Anyone who uses the language of business when talking about government is, at this point, a dishonest looter and should be loudly and repeatedly mocked

And USPS is not supposed to be a for-profit business.

When global temperatures shot up by ~6°C about 56 million years ago, plants were unable to thrive The reduced ability of vegetation & soils to capture & store carbon may have kept temperatures elevated for >100,000 years Today Earth is warming ~10 times faster than it did 56 million years ago

Yes yes, surely we should not “single out” the leading cause of climate change when seeking to address climate change

No Healthcare plan No Epstein files Just a Big, Beautiful Golden Ballroom and a mess for the rest of us

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this. But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

All those folks who went postal when they started pulling down statues of Confederate generals are in for a HUGE shock when they see what's happening to the actual Whitehouse!! They're gonna go nuts!!!!! Well, aren't they...? Aren't they????

leadlocally.org agreed, here is one example 💚💚💚

I’d genuinely love to see more progressive, Green, etc. candidates running for local office so we can build a base of experienced, vetted folks with track records so that the next time we have a crucial Senate race we don’t end up rallying around black-box unknowns with shiny campaign announcements.

just a reminder that there were people of the time — and of the same class and station — who saw this stuff and thought, "yeah this is bullshit"

Orwell never anticipated that we'd buy and install our own telescreens.

If Republicans don't cheat, they don't win. It's that simple.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Hey US scientists, the NY Times wants to hear from you if you've had your funding cut. 🌊🧪

History has many painful lessons.

These are the kind of bullshit "polls" my "representative" Mike Simpson sends to his constituents 🙄

Everything is so stupid

Trump fossil fuel flunkies not even trying to hide what they’re up to. See judge’s descriptions of the gov’s case for tanking huge offshore wind investment: “arbitrary and capricious,” “irreparable harm to plaintiff,” admin did not provide “any factual findings.” Oof.

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

The president is using the military to dismantle cities that didn't vote for him The president is using the military to distract from women speaking out against his and Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuses. We are not living in ordinary times. Extraordinary responses are called for.

You know how sometimes we find toxic waste that’s been haphazardly dumped decades ago and think, “what the fuck were they thinking?” That’s how the future will think about almost everything we’re doing in 2025.

If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.

You guys see where this is going? Right?

With all the changes happening to the environment, you'd have to be a real fossil fuel shill to blame _windmills_ for any extinction events.

How much more of the future do we want to let them destroy?

Slavery. Wrote a song about it. Wanna hear it? Here it goes. IT WAS BAD, YOU DUMB FUCKS.

You got 36 cents? Congrats, that translates to 2.2 million streams on Spotify.

Confederate statue discourse coming back is a reminder to melt the statue down when you get the chance

Washington Post: “Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you” Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”

We’ve discovered a literal miracle with almost unlimited potential and it’s being scrapped for *no reason whatsoever*. This isn’t even nihilism, it’s outright worship of death and human suffering.

It's 3 am and I'm sitting on the Amtrak California Zephyr. Riding it from SLC to Chi. Had to drive 5 hrs from Boise, park at the airport, and get a Yellow Star Express shuttle at 2:30 am. But I'm here. And sitting next to a stranger.

Finally back ashore after 28 years at the bottom of the sea - a Lego life raft from the Great Lego Spill of 1997. Collected yesterday from the crew of a fishing trawler who hauled it up in their nets some 20 miles offshore. One of 28,700 lost overboard from the Tokio Express.

Devastating for US Antarctic researchers. US abdicating multiple global leadership roles in marine science. USAP people, we need a professional lobbyist-large sections of both senate and house bills dedicated to drilling and nothing about the NBP. Community led push needed and a comms strategy.

🗺️ I've spent a lot of time the past week looking at data in the Strait of Hormuz so here is a quick animation showcasing the sheer volume of activity in the Persian Gulf last Friday. The data highlights "Tanker" only vessels (AIS code 80-89) so everything from Crude Oil Tankers to LNG Tankers.

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

Also, Colbert will be fine. But a staff of 200+ produces the show every night. They are incredible, and almost offensively competent. I had the best experience on that show from the moment I entered the Ed Sullivan Theatre I left. And they will be most affected by this cancellation, whatever it is.

really don't care if you disagree with me, i think constantly filming everything everywhere is bad, i think the widespread deployment of facial recognition is bad, i think the fact there are cameras everywhere inside of arenas & that increasingly you have to use your face to buy a hot dog is bad

Today NASA backtracked on its statement earlier this month that the National Climate Assessments would be hosted on their website. “NASA has no legal obligations to host globalchange.gov’s data,” a spokeswoman said today. “We never did and will not host the data.”www.nytimes.com/2025/07/14/c...re

Heads up to everyone in New York City, Long Island, and New Jersey. This is what the New Jersey Turnpike looked like about an hour ago. NWS has issued flash flood warnings for most of the boroughs and the areas nearby NYC and New Jersey. Credit: Chef Andrew Gruel.

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

The white students who are struggling to make ends meet are not struggling because Black and immigrant students got into our university. They are struggling because of a shitty social safety net & high tuition because people like Andreesen don't pay sufficient taxes/the state doesn't pay its share.

"Don't send conservative kids to college, it will warp them and turn them against you." "Hey wait why are there no conservative kids in college? Clearly the Blacks and Mexicans are at fault."

Exactly.

We keep forgetting that the end game of all of this is to privatize government services

Firing more than 2,000 NASA workers is not the path to American Greatness. It’s just not. If you’re trying to rationalize that it is, you could probably stand to take a moment and evaluate what “Great” means to you and why you’ve taken the positions you have.

I was taught that once you've detected a lie, to continue the interview ABOUT the lie and refuse to move on until that lie is acknowledged, explained, and dispelled in the subject's own quotes. If none of that happens, that source DOES NOT MAKE THE PAPER. Burning sources who try that shit is key.

I went to journalism school. I have a degree in this shit. I had one of the great editorial page editors and writers I’ve ever encountered for a professor, twice. And I gotta tell you: they do not teach you to studiously avoid calling racism or genocide by their names. That’s NYTimes making Choices.
