"What you're hearing is not what's happening ... Everyone loves me!"

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

The bumper says 'rugged working man'.

But the cargo bed says ‘cosplay builder with soft hands’.

Time to ban these fragile-man-mobiles from our cities.

Does Trump truly care about Nigerian Christians? Of course not – he just knows faith sells | Simon Tisdall In a bid to exercise absolute power, today’s crop of authoritarian leaders is recruiting – and exploiting – believers, says Guardian foreign affairs commentator Simon Tisdall

Opinion | Trump Aid Cuts Kill More Christians Than Jihadists Do Murderous attacks on Christians and Muslims alike are a real problem in Nigeria. Cutting humanitarian assistance there is even more lethal.

“If Trump cares about Christians or anyone else in Nigeria, all he needs to do is restore aid and let babies live,” our columnist Nicholas Kristof writes.

Trump: These people are starting to get on my nerves.
Netanyahu: Mr. President have you tried starving them?

This is because Intuit, Inc. gave Donald Trump $1,000,000 for his "inauguration." Intuit owns Turbo Tax, which makes money off charging taxpayers to file their returns.

The corruption is rampant and in plain sight.

No one could accuse Donald of being woke.

That too

I can hear him saying "I'd hit that"

This morning, I spoke at the SOMOS Labor Breakfast.

"We are not looking to remake New York City in my image. We are looking to remake it in the image of struggling workers across the five boroughs."

Trump Live Updates: Court Denies President’s Bid to Halt SNAP Funding

Breaking News: A federal appeals court denied a last-minute bid by the Trump administration to temporarily halt some food stamp funding.

With U.S. Aid in Limbo, More States Start Paying Full Food Stamp Benefits

BREAKING: A federal appeals court says that, for now, it will NOT halt a court order requiring the Trump admin to fully fund food stamps this month. No administrative stay as it begins to evaluate the case, as states begin paying benefits www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/u...

Another court has ordered the federal government to stop holding food assistance hostage.  
  
There is no excuse for their refusal to feed the American people. 
 
The USDA must release full SNAP benefits so families across the country can put food on the table.

The difference between France in 1793 and the United States in 2025?

Marie Antoinette was *indifferent* to people starving.

But Donald Trump is using every trick at his disposal to *make sure* they do.

The Trump administration has spent the last several days begging court after court not to force them to feed hungry families and children! Who are these people???

Opinion | What Started as Affordability Politics Has Become Something Deeper Zohran Mamdani’s campaign ended up winning over some of the exact voters who make up a major part of the Democratic coalition. Why is worth considering.

In Opinion

“The instinct to treat Zohran Mamdani as a local New York City phenomenon ignores the reality of the American voters behind his historic win,” Mara Gay writes. “Most of the people who voted for Mr. Mamdani for mayor are at the heart of the Democratic Party coalition, not at its fringes.”

Imagine actually believing that too much empathy is a core Western value.

THIS IS AMAZING. ALSO WHAT, IF ANYTHING, DID WE FORGET TO RUIN?

A visual metaphor for the moment.

A tweet from Melanie D’Arrigo (@DarrigoMelanie) reads: “If at least 26 billionaires can waste at least $27 million trying to defeat Zohran Mamdani, then those same billionaires can afford to pay an extra 2% on their income over $1 million to make New York a better, thriving city for everyone — including themselves.” Below is a screenshot of a Forbes article titled “Billionaire Winners And Losers In Tuesday’s Elections,” listing names like Michael Bloomberg, Bill Ackman, Steve Wynn, and others with dollar amounts next to their contributions.

Hear, hear!

A tweet from Micah (@micah_erfan) reads: “62% of US GDP comes from blue counties.” Below is a chart from Brookings Metro showing a red and blue treemap. The left (blue) section represents Democratic counties such as Los Angeles, New York City, Cook County, and Santa Clara, while the right (red) section represents Republican counties with smaller blocks. Underneath, Kevin Smith (@kevin_smith45) comments: “Remember everyone. Republicans vote late because they are the only ones working.”

The red states are the “taker” states.

2/2: I'll riff off your suggestions: uninhabitable planet, don't want them tear gassed while trick or treating, unaffordable housing. I'll add three more: don't want to die from a (treatable) complicated pregnancy, AI engineering folks out of jobs, unaffordable child care. Anyone can play
