I have been saying for a very long time to anyone who would listen that the Midwest is on a faster track to turn blue than Texas. It’s been clear the tide was turning there for a few years now.

This is identical to Russia invading Ukraine. Illegally invading a country for their resources and likely killing thousands—if not more—is immoral and should not be supported by anyone with any shred of moral conscience.

The president can be found guilty of sexual assault but it dishonors the country if you wear pajamas on an airplane says the regime.

Rep Maria Salazar (R-FL) says Trump is about to invade Venezuela, and the objective is to seize their oil. Remarkable candor, because this seems to be precisely what is going on. bsky.app/profile/atru...

ICE video shows officers planned to ‘smash’ into Charlotte man filming Border Patrol Immigration agents had a 12-pack of Modelos in their car while making arrests, Miguel Angel Garcia Martinez told investigators.

"“This is great,” an officer said as they started following Martinez. “This is fun,” another replied.

Calling them the “Seditious Six” & branding their statements “despicable” before review is textbook definition of prejudgment. No panel, judge, or reviewing authority can claim neutrality once the SECDEF declares the accused guilty. This looks like the procedures used in dictatorships, not the US.

Dismissal without prejudice means it MAY be possible to refile the indictments against James Comey and Letitia James-even though the statue for Comey has run

But this is an awful defeat for Pam Bondi's DOJ

And if the cases are revived defendants can still seek dismissal for malicious prosecution

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Genius

The numbers are not numbers. It’s all just feelings now.

Trump had found an issue more unpopular than his handling of inflation - attacking Venezuela:

A Twitter account called Ivanka News tweets an AI image of a young woman wearing Muslim garb. The woman is holding a sign that says "I came here illegally. Should I be deported?" Ivanka News writes: What is your response to this person ?? In the "About this account" tab, it appears the account is based in Nigeria

An account called MAGA scope writes: Who, in your view is the great enemy of the United States? Communism, Islam, Democratic Party, or Satan? The account is based in Nigeria.

An account called MAGA Nadine writes: You go to work and find this. What would you do? The attached pic is an AI image that shows a microwave. The microwave has a sign that says "For religious reasons, this microwave is now making halal food only." The account is based in Morocco.

An account called America First posts an AI image of Tulsi Gabbard. They wrote: How would you rate your trust in Tulsi Gabbard on a scale of 1-10?

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

“Prohibited words and concepts: Equity, diversity, & inclusion; anti-racism; Bias; Critical race theory; implicit bias; oppression; intersectionality; prohibited discriminatory practices; racial privilege; promoting stereotypes based on personal identity characteristics.”

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Oh I’m so shocked said absolutely no one.

I am both a patriotic American and a strident Atlanticist and it is for both those reasons that I firmly believe Europe should ice us out of NATO until we have our head back on our shoulders

There is nothing to gain and everything to lose by showing up for handshake photo-ops with our mad king

Oh yikes.

Trump Calls for Democrats to Be Put to Death for Accurately Describing Troops’ Constitutional Duties Trump accused half a dozen Democratic lawmakers of sedition "punishable by DEATH" for calling on military members to uphold the Constitution.

President Trump suggested that six Democrats should be arrested, tried and put to death for accurately describing the duty of U.S. military service members to uphold the Constitution and resist unlawful orders.

Ellis repeatedly accuses multiple CBP and ICE officials of lying (under oath) and says their "widespread misrepresentations call into question everything" they "say they are doing in their characterization of what is happening." She broadly discredits their testimony as objectively false.

TEN MONTHS IN:

The national debt is higher.

The trade deficit is wider.

The inflation rate has worsened.

The unemployment rate is up.

Identified: federal agents who pointed gun, punched detainee in Evanston Unraveled has verified a hate speech-laden X account belonging to U.S. Border Patrol agent Timothy Donahue, who was seen in numerous viral videos during Operation Midway Blitz. He and another agent, T...

NEW: Evanston has released video + reports surrounding a 10/31 incident where a CBP agent threatened to shoot people + another beat a handcuffed man.

We found some disturbing X posts from one of the feds, also seen in other viral videos. His name is Timothy Donahue, and it's now public record:

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution.

In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

Leavitt: Why aren't you talking about what these members of congress are doing to encourage violence…. They're literally saying to 1.3 million active duty service members not to follow lawful orders

Reporter: Actually they said illegal orders.

Suddenly Republicans care when this shit happens in red states because of course.

When Trump was backed into a corner and facing loss of power and consequences for his actions during his first term, he leaned into inciting violence and talking about hanging people.

I see he’s at it again and likely for the exact same reasons.

Senator Murphy sounds the alarm as Trump calls for the deaths of Dems who served the country to be killed for reminding the military their loyalty is to the constitution not to him 🇺🇸

This is the video that enraged Trump so much that he called for these Democratic lawmakers to be hanged.

They served our country, and now the President wants them dead because they said something he didn't like. We cannot become numb to these disgusting calls for political violence.

The Washington Post EXCLUSIVE 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." November 20, 2025 at 1:22 p.m. EST

This is the bad place.
