This is not democracy.

All kinds of messed up. It’s not normal

When the Wampanoag first fed the Pilgrims they didn't realize they'd just invented Socialism for undocumented refugee immigrants. Happy Thanksgiving.

Historian of abolition here, on this Thanksgiving weekend words to remember in these fraught times from abolitionist feminist Lydia Maria Child.

There is something very wrong with the secretary of defense.

For those keeping track: Trump has torn down a third of the White House, illegally put his name on a national monument, and is working overtime to cover up for a sex trafficker for some reason 🤔. But still no word on lowering grocery, healthcare, and housing prices.

Seen on Bluesky, an apt description of how probably most Americans feel this morning about war on Venezuela: “I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war.”

This is one of the best, frame-by-frame breakdowns here by Brenna Perez of the Minnesota ICE shooting, proving without a doubt that ICE agent wasn't in danger, and he murdered Renee Good. Make sure everyone sees it.

For Renee Nicole Good Killed by I.C.E. on January 7, 2026 by Amanda Gorman They say she is no more, That there her absence roars, Blood-blown like a rose. Iced wheels flinched & froze. Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, Pure howling of hymns. If for us she arose,
