🌌💜 “Last night, the sky over Alaska turned into a cosmic vortex…” A massive swirl of purple and pink auroras lit up the frozen landscape — a formation so rare that even long-time skywatchers said they’d never seen anything like it. The entire horizon glowed as the lights spiraled into a perfect celestial whirl. ❄️✨ Captured by a local photographer during an intense geomagnetic storm.

Women at the Otay Mesa ICE Detention Facility in San Diego, California, were heard yelling in pain after assisting activists in identifying individuals who had been abducted and transferred to the facility on November 30, 2025.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

18.3.2 Refuse to Comply With Clearly Illegal Orders to Commit Law of War Violations. Members of the armed forces must refuse to comply with clearly illegal orders to commit law of war violations. In addition, orders should not be construed to authorize implicitly violations of law of war. 18.3.2.1 Clearly Illegal Orders to Commit Law of War Violations. The requirement to refuse to comply with orders to commit law of war violations applies to orders to perform conduct that is clearly illegal or orders that the subordinate knows, in fact, are illegal. For example, orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal.

⚖️ DoD Law of War Manual, page 1075:

"For example, orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal."

Yes!! Another quintessential American thing they've taken from us.

follow the money and see where it goes...

morons. they're in the enviable position of knowing EXACTLY what their customers liked about them, but they'll spend all their money fixing everything but the actual problem. rest in peace, retail sell-outs. no pun intended.

impeachment, removal, trial, prison.
repeat as needed to restore America to its people.

isn't this where a well-regulated militia comes in??

Judge issues major victory for due process in class action lawsuit, rules that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) can no longer detain immigrants without offering them a bond hearing. Everyone gets a bond hearing now.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

oh, and my family used to cook turkeys in an outdoor smoker in the summer because it was delicious, cheap, and served a lot of people.

he complains for a minute and a half about turkey then turns to the subject of gratitude, where it cuts off...

i can't even imagine what he's grateful for; i'm sure it's something cringey, gross, hypocritical, or all three.
