I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

How does this guy still have a job - imagine being the parent of one of the undergraduates in his fall course right now. Or being one of the female undergrads. Disgusting.

Letting people go hungry in this shutdown is a choice Trump is intentionally making.   He could tell the USDA to use contingency funds to ensure families get their SNAP benefits on November 1st, he’s just choosing not to.

Controlling the media is one of the items on the authoritarian checklist; this includes not just hard news, and increasingly social media, but also threatening satirists who mock the regime. The FCC is pushing this control, but corporations do not have to fold. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

As the dissents point out, the majority constantly contradicts its own recent decisions to fit the result they want. Ie: a HS football coach leading a Christian prayer does not violate other students religious rights, but a storybook with LGBT characters does. On some level they must know this.

We make jokes about this sometimes because it’s laughable. But when journalists try to make sense of the nonsensical, rational out of the irrational, and coherence out of the incoherence, they affirmatively do the public interest great harm.

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality. Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.
