US Defense Bill Would Fill Israel’s Weapons ‘Gaps’ Caused by Embargoes The US armed Israel’s genocide. Nations responded by embargoing Israel. Citing those restrictions, the US may now send even more weapons to Israel.

NEW: Buried in the new defense bill is a policy to fill weapon “gaps” Israel gets as other nations embargo it.

As in: citing "wartime" needs, the US armed Israel’s genocide.
Nations responded by restricting weapons to Israel.
Now, citing those very restrictions, the US may send Israel *even more.*

A leaked DOJ memo obtained by @kenklippenstein.bsky.social reveals an effort to build a list of supposedly "anti-American" groups and individuals, an escalation of the administration's crackdown on dissent. The list targets "not just the left" but "anyone who isn't a Trump supporter," he says.

Redistricting bill passes in Indiana House, setting up high-stakes Senate fight Indiana state House Republicans passed a new state congressional map Friday, advancing the legislation to the state Senate.

On a vote of 57 to 41, the Indiana state House today adopted a new congressional map that would likely give all of the state's seats to the GOP, including by cracking Indianapolis into four different districts. The Senate will consider the plan next week:

@npr it’s not a principle. It is a constitutional guarantee.

Kushner’s Moscow mission wasn’t just corrupt. It was unconstitutional. Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, has been traveling the world to participate in high-stakes foreign policy negotiations on behalf of the president.

1. Jared Kushner's trip to Moscow yesterday was not just unethical; it was illegal.

You cannot accept tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments and simultaneously conduct high-level diplomacy for the federal government.

It says it right in the Constitution.

Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara notes the MPD will not work with federal agents & says "In moments like this, I know how real the fear is in our community. People are going to want to speak out, protest, & exercise their 1st Amendment rights. We will absolutely defend people's right to do just that"

The Territory Putin’s Puppet wants Ukraine to surrender

We would never surrender American states to their former owners even if they brutally invaded us—not Texas and California to Mexico, not Florida to Spain, not Louisiana to France, not Alaska to Russia.
Why should Ukraine?

Here is the territory and people Putin’s Puppet wants Ukraine to surrender.

Don't print lies in the newspaper:

America stares down erasure of Black history and progress In the last year, federal, state and institutional decisions have gutted pillars of America's civil rights protections.

Under Trump, 591 books by Black authors have been banned from Pentagon-run schools and libraries, according to Onyx Impact. @delanomassey.bsky.social www.axios.com/2025/11/29/f...

Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

Hegseth's not the only war criminal here. "The [USSOCOM] commander overseeing the operation from Fort Bragg in North Carolina, Adm. Frank M. 'Mitch' Bradley, told people on the secure conference call that the survivors were still legitimate targets... He ordered the second strike."

If Trump proactively pardons Hegseth, the solution is to signal either to the ICC or the country of origin of the murdered men that we will honor extradition requests on this point.

And then, in something of an irony, Noem him out of the country before anyone can react.

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.

Are you still massively against me breaking into your home and stealing all your stuff so I can sell it or have you moved more towards acceptance?

As Matthew Sitman points out — like @zohrankmamdani (and MLK, etc) ‘1984’ author George Orwell was a Democratic Socialist who fought for workers.

He also opposed communism because the two are not the same things and words have meanings.

A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now “What the hell is transgender?” The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with “That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy. ‘Transgender’ putting describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly. You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

This is some scary shit you guys. Two pillars of the community—middle aged white guys no less—arrested because some off duty cop bastard sitting several booths away in a restaurant claims to have heard them “plotting against law enforcement.” We’re in the “ears everywhere, trust no one” stage of it.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
