It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

Student describes β€˜horror show’ ICE deportation to Honduras at Thanksgiving Any Lucia LΓ³pez Belloza, 19, was detained at Boston airport while on the way to see family in Austin for a surprise trip

Any Lucia Lopez Belloza.
Learn her name.
This young woman who escaped a Honduran city overrun by gang violence at age 7, a productive member of our society with a bright future ahead, is who Trump is wasting our tax $ to deport.
Cruel. And also stupid.

So here is a clue. #reMERZ is an online/offline project. During December I'll perform reMERZ poems live - in Twitter Spaces (audio only), Youtube Live, Instagram Live, TikTok live and probably some 3D chatrooms. Unscheduled. Sudden. Hic&Hoc. Pay attention to this monitor image.

I have one piece of advice for American men: be the guy at the party who makes everyone a perfect grilled cheese at 3 in the morning and you’ll never sleep alone. Also what is going on with this embassy thirst trap

Tom Stoppard was an inexhaustible fountain of ideas Britain’s most challenging playwright died on November 29th, aged 88

Tom Stoppard won an Oscar for his screenplay for β€œShakespeare in Love”, and later got a knighthood; but neither helped with his main preoccupation, writing the next play

Fascinating obit for a centenarian Penobscot hero of WWII. He was not allowed to vote in his state of Maine when he came home from the war. RIP to a remarkable American

Libraries and museums get federal funding back after Trump cuts Earlier this year, the Trump administration gutted the Institute of Museum and Library Services, leading to canceled federal grants. Now, after a court order, those grants are being reinstated.

This is in the weeds, but please be reminded that this gross usurpation of the Institute of Peace was made possible by a Supreme Court order from the shadow docket in an unrelated case, which then three Trump judges on the D.C. Circuit ran with to allow this usurpation to proceed.

A US citizen woman screams: "I'm a US citizen. Please help me. Why are you doing this?" Population Control Police manhandled her, brought her to the ground, handcuffed, loaded her into a vehicle. Later released her. Kavanaugh stop or something worse? -12/3/25

DOGE Isn’t Dead. Here’s What Its Operatives Are Doing Now Contrary to popular reports, DOGE has β€œburrowed into the agencies like ticks,” government sources tell WIRED.

While several media reports have suggested that DOGE has all but fizzled out, it’s far from dead. DOGE affiliates are scattered across the federal government. Meanwhile, the DOGE ethos remains fully in force.

i'm actually struck by how pete hegseth isn't just a cowardly man but a capital-c Coward. a guy who gets off on abusing and hurting people he thinks are weaker than him and then tries to run and hide when there might be consequences

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Aside from the extremely dubious question of whether the occupants of the Venezuelan boat even qualified as β€œcombatants,” ordering a second strike from an aircraft for the sole purpose of killing defenseless people was absolutely an illegal order.

I feel like one of the most underrated explanations for what's happening right now in global politics is that almost everyone has lost their minds.
