That’s exactly the point of felon disenfranchisement. The original idea was specifically to prevent Black citizens from voting. And nothing has really changed.

For those less familiar with Czech politics, here’s some background. Okamura is a real disaster and embarrassment.

🚨 💰 WOW — @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn snuck a provision into the spending bill that would let them sue the government for $500,000 because Jack Smith looked into their phone records around Trump’s insurrection.

The Republican grifting is endless. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...

Right, she simply adores him for his charming personality, his quick wit and movie-star good looks. 🙂

🇦🇺 Australia is buying Russian oil to circumvent sanctions, - The Guardian.

Energy supplies from Russia are being delivered to Singapore’s Jurong port, which is partly owned by the Australian investment fund Macquarie.

Australia may have received over 3 million tons of petroleum products since 2023

The depth in which this administration goes to be cruel is beyond comprehension.

Maybe Don’t Talk to the New York Times About Zohran Mamdani It’s remarkable, the people you’ll hear from. Teach for even a little while at an expensive institution—the term they tend to prefer is “elite”—and odds are that eventually someone who was a studen…

This is a terrific piece of writing and insight about where we are with the Times, and where the Times is with us.

Any Democrat who "trusts" notoriously deceitful Republicans to keep their word on an ACA vote deal is too naive/stupid to be in office.

Let's fix that next time they are up for election. #PrimaryTheIdiots

Even with 2 parties, the system could be made more representative. Get rid of the electoral college, and make congressional representation proportional to the votes a party receives per state, rather than by individual districts that can be badly gerrymandered.

For Trump: Seafood towers at Mar-A-Lago

For Americans: Bread lines

Congress voted in based on single seats from individual districts, allowing gerrymandering and potential fraud to have outsized impact. Switch to seats allocated by state in proportion to the votes received by party and make gerrymandering obsolete.

Op Margraten zijn twee panelen over zwarte Amerikaanse bevrijders van Nederland opeens weg. ‘Past bij beleid van de regering-Trump’ Monument: Op de Amerikaanse begraafplaats in Margraten is het opeens stil geworden rond de zwarte Amerikanen die hielpen Nederland bevrijden.

Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in WWII have been removed from a cemetery in Limburg, after the Heritage Foundation sharply objected to any mention of the role played by Blacks.

“I’ve been a minimum wage worker my whole life. I feel like my government is attacking their own people.”

Right, because the appropriate place for prayer is really in public schools.

Get 'em!

If Target really wants to improve its financials, I have some proposals that will be a lot more effective than fake smile requirements…

Sleepy Don falls asleep during a press conference in the Oval Office.

Sounds like a great idea, but unfortunately the GOP has zero interest in either common sense or compromise. Their goals are to enrich billionaires, harm the non-billionaire population, and protect high-profile pedophiles.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

According to the video, this woman was reporting sexual abuse in Riverside Court House & was accosted by ICE.

What if she were your daughter, sister, mother or wife?

How does this #ICELawlessness make us safer?

Geez the right wingers are really reaching here. Why is it so hard to imagine that a cheerful, positive candidate with policy plans to benefit the bulk of the non-billionaire population would win a lot of votes?

If your flight is canceled and you no longer want to take the trip, or have found another way of getting to your destination, the airline is legally required to refund your money, even if you bought a non-refundable ticket. You can thank Pete Buttigeg.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

Sounds about right. Cuomo and Adams are self-absorbed, selfish and petty little people.
