EFF the Klannish Heritage Foundation.

They live by the tenet that white men can only compete if the recorded accomplishments of others are co-opted, smeared, or eliminated.

The Christian leader on the right had sex with the pool boy while Christian leader on the left sat in a chair and taped the event. I guess it’s what held their marriage together 🤷‍♀️

Further, Jerry Falwell Jr.’s wife enjoyed seducing her son’s college friends at Liberty University.

Frog deserves to win a Nobel Peace Prize. He set the stage for peaceful resistance in the face of fascism and gave us hope and a way forward.

Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

SNAP funds will be paid in full, proving that the USDA was always capable of paying the full November benefit.

Remember that the Trump admin chose to let people go hungry.

They chose not to fund SNAP until a court forced their hand.

They chose cruelty and pain.

Boycott Home Depot

Home Depot

I am tired of seeing @homedepotofficial.bsky.social be a place of large immigration raids. Until Home Depot breaks their silence I will no longer be giving them my business. Join me in demanding they end their silence! #BoycottHomeDepot homedeportation.com/s/IHA4mvBW

Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’ Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given

💯 Greedy, entitled, self serving people have no place in politics because they don't care about serving in the interests of ALL of the people.

Years of austerity. Lack of investment. Privatisation of public services. Normalising ways to deprive people.

This is the way! Thank you for raising kids who will stand for what is right 😊

I want my kids to see that our family stands for community. When they grow up, I want them to be proud that we walked a scared classmate and her family to the bus stop after school; proud that we packed whistle kits; that we fight to be better and build a better world.

Be a neighbor, not a jagoff

I have recommended *The Family* to so many people. You have done a great service in educating Americans about the Mike Johnson strain of Christianity. People who grew up outside of it need to understand how deep it runs in MAGA.

I know you have done far more than this. Keep up the good work ✊

Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

Heartbreaking. I’ve asked subscribers to send me screenshots of their premium increases, and I can’t even tell you how many emails I’m getting like this.

Folks can’t pay these rates. This family is in TX, but it’s happening everywhere. Congress MUST extend the ACA tax credits.

I've got nothing witty or insightful, just this -- fuck Musk. Just, fuck that guy. Wotta asshole. Saying it while we can. Everybody on earth would have to say it 125 times to equal his salary. I dunno, maybe worth a shot.

Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.”

A 16yo American living in fear of the Trump regime’s ICE goons terrorizing brown people pleads for help.

This person is calling southern churches to ask if they can give her a can of formula for her 2-month old since they ran out the previous day

Most say no

There are some -Black church, a catholic one, & a mosque who do help.

And one lady’s church wouldn’t but she said just come get $10 😭

It's a sad day when a conservative Republican--I've met Adam, he really is--can see a dangerous fascist like MTG more clearly than some who consider themselves left or liberal.

It certainly shows a terrible lack of self awareness and an inability to examine oneself. They are people living in a self-made cocoon, both rich and poor, definitely poor in spirit and living without the richness of what life can be.

If SCOTUS rules against tariffs, there will be refunds the consumer will never see, and higher prices which will never come down.

They have convinced themselves that their beliefs are based in reality and not the color of one’s skin. The media perpetuates this: When a white person commits a crime it’s because of trauma or illness, but when others commit a crime it’s due to being brown or black and reflects on all of them.

Interesting… He identifies as a Hinjew, merging two faiths, Hinduism and Judaism. For a religious Jew, nothing could be further from “Thou shalt not have other gods before you,” than Hinduism. He’s free to do what he wants, but I’m tired of these tech guys imposing on the rest of us.

Which part of the federal govt are they though
1. Unmarked cars so could be personal vehicles
2. Nothing identifying then as fed agents so again could be racist private citizens mascarading as feds literally kidnapping anyone
3. Don’t know the what laws they are upholding …

🧵1/2 summary from REDDIT post

“ICE agents surrounded my car at the US postal office in Wheeling on 11/3/2025 and tried to intimidate me with arrest for “stalking” them. It is not illegal to record ICE agents at a reasonable distance and at no point did I interfere with their “investigation”… ⤵️⤵️⤵️
