You’re literally living in the shitbowl you helped create and continue to argue for more of it.

She did not, in fact, run for office in Texas. Good news there too, trump created more house seats there to ensure continued ratfuckery. And she didn’t run on that either! Gosh. So terrible.

Here’s a perfect example of losing another election. Since we only agree on 90% of all issues that continues to make so much sense.

Everyone who wanted the government to still be shut down, air travel crippled, and families hungry, we’re so sorry.

We had no idea the republicans would fuck up so bad that even their brain-dead cult gets angry at them.

[November 21st, 2025] WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Coast Guard has released a new, firmer policy addressing the display of hate symbols like swastikas and nooses just hours after it was publicly revealed that it made plans to describe them as “potentially divisive” — a term that prompted outcry from lawmakers and advocates.

“Divisive or hate symbols and flags are prohibited,” the latest Coast Guard policy,released late Thursday, declared before adding that this category included “a noose, a swastika, and any symbols or flags co-opted or adopted by hate-based groups.”

“This is not an updated policy but a new policy to combat any misinformation and double down that the U.S. Coast Guard forbids these symbols,” an accompanying Coast Guard press release said.

So there’s incompetent fuckery afoot, or they’re lying, or very likely both.

Too bad Harris was so . . . whatever it was she was. At least we don’t have to deal with incremental progress.

I very much think the country is in the same headspace of the family member whose dad is an active alcoholic / showing signs of dementia.

A lot of denial, a lot of pretending, a lot of avoiding, some enabling, and some commiserating.

Wait so we’re back to “f**k the DNC” again?

I thought it was “f**k the DNC, who needs ‘em”? Now we’re onboard with changing them? Pick a lane, people.

I’m all for changing them, who’s our leader then? Not Newsom, I presume.

It’s been 50 years since Godfrey Wade arrived to the United States from Jamaica at the age of 15 with his mother, moving to New York with a green card that granted him permanent residency.

The Black man enlisted in the U.S. Army a few years later, spending eight years in the service, where he was primarily stationed in Germany before he received an honorable discharge. He then began a civilian life in Georgia while raising a family, working as a fashion designer, master tailor, tennis coach and chef over the years while staying out of trouble.

That is, until September, when he was pulled over in Conyers, Georgia, for failing to use a turn signal, which was when police discovered he was driving without a license and arrested him.

. . . He has been incarcerated in overcrowded ICE detention centers since the arrest, a three-month ordeal where he was forced to sleep on a makeshift bed on the ground for the first 12 days, according to 11 Alive News.

In a telephone interview with local media from the Stewart Detention Center in Stewart County, Georgia, Wade said there are only two working urinals for an entire pod of 80 people.

“We don’t have any bunk space,” he told the news station. “We’re given what we call boats, and those are placed on the floor with a two-inch mat.”

“There’s sewage water flowing on the ground,” he said. 

11 Alive News also reported that it had obtained records of the Office of Detention Oversight, a unit within U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that oversees the federal detention centers, which revealed 12 deficiencies within the Stewart Detention Center related to health and safety, food service, phone access, use of force, and more. 

“The agency also noted violations of the required 12-to-1 detainee-to-toilet ratio,” 11 Alive News reported, adding that the private for-profit company that runs the detention center, CoreCivic, has ignored various inquires by reporters seeking comment.

But the Trump administration has repeatedly demonstrated it believes it is above the law and the Constitution.

Fred Hampton Assassinated (1969)

Thu Dec 04, 1969

collapsed inline mediaImage


On this day in 1969, the Chicago Police Department assassinated revolutionary socialist and Black Panther Chairman Fred Hampton and fellow Panther Mark Clark. "You can kill a revolutionary but you can never kill the revolution."

Hampton also served deputy chairman for the national Panther party. In this capacity, he founded the Rainbow Coalition, a multi-racial class-conscious organization that included the Black Panthers, the Young Patriots, and the Young Lords, as well as an alliance among major Chicago street gangs to help them work for social change rather than fight amongst each other.

In 1967, Hampton was identified by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as a threat. The FBI attempted to subvert his activities in Chicago, sowing disinformation among activist and placing a counterintelligence operative in the local Panthers organization.

On December 4th, 1969, Hampton was assassinated in his bed during a predawn raid at his Chicago apartment by a tactical unit of the Cook County State's Attorney's Office, in conjunction with the Chicago Police Department and the FBI. During the raid, another Panther, Mark Clark, was killed and several more were seriously wounded.

At a press conference the next day, police announced the arrest team had been attacked by the "violent" and "extremely vicious" Panthers, and had defended themselves accordingly.

In a second press conference on December 8th, police leadership praised the assault team for their "remarkable restraint", "bravery", and "professional discipline" in not killing all Panthers present.

Photographic evidence was presented of bullet holes allegedly made by shots fired by the Panthers, but this was soon challenged by reporters. It was later found that all but one of nearly 100 shots were fired by police.

Hampton's death was ruled a justified homicide at the time, although a civil lawsuit filed on behalf of the survivors and the relatives of Hampton and Clark won $1.85 million dollars in damages in 1982.

"You can kill a revolutionary but you can never kill the revolution."

- Fred Hampton

Microsoft announced today that they're preserving a bit of history here - with Zork I, Zork II, and Zork III now officially and clearly open source. The source has been around for a while but now it's all proper.

From the announcement they said:

Today, we’re preserving a cornerstone of gaming history that is near and dear to our hearts. Together, Microsoft’s Open Source Programs Office (OSPO), Team Xbox, and Activision are making Zork I, Zork II, and Zork III available under the MIT License. Our goal is simple: to place historically important code in the hands of students, teachers, and developers so they can study it, learn from it, and, perhaps most importantly, play it.

 

The federal appeals court in Chicago signaled Wednesday it might narrow an historic order handed down earlier this month, which limited the use of force by federal agents amid the aggressive deportation campaign that swept the city this fall.

For now, a three-judge panel from the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals put the entire order on hold. The panel found the Nov. 6 preliminary injunction from U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis to be “overbroad.” But it also promised a quick appeal process.

The panel, made up of Judges Michael Brennan, Frank Easterbrook and Michael Scudder, set a briefing schedule that lasts through Dec. 8. Oral arguments have not been scheduled.

It’s the second time the 7th Circuit has intervened in the case before Ellis, brought by media organizations such as the Chicago Headline Club, Block Club Chicago and the Chicago Newspaper Guild, which represents journalists at the Chicago Sun-Times.

Two of the judges were appointed by Trump, one was appointed by Reagan.
