As I’ve gotten older, I’ve started to realize that we acclimate very quickly to the events which constitute History Unfolding Before Us, so much so that we’re lulled into the useless belief that Nothing Ever Happens.

No! We are in the middle of significant change. Take care to pay attention.

Your Honor... I love them so much.

Trump Has a Secret List of 24 “Designated Terrorist Organizations.” We Got Some of the Names. The U.S. claims it is engaged in “armed conflict” with Tren de Aragua, Ejército de Liberación Nacional, and Cártel de los Soles, among others.

"[T]his is not just a secret war, but a secret unauthorized war. Or, in reality, a make-believe war, because most of these groups we probably couldn’t even be in a war with,” said @bcfinucane.bsky.social about US claims it is in armed conflict with 24 cartel groups

Axios tried to bust James Talarico for following adult content creators on Instagram and I'm genuinely impressed by his campaign's response

Emmett Till’s cousin, Priscilla Williams-Till, has officially announced her campaign for the U.S. Senate in Mississippi. She will run as a Democrat in the 2026 election, challenging the incumbent Republican, Cindy Hyde-Smith.

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

it’s genuinely so beast mode that voters in virginia saw these jay jones texts leak and elected him by 7 point and then flipped the seat of the republican who leaked these texts to a democrat lmfao

but look at yourself... you're the true pikmin...

FUCK ok I lied. ONE more.

Yeah so several major Ukrainian cities are in a complete blackout right now. 0 generation from thermal plants and 0 idea when the power will be back. Just please don’t forget us

I think political commentators who are regularly hugely wrong should be exiled to live in a stone hunt on a rocky rain swept island without wifi

I feel like there is an easy fix to make it clear what it's about, here's a quick and dirty edit:

I think of it as a whole other world. Grief Planet. You can be walking along in what seems to be the real world, but it isn't. It's somewhere else.

The air, the food, the gravity. It's all different.

NYC is home to “384,000 millionaires” while 20% of residents are on #SNAP.

“.. the extent to which some .. have it all while others have absolutely nothing .. without a civil uprising .. is a minor miracle unto itself.”

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.

the funniest part is that in a normal government, this would be a bog standard, easy compromise for republicans, who want the subsidies extended, too, but they're all terrified of the elderly tariff otaku, and johnson and thune are both extremely weak leaders in thrall to their most insane members

johnson is also fucking terrified of what's in these files and is willing to keep the house on permanent vacation to prevent their disclosure, and that's becoming obvious to even the most checked-out median voter

The words "FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE" placed over David Lynch's face (a still from TWIN PEAKS THE RETURN).

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Take this.

lmao.

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.”

The result was “institutionalized hunger.”
