I said the election was wrong, people would roll their eyes. Those people were wrong. How do we fix it...?
According to the co-founder of the Election Truth Alliance:

“These anomalies didn’t happen nationwide. They didn’t even happen across all voting methods—this just doesn’t reflect human voting behavior.”
She Won. They Didn't Just Change the Machines. They Rewired the Election.

If you are a voter in Tennessee's 7th Congressional District and also a fan of The Wire, I will, on evidence you voted today, pen a personal apology for having killed any character you cared for.

And yes, this assumes Wire fans do not vote for some cheese-eating supplicant to any tinpot dictator.

NEW: Earlier this month, I spent the day with the Luhmanns — a family rooted in theologically conservative Christianity.

In the morning, the homeschooled teenage sons tracked ICE.

In the afternoon, the mother aided an immigrant mother whose partner was deported. religionnews.com/2025/11/25/h...

This explains a lot
This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

Quite the pre-Thanksgiving news: Mayor Muriel Bowser will not seek a fourth term in office. That's a huge opening a mayoral race that still doesn't have any major candidates in it, but with possible entries from Ward 4 Councilmember Janeese Lewis George and At-Large Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie.

This is my kind of good trouble.
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.

In case this was annoying anyone as much as me. How dare they hijack my sun sign & make it AI.
Oh wait! Figured out how to get rid of the garbage Gemini button in Chrome:

With ICE and border patrol goons spreading out across the country, I put together a resource guide for buying, printing, and distributing whistles, based on my own experience. Now is the time to whistle up, hope this helps. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Q: “Are you affirming you think Trump is a fascist?”

TRUMP: “That’s ok, you can just say yes.”

ZOHRAN: “Ok. Yes.”

If anyone didn't realize this, the actions of ICE in Providence yesterday sure clarified it. Bizarre to see a judge treated so poorly.
ICE agents don’t view themselves as bound by law, and we have neither democracy nor law if they never face justice and accountability.

You know what helps people be less poor? Giving them money. Every. Single. Time.
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Trump's National Guard deployments have cost over $473 MILLION.

A disgusting misuse of federal resources, taxpayer dollars, and US troops’ service.

Doing this while firing federal workers and kicking millions off of healthcare is just the cherry on top of the dumpster fire that is the Trump admin.
