(above images of the Target, Amazon, and Home Depot logos that have been crossed out) We Ain't Buying It Target Companies This action is taking direct aim at Target, for caving to this administration's biased attacks on DEl; Home Depot, for allowing and colluding with ICE to kidnap our neighbors on their properties; and Amazon, for funding this administration to secure their own corporate tax cuts.

Between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday, join us in hitting pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com?utm_source=i...

"Things happen" sometimes, like when you walk into an embassy to apply for your marriage license while your bride-to-be waits outside, but then you get bonesawed to pieces for having exercised freedom of speech as an US-based journalist and have to be carried out in a series of suitcases.

‘Do we live in a war zone?’: how US schools prepare for a shooting In the troubling HBO documentary Thoughts and Prayers, the $3bn active shooter preparedness industry shows the bleak reality of being a child in the US

My son's school got swotted which means he spent an uncertain half hour completely silent crammed w/ other kids into a windowless hallway bc the nearby classrooms had too many windows

Thanks Supreme Court for making this our children's reality!
It is definitely what the Founders would have wanted!!

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Oh they don’t like the whistles? Hey everyone, they don’t like the whistles. If you use them it makes the armed goons sad.

Another high point in the history of U.S. diplomacy.

Either Ron Johnson owns a tanning salon or he got that red face at his home in Florida.
How he claims to represent Wisconsin is beyond me.

Ron Johnson tried to hand fake elector info to Mike Pence on Jan. 6, panel reveals A top aide said the Wisconsin Republican senator wanted to give Pence the list of pro-Trump electors as he prepared to certify the 2020 election.

This was you on Jan 6th, eh Ron? YOU were running interference in our election. HOW DARE YOU.
TRAITOR. LIAR. THIEF.

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SAYS IT TAKING STEPS TO DISMANTLE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

R’s want increased immigration punishment for animal cruelty.

But their bill excludes the animal cruelty of the Trump official responsible for overseeing the immigration system — Sec. Noem — who killed her own puppy.

My amendment changes the bill’s name to the Kristi Noem Canine Protection Act.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

Republicans have a bill to deport immigrants who attack dogs. Goldman moves to have it renamed to: The Kristi Noem Canine Relief Act

Fact check: TRUE

Khanna: "There should be no buildings named after people in this Epstein class. There should be no scholarships named after them. They shouldn't be enjoying perks of being affiliated w/ corporations or universities. Many of the survivors will tell you some of these people still are celebrated"

In April 2009, the Washington Post asked 10 writers to make the case for something that deserves to be tossed out as part of "spring cleaning."

I chose Larry Summers.

Better late than never.

The Future of Energy Has Arrived — Just Not in the U.S. While China is selling clean energy to the world, America is pushing oil and gas.

For the first time in 30 years, the UN conference on climate change is taking place without top U.S. government representation. China has emerged as the top dog at the summit and is poised to become the world’s supplier of green energy technology.

Listen to "The Daily."

Mark Epstein (Jeffrey’s brother):

“The reason they’re gonna be releasing these things, the reason for the flip is that they’re sanitizing these files. There’s a facility in Winchester, Virginia where they’re scrubbing the files to take Republican names out”

Trump ended Secret Service protection for Joe Biden's family, Kamala Harris, and others. But we're paying for FBI protection for Kash Patel's girlfriend? While her singing is so bad it's almost a crime, she's not in need of security, and certainly not on our dime!

Straight up Christian Nationalism from DoD.

Yeah, that’s what really set America apart — we were the first and only nation in history to put a religious angle on wars.

📌I was wondering what was taking Trump so long to lie he wanted the Epstein Files released knowing full well, he has absolutely no intention of releasing them.
He could release them RIGHT NOW if he wanted to, and I swear to GOD, I can't believe the media is paying this fucking game with him AGAIN.

The avg home sale price in the Milwaukee area in October was $437,000, and yet some legislators think $7.25/hr is a perfectly acceptable minimum wage.

A minimum-wage worker could spend their entire salary before taxes on a mortgage and still not come close to affording a home in this market.

NEW: A federal judge ordered the DOJ to provide former FBI Director James Comey with all materials it presented to a grand jury for his two-count indictment, citing "substantive irregularities" he found that may constitute "misconduct" by the DOJ.

Obligation of States to Stop Intelligence Support for U.S. Strikes The only way States can avoid complicity in “arbitrary killings” under IHRL is to refrain from sharing intelligence that enables them.

A counterproductive and unlawful U.S. policy:

Several States have now curtailed counter-narcotics intelligence support and/or called out U.S. boat strikes as illegal:

Canada
Colombia
EU
France
Mexico
Netherlands?
UK

We discuss their legal obligations that forbid support for boat strikes.
