"Americans should not have to wonder whether ICE enforcement priorities are being driven by the financial interests of politically connected detention contractors. Your career can be characterized as a continuous trip in and out of the revolving door between ICE and the private prison industry.”

Respecting nature is not weakness,it is wisdom. Plant trees. Clean rivers. Reduce waste. Demand better policies. Teach your children that Earth is not a warehouse, but a sacred home. The power to restore balance still lies in our hands. Let’s use it. #RespectNature

MacFarlane: $250 — who’d be carrying around that kind of bill in their wallet to begin with? It seems ornate. It seems like something royalty would carry, but at the same time, it’d be barely enough to cover the grocery bill for a family of four or five each week because prices are so high.

Once again: German universities were the envy of the world before the Nazis rose to power and took an ideological wrecking ball to the entire enterprise. If you want to know how long it took for German universities to recover… they haven’t.

It’s fascinating how we are talked into confusion. Take climate change for example. Climate already changed. We are now trying to survive by using infrastructure that was built for a climate that no longer exists. But there’re still debates on whether climate change is real. Fascinating.

Criminalizing the poor has long been the way the robber barons and their politicians justify refusing to take their needs (e.g. housing) seriously. And it serves another purpose too: Terrorizing people into accepting any employment at any wage and any conditions.

Some FL residents feared a nuclear attack; those living nearby felt the heat as the night sky turned to daylight. What is the environmental impact to our coast/ocean/sea life? What cleanup of debris is expected & will Bezo foot the bill? Still mad us FL taxpayers paid $1.5B for Alligator Alcatraz.

40 years ago today, the European Communities, which would later become the EU, officially raised the European flag for the first time.   The 12 stars have since become a symbol recognised far beyond Brussels.   Here’s to unity, solidarity and harmony among the peoples of Europe.

Here's why so much election analysis is basically useless: A race decided by a point and a half can be blamed on almost anything. Most party autopsies don't stand the test of time, and the narratives that get pushed are mainly exercises in confirmation bias www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-05-29...

^^This^^ Trump didn't come to power on a whim. Centuries of building a white supremacist nation, built on racism and misogyny, created him. Because there were a couple of decades that weren't as bad means nothing.
