She would really hate that my first presidential vote was absentee from college, voting in my hometown 1500 miles away.

No dinner with MAGA family for us! We don't travel for Thanksgiving to begin with, my siblings agree with us anyway, and we wouldn't try a holiday with my MAGA cousins!

“Hegseth and Trump have gone after the wrong guy with Mark Kelly--Arizona Senator, decorated Navy veteran, astronaut-- and they are only further demonstrating their hostility to our Constitution and their weak leadership.“ www.americaamerica.news/p/trump-and-...

Shut. It. Down.

Another wave of mega-fundraising shows how the Trump administration is selling proximity to the president for cash. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/us/politics/trump-super-pac-fundraisers.html

He's just envious because Prtizker is a) popular and b) a longtime, *real* billionaire who remains c) popular because he stands up for people!

NEW: DOJ posted the exhibits involved in the Chicago protesters/press case, including Gregory Bovino's deposition.

He is a real charmer (before they even got to the substance of the case)!

We live in WNC so I know the truth of this article. We lucked out and had very little damage, but major damage remains all around us. Biden had FEMA here and working hard, Trump has abandoned us. carolinaforward.org/blog/local-h...

Here's what happened this week in North Carolina politics.

The invasion, its aftermath, and what we do next. 💪

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.

The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.

Where is the MAHA outcry?

Kent State was horrible, but that was not a case of the culprits claiming they were just following orders, as My Lai was (and as was heard at the Nuremberg Trials).

AI Meets Aggressive Accounting at Meta’s Gigantic New Data Center Favorable treatment off the balance sheet hinges on some convenient assumptions.

“Artificial intelligence, meet artificial accounting.” The guy who first pointed out Enron’s sketchy accounting is now scrutinizing AI accounting and it’s the same nonsense: www.wsj.com/tech/meta-ai...

Surprise, surprise

Billionaires are buying elections to put people in power-Republicans-who will give them more tax breaks

Even if it comes at the expense of the poorest people in the country

Apparently, even though they have generational wealth for the next 1,000 years, there is never enough

Trump Has a Recipe for War and Corruption, Not Peace Who would benefit from the White House’s 28-point proposal for Ukraine?

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

I couldn't agree more! (Also, more people would get to know him ahead of the day he and Chasten decide the kids are old enough for Pete to make another run at president.)

Yup. Those of us who lived through Vietnam remember My Lai and Lt Calley.

So he's hired an 85 year old to repair golf courses but Biden was an old man?

Congress wrote into the law that someone who overstays a visa while applying for asylum is not considered to be accruing “unlawful presence,” but it didn’t explicitly say those people couldn’t be arrested and detained — because it was presumed that they wouldn’t be. Well, Trump is doing it.

ICE is on the ground in New Orleans. Proud of my city for standing up for the constitution, due process and human rights.
We have a large Latino population. Tonight, the streets here are EMPTY. People are afraid. #StopICE

My experience with firearms is limited to shooting a boyfriend's rifle 40 years ago and *I*know not to hold his weapon like that! And I love how he suddenly realized his face was uncovered so pulled up his gaiter. They may come to my area soon so we are preparing.

Oh, thank you! I needed that after the day I had.

This! I have been saying I don't buy any of it until she personally apologizes to people, as you do in 12 step programs.

That's why Musk hired really young guys to do DOGE dirty work. They hadn't yet learned to question legalities. Maybe this will teach some of them.

And what is considered Communism today is not Communism as Marx envisioned it. The Bolsheviks totally corrupted Marxism. Sorry, I minored in History and my husband has a Masters in it. We pay attention to such stuff.

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism - there is extensive research showing this. Resurrecting old, discredited, fraudulent work is shameful.

Vaccine-preventable illnesses are serious - this is going to cause real harms.

This is dangerous & disappointing.
