Discussing Thanksgiving via text, I accidentally created a typo that looks like "Thwack-Dicking."

Given the complexity of the holiday season for many of us, perhaps "Thwack-Dicking" is an accurate representation of what is happening right now.

I am totally fine with names of powerful Democrats in the Epstein files being named and shamed too. FULL accountability! I’m not here to stick up for any pedophile.

When a government starts targeting former intelligence officials, law enforcement leaders, and anyone who once investigated or criticized those in power, it’s not just a red flag, it’s a page straight from the authoritarian playbook.

News 9 radar damaged in apparent attack by anti-government militia group Oklahoma City television station News 9 is reporting an anti-government militia group targeted its weather radar system.

An Oklahoma City TV station says it's weather radar was damaged by an individual and that an anti-government militia took responsibility, claiming that radar is used to control the weather. (via @kosuradio.bsky.social)

Black Women’s Equal Pay Day: The Check Is Long Overdue [Op-Ed] Black Women’s Equal Pay Day is not just a date on the calendar — it’s a receipt marked by exhaustion, resilience, and being underpaid.

This is where we are headed. If you don’t believe me, ask what basis the government had to send me and my family to a prison camp in Arkansas. We “looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.”

Bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia Home Kilmar is not alone. He is one of over 250 immigrants deported without due process, as part of Trump’s $6 million deal with Bukele’s government—a plan to funnel immigrants, often with no criminal reco...

Sunrise on the Reaping!

A tweet by Aaron Reichlin-Melnick (@R ...) states that the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that Judge Xini's order to "facilitate" Abrego Garcia's release from custody in El Salvador was upheld 3-0 by the 4th Circuit. The Trump administration now refuses to comply. The tweet includes a detailed excerpt from a court ruling, stating the order is vacated by the Chief Justice due to the administration's delay and the need for clarification on "facilitate," as Garcia was not properly sent to El Salvador.

Bring. Him. Home.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

I'll say it again: in a country where due process is individually denied and then broadly eroded and eventually eliminated, being a citizen will not protect you from the terror of this administration.

Many things he does are illegal. Think about that.

The idolatry is ridiculous. We shalt not pledge our loyalty to a single human being. How about we treat all humans with dignity?

Supreme Court says Trump officials should help return wrongly deported Maryland man The Supreme Court ordered the administration to "facilitate" the return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly taken to El Salvador and remains in custody there.

Donald Trump firing them sends a clear message about who is welcome in his military.
 
We’re not going to help ram his replacement through.

Privileged people don’t understand what it’s like for others who are less privileged, and it’s so frustrating.

And they’re ignoring the fact The Heritage Foundation found 77 non-citizens who voted between 1999-2023.

They want to disenfranchise millions of citizens because of 77 people over 24 yrs.

You know, this is really true.

Protesting can be fun and joyous.

You can express your objections in a celebratory way that rejects the anger and hate.

They hate that.

Hamas has shown pure evil again and again. Many innocent lives have been lost. This is tragic.

Truly bizarre times we live in. After all, these "believers" say they've read the Bible, and yet...

(Thank goodness there are some sane people who have responded to this foolishness!)

... and then call yourself "Christian"

Absolutely sickening. We are seeing pure evil in Trump, Musk, and the Republicans who are enthusiastically allowing their golden calf to do whatever he wants.

A memo from a top official at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point ordered several cadet clubs focused on diversity to be disbanded. Memo pictured here:

'Competent White Men Must Be in Charge,' High-Profile State Dept. Appointee Wrote Last Year Darren Beattie, a former White House staffer with extremist connections, has been tapped to serve a key State Department role.

Ridiculous! Countries run by women and which include non-whites in prominent positions are far “greater” than the United States.

The U.S.A. could be “great” if it respected the talents of all humans and provided living conditions for its citizens to thrive.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
