This "WHO'S NEVER COMING BACK" document published by the White House should be "EXHIBIT A" in any forthcoming hearing where a judge/justice has asked the White House to prove how it is "facilitating" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

The Elon Musk playbook:

1) kill govt agencies investigating him

2) remove govt officials who could stop him

3) kill govt contracts belonging to rival companies

4) give all the govt contracts to his own companies

Thousands in Midwestern GOP Districts Attend Sanders' First Stops on Tour to Fight Oligarchy | Common Dreams Senator Bernie Sanders is on a mission to fight oligarchy and empower the people.

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps.

The abrupt firing of ATF Chief Counsel Hicks is chilling. ATF has historically been under-resourced, and we pay the price in our safety. Now, with Hicks removed from the agency charged with overseeing the gun industry, we are all at greater risk of gun violence.

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?

From Kate Conger’s book “Character Limit” on how Musk ruined Twitter.

Sen Cassidy: “Black lives matter only if you count them”

Oh look. A President, a Governor, a Mayor - all at the crash site at the Chesapeake Bay with first responders. Not swimming. Showing empathy and leadership.

Saving this for every time someone posts about “TDS”. Ugh. They don’t realize they are the ones with derangement…

There it is.

Trump’s Treasury nominee just said “extending” Trump’s tax handouts for billionaires is their TOP priority: “This is the single most important economic issue of the day.”

Ever since the disastrous Citizens United ruling, outside spending on federal elections has skyrocketed.

Big money corrupts our politics and erodes our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to those at the top.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social on Mike Johnson considering conditioning disaster aid: "Never in California did we question whether or not we, as taxpayers in the largest state in the Union, should support the people of Louisiana at a time of emergency and need. We’d never condition it."

Behind the scenes, the company was also quietly dismantling a system to prevent the spread of misinformation. When the company announced on Jan. 7 that it would end its fact-checking partnerships, the company also instructed teams responsible for ranking content in the company’s apps to stop penalizing misinformation, according to sources and an internal document obtained by Platformer. The result is that the sort of viral hoaxes that ran roughshod over the platform during the 2016 US presidential election — “Pope Francis endorses Trump,” Pizzagate, and all the rest — are now just as eligible for free amplification on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads as true stories.

NEW: Meta has quietly dismantled the system that prevented misinformation from spreading in the United States. Machine-learning classifiers that once identified viral hoaxes and limited their reach have now been switched off, Platformer has learned www.platformer.news/meta-ends-mi...

Hey everyone! The discussion I had with Officers Fanone and Dunn about their thoughts and feelings on the fourth anniversary of Jan 6 attack was so important, that I lifted the paywall. Please take a look, it’s very powerful

Temple Did It and I Can, Too!
A children’s book about Dr Temple Grandin, a brilliant woman with autism, and how she accomplished so much after being non verbal for much of her childhood.
Very proud of this one!

Flashback to 2020:

CA official: "If we ignore the science and put our head in the sand... we're not going to succeed together protecting Californians."

Trump: "It'll start getting cooler. You just watch."

"I wish science agreed with you."

Trump: "I don’t think science knows, actually."

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.

Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.

While Trump threatens to invade Canada and his MAGA movement bullies and harasses Canadians and other US allies, Canadians are busy saving USians from burning alive.

Canadian air crews in Los Angeles risked their lives to save US civilians. #palisadesfire

Well done RollingStone for reporting it accurately.

I’m a gun owner, and I respect the rights of responsible gun owners. That said, the second amendment will continue to be watered with the blood of children until the laws change.

Supreme Court 18-year term limit bill should be just the beginning:

— 13 justices
— 7 clerks per justice
— single 18-year term
— binding code of ethics with punishments all the way up to impeachment
— full investigation of corrupt gifts to Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, et al.

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane.

We have turned them into Sub Prime Lenders 🧵

"Dancing With The Stars" puts more serious thought into picking a cast than Donald Trump.

Some of you are clearly slacking off, go help your family or friends setup for today’s feast. Belated but not forgotten happy thanksgiving minus the genocide and colonialism part. Don’t disregard the communal aspect of tradition and provide anima where needed.
