For I think the first time in my life, I will be eating at a restaurant for Thanksgiving dinner. (The Air Force chow hall - er, "dining facility" - doesn't count.)
I will be tipping generously, because I know that the people preparing & serving my food would rather be at home with their families.

@kenwhite.bsky.social Is it a good thing when a Federal judge is named as a witness in a contempt hearing?
BREAKING: In Judge Boasberg's contempt inquiry, Plaintiffs include Emil Bove, now a Third Circuit judge, on their list of potential witnesses. Others include Erez Reuveni and Drew Ensign—both of whom Boasberg mentioned as likely witnesses—and Yaakov Roth, a senior official in DOJ's Civil Division.

@merkley.senate.gov ICE is attempting to set up a concentration camp on the Oregon coast, and has removed USCG rescue helicopter service that is vital to our people's lives.

Did anyone say we wanted someone to rule our country?

@wyden.senate.gov Tell your traitorous and weak-kneed fellow Senators to fuck all the way off.
And that includes Chuck Schumer. The man has pasta for a spine and keeps proving it over and over.

@wyden.senate.gov If this garbage is the best that the Democratic Senate "leadership" can come up with, will you be calling for Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin to step down? They are obviously no longer fit for purpose.

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states
Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

You can still look up any bird on Cornell's website, but the only result you'll get will be a chicken. Bawk-bawk.
BREAKING: Cornell caved.

The pro-Palestine group Within Our Lifetime has already decided that Zohran Mamdani has sold out the pro-Palestine cause... by condemning swastikas drawn on a Jewish day school in Brooklyn. forward.com/culture/7822...
Mamdani's first statement on antisemitism as mayor-elect got some weird pushback
After someone spraypainted a swastika on a yeshiva, Zohran Mamdani condemned antisemitism. Somehow, this generated conspiracy theories.

ICE detains mother dropping off child at elementary school—refuses to even look at her U.S. legal papers.
"What documents?" agent sarcastically replies—holding up the folder.
"The ones in your hands!" witnesses yell back.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

The dooming on this site is getting out of control. Every time you post anything about politics some rando condescendingly wonders how you can't possibly know that elections are over and all hope is lost. If you've completely lost hope, I'm sorry, but shut the fuck up, OK? You're not helping.

@sanders.senate.gov Your essential shrug at a Democratic Senate candidate with a Nazi tattoo is pretty damn disgusting.
I may mostly agree with the progressive and populist Left, but there are lines I will not cross to win.
I thought you had some of those too, but apparently not. Shame.
