Imagine charging US tax payers $37.5bn just to close the busiest oil shipping route in the world and, as a result, raise global oil prices to the highest sustelsuned levels for years. What a bunch of monumental morons. #Hegseth #Trump

6 years ago today. So insane. Never forget this. It explains SO much.

Russia’s ability to sign up/press gang new bodies to fill uniforms continues to lag Ukraine’s ability to subtract those troops from the front. Historians will not be kind to Putin. Not so much Icarus flying too close to the sun, but more a clown shooting himself out of a canon into a brick wall.

🚨ACHP is rushing a Section 106 vote THIS FRIDAY that will eliminate regulations, further devastating historical protections. Section 106 is what allows US to document our history in areas endangered by actions funded/permitted by our federal govt. Contact ACHP👇🏽 ASAP — vote NO! (cont.)

DHS bought detention centers with taxpayer money, paying $ millions more than what filings show the facilities to be worth. DHS spokesperson said the deal was made to thwart efforts to “outlaw or make private prisons financially infeasible.” #DIVEST #$GEO #$CXW timesofsandiego.com/immigration/...

Pirro is about to lose another case and rightfully so. What kind of an insane lunatic would ruin an innocent person’s life to hide their own incompetence?! And we all know this isn’t the first time. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

España por siempre! 🇪🇸 🙌

And the surf and turf and boondoggles and treats for him and his boys... and warehouse full of gender affirming T for the troops... 🙄

Loyal to their new scripted talking points, Republicans in Congress are distracting from truth and reality. They’re discussing Transgender youth and labeling democrats as communist “Will democracy survive, will fascism win”? Watch docu-drama 2073 on HBO until Aug 1 & Comment. #Pinks #DemVoice1i

The look I get when I say I'm almost done scrolling through a film watchlist

You don't actually care about this, but the Democratic Party produced the biggest climate change abatement package in history, in 2022. Democrats also produced the biggest federal labor rights legislation in history, and the biggest consumer protection legislation in history.

More than 20,000 unaccompanied children are at imminent risk of losing access to legal representation in their immigration proceedings.

Influencers be Normal about Abdul El-Sayed Challenge part 2: Implying a, by all accounts, squeaky clean Doctor is the same as the Oysterman in anything but running on Medicare-for-All is a great way to dampen voter turnout. Stop playing on the Muslim = dangerous trope; it’s unbecoming for a Dem.

Now only if we had a government lab to monitor these things… Oh wait. We had one... “Based on simple math, these outbreak responses—which require rapid, timely responses—are going to be greatly diminished...” -A former CDC lab director 🧪 archive.today/gvSEI

We know when DTE cuts our power, it isn't just "inconvenient". It's a week of food in your fridge, your kids' ability to stay cool, & your grandma's oxygen access — all gone. But instead of fighting DTE for us, our US Rep. Shri Thanedar takes DTE's money & looks the other way.

They are killing nature with their data center. They can't be allowed to continue.

The Pentagon is withholding causality and hit numbers. The CDC is withholding infection rates. The FDA is withholding information about food contamination. The EPA is withholding pollution and climate data. This corrupt administration is ALL about concealing the consequences of its incompetence.

The US government is using our tax dollars to carry out and enable state-sanctioned violence. Again and again, we see the same lies about those who defend justice and speak truth to power.

Where are you world? We are literally drowning

I’ll be live tweeting the game from a gay bathhouse. follow along if you want commentary from a room of naked men who has some common desire with straight bros one day every four years

ICE killed two men on their way to work — Lorenzo Salgado in Houston, Johan Durán in Biddeford, Maine. Pope Leo XIV says the church cannot be silent on migrants. Houston's bishop got the memo. Portland's bishop managed two unsigned sentences that never mention ICE — and never posted them.

"It's obvious that Farage calling a fake by-election in Clacton isn't going to stop all the parliamentary investigations into him, so this is why he's screaming for a general election, because that effectively resets parliament. Farage is desperate, he knows he's in serious trouble" via We Demand UK

Well, this didn’t make me feel good. What the hell? Why aren’t they in jail?

ABC News: Trump's longtime teleprompter operator is believed to have made more than $100K betting on Trump's speeches, sources say. Medhi Hasan: Is there anyone - anyone?? - in Trump’s orbit who isn’t corrupt or a grifter or obsessed with making money out of the presidency??? Me: Nope. No one.

With 57% of its electricity now coming from renewables, including 22% from solar & 21% from wind, Spain built one of Europe's most impressive electricity systems. Solar is now the country's fastest-growing source of power & has helped drive some of the lowest wholesale electricity prices in Europe.

Beshear needs to do what Mitch would do in his shoes. The law they made to stop Beshear from appointing a replacement violates the state constitution. Make the friggin' appointment!!! Make them prove he's alive or take you to court (which will prove he's not alive).

Our oligarch-owned media and vested interests from the fossil fuel lobby have created a vast perception distortion field. Net Zero is popular as well as scientifically necessary. But if you can persuade everyone that this is not so, you can stall and slow the transition.

Politicians usually show up at the border to demonize & fear-monger. We just drove 750 miles from El Paso to the Valley to show off the beauty & potential of our border communities. We’re showing up for Texans along the border who've been left behind by both political parties.

In 30 or 50 years, the period we are living through now will be remembered as the Great Cowardice. That is how it will appear in our grandchildren’s history books.

Over the past month, New York has welcomed the world. From neighborhood watch parties to the stadium, we’ve celebrated the communities that make our city the global capital of the beautiful game. Today, we close out a historic World Cup, proud of how New Yorkers showed up every step of the way.

Not in our lifetimes

Jon Ossoff sums it up: “This is the cruelest & most arrogant group of people who ever ascended to high office - their cruelty & arrogance are only matched by their incompetence."

When Alexander the Great was 33, he wept because there were no more worlds to conquer. Lamine Yamal is only 19 👑

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

We're less than a decade away from turning into a third world country. The sort of country where corrupt politicians are bought for £5 million and have all their expenses paid by convicted criminals.

Privacy isn't something we should have to earn. Millions of law-abiding Texans shouldn't have their movements cataloged just because the technology exists. Let's put Texans before surveillance.

On this day in 1919, a Czech Jewish woman was born. On the 7 May 1942 she was deported to Theresienstadt with her parents & siblings and on the 9 May 1942 to Sobibór where she was most probably murdered on arrival. Her name was Věra Günstlingová Please support @sobibor.org

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson: "Magic happens when we create inviting, people-centered public spaces — a car-free Pioneer Square, Pike Place Market, our new Waterfront Park, Seattle Center — and give people reasons to gather and shop there. Let’s do more of this across neighborhoods citywide..."
