My dad fought Nazis; it nearly killed him. I get to fight at the ballot box. It's a lot easier but apparently not enough. A curse on MAGA.

To anyone who thinks it’s an “exaggeration” that the rule of law is in danger…
U.S. Senator Mark Kelly is being investigated for the “crime” of telling people not to commit crimes.

Why are billionaires buying up media outlets?
As a media mogul, you can effectively hedge against democracy by suppressing criticism of yourself and other plutocrats and discouraging any attempt to tax away your wealth.

Hundreds of judges in lower courts have urged lawmakers for months to set aside more money for their safety amid a surge in threats of violence.
This has fueled perceptions that the Trump administration has politicized judicial security, former judges say.

As judges face more threats, only the Supreme Court got new security funds
Judiciary officials had asked lawmakers for an additional $142 million for security for lower federal courts, a 19 percent increase.

A member of Congress could literally bet on their own vote and profit 10x. A White House aide could bet on a tariff decision before it’s announced. Theres ZERO oversight. This isn’t innovation, it’s legalized insider trading on democracy itself. Ban Kalshi politics

I would like to see you run for president in 2028!
My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood.
That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.

A Virginia high school football coach who has been missing since last week is wanted on child pornography possession and other charges related to soliciting a minor, Virginia State Police announced Tuesday.

THIS conspiracy is a by-product of Trump’s MAGA mindset where men have lost touch with everything that makes us ‘human.’ “It was the goal of the conspiracy to take military control of the Island of Gonave by murdering all the men on the island & capturing all the women.”😱 www.npr.org/2025/11/23/n...

So, #BBC is now openly trying to 'compete' with #RussiaToday, #RossiyskayaGazeta, #CGTN / #GlobalTimes, #PressTv, #KCTV, and a large etc.???
It is really, really sad how - once an institution of reference - low the BBC has fallen.
Who will replace the BBC?🥺

"Bregman, who is giving the BBC’s prestigious annual Reith Lectures, said his claim that Trump was “the most openly corrupt president in American history” had been taken out. He said he had been told that the decision to remove the accusation was taken at the “highest levels within the BBC”.

As if being a decent human being wasn't enough for some people, there is a financial incentive as well.

Answer: Yes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing… #HousingFirst

So apparently it's kind of a wank session between groups of MAGAt trolls.
Also damning (and perhaps even more meaningful in retrospect) is how Jack was in there RTing Crystal1Johnson, revealing how the “new elites” of Twitter have long been high on their own supply (of disinformation). Jack just got his from the Gabbard wing of the “left” and now Elon from the hard right
Here it is, the most damning academic figure in the history of all figures: Russian IRA accounts deeply embedded in both sides of the 2016 Twitter BLM "discussion" (by @katestarbird.bsky.social & team, 2018).
THIS is what our information ecosystem supports. Twitter just made it 1% more visible.

DRUG FORD IS JUST A MINI-ME TRUMP. His attacks on the orange oaf are to make him look like a good guy - and help him oust the pathetic Pierre Polievere as the leader of the Canadian Cons.
This is going to get much worse. Ford's policies are to benefit slumlords. He already ended rent control. People in Ont need to start voting and stop letting rural conservatives (that vote and own their homes) keep choosing the premier. They don't give a damn about the housing crisis in the cities.
