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

Donald Trump & Pete Hegseth are too stupid to realize this, but their over-the-top response to Mark Kelly's video guaranteed that *far* more people in the military would hear its message than had they ignored it.

Being a woman is such good prep for working in Democratic politics. No matter who screws up, it’s our responsibility to fix it, and OMG not that way.
To paraphrase America in Barbie, it’s exhausting to be a Democrat.

The last time America attempted regime change to lower the price of oil it embroiled us in a war for two decades
And that’s just ONE of the many, many reasons not to attack Venezuela
The criminality of extrajudicially killing thousands of innocent civilians would be another

We’re about to invade Venezuela because trump wants their oil. No other reason. The airspace has been cleared. Embassies are being evacuated. Flights are being canceled.
He’s going to kill people for oil.

the fact that amtrak cascades hit another ridership record in FY25 despite shutting down for two weeks and spending half the year running smaller trains with higher prices bc of the horizon recall is another sign that the demand for rail in the pnw is genuinely insatiable

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.
One of the bragging rights that the US ed system had in the 20th century is that we didn't have education tracks. Essentially, any kid could go to a CC or state school & major in whatever they wanted to (obviously an oversimplification). I fear this aspect of the American dream is dying.
