And it is of course fierce, trenchant, and to the point and everyone should read it.

probably not a great sign that Trump's assistant AG for civil rights uses a slur for people with disabilities

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: - It’s ‘voilà,’ not ‘wallah!’ - It’s ‘a lot,’ not ‘alot.’ - It’s ‘further ado,’ not ‘farther adieu.’ - It’s ‘flesh out,’ not ‘flush out.’ - It’s ‘sneak peek,’ not ‘sneak peak.’ No worries if not!!!

Lazy Caturday enjoying her new bed. Happy to be inside instead of in the ❄️❄️❄️❄️

“We live during a time where all the institutions and corporations I worked for—or leaders I looked up to—they caved or remained silent, so we are now finding hope in everyday people…” www.thebulwark.com/p/defiance-i...

Bending your institution to meet the prejudices of your dumbest, meanest students is a surefire way to destroy a university. Now any student can just scrawl “the Bible says this is wrong” on any test and skate to an A at the Oklahoma Football Outlet and Diploma Factory.

The Cracker Barrel thing was THIS YEAR. We have three more years of this shit. Anybody who makes it to 2028 without looking like Nosferatu will be required by the state to start a skincare brand.

The Streisand effect remains undefeated

Missouri is already projected to lose $500 million this year by cutting the capital gains tax. We are set to another lose 2/3rds of our state revenue by cutting the income tax. I honestly don’t know what will become of the state, but I think it’s going to be very bad. Republicans can’t govern.

Hate to say it, but you should no longer trust anything from CBS News. I'm sure there are great reporters there trying to do honest work, but how can we know anymore? If they're willing to kill a Trump-critical 60 Minutes segment at the order of Bari Weiss, it's been over.

This.

The more authoritarian a country (👀 looking at you, U.S.) the more susceptible to conspiracy theories. Quality of democracy "plays a protective role against the acceptance of unwarranted beliefs."

I am IN, @kerrykennedy.bsky.social. So many of us are in.

When Leo Feler got home, there was blood everywhere. On his front door, the window sills, the foyer. This wasn’t some tragic accident or a murder scene; rather, while he was out of town to run a marathon, immigration agents had decided to attack the workers replacing windows on his house.

The U.S. is giving dying mall vibes. I can't explain it, but you know I'm right.

Senator for Washington State.

He’s gotta go.

No big deal, but the Alberta government just increased the fee to submit a citizen initiated petition from $500 to $25, 000. After the separatism initiative was approved, but before Corb Lund's coal mining petition gets re-approved. No political shenanigans going on here.

Yes.

ICE repeatedly questioning and detaining Native Americans is proof the raids aren’t targeting people based on their citizenship status, but on the color of their skin.

NEW: Without USAID funding to help buy food for refugees, the World Food Program rushed to prioritize families based on need, determining that only half the population would get food. Refugees learned which half they were in from a number stamped on the back of their ration card.

Fully agree. I hope more sporting organizations and businesses follow Skate Canada’s leadership. We all must stand up and speak out against discrimination. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

thanks for this excellent thread, seth!

Rob Reiner, the legendary director and actor who rose to prominence in 'All in the Family' and went on to direct classics 'This Is Spinal Tap,' 'Stand by Me,' and 'The Princess Bride,' was found dead in his home alongside his wife. Story: rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

Progressive Conservative joins Progressive Conservative party

Religion note: Remember that pastor who was arrested protesting an ICE detention facility outside Chicago recently? The one who was photographed on the ground as officers arrested him? That's Rev. Michael Woolf, and this is his church.

Sum: RFK Jr is wrong, wrong, wrong. Yet again. The HPV vaccine is safe and cuts cervical cancer risk by 80%, large reviews find www.nbcnews.com/health/healt... via @nbcnews.com "The vaccine works. Full stop." "The vaccine is safe. Full stop." #VaccinesWork #ScienceMatters

Hey, it’s Franklin. Coming over to play. I mean, to clarify things in the most polite way possible. #HandsOffOurTurtle

Honestly, @lukaszukab.bsky.social is a Canadian hero. One in seven!

everything about this is awful

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

Happy Thursday, Canada 🍁

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

You can walk away. Before the shame follows you home. #StopICE

How Oregon’s Data Center Boom Is Supercharging a Water Crisis Amazon has come to the state’s eastern farmland, worsening a water pollution problem that’s been linked to cancer and miscarriages. Rolling Stone reports in collaboration with @thefern.org: www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

The stretches and the yawns....happy lazy #caturday to those we celebrate

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I hope Albertans will remember that trans kids and teens are living breathing humans who just want to be themselves, without fear of hate and discrimination. Demonizing kids merely to score political points in some weird culture war is craven and cruel.

Who's next? Now that the notwithstanding clause has become a routine policymaking tool for the UCP, we need to look ahead to their next targets. This month's AGM will provide clues.

This all-male panel is deciding whether South Carolina women can be charged with murder for their pregnancies — and whether birth control and pro-choice websites stay legal. This a real thing happening today. Don't look away.

GREEN IS THE COLOUR

NEW: In his first interview since his arrest for protesting outside the Chicago-area ICE facility, @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social tells me he has "bruises all over my body." Even so, he said, “the cruelty that goes on that facility … must be 100 times worse." religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

💔

I've been reposting everyone replying to this post with their own ACA (and sometimes employer!) price hikes. Feel free to add yours. There is some comfort in knowing you aren't alone and knowing we'll all be voting on this issue in a year. Chuck Schumer should be chucked out. #chuckchuck
