Poland Says Rail Explosion Was ‘Unprecedented Act of Sabotage’ Prime Minister Donald Tusk said the goal of the sabotage was to blow up a train and that additional damage had been identified elsewhere on the route.

Another high profile act of sabotage by Russian sabotage in Poland.

Perfect.

Now Charlotte. Neighbors, protect your neighbors!

Retired journalists raise the alarm about state sponsored terror in Chicago "It is without precedent that the biggest names in Chicago journalism have come together to condemn a public action"

I'm so proud of local Chicago journalists & their fearless coverage of the ICE/CBP terror campaign. Now retired broadcast journalists are also playing a role with a powerful new letter to the people of our city. I talked to Phil Ponce, who led this effort.

Bell & James - Livin' It Up (Friday Night)

This Administration is hellbent on ensuring the rich get richer while ripping away the basic dignity of housing from the people who need it most.
 
We know how to end homelessness. Not with handcuffs. Not with funding cuts. But with safe, quality, affordable housing for everyone.

This may be Trump's perfect social media post. A true work of art. He confirms:

✅He personally directs criminal investigations.
✅He is targeting opponents.
✅Epstein "records" exist and he knows the contents.

Bonus points for connecting it to investigation of his fondness for Putin.👀

West Chicago brothers are on the front lines against ‘Operation Midway Blitz.’ And they’re only teenagers. The wave of youth activists who have been galvanized into action by “Operation Midway Blitz” follow a long tradition paved around the world by young activists.

Teen brothers have been on the front lines of Midway Blitz, following the Feds and helping their neighbors. This is their story. “If I get the opportunity to fight like this for the rest of my life, I would be totally OK with that.” By @tesskenny.bsky.social

@bsky.app BRING BACK PATTON OSWALT!! WTF.

Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Secretly Got Money From $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts The company is run by the husband of Noem’s chief DHS spokesperson and has personal and business ties to Noem and her aides. DHS invoked the “emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rule...

“The Department of Homeland Security spent $220M but has kept at least one beneficiary of the nine-figure ad deal a secret, records and interviews show: a Republican consulting firm with long-standing personal and business ties to Kristi Noem and her senior aides at DHS.”

Mafia governance in action

"the only offer on the table was that I needed to resign by 5pm that day or the DOJ would basically rain hell on UVA... If I did not resign that day, I was told that the DOJ would extract/block hundreds of millions of dollars from UVA before they would even negotiate."

Jim Ryan's letter is not just surreal and troubling; it provides a series of deeply sobering lessons—about the perils facing public universities today; about what it means to "work with" this Department of Justice; & about what leadership does (and doesn't) entail at this especially fraught moment.

Kristi Noem sits on a horse wearing a cowboy hat. In the background is Mount Rushmore.

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.

It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

In Male Fantasies (1977), Klaus Theweleit read personal letters of Freikorps members to show how the violence at the core of fascist masculinity escalates as their fear of losing control grows. They get more extreme when confronted with potential “feminized” accountability for violent domination.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

They were on a mission from god.

Wow- third Blues Brother.

U.S. Embassy Valletta, Malta October 14 at 2:50 AM • © Congratulations to Somers Farkas, recently sworn in as U.S. Ambassador to Malta! The Embassy team looks forward to welcoming Ambassador Farkas and her husband Jonathan to Malta. Together with the devoted team, she will lead our diplomatic mission in pursuit of excellence, representing our great President Trump and the great American people. Ambassador Farkas joins us in valuing the enduring partnership between the United States and Malta.

2017: Jonathan Farkas emailing w/ Epstein about "seeing" someone, then mentioning his wife, Somers, who got an appointment from Trump to the White House Fellowship Commission.

Epstein warns Farkas about the other woman.

2025: Somers Farkas was confirmed as U.S. Ambassador to Malta in October.

If they weren't dead inside to begin with, each lie kills a bit more of whatever's left of them.

So much slop.

Uh...

DO IT.

Receipts.

This is the man who was supposed to be a messiah-like figure bringing ‘the storm’ to a pedophile cult in the deep state. He was supposed to be God’s ‘imperfect instrument’ to bring about the millennium. Can the cultists reverse polarity? Or is it easier to live inside the wreckage of that lie?

Epstein Alleged in Emails That Trump Knew of His Conduct

One day the US will have to face the shame and horror of what has happened here: that a cabal of wealthy people have elevated a monster into the most powerful person in the world www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

It is an absolute moral failing that the American public elected this man. How is this man still in the White House?

Explains why Jeffries has gotten bold about calling the Republicans a “pedophile protection program” - House Dems already had the dirt in hand

In a single day, two different federal officers point guns at two different @chicagotribune.com photojournalists in and around Chicago. This is dangerous stuff.
