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?

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.

I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

My Transition Co-chair Lina Khan and First Deputy Mayor Dean Fuleihan joined Starbucks workers on the picket line today because making NYC affordable means an end to unfair labor practices and a living wage for our workers. We are their partners in the fight to live in this city with dignity.

Ukraine is rejecting Trump’s plan right now at the UN Security Council.

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

In honor of Larry Summers, I asked the female members of my college class (1987) to say if they had any experiences with sexual harassment by teachers/professors, back when this was tolerated as, I dunno, the cost of attending college, and OH MY GOD.

Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe.

Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

I've been told not to tell you, but I haven't been told not to tell you that I've been told not to tell you, so I'm going to tell you that.

at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.

he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.

situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

Remarkable. Seems pretty clear that someone wanted to make an example of him.

If the NYT told the story of the homeless teenager exploited by Matt Gaetz with even half as much empathy as it tells the story of Olivia Nuzzi, it would be in danger of committing journalism.

Yes, there was a time when the consensus opinion was that strangers should be able to find your phone number and address, and you had to pay extra to have an "unlisted" number.

I hope the dead kids haunt her house

A graphic from the front page of the WSJ, titled, "The Epstein Email Cache: 2,300 Messages, Many of Which Mention Trump." Using blue does it compares how many of the email threads released by Oversight are about various people. 1,670 are about Trump. 207 mention Michael Wolff. 155 Kathryn Ruemmler, 117 Larry Summers, and 512 Clinton.

Wild graphic on front page of WSJ.

GOP Rep. Kevin Kiley, who did not support the Epstein discharge petition, says he will vote yes next week on releasing the Epstein files

this is a major blow from trump

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

I've been really frustrated with the solipsism of Jewish institutions that try to stoke panic over Mamdani while remaining largely silent on the actual fascist threat in the US. IMO a much better use of their religious authority would be joining clerics from other faiths at anti-ICE protests.

Honestly love to see it and want to see it 49 more times

This is the 21st time I’ve posted this Doonesbury so far.

horrifying

Hoffman responds.

Pam Bondi will not have a license to practice law when this is all over. You can’t stay a bar member and agree to investigate only members of one political party for child sexual abuse but not members of the other. And, you can’t do it after previously saying no one else could be charged.

Hello Mr. Insurance Company I would like to purchase a comprehensive health insurance plan for 1 dollar. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Way to put out that fire, sir.

Although many people are saying it, I do not believe our current president sucked off former president Bill Clinton on camera. I have not seen sufficient evidence that our current president gave the former president a blowie in a way that was memorialized in a photo. That's not something I believe.

It is 1998. I am at the kitchen table writing Batman fanfic but I keep getting distracted by breaking news about a Bill Clinton sex scandal

It is 2025. I am at the kitchen table writing a canonical Bat-book but I keep getting distracted by breaking news about a Bill Clinton sex scandal

Incredibly smart PR tactic from ICE to continue assaulting very handsome priests
