Democrats reveal whistleblower details of Ghislaine Maxwell prison โ€˜luxuriesโ€™ In a letter to the president, House Democrats say Maxwellโ€™s treatment as she prepares a clemency request makes the convicted sex offender look like a โ€œguest at a Trump hotel.โ€

"Maxwell has received custom meals personally delivered to her cell, after-hours time in a private exercise area, access to a service puppy, and private meetings with visitors arranged by the warden, complete with snacks. Visitors were allowed to bring computers..."

Red Hat Follows SUSE with EU Sovereignty Drive - FOSS Force Red Hat follows SUSEโ€™s lead with an EU support pledge -- raising the stakes in the race for European digital sovereignty.

Red Hat has announced that itโ€™s throwing its hat into the #DigitalSovereignty ring. Itโ€™s launching a program โ€” called Red Hat Confirmed Sovereign Support โ€” which will be available in early 2026, which isnโ€™t following exactly on the heels of SUSEโ€™s similar offering, but close enough. #FOSS #Linux

Agreed - no memorization. You just need to keep a manual or, better yet, a search engine nearby. Actually, I love asking ChatGPT how to do Linux command line stuff because it gives me complete answers to just copy and paste. And far less of that even needed these days. #linux #FOSS

I am so mad, sad, and sickened this morning that it is hard to put into words. Coming off the blue wave of last weekโ€™s election, this cowardly betrayal of the American people is infuriating and heartbreaking. Vote all of them out. Please!

Elise Stefanik fuses corporate greed, political power, and Americaโ€™s gun crisis into one self-serving machine that profits from bloodshed โ€” a full blown deadly cocktail.

Dear Walmart,

Consideeing you have more employees on SNAP than any other company โ€” instead of simply having a โ€˜cheaperโ€™ Thanksgiving bundle, how about giving your underpaid employees who must rely on SNAP for survival, one for free? Itโ€™s the least you can do. And I stress, the LEASTโ€ฆ

โ€” America

Senators reach tentative deal to end the government shutdown The deal, negotiated by a group of Democrats and GOP leaders, funds the government through Jan. 30. If it passes, it will still need to clear the House, which will likely take days.

Schumer voted no. To the Dems that voted yes screw you. People are going to lose healthcare and die.

Dr Annie Andrews is both honest and has a heart. Two things that JD Vance does not have and cannot comprehend.

Corporate profit surge, corporate CEOs get huge payoffs, they give golden bribes to the Oval Office... while costs rise, SNAP benefits are cut off, healthcare costs rise, and the US people suffer. So who does all of this serve? Who is "AI" serving?

Trump admin asks appeals court to pause judgeโ€™s requirement that it make full November SNAP payments | CNN Politics The Trump administration is asking a federal appeals court to pause a judgeโ€™s order that requires the government to fully cover food stamp benefits for tens of millions of Americans in November.

Just to make it clear, that is the President of the US fighting to prevent the needy people of the US from getting food. He is doing everything in his power to make sure that children and adults go hungry. That is the definition of evil.
Oh, and happy Thanksgiving. #FuckTrump #NoKings #8647

Ownership of Digital Content Is an Illusionโ€”Unless You Selfโ€‘Host Prices are rising across Netflix, Spotify, and their peers, and more people are quietly returning to the oldest playbook of the internet: piracy. Is the golden age of streaming over?

"Ownership, in the mainstream digital economy, is legal fiction unless you control the files, formats, keys, and servers. Most of us donโ€™t. We rent access dressed up as possession."
