Mood.

I was asked in 2019 What I would say to Mohammed Bin Salman.

I said it then and I’ll say it again— I hope the spirit of Jamal Khashoggi haunts MBS for the rest of his life.

Sad as it is to have to see it this way; but the only upside to the latest self-own by the Senate Dems is that tens of millions of Republicans will lose any possibility of health insurance, and they'll all be watching Trump and his minions take a victory lap for doing it.

HUGE: Another Trump #FAIL, as pressure from WH & Indiana Gov. Mike Braun on the R-led lege to redistrict more R seats had 🖕*zero effect*🖕.

By a vote of 29 to 18, the Senate voted to adjourn for >3 days, effectively ending their business until Jan 5 reg session. 😂

I think it should be a bigger deal that before Trump made him a life-tenured appeals court judge, Emil Bove was at DOJ taking the position that the White House should do war crimes
Report: Trump’s Most Corrupt, Least Qualified Judge Was Also an Enthusiastic Proponent of Extrajudicial Killings
Yet another reason for Senate Democrats to impeach Emil Bove the moment they take back the upper chamber.

Well, fucking good.
Whoa: A federal court just barred Texas from using its new congressional map, drawn by the GOP to target Dems.

"Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map."

Court says the old map must be used in 2026. Appeals are certain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

We haven't seen this type of wealth inequality in America since the early 19th century when the Rockefellers, Vanderbilts and Carnegies controlled the United States during the gilded age. I've been a wage slave for tech companies. They use you up and spit you out.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

I'm old enough to remember when "armed agents of the federal government raiding churches on Christmas" was not, in fact, a cornerstone of the Republican Party's agenda.
"Agencies within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, including ICE, ERO, and CBP intend to implement a comprehensive plan to target Spanish-speaking churches across the country during the upcoming holiday season between Thanksgiving, Nov. 27, and Christmas, Dec. 25."

It's always been about cruelty for Trump, his entire adult life. It's all about him.

He evicted a semi­-paralyzed stroke survivor back in 1980.

He has never been held to account appropriate to his vile actions.

We must do it.

Portnoy’s complaint. Only the liver is missing.
No one “turned on white dudes”. We turned on people acquiring power through corruption, clinging to it with violence,using it to justify racism, misogyny, sexual abuse and economic injustice. And since not all white duded are like this, it must not be the “white” or the “dude” that is the problem.
