Wow, tonight's U.S. election results are looking stunningly good for Democrats across the board right now.
We've got a long fight ahead of us to fully beat back the fascists, and a lot more people are going to get hurt before it's over, and the damage they're doing is going to take decades to fix, but if tonight's results are any indication, we surely haven't lost yet. Chin up, keep the faith, keep fighting!

The Boston Tea Party was about one person having unilateral power to impose tariffs (duties). The US was formed out of an opposition to this power and the US Constitution has specific language about it. It'd be quite a thing if the US Supreme Court undoes this founding principle. You might call that counterrevolutionary.

book talk: #RaidingTheHeartland

"Author #WilliamLopez documented the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE) raids on small and rural towns -- and the fallout for families and local economies. The book is based on his own field work in communities and workplaces."

Where is Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia? What has the govt done to facilitate his return? And if nothing, why is the Supreme Court allowing their ruling to be ignored?

Okay, I know the really important thing is the *content* of his politics, but can we just talk for a moment about the amazing typography and striking use of color in Mamdani's campaign?

I keep lingering on photographs of his victory speech. The visual effect is 🤩.

Zohran Mamdani speaks during a victory speech at a mayoral election night watch party, Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2025, in New York. The sign behind him, "ZOHRAN FOR NEW YORK CITY," has brilliant orange letters that nearly jump off the screen. The sign on his podium uses that same orange, contrasted against a violet skyline of NYC. And the stage lighting on Mamdani's face mirrors the violet on the podium sign.

"Top ICE Official Says Protesters Can Be Arrested for Simply Criticizing Mass Deportation Campaign: Court Filing"

#USpol #USpolitics #FirstAmendment #ICE #DHS

https://www.commondreams.org/news/gregory-bovino-chicago-testimony

The attorneys also said in the court document that Russell Hott, the field
director for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Chicago,
said during his deposition that he did not agree that it would be
“unconstitutional to arrest people” simply for expressing opposition to
his agency's current mass deportation operation in the Windy City.

This section of the filing caught the attention of Steve Vladeck, a law
professor at Georgetown University, who said it appeared federal
immigration officials are straightforwardly violating the First
Amendment right to peacefully protest.

“It's impossible to overstate how much of what ICE is doing on the
ground reflects this completely preposterous conflation of hostile
speech and hostile conduct,” he wrote in a post on Bluesky. “The First
Amendment protects—or, at least, is supposed to protect—the former up
and until it’s a ‘true threat, which none of this is”

The full CBS interview with Trump about the pardon of Binance's Changpeng Zhao is shocking. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/read-full-transcript-norah-odonnell-60-minutes-interview-with-president-trump/

"Why did you pardon him?" "I have no idea who he is. I was told that he was a victim ... They sent him to jail and they really set him up. That's my opinion. I was told about it."

#crypto #cryptocurrency #USpolitics #USpol

NORAH O'DONNELL: Looked at this, the government at the time said that C.Z. had caused "significant harm to U.S. national security", essentially by allowing terrorist groups like Hamas to move millions of dollars around. Why did you pardon him? PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Okay, are you ready? I don't know who he is. I know he got a four-month sentence or something like that. And I heard it was a Biden witch hunt. And what I wanna do is see crypto, 'cause if we don't do it it's gonna go to China, it's gonna go to-- this is no different to me than AI. My sons are involved in crypto much more than I-- me. I-- I know very little about it, other than one thing. It's a huge industry. And if we're not gonna be the head of it, China, Japan, or someplace else is. So I am behind it 100%. This man was, in my opinion, from what I was told, this is, you know, a four-month sentence. But this man was treated really badly by the Biden administration. And he was given a jail term. He's highly respected. He's a very successful guy. They sent him to jail and they really set him up. That's my opinion. I was told about it. I said, "Eh, it may look bad if I do it. I have to do the right thing." I don't know the man at all. I don't think I ever met him. Maybe I did. Or, you know, somebody shook my hand or something. But I don't think I ever met him. I have no idea who he is. I was told that he was a v

The perfect candidate to step in for Biden will be the one who is confident looking out over the massive crowd gathered for his or her ascension and saying:

“And to my Republican friends… [restrained catcalls & boos] …to my Republican friends, my party and I welcome the fight ahead! And I urge you, please, please—do not do what we have done; stick with Trump!”

Stop calling the Orange Thing’s performance BS a “news conference”. What he does is not “news”. There is nothing new in a pathological liar and bullshit artist. It is a lies conference. Nothing but a conference of lies AND NO REAL-TIME FACT-CHECKING.

The bridge they’re closing for the military parade, according to the NPS, has a limit of 10 tons. The United State’s main battle tank, the M1 Abrams, weighs ~60 tons.

So if they include those tanks, could get interesting.

OMG.

Get it right, Dems.

Our leader has spoken.

He has taken the first courageous, high-risk step.

But he has taken the correct one.

God bless him, and God bless America.
