💔 *Renee Nicole Good* was murdered by ICE in Minneapolis today. 💔 *Silverio Villegas Gonzalez* was murdered by ICE in Franklin Park, IL near Chicago in September. And, over the months, ICE agents have shot at others: see this article with the count from @thetrace.org, posted last month ⤵️

Trump/Hegseth/Rubio killed 40 Venezuelan civilians two days ago. They've been murdering random fishermen for weeks. Think about that. Really think about that. Think about shaking the hand of someone responsible for that. Think about writing a news article about them and not mentioning that.

Just like every year, a friendly PSA: “Feliz ano nuevo” means “happy new anus.” “Feliz año nuevo” means “happy new year.” Wishing folks either one is nice, but make sure you’re using the one you mean.

Daycare centers were also the primary target of the Satanic panic, because fundamentally American religious conservatism is opposed to women having jobs outside the home.

A little-noticed provision in the TRUMP AI Act would ban big tech platforms, including ostensibly Google, from distributing "sexual material harmful to minors" — a phrase routinely used by conservatives to ban not only porn, but sex ed, LGBTQ literature and repro rights resources.

reason.com

The TRUMP AMERICA AI Act is every bit as bad as you would expect. Maybe worse.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn’s latest is an anti-tech omnibus, combining years' worth of dangerous policy ideas into one big, bad bill.

“Self-deport” is a whitewashed way to describe “fleeing the country under the threat of state violence.” I agree with Maria here — it’s important to call that exactly what it is.

The home healthcare workers who took care of Grandma in her last years were some of the most exploited folks I’ve ever known: all women, almost all immigrants, being told that their ONLY job is to keep the customer—who may or may not be the patient—happy, regardless of the physical or emotional cost

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that. We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs. Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.

Incredible @matinastevis.bsky.social story about an asylum-seeker kept apart from her son and family as she ping-ponged back and forth between U.S. and Canadian immigration officials has a telling detail about ICE Air. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/w...

Screenshot of story text:
“You need to go because you are American,” Rahel told him. “I will stay here because I am Eritrean.” She smiled weakly, trying to put on a brave face for him. “Remember, mommy is a fighter and she’s going to fight,” she said.

Rahel was moved from one place to the next until eventually she boarded a plane, its destination unclear. She realized that, if there were an emergency, she would not be able to reach the oxygen mask with her shackled hands.

She complained to an ICE officer.

“Nothing we can do,” she said he told her. “These are the rules.”

She couldn’t stop imagining that the cabin would experience air loss and she would die trying to reach her mask.

When the plane landed, Rahel saw that another detainee had begun menstruating and blood had seeped through her clothes and onto her seat. She would remain like this, blood drenching her clothes, as she moved from the plane to buses and walked in front of dozens of officers.

“How can this be happening in America?” Rahel thought.

It's terrible to feel like your kids are unsafe. Imagine if there was a vanload of 'roid-raging gun-wielding thugs in riot gear tear-gassing their Halloween parade and raiding schools and daycares and dragging teachers and parents away in front of them. Do you feel bad for those kids, Katie Miller?

In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.

When there is no ballistic evidence, no damage from gunfire, no injuries, & DHS isn’t providing video evidence of the claim from their agents that someone fired shots, then I am going to call bullshit based on the 2 months of fabricated stories by federal officials that have been debunked by videos.
