Dear @hakeemjeffries

How can you smile and brag that you already have the votes for next week's election naming a Speaker of the House BUT not know that 11 Democrats were not going to show up and vote to impeach @SecWar Hegseth?

That's incompetence.
That's NOT doing your job.

Today we commemorate the 88th anniversary of the Kristallnacht pogrom.

The night of November 9-10, 1938, was a night of terror for Jews living in Nazi Germany, Austria, and parts of then-Czechoslovakia that Germany occupied. It was a night of coordinated violence and persecution against Jewish civilians.

Today, antisemitic violence has returned to our streets. But we will not allow it to grow to something worse.

Kristallnacht!

9–10 November 1938, in color.

88 years ago tonight, Nazi SA members, Hitler Youth, and civilians attacked Jewish homes, synagogues, and businesses across Germany and Austria. Shop windows were smashed, the word “Jude” was painted on storefronts, and streets were filled with broken glass.

Roughly 7,500 Jewish businesses were damaged or destroyed, about 30,000 Jewish men were arrested and sent to concentration camps, and dozens of people were killed.

These colorized photographs show the aftermath: passers-by walking past shattered shop windows and uniformed men standing amid the debris of a ransacked store.

Never forget!

In 1968, UCLA unveiled its Inverted Fountain, whose designer was inspired by water-crater pools in Yellowstone. The fountain also keeps water from spraying on Bruins in Franz Hall Court.

Graduation traditions call for leaping into the fountain, being mindful of its craggy rocks!

Jon Stewart: "Remove that system of seniority from Democratic politics, it is a bullshit system... They're already like 'Chuck Schumer deserves a lot of credit for putting together this--' Chuck Schumer fought tooth-and-nail against half of these fucking people."

I’m like now’s not the time my guy, it would have been eight months ago you should’ve spoke up, but you never will because of course you are a coward who has decided that whatever Donald Trump says should go until of course Donald Trump is now a loser at the ballot box”

[It's politics @uspolitics1111]

The entire Democratic Party owes a massive debt of gratitude to Zohran Mamdani.

Before his rapid rise, the party was largely rudderless, suffering from a loss of direction, momentum, and self-confidence. By drifting away from the working class, the party naturally saw voters walk away in response.

Mamdani single-handedly corrected the course, bringing vital energy, ideological clarity, and an authentic connection back to the very people who had been left behind.

Without his influence, the party’s current standing would look very different.

Spooky Saturday Morning Crunch – October 31st Frightful Halloween Edition: The Return of Miss Switch

Picture it: a dark and stormy Saturday morning early 1982. The ABC Weekend Special block kicks in, the living room still smells like leftover Halloween candy and cold cereal milk, the TV’s warm glow cuts through the gray, and the projector of childhood memory rolls Miss Switch to the Rescue—the magical return of everyone’s favorite good-witch substitute teacher.

This Ruby-Spears sequel to the 1980 hit The Trouble with Miss Switch (both based on Barbara Brooks Wallace’s books) aired in two parts on January 16 and 23, 1982. It reunites fifth-graders Rupert P. Brown III (Eric Taslitz) and Amelia Matilda Daley (Nancy McKeon) with Miss Switch (voiced by the legendary Janet Waldo of Judy Jetson fame) and her talking black cat Bathsheba (June Foray, the queen of cartoon voices). It also marks the final role for Hans Conried as the dastardly warlock Mordo—he died on January 5, just eleven days before the first part aired.

On a stormy night, a mysterious old crone delivers a ship-in-a-bottle containing a tiny living man. Rupert opens it and unleashes Mordo, who instantly kidnaps Amelia and whisks her back to 1640—the year good witches first bottled him for his evil troll-transforming potion. Rupert summons Miss Switch. She consults her enchanted Witches’ Encyclopedia, hops the broom with Rupert, and flies through time to a pirate ship where Mordo is about to dose the town mayor. They snatch Amelia free, but the mayor still turns into the troll Thaddeus. Back in the present, the real puppet-master is revealed: the banished Saturna, plotting from the Island of Fire and Ice. Amelia begins to fade, and only an antidote mixed in the school science lab (with a dash of unicorn dust) can reverse the curse before sunset. The climax involves a flying pirate ship full of kidnapped classmates, ancestral revelations (the mayor is Amelia’s 300-years-removed grandfather), and a final cave-in that traps Saturna and Mordo in ice.

It’s pure early-’80s Saturday-morning gold: broomstick chases, crackling magic, a talking cat with attitude, time travel, and the comforting idea that the nicest teacher might just be the most powerful witch on the block. Frequent rebroadcasts through the late ’80s kept it alive for monster kids who caught it between cereal commercials and commercial breaks.

The Switcheroo Breakfast Brew: Franken Berry & Count Chocula Ice Cream Shake

Because no Spooky Saturday Morning Crunch is complete without a bowl (or blender) of General Mills monster cereal. This one turns the two classics into a thick, frosty shake that tastes like Halloween morning in a glass.

Ingredients (makes 2 monster-sized servings):
- 1 cup Count Chocula cereal (chocolate + marshmallow bits)
- 1 cup Franken Berry cereal (strawberry + marshmallow bits)
- 2 big scoops vanilla ice cream (or chocolate for extra Count energy)
- 1 cup cold milk (or chocolate milk)
- Optional: a splash of strawberry syrup, chocolate syrup, or both
- Toppings: extra crushed cereal, whipped cream, a few whole marshmallow bits, and a straw that looks vaguely broomstick-shaped

How to whip it up:
1. Crush most of the cereal into a coarse powder (leave some chunks for crunch). Reserve a handful for topping.
2. Toss the crushed cereal, ice cream, milk, and any syrup into a blender.
3. Blend until thick and creamy—about 30–45 seconds. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk.
4. Pour into tall glasses, pile on the reserved cereal, a swirl of whipped cream, and serve immediately while the porch lights are still flickering and the cartoons are rolling.

It’s sweet, a little crunchy, chocolate-meets-strawberry, and guaranteed to fuel a broomstick ride or a Saturday morning double feature. Who else still has both specials on their Halloween rotation? 🎃🧹

Most people think once the spiral starts, you’re just along for the ride.

But the spiral is not in charge of you. You are in charge of the spiral.

I’ve spent three decades watching what actually changes a brain under pressure, and I’ve had to stop my own spirals more times than I can count.

Here are the top four things I've learned that help when my thoughts start spiraling:

1. This thought is not me.
The moment you say that out loud, you create distance.
Your brain can’t keep running the same loop at full speed once you refuse to fuse with it.

2. Most of what I’m thinking right now is not true.

Neuroscience is clear: the large majority of automatic thoughts in a spiral are distortions.

You don’t have to debate every one. You just have to stop treating them as facts.

3. I can choose a different command.

Your mind decides. Your brain follows.

One spoken sentence is enough to start redirecting the circuitry.

4. One true sentence is enough to start.

Don’t try to fix the whole spiral. Just pick one true sentence, scripture, a fact, or a simple command, and say it out loud.

That’s the incision. Everything else follows from there.

This isn’t positive thinking.
It’s taking the thought captive and giving your brain a different command.

Romans 12:2 has been saying this longer than neuroscience has.

Hit that follow button, and together we will build brains that know how to stop the spiral.

Save this for the next time it happens to you, and share with a friend who needs help.
