Please signal boost. Need a wheelchair tech who can help troubleshoot in Silver Spring, MD.

We're a not-for-profit holiday site in Falkirk, Scotland, set up to fund maintenance of a listed building and mental health work. We have six quirky glamping lodges, each sleeping 4. One unit has special features for people travelling with cats, another for dogs. www.heartofscotlandholidays.com

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER. My latest in @thenation.com

I am looking to speak with individuals about their affordability concerns and issues they're experiencing this holiday season and the impact on their families. Please reach out to me at [email protected] or direct message me here. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021...

The Trump administration has fired, or tried to fire, many of the federal staff who manage and enforce federal disability law in schools. n.pr/48udkF5

America is a country that will test UBI hundreds of times, get the same radically positive results each time, and still look at it askance, but will also put untested robotaxis on the road because a billionaire threw a shit fit.

If you ever wondered what GOP gerrymandering looks like in red states with blue cities, I present:

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there. Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

There's a couple reasons so many IWW songs are set to the tunes of hymns and one is that the Salvation Army Band would show up and try to stop workers organizing by playing hymns to drown out speeches, so the Wobblies came up with words so they could sing along. SA has been trash all along.

I am so impressed by Aftyn's campaign getting this close. I want to give them props and they deserve massive rewards and praise for closing the gap this much with only 63% of the vote counted.

Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵

The average American income is below the poverty line in almost every major city. If you want people to shop, you need to pay them enough money that they can spend some of it. There is an actual limit to how many hours a day a person can work.

when Michael Phelps was dominating US swimming there was endless coverage of all his genetic advantages. His wingspan, the way his body processed lactic acid, on and on and on. Nobody, not one person, floated the idea of kicking him out of the sport for genetic advantages

As a resident of cursèd TN-5: I believe in you, TN-7. It’s my birthday, but I am still stuck with Ogles! I deserve for you to have nice things! Please do this for me. Please.

This isn’t what “war crimes” means, dog. If you look at the most important charges at Nuremberg, Tokyo, and as they relate to the Baltics — they are directly connected to *civilian deaths*

What was once a long-shot bid to flip a R+22 district in TN has turned into a tight race, with progressive Aftyn Behn, within two points of her GOP opponent, telling me that she can feel the "Republican eye of Sauron breathing down my neck." www.salon.com/2025/12/01/a...

Community notes don’t get much more brutal than this

What is Jared Kushner's job in the administration?

A+ headline work from the AP apnews.com/article/dona...

"She quit her $390k/yr job" is she fucking *crazy* does she not know how precarious shit is, how fast her spouse can lose their job, how fast you can burn through your savings with one big medical disaster

People argue and deny this because it's terrifying to accept that you are one random bad luck incident away from being dependent on a food pantry and applying for rent or mortgage assistance, and a couple of random bad luck incidents from losing absolutely everything. It's scary. It's also real.

Everyone wants to distance themselves from the poor because it feels nice to look down and say “at least that’s not me.” It could be any of us at any time. That’s how the system is set up. Bills and financial responsibilities don’t stop because you can’t work. There’s no shame in admitting it.

All of these companies should be taxed into the ground and required to pay living wages.

BREAKING: Troy Nehls (R, TX, CD-22) will not seek re-election.

#TN7 — MOUNT JULIET mom @lindseypatrickwright on Rep. @aftynbehn.bsky.social : "She's not a career politician, but she is a politician with a backbone. And that's who we need.”

She f*cken warned us. Damn you who didn’t listen.

When he is gone this needs to be turned into something useful.

a few candidates have talked about this but any Dem planning to run in 2028 should make it explicit: the next DOJ will, in fact, go after you if you’re funding this awful ballroom, or any other pay to play deals you make with this administration

Pete Hegseth's WAR CRIMES and what we do about it. Our troops are in danger!

“Inside were details of the commercial and economic plans the Trump administration had been pursuing with Russia, including jointly mining rare earths in the Arctic.” Dear @democrats.senate.gov : please launch an investigation. Why has Trump done a quid pro quo with Putin for our Alaskan resources?

Bombing Supposed Drug Boats only to Pardon the Guy Responsible for letting it in? Even MAGA ain't this stupid.

President Trump, I am calling on you to fire Secretary Kennedy immediately. He has contributed to this measles outbreak by spreading falsehoods about vaccines. His reckless rhetoric will cost lives.

Marco Rubio knew the truth 9 years ago, but he sold his soul for power. Yet he was correct: He will one day have to explain his support for Trump, and this is not going to end well.

Indiana Senate Republican Greg Walker “said he would have reported the alleged violation to federal authorities “if I thought that there was anyone of integrity in Washington that would follow through on my accusation ..” @adamwren.bsky.social #redistrict dailyjournal.net/2025/11/26/s...

Happening now near Canal Street, federal agents had been staging inside a fed owned parking garage, now being confronted by a group of protesters. masked agents are looking on from above.

Friends, head over to Substack and read our friend Earl’s latest piece. Might be an inconvenient truth, but it is the truth that many need to read, ponder, and share.

They done finally laid Duolingo to rest

Can you help? Please share if you would. Thx!

These guys are great! I donate every year and may I suggest that some of the crafts they sell on behalf of the elders make great Christmas presents?

A drawing from 2016 which feels relevant for my American friends today

When the strongest argument for your policy is a list of lies (I count 7) and exaggerations (another 5), you reveal more than a wonky list of truths ever would.

Well. This was a thing I just listened to. LOL www.youtube.com/watch?v=hybL...

Mashallah, the skillet focaccia is done

This dog must be who mine trains under for her actions when I do food prep and cooking.

It’s noon. How many dads have set their yards or houses on fire so far I wonder?

If they want to slow down the Trump administration, Democrats should begin promising this *now*
