The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

I couldn’t have said it any better.
I swear maybe once a decade in public, and this is the moment. This fucking racist and all the gibbering racists nodding along behind him are the ruination of our country. Our fucking job for the next fucking year is to fucking destroy them in the next election. Fuck them.
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."

What fresh racist buffoonery is this?
Officials prepare immigration operation in Minnesota that would focus on Somali immigrants, source tells AP, as Trump says he doesn't want Somalis in U.S.

Federal authorities are preparing an immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota, focusing on Somali immigrants living unlawfully in the U.S.

1 why do people post *images of text* rather than posting the text itself, or a link thereto?
2 why do people who post images of text, even when providing Alt of the text itself, fail to cite where the text is from?

So many people, so many families in Gaza are living in such horrifying circumstances - I cannot help and it’s so hard to bear. Mona touched my consciousness a year ago and it’s so painful she and her kids still are suffering from Israel’s ongoing campaign to destroy their people.

I very much hope that @murray.senate.gov and @cantwell.senate.gov and my Rep @repricklarsen.bsky.social heed this call.
Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

Like who gives a fuck about whether the next president is a woman when we are trying to survive fascism
November 15, 2025 at 11:48 PM
Amen.
SO MUCH THIS!
On a level, I don’t care. I don’t care right now whether a woman president is around the corner. I care about whether the president extrajudicially murders people. I don’t care to have a woman who does that, just like I wasn't especially excited to have a Black man doing that.

“As a Republican, who overwhelmingly votes for President Trump‘s bills and agenda,” she might consider that “his aggression against [her]” and against everyone he has any dislike for is all part and parcel of that same hateful agenda she has so gleefully supported up to now.
MTG: “.. “I am now being contacted by private security firms with warnings for my safety as a hot bed of threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world. .. The man I supported and helped get elected.”

The only thing I needed to read about the “what just happened” shutdown. I freudianly typed “shitdown” at first. It was a shutshow. And we have lost so much.
When you hurt people by shutting down the government, you owe it to thoss people to make that pain mean something. You harden your heart and play to win or you do not play at all
Playing and giving up halfway through, when the damage is done but nothing is achieved, is rank betrayal

Russ Vought set out to ensure a second Trump term would not be hampered by checks and balances: “I don’t want President Trump having to lose a moment of time having fights in the Oval Office about whether something is legal or doable or moral.”

Israel is still not allowing International Media back into Gaza, despite the Ceasefire
By Colleen Murrell, Dublin City University (The Conversation) – The world’s media are currently busy recording the tales of released Israeli hostages, freed Palestinian prisoners and their families after a ceasefire came into effect for the war in Gaza. But they are doing so while still being held at a distance from the centre of […]

Salient comment on the publicly spoken gibberish of “Justice” Amy Coney Barrett. Deep shame on every Senator who confirmed this unqualified joke.
NEW: Barrett turns to Fox News, rather than the docket, to explain her silence in key rulings.
Justice Barrett wrote nothing in the racial profiling shadow docket ruling, but had something to say on Fox News Sunday.

Soooo once again I find myself wondering about the New Ways of Social Media, which I as Gen X apparently am too ancient to understand. Now people don’t post links to articles etc, about which they have smth to say, instead posting just a screenshot of the headline, with their hot take/comments… WHY?

Wow I just watched the documentary about #Devo on Netflix. I was familiar with their hits as an Mtv tween in the early 80s and I’ve dug Mark Mothersbaugh’s work in cartoons and other shows, but hadn’t realized they were so amazing, and spawned in the aftermath of the murders at Kent State - whew!!
