You've heard of the Friday night news dump. Here's the Friday night of Thanksgiving wknd dump. For special circumstances, like when the faculty assembly votes 595-4 against paying to end a shakedown and you do it anyway. Link to agreement here: bulkmail.northwestern.edu/trk/click?re...

WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to โ€œshove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.โ€ He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

Authoritarianism Is Here
YouTube video by LegalEagle Authoritarianism Is Here

"Democracies can, and often do, slide... slowly, quietly, and procedurely."

It may not feel slow, because all this happened under the "coke-headish little tyrant in waiting" in under a year.

It was building before, and Trump was a convenient figure head for the movement to rally behind.

How much was trump paid to do this? What obscene sum is he receiving for this appalling pardon?

REPORTERS, YOU NEED TO ASK HOW MUCH TRUMP IS GETTING PAID FOR THIS. AND WHETHER HE CALLS YOU PIGGY OR UGLY OR STUPID, YOU NEED TO KEEP ON ASKING.

Trump has decided to exempt coal used in steelmaking from Clean Air Act rules for the next two years. He issued a proclamation allowing coke oven facilities to sidestep existing limits on toxic emissions including mercury, formaldehyde, soot, and dioxins.

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!' - Emma Lazarus
