Brian Schatz v @brianschatz X.com Hey @JGreenblattADL just checking in. © Ryan Goodman @rgoodlaw •4h "The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika... as a hate symbol, according to a new policy that takes effect next month.". 1:14 PM • 11/20/25 • 166K Views

First Democratic member of the Senate to attack Greenblatt in public?

I am so tired of our nation operating from the premise that he's just nuts and it's okay and that we don't have to take him seriously.

WE HAVE TO TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY.

He fomented an armed insurrection against the United States Government 4 years ago to stay in power and wanted to hang the VP.

FFS.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

The "Nazi problem" the current Republican Party has is that a lot of people in it are Nazis. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

I’m howling.

Lawrence Summers to Stop Teaching at Harvard While It Investigates His Epstein Ties

Thank you, student journalists at @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social

its funny to look at things like this and hear senators say theyre "hard at work"

“Ticking Time Bomb”: A Pregnant Mother Kept Getting Sicker. She Died After She Couldn’t Get an Abortion in Texas. Walker is one of several women ProPublica found with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions.

Texas' abortion ban has killed another woman.

Let's be very clear: Republicans are killing women. Democrats need to start calling them murderers loudly and often.

It was Miami Herald local reporter Julie Brown @jkbjournalist.bsky.social who actually covered the Epstein story and blew it wide open. She cared about the victims and Epstein's crimes, not access.
National outlets not only didn't, they refused to. They thought it was tawdry and beneath them.

This perfectly parallels what happened in the German and Italian parliaments after the rise of fascism in those countries. The purpose of this factionalism is to render parliament an object of ridicule and to enhance the stature of the Leader.

This mural has gone up in Kingston, ostensibly for Christmas but AI has ensured it's actually to celebrate the return of our dark lord Cthulhu

'Matt Gaetz Raped A Homeless Teenager' is what you mean.

A teenager with a homeless parent? What? The fuck? Did she have a home and not allow her parent to live in it? Ended up having sex with? What? Yeah clearly you guys been caping for pedos long enough and you understand the assignment here

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.

The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

It is past time to draw negative inferences from the destruction of evidence.

You know a country by its values. By what a country values. And it turns out that what a country values can change over time. Sometimes, though, there’s a sort of cognitive delay between the country you think you are in, and the country you’ve actually become. For example, you can keep selling yourself, to foreigners, as the country of William Shakespeare and Jane Austen, and luring busloads of tourists to Stratford-upon-Avon and Bath, and put a statue of George Orwell in front of the BBC, and imagine yourself a cultured and literate nation, which the rest of the world admires for its devotion to the written word – but if you then chronically underfund your cultural institutions, and treat your cultural workers with contempt, many people will suspect you of being full of it. And as the decades pass – and fewer and fewer Shakespeares and Austens and Orwells emerge from your little island – even more people will begin to suspect that in truth you do not value culture at all, and are in fact running a giant heritage museum in which the only cultural workers you respect are the dead ones.

Great piece by Zadie Smith. When the right talks about classics or "Western" culture, these works are only important to the extent that it demonstrates their superiority, they have no interest in art in and of itself beyond that www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Probably because it's too good

I don't think it's cowardice. I think that they are OK with what the GOP is doing. The sooner folks reconcile with this, the better.

Ok, but let’s just say that TACO actually is a Russian asset (which is likely confirmed by the Epstein files),

isn’t crashing the U.S. economy EXACTLY what he’s supposed to do?

I mean…don’t his actions more clearly demonstrate an intent to harm the United States, than to actually lead it?

Flights are being cancelled. Food assistance is suspended. Government employees are going without pay.

But priorities are being taken care of:

@sarahkendzior.bsky.social has been saying the same since 2017.

There’s nothing more American than your family going from being a target of bigotry to being a purveyor of it within a generation or two.

They're calling him the most French man in history

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Oh hai sounds like the concentration camps are starting to ramp up.

german lift manufacturer uses the theft of the Louvre to promote their furniture lift which was used in the Paris robbery on 19th October 2025

Ouch!

The German maker of the lift used in the Louvre heist is using the robbery in its new advertising:

"When you need to move fast — quiet as a whisper"

The “oh well he was in the military, of course he’s racist” type arguments are getting on my nerves, condescending bullshit from people who have no idea how big and diverse the military is

Dems, I bet of you, STOP VOTING FOR TRUMP JUDGES JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

The best time to abolish ICE would have been in 2021. The next best time is if we win in 2028. At this point, any Democrat unwilling to abolish ICE must be drummed out of the primary.

This makes sense coming from the guy whose son monitors his porn consumption
