Today, November 25th 2024 is the day we officially learned that justice in America, in fact, does NOT matter. #sad

So let me get this straight. If you apply for a job at a grocery store, you have to undergo a background check. But, if you apply to be Director of National Intelligence, you don't? Got it.

About to drop $525 to get this guy to make a video denouncing sexual assault and send it to Pete Hegseth. Wish me luck.

Thanks @chescaleigh.bsky.social for the best. Stickers. Ever.

Someone called this mass exodus from Twitter β€˜the fall of the Broman Empire’ and I died laughing. πŸ’€

Cheryl and Ernie Johnson are honoring their son's memory by helping another family unlock joy. Steve Hartman @SteveHartmanCBS is On the Road with the healing power of giving. Cheryl and Ernie are the best of us… 1/3

It would be nice if Republicans cared about women being sexually assaulted as much as they pretend to care about women’s bathrooms

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

We are all witnessing anticipatory obedience in real time.

It’s really something to watch the Party whose supporters poop on the floor in the Capitol and wipe their feces on the wall tell us which bathrooms to use.

Who’s down with this? βœ‹πŸ½

Having a sides-only Thanksgiving this year. No turkey, just carbs and gravy. Modern problems require modern solutions.

Assembling a cabinet from the people in your group chat is certainly a choice.

I am EXTREMELY concerned that when targeted groups decide not to fight then others who are not targeted decide that they will just stand down. I am sorry, folks, but this is NOT a moment for standing down. I know that some will disagree but I am right about this.

Truth.

I β€˜ll start a starter pack! Let me know if you’re here and I β€˜ll add you. It requires at least 6 people to start one. #OGCLTtwitter

We're entering year 10 of the Library of Congress project. It's been a gigantic, wonky, surprisingly successful experiment of academic/federal research collaboration.

For the @nytimes.com I wrote about how Enough is Enough with the incumbent president and his cabinet of folly and let’s stop coddling Trump voters and be real clear-eyed about what lies ahead. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/o...

The baller move for the Democrats here is to openly publish the Gaetz report on Xitter, and make Musk decide whether or not to censor it. It will quickly get out anyway. But it would put him in a deeply uncomfortable spot with Trump.

NEW: The great Trump-Musk crackdown is coming. And it will hit hard & fast. Journalists will be first. But everyone else is next. I urge you to read my 20 lessons in How to Survive the Broligarchy, inspired by & featuring the great @timothysnyder.bsky.social 1/ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Love the Starter Packs and the directory. If anyone does an #OGCLTtwitter, lemme know. blueskydirectory.com/starter-packs

Vaccines are bad but not hamburgers from McDonalds.

No, we can't agree to disagree. This isn't sports. This isn't us rooting for 2 different teams and the winner of the game has no impact on your life, my life or our kids' lives. You support someone who promises to hurt me and people I love. As Charlie Chaplin said, "I don't shake hands with Nazis."

I would love to tell you about the times vaccines prevented me from getting sick, but every time it happens, I don’t notice. I just keep feeling well. Neither do you. Public health, when it’s working, is invisible.

Truth.

Meet Joy! She’s a sneaky beauty who suddenly became a snuggler. Joy is a Pandemic baby that I crawled under a house to rescue. Fave quirk: she slinkys down the steps. I will get video someday.

HUGE news - last night, the outcomes of two extremely narrow races in North Carolina flipped when all valid absentee and provisional ballots were counted, with major implications. Both the NC Supreme Court race and Senate District 18 flipped from counting provisional ballots. #northcarolina

Excellent reporting by the Harvard Crimson: about 9% of Harvard students come from just 21 high schools (out of 27k total high schools in the US) interactives.thecrimson.com/2024/news/fe...

Biden's punch-list before leaving office should include publishing the ERA to make it the 28th Amendment

Phew

Fave story of the day

This is Meatball. He's going home for the very first time. So excited to have a human of his own. Thinking about what he's going to call you. Maybe Bob. 12/10

Kudos to @washingtonpost.com for this piece. Thanks to the courageous CH and the federal prosecutors for taking it to trial. It was a gut-punch reminder of #WVPartII this morning. Hopefully this scum bag will serve some time. wapo.st/40I3n4K

Blessed are the satirical, for they shall inherit Infowars.

Yep
