This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.

His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

A multicolored quilt made of of scraps with the words WE KNOW WHAT WE SAW staggered down it with a large beautiful eye centered between the words. The eye has a rainbow camera aperture as the iris. It is quilted densely.

Another resistance quilt finished this week. The eye is my own design, the letters are a fpp pattern by QuiltByNight, the rounded corners and black binding are meant to resemble the phones we the people are using to document the horrors and disprove the government’s lies about what they are doing.

So the “tight end” ad was good: funny, got message across effectively

Blumenthal: ICE and CBP are out of control. The practices of this agency have to be completely overhauled. It’s like a corporation in bankruptcy—either dissolved or reorganized. They’re morally bankrupt, legally bankrupt, and politically bankrupt.

Liam made people look. Now don’t look away.

We still have children in ICE custody eating bad food, drinking questionable water, living in filthy conditions, and carrying a lifetime of trauma they shouldn’t have to survive.

lol I went back and checked the tape and the full quote is actually even nerdier than I remembered — and in the recording, you can hear the crowd *loving it.*

Worse than Kent State, really than any episode I can think of probably dating back to Reconstruc & earlier b/c

1. continuing, not 1 off.
2. organized, not individual ofcrs losing it
3. literally at hand of federal government, which is
4. immediately lying & circling the wagons to prevent inves.

I mean this sincerely, I like that they set up all the Trump administration's lawlessness in MPLS -- arresting toddlers, claiming they can enter homes, using pepper spray sadistically, etc. -- and then they close out the front page with Smith challenging Trump's lawlessness. Well done.

No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

Also in here: reaction from Rev. David Black, the Presbyterian Church (USA) minister who went viral after footage was shared of DHS agents shooting him in the head and body with pepper balls as he was praying outside an ICE facility.

My latest. Trump’s lies lead directly to the killing of Renee Good by ICE. And those lies, and the violence they are spawning, are coming for us all.

Political cartoonists are not fuckin’ around this week. (thread)

Barack Obama comments on the death of Rob Reiner and his wife. "This is what Presidential Leadership looks like."

This is what Presidential Leadership looks like at the time of an unfathomable American tragedy.

When Trump insults women’s looks, don't buy into it by assessing the women's looks. After Trump called a reporter “Piggy,” some folks posted her photo. DON’T! Who cares what she looks like? Today, Trump called another reporter “ugly.” The issue isn't her. It's the ugliness in Trump's broken brain.

As ICE descends on Charlotte, faith leaders draw on other cities' actions to aid immigrants (RNS) — As many as 500 people, a mix of clergy and other volunteers, have appeared at the training sessions on how to counter ICE.

NEW: Churches in Charlotte are hosting trainings on how to response to ICE agents — with *hundreds* filling pews.

At one training, a child led those gathered in "This Little Light of Mine" — but changed the words to “All around Border Patrol, I’m gonna let it shine" religionnews.com/2025/11/20/a...

Yeah okay, abolish ICE or whatever OR

Eliminate the Department of Homeland Security altogether. Move TSA back to Transportation and restore FEMA as an independent agency. Sort the other half-dozen component agencies back into their natural homes.

Less criminal abuse and around $40 billion savings.

DO NOT CAVE!

There he goes again

How Lego MRI scanner sets are reducing anxiety in children undergoing medical treatment Lego's MRI scanner play sets, which launched in 2023, are significantly reducing anxiety and the use of sedation in children, according to new research.

Lego MRI scanner set (donated to hospitals) a big help for kids who need scans:

"more than 1 million children globally have used the sets to help them prepare...96% of healthcare professionals said the model helps to reduce children's anxiety, and 46% reported a lesser need to use sedation"

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

The No Kings protests aren’t about hating America.

The No Kings protests are about hating what Trump is doing to America.

Summer concert. Singing the blues.

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

This is the right approach — speak to them as you would an especially stupid child, spell out their crimes and your contempt clearly.

If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.

I wish most lawmakers understood that the best way to communicate with young voters is not "speaking their language." Young voters don't want pandering. They want authentic strength on the issues important to them. You don't have to "speak Gen-Z." Just be yourself and show that you give a damn.

Conan: You know, Anora is having a good night. That's great news. Two wins already. I guess Americans are excited to see somebody finally stand up to a powerful Russian.
