Damn, that Luckovich cartoon hits hard

And whose incompetence is affecting the whole world.

Pretti and Good would like a word... but sadly, that's impossible.

These are the same people who dead name trans people.

Poppy Bush was an incurious CIA apparatchik who paid for not drinking the Ray-gun-omics Kool-aid. Smart? Not as dumb as Dubya, but as crooked as Neil and as duplicitous as Nixon. Not smarter than Obama, Bubba or Hillary Clinton, or Biden.

I don't think that polls taken during war remain relevant for very long after the bombing stops.

You know who is harshly critical of Israeli policies? ACTUAL ISRAELIS! The blowback on the UM graduation speech seems to be that we can't have a mild criticism of Israel here that is about ten percent as intense as what you would get from the average person on a street in Tel Aviv.

My neighborhood library has a free narcan box which apparently bothered someone enough to do this (these have all been opened and broken) Libraries=fucking awesome Random people-not so much

3/ In that vein, "liking" the first post in this thread is nice, too, but reposting is the only way they'll be more likely to see it. Thanks.

And by ties, they mean subservience to Putin.

The scariest thing: even after nukes decimate the planet, earth would still be better for life and humanity than any other

Two great presidents & two wonderful First Ladies in one frame. Who else misses them? 🖐🏻

Never stop talking about this until #justice is served. #EpsteinFiles

Man, this is so incredibly cool. www.popsci.com/environment/...

“Sunlight has to travel 93 million miles to reach the Earth, but none of those miles go through the Strait of Hormuz,” says @billmckibben.bsky.social. “That makes it a very appealing alternative, especially now that it’s cheaper than burning coal and gas and oil.”

Has your MP signed the Parliamentary Call for government to stage a prime-time televised emergency briefing on the threats to the UK from nature loss & climate change? We’re locked in a vicious cycle. The public kept in the dark - politicians not willing to act. www.nebriefing.org/parliamentar...

This is a good read.

Can we all agree that judges wanting to get confirmation in front of Congress that can't even vocalize that a US President can't run for a third term should not be confirmed. But they will be.

not to harp on this every hour but you could literally pluck a thousand pieces of U.S. journalism from the newswires, and find maybe TWO that hint at the fact our President is completely insane, and has no idea how literally anything works even if he wasn't

New: Microplastics are already in our food and water and contaminating ecosystems and wildlife around the world. Now scientists have discovered that tiny plastic particles in the atmosphere are heating the planet, magnifying climate change impacts. Free link. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

"two weeks" again?!?

This time the turkey does the serving

The U.S. Department of Education opened an investigation Monday into Smith College, an all-women’s institution in Massachusetts, for admitting transgender women. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

My god. What have we done.

It is so depressing watching everything previous generations fought and died for be dismantled piece by piece. These basic protections and institutions, while imperfect, still pushed in the right direction. We are failing future generations and leaving a worse world behind for them.

In a democracy, no president has “all the cards.” That’s the point.

Bezos “obeyed in advance” so hard that it’s gonna be hilarious when he pretends he never supported any of this.

Covering the terrible actions of the Trump regime is winning lots of people Pulitzer Prizes.

And Julie K. Brown got a special citation for her reporting on Epstein and despicable scumbags who enabled him! About. Damn. Time! ⭐

I've seen them all down the Autobahn in Germany and the farms look really healthy. Definitely better than the dirty alternatives that poison their air, water and land.

Turbines can provide an additional stable income to farmers who can still farm their fields around them while getting rent for the devices on their properties. Win-win. Farmers need all the help they can get in the US right now.

There's also this. Source: www.carbonbrief.org/bird-death-a...

Wind turbines are such an eyesore.

Jeff Bezos and his wife are the lead sponsors of tonight's Met Gala. Now seems like a good time to remind folks of all the ways Bezos is shafting American consumers and Amazon workers — and how his wealth is putting our democracy at risk. https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/amazon-ceo-jeff-bezos

Hawley is garbage. He should be rotting in a jail for Jan 6th

They’re leaving wreckage in their wake.

all this to say yes “competent zombies” are perfectly allowable but if consciousness shows up along the way as a side effect, it won’t be instantly discarded… because there is simply no reason for the evolutionary process to do that unless having consciousness makes you fuck less lol

Obscene.

FFS, look at these back-to-back posts from @ashevenell.bsky.social in two days. 😩

Only in America can one party control the White House, the Senate, the House of Representatives, win the popular vote, and hold the majority of governorships—and still blame the other party for everything wrong with the country.

And don’t forget … still here.

Anyway you can't go wrong in your activism by picking a cause where Black people in your community are needing support and just rolling up your sleeves. You'll be pretty much guaranteed to be doing antifascism at all times, because that's the area where the edge of the sword is striking first

Do the laws not apply to the rich and wealthy? Kleptocracy? Quid pro quo. Bribery. You name it. All of this is wrong and illegal. Shameful.

iirc there was one point he was waxing rhapsodic about all the aesthetic and cultural aspects of the Church of England that he claims not to believe in at all, which is about when the game was up. Especially if he was by then known as one of those atheists with the dogma that Islam is uniquely evil.

When Talarico says we need a spiritual solution, I don’t take this to mean we all need to start going to our local mainline church (though we all ought to be doing this 😉). I think he means that our solutions must include a bold prophetic critique of the moral depravity of the religious right.
