What do we do with so much sad
Find work that gets us out of our own heads, centered in community resiliency, human and animal dignity and environmental care. Food banks, urban food gardens, safe houses, libraries, community medical, child care, shelters, education and outreach, etc etc.

Trump never had a fan base.
He had an army of bots who sold his racism and misogyny and xenophobia to uneducated Americans who took voting advice from bald eagle profiles posting Tweets from Eastern Europe.
It’s as stupid as it sounds.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Wearing PJs and slippers when you fly is now official resistance tactic.
Sean Duffy: "Dressing with respect -- whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better which encourages us to maybe behave a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport."

Exclusive: Americans waiting for Obamacare subsidies delay or drop health insurance
Officials from several U.S. states say Americans relying on subsidies to afford Obamacare health insurance are holding off on enrolling as they face 2026 premium hikes that could more than double, with one state seeing enrollment drag by as much as 33%.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Thiel has laid out plans for what he intends to do with the island nation in past writings. It doesn't entail the consent of the Greenlanders for anything.

Mark Kelly is not an ally. He’s enriching himself with cheap talk while he votes with the GOP. Y’all losing your minds over his “strong words” aren’t paying attention to what he does, just what he says.

This is excellent. Pay for those 17-cent ice scrapers with coins and extend this campaign through Black Friday. Be the disruption.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.
