the UAW ought to be loudly and publicly asking these executives whether they agree that their own workers and communities should be ethnically cleansed of somalis
It was auto industry execs.
So far I have:
Ford CEO Jim Farley
General Motors Co. plant manager at the Orion Assembly site, John Urbanic.
Michigan U.S. Rep. Lisa McClain
Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa

Does anyone have that sharpie tool where we can name every one of the people smiling, nodding, or even standing silently as Trump unloads this racist attack?
Because I can see a future in which a lot of people will be saying, “I wasn’t there.”

Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

An entire room full of powerful old white people smiling and laughing as the president dehumanizes black immigrants and the first black president.
Just fucking pathetic.

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.
Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

Acting normal for twelve months would help, which is a bit like saying the Jets would win the superbowl if they simply played like a good team for a year
a thing to ask yourself re: the GOP's electoral position is what could happen over the next year that could *improve* its position? and what could trump do, plausibly, that might *boost* his numbers with the public?

The funny thing about the Falklands is that they're the only time the British found an actual Terra Nullis to colonize, the only sapient natives of which were a particularly hardy kind of caracara
every time Argentineans post their little crybully rants about the Falklands it's a reminder of the mentality that resulted in their incompetent fascist junta getting hundreds of their own conscript soldiers killed in an unprovoked invasion.

Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing.
Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war.
They voted to confirm him anyway.

Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”
It’s almost as if there were signs!

We gotta punish these people. We don’t have to interrupt research activities but what we do need to do is unleash a firehose of money to deepen and expand academic operations and categorically remove collaborators from access to such funding.
BREAKING: Northwestern University has agreed to pay the U.S. Treasury $75 million, over the course of three years as part of an agreement with the federal government to restore funding and end investigations into the university

Manifesting Groyper Cleveland out of sheer incompetence.
If Republican vote share in midterms and specials continues to be so closely tied to Trumps approval numbers, this puts them in contention for "worst midterm in American history". If Trump sinks to 31% it practically guarantees it. The current record holder is, of course, Grover Cleveland, at 37.7%.
Gallup poll | 11/3-11/25
President Trump approval
Disapprove 60% (+6)
Approve 36% (-5)

If they ever get around to building this thing, it should be bulldozed on Day 1 of a new administration. No messing around, no hemming and hawing about procedure or costs. Order heavy equipment in and start knocking it down immediately, as surely as an overthrown tyrant's statues would be torn down.
Even the architect Trump hired to build his massive addition to the White House objects to the president's vision. The two have argued about the size of the 90,000-sq-foot project that would dwarf the mansion. @jonathanreports.bsky.social @ddiamond.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Trump wants a bigger White House ballroom. His architect disagrees.
The president and James McCrery had argued in recent weeks over the project’s size, with Trump pushing him to expand the ballroom.
