Never been to the opera before?
Now’s your chance. We’re giving away 70,000 free tickets to the @metopera at the iconic Lincoln Center. Go to on.nyc.gov/opera to enter the lottery. There’s not a bad seat in the house.
John Oliver is right: One huge company shouldn’t own your doctor, your insurer, and your pharmacy – AND get to squeeze every penny out of you at each step.
Trump has launched state propaganda on the White House website called Trump TV, a 24/7 stream on YouTube. It’s something done in most authoritarian governments around the world.
Computer scientist Margaret Hamilton coined the term “software engineer.”
She directed the Software Engineering Division at MIT’s Instrumentation Lab & led development of the on-board flight software for NASA’s Apollo Guidance Computer.
She was born #OTD in 1936 & turns 90 today! #WomenInSTEM
Hayden Panettiere was vocal about the abuse she suffered in Hollywood from a young age.
Like so many girls before her, she wasn’t protected.
Now she’s gone.
This is why we keep demanding the release of the Epstein files.
The rich & powerful must be held accountable.
Dem's always get freaked out by the progressives/Democratic socialists. They really do suck at reading the room. Americans are sick of the corruption and ineffectiveness, that's why Mamdani and other progressives are winning.
This should be getting FAR more attention. An American oil company with ties to Trump’s orbit is moving forward with plans to drill for oil in Greenland. Some drilling-related equipment has already been brought ashore even though Greenland says the necessary approvals have NOT been granted.
NBC: “This new U.N.-commissioned report carried out by a committee of independent experts says Israeli troops deliberately shot at Palestinian children and carried out genocide and war crimes… over 21,000 children died.”
making it cheaper for fossil fuel companies to extract resources from land owned by the American people.
This is the latest step in the administration’s “drill, baby, drill”
Wow!
Iran left a thank you note in their locker room thanking LA for its hospitality during the World Cup.
Be sure you read the last line: “May peace, respect, and friendship prevail among all nations.”

CNN shows a side by side of J.D. Vance taking credit for what Obama already had in place — an Iran deal Trump ripped up before killing a lot of people and wasting a lot of money (at Israel’s request)
H/T @acyn.bsky.social
“This is a victory for 🇺🇸— because our goal from day one was for Iran to open the strait that wasn’t closed until after we attacked…” 🤣

The regime is also about to destroy the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, in No MN, one of our most beautiful & pristine National treasures. Opened up to upstream mining, it will soon be a toxic wasteland, like much of the rest of the country 😡
Both of Marco Rubio’s parents were born in Cuba. Marco Rubio was born in Miami in 1971, before they became US citizens. He is a US citizen because he was born in the US under birthright citizenship. #Hypocrites
Nick Shirley: “30 voters registered at a California UPS store!” 🤔
Paul Mitchell: um, people live above it. Look up, bro. 🙃
As usual this dude’s *reporting* is full of holes
Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution.
If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.
Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."
!!!!
"Aides to Todd Blanche directed the U.S. Atty’s office and FBI agents based in MN to shut down a civil rights investigation into an officer’s fatal shooting of Renee Good and instead alter it to probe Good for possible criminal liability, according to three people briefed on the discussions."
Not only is it morally repugnant for the White House to use AI to make Nekiva Levy Armstrong appear to be crying— it also appears to be illegal
In case anything still matters
It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:
They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.
The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.
I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks.
IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against
Please be aware that contrary to their fundraising ads, @forwardblue.bsky.social has no relationship with the No Kings mobilizations, no record of doing anything in support, no inside information, and is ignoring requests to cease advertising that suggests they are involved.
ICE officers slipping on ice while trying to terrorize communities is the most accurate metaphor imaginable. No balance. No footing. No moral ground. Just cruelty, incompetence, and gravity doing its thing.
Unacceptable. A road — possibly associated with Tren de Aragua — left unpaved by Minnesota radicals weaponized itself against two of our courageous officers, causing one to discharge his firearm in self-defense.
We stand by our brave boys.
The ICE agent who murdered Renee Nicole Good and fled the scene has deleted all of his social media accounts. The Trump administration says he is currently at home on paid leave, enjoying time with his family. After this administration, we are going to need a Nuremberg Trials 2.0.
Masked agents and Trump coming
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
One dead in Minneapolis
Gotta get down to it, masked agents are cutting us down
Should have been gone long ago
What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.
From Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, we’re saying “We Ain’t Buying It” and asking Americans to hit pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=ind_wabi
