Joyce Carol Oates @Joyce... 17h O So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

Elon Musk ' @elonmusk X.com Oates is a liar and delights in being mean. Not a good human.

lol she got his ass and he knows it

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

CALL.

YOUR.

SENATORS.

Senate Democrats voting to dismantle the ACA to avoid any problems with their Thanksgiving travel is tragically on brand.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike.

Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%.

Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

One worry I have about Democrats right now is that they do not want to confront how much of the country disagrees with them.

First, Trump did moderate the Republican Party in crucial areas: Medicare, Social Security and trade.

There's also a weird conventional wisdom forming that the Democratic agenda is toxically unpopular and that Republicans are delivering what voters want.

This is laughably false. Trump is the most unpopular president in modern history and his entire agenda is underwater.

Ezra Klein This Is the Way You Beat Trump — and Trumpism

I saw a poll a few weeks ago that struck me. It was from The New York Times and Siena University. It asked Americans what they thought the top problem facing the country was. No. 1 was the economy. That was what I expected. But No. 2 wasn’t immigration or inflation or democracy or climate change or even Trump. It was political division. In that same poll, 64 percent of the country said we’re too divided to solve our problems. They’re not wrong.

I hear it when Trump says, “I hate my opponent and I don’t want the best for them.” When I hear that, I hear something scary, but I also hear an opening, an opportunity: In the end, most Americans want America to work. They know we disagree with one another. They don’t want us to hate one another.

I will never understand the pundit obsession with getting Democrats to solve "political division."

Not only is this what they're already doing, but Klein admits that Republicans will never do the same. So elections will remain constant GOP smears and simping Democratic promises of bipartisanship.

Tough day.

Trump pushes an end to medical care for transgender youth nationally The White House plans to bar hospitals that treat transgender children and youth from getting any Medicare and Medicaid payments. The move would affect trans youth who have private insurance, too.

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

Reminder that they're paying Campbell properly only after the studio disgustingly fired Melissa Barrera over her statements against genocide, which then led to Jenna Ortega quitting the franchise, so they were out their two leads.

Nancy Mace is both deranged and a fundamentally bad person. I will never forget how she got a trans man arrested for shaking her hand and traipsed around the Capitol in an arm brace.

Nancy Mace is one of those people who is deeply miserable yet not as miserable as she deserves.

Single, extra dark says the readout. Ok

Cashless failure Damn

SNAP funding runs out at the end of this month and food banks will need extra support.

If you can donate, please do so.

Consider donating some respirators too! Long lines in crowded place can lead to Covid spread. Let’s keep people fed & healthy!

Between this and Sabrina doing a similar thing it is VERY CLEAR which pop stars are aware of The Moment right now and are rising to the occasion and which ones don't give a shit

This took its early steps as Cheap Thrills, the first webcomic I ever paid any attention to (almost 20 years ago), and is one of very few I ever consistently followed. It's been a delight seeing SE Case develop.

Oh, and this comic fuckin rules - it's pinned to my taskbar.

reposting bcus my family still needs help; our snap funds won’t be coming for the foreseeable future and they were essential for survival. seeking aid so we don’t go hungry in the coming months. Taking on and completing as much work as I can, it’s not enough. #mutualaid ko-fi.com/ponycide

TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME: The official Massachusetts SNAP website now warns that Trump is “choosing not to issue November SNAP benefits that help you and many families put food on the table.” It also warns of cuts due to “Congressional Republicans and President Trump” in the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness.

Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.
