When this ends there will be calls not to prosecute people who broke the law while following orders and there will be calls not to impose social or professional, much less legal, sanctions on officeholders who stood by, for unity’s sake. It will be important to ignore them; heeding them got us here.

This is why the NEA is unfazed by their bullshit.

While Mr. Mamdani was not a target of the hack, the information about him was included in a database of millions of student applications to Columbia going back decades. The data was shared with The Times by an intermediary who goes by the name Crémieux on Substack and X and who is an academic and an opponent of affirmative action. The Times agreed to withhold his real name.

Always curious to see who gets to be an anonymous source!

The top 1% of Washingtonians will see the 9th largest tax windfall (~$90,000/year) from this monstrosity of a bill. Remember that as certain state leaders parrot corporate donor messaging in hopes they can get us to give up on protecting health care, food security, and immigrant rights.

HOT 🔥 COMMIE ✊ SUMMER ☀️

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

note that AOC, who is very good at this, is only hitting the points we know

Neither Jeffries, nor Schumer, nor Martin are capable of meeting the existential threat of this moment.

They should all step aside in favor of those able to provide meaningful opposition to an illegal war being waged by a demented psychopath.

1. If you want hope in this dark moment, listen to chant of "no more war" that broke out in the very large crowd that came out to hear Bernie Sanders in Tulsa, Oklahoma. There is only one off-ramp from Trump's mad rush to war: the quick mobilization of an anti-war opposition. The people are ready.

Like milk in the summer sun

"Vote if you want your nuclear holocaust to have sensible middle-class tax policy!!!!!"

We did it, Joe!

If you don’t know @bdproctor.bsky.social’s amazing historical research and writing, you really should.

And when he tells you that we are now facing an existential threat to democracy, you should listen.

I just have to say, as a historian of the Reconstruction-era Klan, that masked paramilitaries are very bad and masked vigilantes are even worse and there are causal links between the two and none of this is good for democracy.

So I just want to be clear that the gentile President's anti-immigrant goons illegally assaulted and kidnapped the leading Jewish candidate for Mayor in New York City for walking into a federal building

for the crowd that is keeping track of The Antisemitism Problem

Trump told the entire 10 million population of Tehran to evacuate; said the US has "total control" of the skies over Iran; threatened to kill Iran's leader; and posted "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!"

And Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have not said a word yet.

text screenshot: Mike Huckabee > Mr President, God spared you in Butler, PA to be the most consequential President in a century-maybe ever. The decisions on your shoulders I would not want to be made by anyone else. You have many voices speaking to you Sir, but there is only ONE voice that matters. HIS voice. | am your appointed servant in this land and am available for you but I do not try to get in your presence often because I trust your instincts. No President in my lifetime has been in a position like yours. Not since Truman in 1945. I don't reach out to persuade you. Only to encourage you. I believe you will hear from heaven and that voice is far more important than mine or ANYONE else's. You sent me to Israel to be your eyes, ears and voice and to make sure our flag flies above our embassy. My job is to be the last one to leave. I will not abandon this post. Our flag will NOT come down! You did not seek this moment. This moment sought YOU! It is my honor to serve you! Mike Huckabee

Trump just shared this alarming text from Israeli Ambassador Mike Huckabee, effusively praising him while telling him that no president has been in his position "since Truman in 1945" (when the U.S. dropped the atomic bomb on Japan) & that he "will hear a voice from heaven" telling him what to do.

A reminder: Israeli Ambassador Mike Huckabee believes that Israel is central to triggering the rise of the Antichrist, the rapture, the return of Christ, the battle of Armageddon, and, you know, the end of the world, generally.

@bradlander.bsky.social has been regularly doing accompaniments and volunteering as a legal observer. ICE clearly singled him out to punish him for bringing attention to what they are doing. This is political persecution.

hey remember this

There’s a free app from Consumer Reports called Permission Slip that will try to get them to delete your info for you

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.

Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.

Their inaction is deadly.

Trump’s Defense secretary nominee has close ties to Idaho Christian nationalists • Idaho Capital Sun Pete Hegseth, president-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for secretary of Defense, has close ties to an Idaho-based Christian nationalist church.

Hegseth's right up there with Huckabee even if he has the rare sense not to talk about it too much publicly. Vought's all in too: idahocapitalsun.com/2024/11/21/t...

Damn, that's crazy, I wonder if anyone has a recording of the event to figure out who was telling the truth. If only there were journalists who worked for this organization who could find out what happened!

Beginning to think Joe Biden’s complete fealty to Benjamin Netanyahu wasn’t great for American national security interests after all
