The horrific tragedy at Brown University is the 389th mass shooting this year and the 230th gun incident on school grounds so far this year.

This is not normal and we don't have to live this way.

Yep
I heard that now they're placing people who criticize ICE under surveillance. I want it to be known to the entire world that I despise ICE to the core and I think their entire institution should be abolished. They are cruel, inhumane, and are examples of the worst of humanity

Fuck ICE Fuck Fascism.

And the sick fuckers in charge just watched them there, suffering, and then, after almost an hour of premeditation and deliberations, murdered them too.

There is no context, no explanation, no rationalization that will ever make this anything other than a My Lai level event.

Imagine what those two men must have been feeling in the 41 minutes where they were shirtless, clinging to the hull of a severed boat with the body parts of their friends in the water around them, no means of communication, in the middle of the ocean. The terror of it.

@vinguptamd.bsky.social Is it possible to do a report with evidence that Ivermectin is, or is not, effective fighting Covid, cold viruses, or other viruses? Social media is flooded with anecdotal “evidence” that it is. *Flooded.* Without access to medical databases, how can we figure this out??? 🙏💙

Trump betrayed Ukraine, secretly colluded with Russians against Europe, and has a secret line with the Kremlin outside of official overview, hidden from everyone including US spy / national security agencies. These are the reddest of flags. A spy sits at the White House.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Why does it seem like the people who brag about, and base their identity on, being Christian are the least Christlike people in the country?

Trump calls yet another woman bump "piggy," this time a Bloomberg Journalist, and embraces the Saudi dictator who ordered the murder of a Washington Post journalist.
Have we no moral standards any longer in America?
At long last, have we no shame?

Jim Ryan wrote a letter to UVA detailing his "resignation" and I'm gonna get some fresh tea before I read it because I feel pretty certain I'm gonna be filled with righteous anger by the end

I'll do a thread but here's the full letter provided by the chronicle

Someone should go there and show them the clips of Trump's Great Gatsby party. I bet they'd be so happy to know he's having fun.
This is the food distribution line at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas 11/7/25. This is what Trump doesn't want you to see.

Everyone is clamoring for the Epstein files. They have had so much time to alter and/or destroy them that I fear justice will never prevail. What to do what to do? 🤔

We are the difference between Democrats caving to Trump and building a unified opposition party that wins big by standing up to the regime.

We’ve got a lot of work to do over the next year to take back Congress. Join the organizing that’s happening near you to win everywhere: indivisible.org/groups

How do you explain all the pictures available with Trump and teens?
MOULTON: If you're like Trump & took advantage of girls w/Epstein-

SCARBOROUGH: We don't have evidence he took advantage of girls w/Epstein

M: Common sense be damned

S: Is he in the files?

M: Obviously

S: You have absolutely no evidence he took advantage of girls

M: I think it's pretty obvious
