I have a very bad feeling about this...

A ceasefire is not “fragile” when 104 people are murdered. It is over. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Every business, government agency, media outlet and human person that continues to post on or go near X is consciously collaborating with the most openly white supremacist public figure since Hitler. There is no excuse.

Billie Eilish asked an important question: "If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?" There are FIVE ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Billionaires are the result of a failed system.

Decades ago, Kris Hansen showed 3M that its PFAS chemicals were in people's bodies. Her bosses halted her work. Now she wrestles with the secrets that 3M kept from her and the world. (Published May 2024)

If a guy who did two Nazi salutes bought a bar, renamed it The Nazi Bar, welcomed Nazis there and catered all management decisions to them, while thinking the old patrons would stay at The Nazi Bar so that fascists would have people to argue with and infect with their vile ideology. That's Twitter.

Newcastle Port now closed to coal ships! Wish we had drone footage of 5 Nannas in a tinny breaching 100m exclusion zone in an ‘exciting back &forth with police boats’. (Observers report). No arrests. Harbour authorities closed the port to coal ships. @risingtideaus.bsky.social

"If current trends continue, a child born today living within three metres of sea level will almost certainly lose their home within their lifetime" I find this terrifying - and the opposition parties are deep in the climate denial hole #AusPol www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/comment/topi...

Oh look, a global study by by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature has found that 788 amphibian species have declined in conservation status in the last 40 years, compared with just 121 that improved. #collapse

When Marlene Engelhorn inherited tens of millions of dollars from her grandma, she felt she had two choices: do something about it, or confirm she was "full of sh*t".

It’s going to happen! House Republicans in disarray—their majority is so thin that if just three more retire or quit, Speaker Johnson loses the gavel before midterms.

VINDICATED ❤️VANESSA Zionism is a brutal racist regime. Vanessa Redgrave said this before anyone dared speak out 50 years ago. This became one of the most controversial Oscar moments in history‼️

My nephew served 2 tours in Afghanistan. One of their interpreters, now a friend, was brought here for his safety. He works here and pays taxes. If forced to return now, they will kill him AND it will expose his family. They in turn would be killed! Is this what "Greatness" is? 🖕

They don’t need us. But we need them.

When the father said it would be okay if the son was shot, that would’ve ended the conversation for me. These two rotten old pieces of shit don’t deserve their kids.

I’m sorry kiddos, but it’s time to separate yourselves from your parents. They would have no problem turning you and your addresses over to the Gestapo as a “radical leftist “ traitor. Save yourselves? Loose their number. Also, sorry for your loss.

These parents really are certifiable, I feel bad for these two who just found out their parents would approve them being killed by Trump

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

The past decade has seen grave threats and unmistakable decline. But the past few days and weeks reveal that we have entered in a new and more perilous chapter here in the U.S. It must be a call to a new kind of action. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

They live in their own fantasy world and have no desire for the truth. How much of the rage and violence in this country is this bastard responsible for?

Trump 2.0's abominable clarion call: they are recruiting shriveled hearts and ignorant minds to join them in a Christofascist ethnic cleansing frenzy, elevating the very worst impulses of human nature. Sadly, this is not fake news, folks. It's real and it's happening right now, in our America.

Australia's Prime Minister today 💖😊

Free World accounts for 50% of global GDP; russia less than 2%. It’s no superpower, just a declining empire throwing a tantrum. russia's foundation (economic, moral, demographic) is rotten to the core. And the only thing more dangerous than an aggrieved dictator is a world too afraid to confront him

Kasparov nails it: Western failure to confront russia is the biggest security risk we face. Ukraine is buying us time, and we’re wasting it.

Since Stephen Miller is in the midst of another of his Aryans-only trantrums, we should note that his family are 20th century immigrants from the shtetl of Antopol (Антопаль) then in the Hrodna gubernia of Russia. Applying his immigration rules, they would all have perished in the Holocaust.
