There is no legitimate reason not to release the complete Sep. 2 video.

They released video of the first strike. What national security justification could there be for releasing video of the first part of the action but not the second? They wanted to cover up what happened after the first strike.

"Not all of us are criminals."

Hassett Backs Call for Fed Presidents to Have Lived in Districts National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett backed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s call for a new residency requirement in the appointment of presidents of Federal Reserve banks.

Yeah this is bad. Trump admin appears to be laying the groundwork to purge regional Fed presidents, all of whom are up for reappointment in February.

This political cartoon by Paul Duginski, titled "Prison Industry Champagne Dreams," contrasts the suffering of immigrants with the financial gain of the private prison industry. The cartoon is subtitled "The Agony and the Ecstasy". The left panel shows an immigrant in handcuffs, with the sound effect "CLINK!" representing the cuffs closing. The right panel shows hands toasting with champagne glasses, with the same sound effect "CLINK!" representing the glasses clinking together. Tiny dollar signs float from the champagne glasses.

Paul Duginski really nailed it with this political cartoon. Follow the money, it always leads you to the corruption.

The default posture of the Democrats to the GOP is the “fever will break.” That’s been their stance for over 40 years, meanwhile the fucking patient (America) is almost dead.

Gaza is still suffering genocide as Israel kills Palestinians

Healthcare still isn't secured as Republicans try to gut ACA

SNAP is still in danger as Trump is blocking it to Blue states

Hegseth is still SOW despite killing fishermen

Epstein files still aren't released as Trump's DOJ is delaying

I love a good Manhattan and I love a good Sazerac. Interesting to see @maddow.bsky.social making a Manhattan using Sazerac on the @colbertlateshow.bsky.social She did use Angostura, not Peychaud’s, but I didn’t recognize the vermouth. Though I prefer a cherry not a twist, I’d still like to try it.🥃🤨

This makes me so sad. I found a porcupine quill in the forests near me (northern NJ) a few months ago, I would love to see one in person.

We should do this. @corybooker.com @booker.senate.gov you are running for reelection, run on affordability.

It was definitely the brain.

“We’ll Smash the Fucking Window Out and Drag Him Out” We’ve documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office. ICE claims its officers use a “mini...

Earlier this year, we documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office.

ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.”

You can judge for yourself.

So much grifting. So much corruption. It is nauseating.

Remember Thomas Jacob Sanford, the Iraq veteran who burned up a Mormon Church in September? Remember Nigel Edge, the Iraq veteran sniper who shot up a bar from his boat in Cape Fear, also in September?

Keep track of how differently we speak of them than Rahmanullah Lakanwal.

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

THANK YOU! I yelled WTAF so loudly when I read that headline, I startled my dog who was peacefully sleeping.

Who brokered the purchase of Juan Orlando Hernández's pardon from Trump? How was it done?

Everything looks as dry AF.

Just like something else in her house…

Bergen County NJ here, happy to hop over into Rockland and help out.

This absurd pardon shows the murderous boat bombings were never about stopping drugs

Words matter.

Thank you @evolvingempathy.bsky.social for sharing this excellent conversation between @cwarzel.bsky.social and @eliothiggins.bsky.social

@jbf1755.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social have you seen this discussion about information and counterpublics? You both are essential verifications for me!

ALL THIS. OMG I feel like some journalists live in another world.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.

🌎 From Black Friday to Cyber Monday, workers and allies across 30+ countries unite to say: Enough is enough. It's time to #MakeAmazonPay. Join us in demanding fair wages, union rights, environmental responsibility, and tax justice! 📣

It. Is. Murder.

Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.
