On this day in 1859, the U.S. government executed John Brown for his failed raid on a federal armory in Harpers Ferry, Virginia. For attempting to liberate enslaved people, Brown became the first American to be executed for treason.

Take a moment to watch performance artist Guillaume Juncar. You wonβt regret it.
I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.
Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. Thatβs not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defenseβ¦ He runs around on a stage like heβs a 12 year old playing army. Itβs embarrassing.
Costco Founder Jim Sinegal will keep that hot dog & soda at a $1.50, and per that man's own words, someone will die tryin' if they otherwise try him:
Sadly relevant today.

βProhibited words and concepts: Equity, diversity, & inclusion; anti-racism; Bias; Critical race theory; implicit bias; oppression; intersectionality; prohibited discriminatory practices; racial privilege; promoting stereotypes based on personal identity characteristics.β
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited βwords & concepts.β I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories Iβm discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.
The party that promised "free speech on campus" has made sure there can be no free speech on campuses.
Itβs fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what heβs doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.
This has to be someone from the heritage foundations writting.
The U.S. Supreme Court was given the wrong numbers. The βunwindβ in the event of a negative decision on Tariffs, would be, including investments made, to be made, and return of funds, in excess of 3 Trillion Dollars. It would not be possible to ever make up for that kind of a βdrubbing.β That would truly become an insurmountable National Security Event, and devastating to the future of our Country - Possibly non-sustainable!
Oh, so he totally stole the money
That is a lie because Republicans have wanted to destroy Obamacare for 15 years now and they're getting their way.
this is stupid
Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).
Rape Prevention Tips If someone is drunk or asleep, DON'T RAPE them. When you see someone walking by themselves. LEAVE THEM ALONE. Use a BUDDY SYSTEM! If it is difficult for you to stop yourself from raping someone, ask a trusted friend to accompany you at all times. Carry a RAPE WHISTLE. If you find that you are about to rape someone, blow that whistle until someone comes to stop you. HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. When asking someone out, don't pretend that you are interested in them as a person. Tell them straight up that you expect to be raping the later, If you don't communicate your intentions, they make take it as a sign that you do not plan to rape them. PIA Age

VITTERT: By Thanksgiving there are gonna be news anchors doing a show in the morn from an airport & in afternoon from a food pantry. Rs control everything. Trump said the shutdown is bad for Republicans. How long can you afford this PR crisis?

Japanese scientists find microplastics are present in clouds

Mamdani says that members of the Trump goon squad who commit violent assaults and traffic accidents will face accountability in the courts. Same message we heard from Gov Hochul last week.
Newsom: "He is not screwing around. He's changing the rules. He's rigging the game because he knows he'll lose if all things are equal. He did not expect California to fight fire with fire."
Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.
Thank you, New York City. Together we made history.
Now letβs get to work.

SNAP BENEFITS, which increased by Billions and Billions of Dollars (MANY FOLD!) during Crooked Joe Bidenβs disastrous term in office (Due to the fact that they were haphazardly βhandedβ to anyone for the asking, as opposed to just those in need, which is the purpose of SNAP!), will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT
Trump confirms he is weaponizing hunger
Youβre gonna hear a lot of this today. Itβs okay to be freaked out but do not let this stop you from voting! If they relocate you, GO. You have a RIGHT today to cast a vote.
If you need help getting around, ASK. I will help you or try to find someone who can! STAY IN LINE. IT IS YOUR RIGHT.
I dunno why wanting kids to have food is so controversial and radical.
"Kids should eat" isn't a wild outlandish wish.
Sigh
Weβre going to have to get used to this. 2026 and 2028 are likely to look very similar.
No matter what side of the aisle youβre on, attempts to prevent US citizens from voting should be a red line for you.
We canβt allow terroristic threats to keep us from the polls.
So just saying this again because as a hospice caregiver, i see people take their last breath.
Death is not some magical clearance and speaking truthfully about someone who has died isn't "speaking ill of the dead."
I am not afraid of my words.
