Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

The actual question is: Why didn't she defend the human rights and dignity of immigrants even a little bit? Why didn't she show spine, conviction, or leadership on a critical issue that her would-be voters cared passionately about? WHY DIDN'T SHE RUN *AGAINST* TRUMP, NOT *AS* TRUMP???

Pundits: Why didn't Kamala Harris run to the center on immigration?

Kamala Harris's campaign speeches:
Last year, Joe and I brought together Democrats and conservative Republicans to write the strongest border bill in decades. The Border Patrol endorsed it. But Donald Trump believes a border deal would hurt his campaign. So he ordered his allies in Congress to kill the deal. Well, I refuse to play politics with our security. Here is my pledge to you: As President, I will bring back the bipartisan border security bill that he killed. And I will sign it into law. I know we can live up to our proud heritage as a nation of immigrants- And reform our broken immigration system. We can create an earned pathway to citizenship- And secure our border. America, we must also be steadfast in advancing our security and our values abroad. Harris: So, in this campaign, I will proudly put my record against his any day of the week (applause) any day of the week, including, for example, on the issue of immigration. So, I was the attorney general of a border state. In that job, I walked underground tunnels between the United States and Mexico on that border with law enforcement officers. I went after transnational gangs, drug cartels, and human traffickers that came into our country illegally. I prosecuted them in case after case, and I won.

Donald Trump (applause) Donald Trump, on the other hand, has been talking a big game about securing our border, but he does not walk the walk (applause) or as my friend Quavo would say, he does not walk it like he talks it. (Applause.) Where's Quavo? (Laughs.) So, look, our administration worked on the most significant border security bill in decades. Some of the most conservative Republicans in Washington, D.C., supported the bill. Even the Border Patrol endorsed it. It was all set to pass. But at the last minute, Trump directed his allies in the Senate to vote it down.

This piece makes it sound totally normal that the police gets to decide whether or not to "work with" Mamdani as mayor, and it continues, as nearly all the paper's coverage, to wield normative terms like "moderate" and left" in a prejudicial way. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/16/n...

This is important context from Julie K. Brown.

With alt text.
julie k. brown @jkbjournalist Dershowitz, who helped Jeffrey Epstein get this sweetheart deal, knows full well that there were almost three dozen dozen girls, ages 13 to 17, who were named in a list that accompanied this plea deal. The final plea PAPERWORK was manipulated to pick just one victim -- and his lawyers made sure they chose the oldest one so that it didn't look so bad. But the girl who came forward first to police was 14 -- and the list of other victims attached to that deal included many young girls.

4/ Gaza was decisive among defectors.

IMEU/YouGov Jan 2025: 29% of Biden voters who didn't vote Harris cited "ending Israel's violence" as top issue, beating economy (24%).

In AZ: 38%.

In MI/WI: 32%.

3/ This wasn't persuasion - it was turnout collapse. Harris lost 7M votes vs Biden 2020. Trump gained only 2.8M. Nearly 19M Biden voters stayed home. That's the ballgame.

we projected this a few months back: www.wired.com/story/depart...
How far the rebranding might go is unclear, but any comprehensive effort would saddle taxpayers with costs in the hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars, as every sign, logo, uniform, computer system, and piece of official paperwork tied to the Pentagon’s identity across the globe would need to be replaced. A prior effort to recommend changes at military installations commemorating the Confederacy carried a projected cost of $39 million and covered only nine bases. The Defense Department’s real property portfolio spans hundreds of thousands of facilities, from major bases to small outposts worldwide.

“WHO is working to scale up medical evacuations.”

www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfe...
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros I am heartened by the commitment shown by countries to provide seriously injured and ill children and adults with urgent medical care outside of Gaza. WHO’s Medical Evacuation programme has supported the evacuation of close to 8000 patients, including over 5500 children, from Gaza for treatment in the past two years. We are grateful to countries that have opened their arms and hospitals to help @WHO and partners evacuate and treat patients from Gaza. As the ceasefire holds, WHO is working to scale up medical evacuations. Over 16,500 people, including close to 4000 children, are still awaiting evacuation as Gaza’s damaged health facilities cannot provide the needed care. WHO urges countries to receive more of these patients. We also call for the opening of all evacuation routes, particularly to the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. https://www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfeed/2025/11/6/sick-children-from-gaza-arrive-in-italy-for-medical-treatment#flips-6384716426112:0

Great piece by @oriion.bsky.social and a great representation of what research suggests is more the norm than the exception. Detransitioners generally do not identify as cisgender even after detransition and often do not regret their transition.

“The hypocrisy just proves to me that no matter what I do, people are going to be transphobic to me. People are going to question my gender. And I just have to do me.”
Her gender transition set her free. So did her detransition.
The joy that Adriana Del Orden feels in her body could have only come through transitioning. She’s tired of being told that she ruined her life.

Dems have a real future in generational talents like AOC and now Mamdani.

But instead of seizing on them, party leaders poo poo their ideas and damn them with faint praise about how they’ve energized young people *where they are* but aren’t really a model for anywhere else.

GOP doesn’t do this.

Wow! A new low for Ken Paxton. His deranged press release claims that there cannot be any legitimate purpose for legal defense for people facing deportation — effectively saying that removal defense is not legitimate and only “radicals” would want people to have lawyers.

Horrid stuff from him.
November 11, 2025 | Press Release Attorney General Ken Paxton Sues Harris County for Unlawfully Directing Over $1.3 Million in Taxpayer Money to Defend Illegal Aliens from Deportation Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued the Harris County Commissioners Court for unlawfully allocating more than $1.3 million in public money to radical leftist organizations that will use the money to oppose the lawful deportations of illegal aliens. "We must stop the left-wing radicals who are robbing Texans to prevent illegals from being deported by the Trump Administration," said Attorney General Paxton. "Beyond just being blatantly unconstitutional, this is evil and wicked. Millions upon millions of illegals invaded America during the last administration, and they must be sent back to where they came from." In a recent 4-1 vote, the Harris County Commissioners Court allocated $1,344,751 in taxpayer funds for distribution to several nongovernmental organizations dedicated to fighting the deportation of illegal aliens. The funds went to radical open-border activist groups such as the Galveston-Houston Immigrant Representation Project, Justice for All Immigrants, Kids in Need of Defense ('KIND"), Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services, and BakerRipley. These expenditures serve no public purpose and instead constitute unconstitutional grants of public funds to private entities to subsidize the legal defense of illegal aliens who ought to be deported. The Texas Constitution prohibits governmental entities like Harris County from misusing public funds by giving gifts or conferring private benefits to individuals and groups that do not serve a legitimate public end.

bullshit country. 36 years of this man's life taken from him and he can't even recover in a lawsuit.
Man spent 36 years in prison for a rape and attempted murder that he didn’t commit, topping the list of exonerees with the longest incarcerations. Baton Rouge, La. police investigating the crime showed the victim photo lineups. On the fourth occasion, she homed in on one man whom she said looked “most” like the assailant, though she “could not positively say.” She later picked him out on the fifth set of photo lineups and then a physical lineup. Fingerprints at the scene didn’t match his—and when the state finally re-ran them in 2019, they implicated someone else. Fifth Circuit (unpublished): The photo lineups were constitutional because the victim “exhibited a level of certainty.” (Ed. note: You may enjoy his take on Blackbird.)
