Right wing troll who pretends to live in places he does not is upset with Twitter for revealing his actual location. How's he supposed to con people if it does that? So not fair!!!

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.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

The revelations (that we all basically knew) that some of the largest MAGA influencers on social media are paid trolls from other parts of the world is exactly why I don't debate these Internet bros online.

Like Toni Morrison said, the very purpose of racism is distraction. Don't fall for it.

Senate sends bill to release Epstein files to Trump Trump said Monday he would sign the bill, but the files still may not be released any time soon.

Reminder that Trump doesn't actually need to sign this bill. What he needs to do is release the full Epstein files, which he has resisted for YEARS.

It's not about the bill, it's about the action.

Increasing housing affordability through resident-owned communities

The USA desperately needs more housing, but it needs to be affordable, safe, and quality.

This pledge could be a good thing, but we will need to keep pressure on to ensure it actually benefits people, and doesn't put them in further debt.

ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Bloomington sex trafficking sting, police say According to Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges, officers started the three-day sting on Nov. 5. They used several methods to find people who were attempting to solicit a 17-year-old girl for sex.

A guy tried to use his ICE job as a way to get out of an arrest for soliciting a minor for sex.

"When he was arrested, he said 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Bloomington, MN, Police Chief Booker Hodges said at a press conference. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

ICE is dangerous for children.

Federal Court Blocks Texas Gerrymander for 2026, Appeal Expected Read more here.

🚨BREAKING: A panel of three federal judges ruled to block Texas from using its new racially gerrymandered congressional map in the upcoming 2026 election — dealing a significant blow to President Donald Trump’s national effort to rig the 2026 election by creating more Republican congressional seats.

Whoa: A federal court just barred Texas from using its new congressional map, drawn by the GOP to target Dems.

"Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map."

Court says the old map must be used in 2026. Appeals are certain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

When Texas tried to steal 5 seats, I said to watch the litigation my law firm had filed because we had a good chance of winning in court. Today a federal court BLOCKED THE MAP.
