tomorrow Leavitt will be asked about this and sneeringly reply “he was very clear, only woke commies like you wouldn’t understand”

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

Mantis shrimp are the most impressive sea creatures except for Octopi.

A new album from Squeeze is always a good reason to be cheerful.

If you are planning on traveling anytime soon, go ahead and book those tickets tonight. I just checked Delta, and the prices were pretty much the same as a month ago. But with oil prices skyrocketing, thanks to Donald's useless war, that is forecasted to change quickly.

This man is a monster. Full stop.

Jesse Jackson never stopped fighting for America, in times of darkness he turned to hope and embodied the light.

I've long felt that 'Wayne' as a middle name is a cursed name (e.g. 'John Wayne Gacy'). That McMullin doesn't even take a breath or pause between 'Mark' and the rest of it? Not a good sign. Should we be asking about his browser history and the crawlspaces under his home?

The Trump regime has abandoned the constitution: - declared war without Congressional authorization - ignoring multiple court orders - impounding Congressional authorized funds - ignoring the freedom of speech and assembly It’s a lawless regime that has no legitimacy.

Don’t worry, as a consumer, you won’t get anything back.

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

Stansbury: “Ppl are asking Congress, why haven't you prosecuted — why have you not turned the Epstein files into Epstein trials That's bc the job of doing so is the job of the DOJ — they're failing to comply with the Transparency Act — and now they're covering up files that implicate the president”

the world is not very good right now but you could Rosalía's insane BRIT Awards performance 70x like I did, it helps

Tricks!

Sen. @warren.senate.gov and Sen. Josh Hawley have introduced a bill to break up companies that own health insurers and medical providers. "Love it," says @mcuban.bsky.social. "They control everything. Literally what those companies do defines the cost of healthcare in this country."

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Rising ocean temps blamed for massive die-off of marine life. "Researchers examined the year-to-year change of 33,000 [fish] populations in the northern hemisphere.... They found the drop in biomass from chronic heating to be as high as 19.8% in a single year." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party. We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

You need to be a citizen to vote. You do not need to “love your country”. That isn’t a pre-requisite under democracy. Americans should be deeply ashamed of what their country has become, and they should vote for change at the polls. Anything else is dictatorship.

Mass horror at the killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti has DHS’s budget at stake. And yet in the past week, agents left a blind refugee to die alone. And lied about it. They pretended to be police looking for a missing child, to detain a college kid. And lied about it. What does this tell you?

Starting with Epstein’s enablers and co conspirators

Let’s be clear: the Trump administration isn’t “pausing” funds to fight fraud. They’re weaponizing Medicaid to punish a state that rejects their extremism. They’d rather see a child lose coverage than see a Democratic governor succeed.

If you ever doubt that one person can make a difference, read this story. #TeslaTakedown super volunteer Cath picked up a clipboard, made about 1,700 new friends and got the city of Davis to break ties with the world's greediest man. www.hardresetmedia.com/p/one-protes...

These schools went solar – and the savings will pay for teachers

He is just FUCKING LYING. Healthcare premiums are projected to rise 26 percent on average in 2026. More than 22 million Americans face higher costs after ACA tax credits expired, and lower-income families are losing 8.7 billion dollars in credits, increases that exceed the average refund bump.

THERE’S POWER IN BOYCOTTING!

Robert De Niro on Trump's State of the Union: "We have to hear what he says, we have to sit through it, fall asleep through it, it will be pretty stupid and idiotic. He's a clown and we've had enough of the nonsense. We've gotta get rid of this idiot."

This guy gets it.

"It is not a coincidence that Epstein was also interested in crypto, in AI, in right-wing populism, in trad Cath extremists, and anti-trans ideology, ... Epstein gravitated toward fields and figures that rank humans, explain away cruelty, or biologize inequality."

This one hits hard.

Good! Do it! And we can then rebuild it with integrity, ethics, compassion, and following the law and the Constitution.

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal. Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.

Oh, my goodness, this is a huge breakthrough in cancer research. This is another example of why it is crucially important to fund basic scientific research. Scientists Discover How To “Switch Off” Cancer Genes for Good share.google/WFhMJP5m3AK4...

AOC: “You are the Attorney General of the United States of America & you don't want to hold anyone of these pedophiles accountable — resign or be impeached"

You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid - The New Republic - 2028 is a long way away, but I would work to elect AOC. apple.news/AfspQYuYCRDu...

Shapiro: What I see out of the Trump administration is a group of people who are there trying to protect the president, whose name appears thousands times in these files, and a whole bunch of other powerful people We need prosecutors who stand with victims and hold perpetrators accountable.

I'm staying on this, since it's not breaking through enough. This is the stupidest, most dangerous thing Trump is doing. It affects the entire world and it's irreversible. #ClimateCrisis
