wow -- @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com chokes up while talking about how the Trump administration is killing kids who relied on USAID to get life-saving medicine

Castro: "The idea that this information, if it was presented to our committee, would not be classified, you all know is a lie. That's ridiculous."

NBC News: The Espionage Act contains a provision making it crime to disclose national defense secrets "through gross negligence."   The law does not require info be classified, because it was written before the classification system existed. The law refers simply to "national defense information."

Contrary to what Trump wants us to believe—everything is NOT fine‼️ Retired General Anderson: “There are lives at risk right now because of what was in that strand… the Houthis know that we have somebody on the ground...” Take 2 minutes…

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

As an alum of the Justice Department unit that reviews EOs for form & legality--the Office of Legal Counsel--I've been watching the EOs & memoranda as they came out. What struck me most is the centralization of control and access. Things are happening so quickly that many haven't realized it yet.1/x

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

China and Russia are dividing occupied Ukraine, worth $12 trillion in natural resources. A dozen Chinese companies started operations on occupied territory.

McConnell being the lone no vote on any of this is like Godzilla offering to repaint a window sill after destroying Tokyo

The dumbest people who have ever existed are running the country

Are these people for real?

Well said, Pete Buttigieg

The editing of this--Questlove's eye and ear--is beyond belief. You won't see anything better today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDxY...

Town: Our doctors, nurses, teachers etc. can no longer afford to live in our community, we’re proposing to make it easier to build more housing. Residents: NO! —1 year later— Residents: Why’s my favorite restaurant closing? Why do I wait 5 hours at the hospital? Town: 😐

Gavin Newsom launched a website to combat the wildfire disinformation spreading about Los Angeles, because people can’t be bothered to do a simple Google search before sharing nonsense. And because people suck! Get the facts: californiafirefacts.com

Former CA First Lady @mariashriver.bsky.social has compiled this vetted list of charities helping those impacted by the Southern California fires including CA Community Fdn, World Food Kitchen, Pasadena Humane Society & more www.today.com/news/climate...

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social. propub.li/3DGXECO

Some important words for somebody I hope... niallharbison.substack.com/p/how-dogs-s...

Another environmental catastrophe caused by Russians east of Crimea, after one of their decaying oil tankers broke apart on high seas 2 days ago, 35km of pristine coastline has been contaminated in true Russian style. And these tankers are now all over the world.

This cover is more like it.

The grass is not always greener on the other side 🥰🙏

Agree with every word. Thx 🙏 for writing this! @elienyc.bsky.social

What Banksy says…

I'm glad Pete Hegseth has pledged not to drink if he is confirmed as Defense Secretary. So, I guess he can still sexually harass women, mismanage funds, discriminate against women service members, push for a Christian Nationalist agenda, and be a virulent Islamaphobe? Super duper.

Many articles are pushing one point but Joyce does a better job capturing all the valid reasons it was the right thing to do.

Yes. This piece is really thoughtful and important. Much to chew on. Thank you for posting @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social and for writing, Aaron Rabinowitz. www.skeptic.org.uk/2024/11/the-...

In 2016, as clouds promised much needed rains in Tsavo, a pilot sighted a tiny elephant calf standing beside her collapsed mother. With the support of her Keepers and foster parents, Kuishi (meaning ‘to live’) has grown into a confident and vibrant young elephant. swt.bio/kuishi #rescueversary

Undocumented workers pay nearly $100B year in state and federal taxes, including: "$25.7 billion in Social Security taxes, $6.4 billion in Medicare taxes, and $1.8 billion in unemployment insurance taxes in 2022." Amount of services received for the payroll taxes paid? 0 itep.org/undocumented...

can’t stop thinking about this Mary Oliver poem 🥹

Happy Thanksgiving! Please enjoy a clip of the incredibly multitalented Sec Of Transportation Pete Buttigieg 🎶

it's several years old but the Adele SNL Thanksgiving sketch is still perfect

Anyway here’s a cheerful piece about how the Sun will eventually destroy all life on Earth (but not by exploding, so, you know, there’s that)

Why is Tokyo so fashionable? Some theories. 🧵

Love it. Gavin is not fuckin around!

When @timothysnyder.bsky.social writes “Do not obey in advance” of tyrants I also apply that to giving in to our fears. Many are justifiably scared but we must not allow that fear to paralyze us in to inaction! My latest dives into some lessons and what we can do. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him “What should Americans learn from Watergate?” 20 years later in ‘94. His answer is remarkable—unfortunately things didn’t work out so well in 2024.

Omg

And use soap, a wash isn’t a rinse!

Bam. There is it. US Department of Justice has filed - requesting divestiture of Chrome as a remedy for court's finding against Google. Android at risk, too. /1

Love this. #abortion #prochoice

The Founders put ‘advice and consent’ in the Constitution for a reason. They wanted Senators to have oversight over Cabinet picks of a President to ensure that they were properly vetted. Winning an election 49.89%-48.24 doesn’t dispense with that constitutional responsibility.
