Today was a very stupid day but I have faith tomorrow will be stupider

My son came home with a Pre-K report card; I read it and was thrilled. My husband read it and was baffled. I read it and anchored on the lines that really matter: "He excels quickly in all his math assignments and has mastered the math and reading concepts presented." My husband focused on the extra full page on "social emotional growth" commentary and looked confused the whole time. "What does any of this mean?" "Nothing," I said. "Ignore it." And then that evening we explained to our son the lesson that is going to get him through his life: "People will put up with many things if you are excellent at math. You're so good at math. We're proud of you." And that was that. There are many important posts going viral today about the tragedy of young men. Combatting the systems that seek to destroy their nature begins in the home, and it begins young. I don't care about the "social emotional growth" of my sons because I know what values we're instilling in them. Telling them what really matters begins with dad and mom. The family can be a reprieve from all the nonsense. It requires constant vigilance, but it's the first step in preparing them for the madness outside. 8:09 AM • 11/11/25 • 1.3M Views

Schumer allows a provision to go into the supposedly “clean” CR to allow people like Ted Cruz to file lawsuits for money over Jack Smith’s J6 investigation. Amazing Dem leadership in the senate. Thanks Chuck!

There is no Dem who thinks that Schumer voting No washes his hands of it. He is the captain of the ship and owns the process and end result. If he can’t run the team, then someone else needs to. Hopefully the other Dem senators understand the mood of the voters. If not, you will.

Add your name: American Jews reject the ADL’s racist “Mamdani Monitor” If the ADL wants to keep Jews isolated from our allies and neighbors, their time as Jewish leaders is over.

The ADL just launched “Mamdani Monitor” — a website to surveil the new mayor. If they want to keep Jews scared and isolated from our allies and neighbors, their time as Jewish leaders is over. Add your name to the petition from @bendthearc.bsky.social

Relieved that voters resoundingly rejected this fascist bullshit.

Angry that we still have at least another year of it, probably another three, and that we're by no means in the clear.

Livid that it all could have been avoided if we had simply not reelected the asshole who tried a coup.

You really have to hand it to the people who came up with the concept of “cancel culture” — it’s a tremendously flexible tool usable by everybody. Why, here it is being used to explain why an organization nominally about values can’t reject overt antisemites.

One of the Most Dangerous Interviews Ever in MAGA Media Why Tucker Carlson platformed white supremacist Nick Fuentes.

Tucker Carlson's interview with Nick Fuentes is even worse for the right—and America—than it looks.

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

She did X when in office and can now do Y as a public citizen is so banal in every conceivable way. Observing so, not funny in any conceivable way.

I’m speechless, I am without speech

Exclusive: US military officials required to sign NDAs tied to Latin America mission, sources say U.S. military officials involved with President Donald Trump's expanding operations in Latin America have been asked to sign non-disclosure agreements, three U.S. officials say, a development that raises new questions about a military buildup that Venezuela fears may lead to an invasion.

I don't understand this. Members of the military are required to keep national defense information secret - no NDA needed.Unless it's about unlawful orders? I wish we could see a copy of the NDA. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

I think the proliferation of online betting apps and ads for them is a danger to society and requires much tighter regulation

um, well, okay then

After Law Firm Deals With Trump, D.C. Bar Warns of Ethical Jeopardy

Wow. "Months after law firms made deals with President Trump to ward off punitive executive orders, the ethics committee of the District of Columbia Bar is warning that such arrangements may require firms to drop or obtain waivers from all clients who have interests at odds with the government."

We live in an episode of Veep

BREAKING: Secretary of Energy Chris Wright announces government investigation into “so-called solar energy,” including possible heath risks of “solar radiation” from solar panels and concerns that solar energy initiatives “may use up all of the sun, leaving us dark and cold.”

i cannot believe that “mamdani calls a close adult relative an ‘aunt’ even if they are not literally their parent’s sister” is what counts as a “scandal” these days

Birds!!

Price should list the tariff separately (it's imported, without a doubt)

Of course, that’s not what he was saying. He was pointing out what was obviously true to anyone alive then - there was a big backlash against Muslim-Americans and anyone with an Arab-sounding name right after 9/11. But Vance has to be an asshole 24/7 for his MAGA troll fans.

Any Reagan Foundation staff, and any lawyers who help them, should be named and humiliated into the Stone Age, made socially and legally radioactive, if they try any bullshit.

G-d he’s so dim

A helpful chart from @jvl.bsky.social that explains the Republican decision-making process when it comes to power.

Check it out in the latest Triad:

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.
