Fascism walks in through bureaucratic channels masquerading as governance. Large chip on my shoulder: Jalapeño flavor.

You know how it takes about 3.5% of the population to evict assholes from tyrannical regimes?

I feel it ticking a little bit closer.

Lots of signs.

Keep fighting.

Happy Resistance. Fuck Columbus. Eat too much and drink water.💕

This quote! I'm ded.

"“I also turned down Harry Potter. Warner Bros...they thought, well, they’d had a big success with Alfonso Cuarón from Mexico making Harry Potter 3 so why not get the third-world rainbow coalition making Harry Potter 4,” Nair said.

For those who don't know, Mamdani's mama is Queen of Katwe director among others, and a total badass.

Leaders who embrace art and creative fields are THE BEST.

Art is culture is life.

Without it, we live in cinderblock houses and listen to AI propaganda radio.
New York City helped my mother become the artist she is today. The next generation deserves a City Hall that lifts up tomorrow's artists as well.

...Acting State Comptroller Kevin Walsh said... “It is a naked power grab designed to weaken accountability, undermine oversight, and shield the powerful from scrutiny. It would also thwart the governor-elect’s administration’s ability to investigate corruption and protect tax dollars.”
And now, late at night before the holiday, the bill to gut the comptroller has dropped. Sponsored by Sen. Nick Scutari, whose buddies who run Union County were investigated by the comptroller. jerseyvindicator.org/2025/11/17/n...

We’d like to end today with a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt:

We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it as not as dreadful as it appears, discovering that we have the strength to stare it down.

Just keep going. Goodnight, heroes.

Betting odds on that horrible human calling in a vindictive report against her sister-in-law?

(Current/former. Doesn't matter. This was a targeted attack, if I'm a gambler.)

She is and I love that for her.
Sounds like Kristi is being thrown under the bus. I hope she gets the same kind of jail cell as these prisoners did in El Salvador.

Along my journey of research tonight, I found this website and thorough article. It's about actions states are taking in regards to different taxes amid federal funding reductions.

The article contains links to breakdowns on how some policies are helpful or harmful.
State Rundown 11/24: States Say ‘No Thank You’ to Federal Tax Cuts Reducing State Revenue
Lawmakers in two more states have wisely said “no thank you” to federal tax cuts that would have flowed through to their state tax codes and undermined funding for their priorities

I regret to inform that we all must proactively drink brain bleach and stay off the internet for the next 10-12 hours so as to not re-open the wounds of a few days ago.
Just opened my copy of status and saw "Ryan Lizza will publish his latest entry into his ongoing Olivia Nuzzi series in the next 24 hours or so, Lachlan Cartwright reported in his newsletter Breaker."

Counterpoint.

The "WE" is possibly not just "WE" in this equation, but a lack of education, dissemination, and political sophistication to get the rest of the population radicalized commensurate with the moment.

How do I know this? I've been enraged since 2016.

are you fucking kidding me
Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.

And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.
Trump appears to blurt out secret plan, not knowing it's already a bust

I can’t really do Black Friday on the personal site because the margins are already razor thin for someone who doesn’t have bulk purchase power.

So absolutely go buy Feisty Army stuff here, where tees are like 15 bucks this weekend.

So I thought Trump said Antifa was aiding Hamas. Turns out it was him all along!
Trump pardoned the guy "facilitating millions of dollars’ worth of payments to Hamas" which, considering Jared, Saudi Arabia, and every other absolutely illegal or immoral foreign entanglement:

Brings to mind Milo Minderbinder in Catch-22 who sold everything to everyone, no matter their side.
Billionaire Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, pardoned by Donald Trump, has been accused of facilitating millions of dollars’ worth of payments to Hamas in the wake of its attack on Israel on October 7 2023. Zhao also financed the Trump family's entrance into the cryptocurrency market.
