FWIW: I hate social media.
Today at the school it's a Funday for eligible students. The ineligible kids go to various classrooms where they have to complete assignments related to their infractions (Absences, Behavior, Cutting). I am in the "class cut" room, and I am having the time of my life. 1/several

This will be interesting. If they go easy on Ferreira, it looks like the favoritism it’ll be, causing greater rifts w/Latinos. If they deport, Leavitt’s probably unwelcome at family holidays for forever. “I’ve had choices…” George Jones #leopardseatingfaces
"A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts."

Imagine being married to this awful, and completely unhinged woman. She must be a barrel of laughs.
Looks like it’s going to be another perfectly normal day from the American right-wing.

Neither Alan Dershowitz nor Dana Loesch are "charismatic," nor do they reflect the views of most Americans not named Bari Weiss. www.eschatonblog.com/2025/11/the-...

Viola Ford Fletcher, who as one of the last survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre in Oklahoma spent her later years seeking justice for the deadly attack by a white mob on the thriving Black community where she lived as a child, has died.

no one has even bothered trying to convince us there’s a threat from Venezuela. no weapons of mass destruction. nothing. just a war of choice because why not.
US operations against Venezuela to begin within days.

Covert ops the first move.

I mean, who can deny the power, the majesty, the sheer literary thrust of the erotic poems of RFKJr. Just reading this sample has me throbbin’!

Worm brain's love prose is like Neruda remimagined by Bob Guccione.

It probably worked well on the whale head in private.

Really loved RFKJr’s poems about wanting to ejaculate in Olivia Nuzzi’s mouth. That’s the kind of love you only find between two people cheating on their spouses while ratfucking an election. @vanityfair.com hiring Nuzzi is a stain on their credibility. Will she fuck and lie for all her sources?

CATHY by Cathy Guisewite debuted in newspapers #OTD in 1976.

It ran until 2010, was collected in more than 20 books, and inspired 3 animated TV specials and tons of licensed products! Ack! #ComicStrip #Comics

I heard Zohran said "You know what people would love you for, sir, is universal health care and a basic income. They would build statues for you, and the very nasty people would suddenly be nice to you" and Trump said "wait really?" and now they're writing executive orders together

The weird thing is with Donald Trump just said about Zohran Mandani is what every Democrat should’ve said about Zohran Mamdani the moment he secured the Democratic nomination.

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is generously praised by Trump in the Oval Office on the same day Majorie Taylor Greene announces a bizarre resignation from Congress.

One of the weirdest days of this era.

DOD contractors “mistakenly” landed on a Mexican beach, declared it US property and planted “restricted area” DOD signs, triggering a tense confrontation with armed Mexican forces.

Mexico removed the signs, insisting the area is theirs.

Yet another example of total incompetence.

The @nytimes.com is not liberal, their writers are collaborationists (lookin' at you @ericlipton.nytimes.com!), and you should cancel your subscription. The same liars got our troops killed in Iraq and kneecapped a much better candidate in 2016.

Jeez. Trump reposted a call to execute six Democratic members of Congress, and it’s not on the front page of the NY Times, and this is the headline—no mention of hanging lawmakers.

Don't believe it. The Coast Guard leadership has outed themselves as Nazis, Nazi-sympathizers, bigots, and racists.
So sad and embarrassing.
