This is what the future "Trump Presidential Library" will be like. Not a physical building. An idea. Because then Trump and friends/family can just keep all the millions and millions of dollars they've raised or extorted for the Foundation.
A scene from American Canto. Olivia Nuzzi tries to visit the WWE Hall of Fame, only to discover that it is not a physical building.

Some don’t understand that demonising refugees& asylum seekers is a red line for any healthy nation. As a group of people, like any other, they include the brilliant, good & bad, but labelling them as lesser humans undeserving of compassion, safety & equality is definitely bad for the whole country.

This is offensively callous.
This is also your periodic reminder that COVID-19 killed more Americans in one year than AIDS did through the entire decade of the 1980s. If AIDS was airborne, you'd wear a fucking mask in public. So wear one today, especially in situations like crowded airports.

This is pretty amazing. This guy just won a solid victory in Bucks County, PA, one of the most important swing counties in the country, by *explicitly and deliberately* making his race *all about* nationalizing ICE raids. Confirms the point about this now being a winning issue for Dems.

Hello @ec.europa.eu , or whoever is responsible for enforcing the rules, X's AI, Grok, is denying the Holocaust. Holocaust denial is illegal in France. Please don't make an exception when it comes to a billionaire, as usual.

Whelp. She's younger than me. Therefore I've been older than Wilford Brimley was the day Cocoon was released for a few weeks now. I guess that makes me officially a crotchety old man.
Born February 22, 1975, Drew Barrymore is 18,530 days old today, matching Wilford Brimley’s age on the day ‘Cocoon’ was released. Congrats Drew! You’ve reached the Brimley/Cocoon Line.

The only reason this exact thing wasn't a major issue in the US Revolution is that it had been solved in Britain 150 years earlier. By cutting off the head of the King in question. Hopefully we can solve it without a few decades of insane Religious Theocracy that bans Christmas first.
If the President can impose his own taxes and use the proceeds to spend on his own projects, all without Congress, we have a dictatorship not a constitutional republic.
BREAKING: Deputy White House Chief of Staff James Blair said the administration is eyeing ways to give millions of Americans $2,000 dividend checks from tariff revenue without congressional approval, per Bloomberg.

Huh. First time I've ever seen ICE's trademark camo-print tactical-cosplay body armor actually being useful for hiding in the woods.
Hiding in the woods like bitches

This argument needs to be made more often. Don't accept the framing of the anti-immigrant/anti-refugee bigots. To hell with them. Immigration is a good thing. So is Integration into a modern country. Accepting refugees and giving them a safe place to make their new home is an even better thing.
Above all it’s offensive that we should deliberately try to reduce the number of *successful* asylum claims. We are still a wealthy country. We welcome a (shamefully) tiny share of the world‘s refugees. It should be an honour & pleasure to welcome people who need sanctuary. Shame on Labour. /end

My mistake has been trying to explain what "fascism" is to people who don't care what it is.
So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise.
If America *were* fascist *today* - what would you have to do differently in your daily life? /1

you know, when i feel intimidated or scared about saying something like this in public, i find it really helpful to remind myself that i'm in a unique position, however small on a world scale, to push society even the slightest bit toward liberation. it's more important than my feelings

The guerilla marketing for the multi-episode Space Arc at the start of this season of 9-1-1 has gotten WAY out of control.
We have upgraded our geomagnetic forecast today (12 November 2025) to the highest intensity level amid an ongoing solar storm.
Current predictions suggest that the activity will result in potentially the largest solar storm to hit our planet in over two decades.
