that you can trust, healthcare surveys, NHANES and data systems.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day 👇🏼
