I've been saying for the better part of a year that Trump is on a mission to decriminalize corruption. To make it the legal equivalent of jaywalking.

I feel that more strongly now than I ever had.

Anti-fascist posters appear in London

There is a real Gresham’s law risk (bad money starts driving out good money) with institutionally supported crypto if countries want to monitor illicit cross-border transactions or even try to impose capital controls. The window to act to preserve the state’s capacity here is relatively limited.

Trump Wants Asia’s ‘Cute’ Kei Cars to be Made and Sold in US President Donald Trump, apparently enamored by the pint-sized Kei cars he saw during his recent trip to Japan, has paved the way for them to be made and sold in the US, despite concerns that they’re too small and slow to be driven safely on American roads.

I love how Bovino has handpicked the thugs around him to be shorter than he is.

A real alpha would embrace being a short king.

Mad Max, Shaun of the Dead, and the Sofia Coppola one with Bill Murray I can’t remember the name since I can’t see the list while replying.

This is what happened to Russia.

While coming out of communism, the oligarchs grabbed everything they could. Same thing is happening here with billionaires.

Your thumbs to gods' feed.

Hopefully we can use the window.

I threw up in my mouth a little bit.

(I am happy this finally got one like)

Ruzzia is podunk because Putin & his oligarchs have stolen billions from the country. The graft and corruption is incomprehensible. Ruzzians know no other way of life.

Beware fellow Americans, many of our billionaires are consolidating our assets & aspire to to have the same control over US.

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries: “Strong floor, no ceiling”

Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy.”

The modern military with professional soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and spacemen has firepower, coordination and communications ability, and just the capability to turn anything into rubble and corpses. Civilians get that.

Rubble and corpses don’t win wars, that requires a political end.

This alone should have been disqualifying during Hesgeth’s confirmation hearings.

This company charges disabled vets millions, even after VA said it's likely illegal — NPR A Florida-based company is charging military veterans as much as $20,000 for help with disability claims, even though the VA has said that may be illegal and the service should be free. But so far nob...

Grifters gonna take advantage of vets and pocket their VA benefits, and neither the GOP governor of Florida nor the GOP POTUS gonna lift a finger

I get that people want to emphasize the monstrousness of Trump and his lackeys by finding and highlighting their most “innocent” possible victims but by placing that emphasis you are missing the point - the state does not get to summarily execute people it accused committing a crime without a trial

Monsters who do not think anyone should exist without kissing the ring of a billionaire.

Does this apply to Christian immigrants?

Jacob Frey: "We are here to respond to credible reports relaying that there are as many as 100 federal agents that will be deployed to the Twin Cities with a specific focus on targeting our Somali community. To our Somali community -- we love you and we stand with you. That commitment is rock solid"

Rogers Park's New 400 Theaters Is Reopening As New Operator Revives 113-Year-Old Movie House The operator of three historical movie theaters in Michigan has leased the shuttered Rogers Park theater, which was the city's oldest continually running movie theater when it closed in 2023.

Loved this little movie theater in my old neighborhood in Chicago and this is such great news: blockclubchicago.org/2025/12/01/r... - I saw soooo many movies here.

Added it to my podcatcher! Thanks.

Today in history, 1955: Rosa Parks is arrested for refusing to give up her seat on a city bus to a white man in violation of the racial segregation laws of Montgomery, Ala. Her arrest spurred the 381-day Montgomery Bus Boycott and became a catalyst for the civil rights movement. /1

Stories behind the music are outstanding.

Huh.

Are we leaving Taiwan’s claim to the Diaoyutai Islands out of the conversation?

Whomp whomp.

Shareholders should call for new leadership.

All he has to do in Florida is trot out accusations of socialism; the ones who made it over the line will still vote red.

Statehood for D.C. is an ethical obligation at this point, required to protect the rights of our residents to govern ourselves against such out-of-state troops being sent to patrol our city.

The beating heart and soul of these United States.
