Well, well, well. In 2025, Brendan Carr’s wife “joined billionaire Peter Thiel’s data analytics firm, Palantir Technologies, as its head of global policy.” 4/28/25 … 1/ www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

I wonder what the polling looks like for using 1.8 billion dollars of Americans’ taxes to pay off political supporters who broke the law.

When a federal agency tasked with protecting all Americans decides to mandate a specific religious worldview, it ceases to protect democracy and begins to threaten it.

I took a very circuitous route to town today.

Seems an apt depiction of Lake Superior.

There isn’t much left to say except that your children will be less well-rounded than you. Less well-read than you. Less intelligent than you. Less able to problem solve than you. Leas worldly than you. Less empathetic. Less equipped. And more helpless. For the first time in living history.

#politics #vote I'm going to say it again, because it seems we all have very short memories. Polling. Doesn't. Mean. Shit. We've been let down repeatedly. Voter turnout is what matters. Stop watching polling. Start planning to get your ass to the actual polling places. We only win by showing up.

Lights are out

Pennsylvania greenhouse stays warm by storing heat underground A ‘climate battery’ system helps plants thrive all winter – no fossil fuels needed.

I heard this story yesterday on Deadline White House and sat there actually agape, as a the granddaughter of a WWII vet, that this asshole would demand to snorkel through a prohibited military graveyard, and then do it.

Stop laughing. My hair just does this when I smell something sus. I can’t help it if I look funny. This shape could save your life someday!

The future of education is students learning nothing and professors not being aware of that.

“My childhood home is being taken by @GeorgiaPower to supply power to a new data center…” 🤔 They are now seizing people’s homes in Georgia via eminent domain to build power lines for a $17 billion data center. One has been forced into Utah. And xAI in Memphis. And on and on.

A juvenal bald eagle and a crow, hanging out like they are best buds. They flew in together and flew out together.

Every day when I hear Trump give one of his insane press conferences that make no sense.

Retractions never get proportional attention. This one should.

Dems running for president in 2028 should consider pledging to replace Trump's ballroom with a museum devoted to American democracy and all our struggles over it. For good measure, let's throw in an exhibit about Jan 6. END newrepublic.com/article/2101...

Each one of these is art.

Republicans STILL peddle the stupid civics lie: “We’re a republic, NOT a democracy!” Buddy, it’s BOTH — a constitutional republic AND a representative democracy. That’s literally how it was designed. They just hate the word “democracy” because it reminds them tRump lost the popular vote… twice.

Oh my. This is spectacular. sinceyouarrived.world/taken

History will show that when we needed them most, mainstream journalists chose protecting their jobs over democracy, and it was cartoonists who took up the fight. @jackohman.bsky.social

“When you hear about a massive human trafficking and prostitution sting — 266 arrests in one Florida county — you expect disturbing details. But what stands out here isn’t just the scale. It’s who some of these people are, and what that says about a bigger pattern.” thehill.com/opinion/lind...

I still cant get over this. How you steal somebody's life... (he was 28 years incarcerated for a crime he DID NOT commit) He gets out, gets a law degree. Runs for office.... WINS... and then they steal the job

Suspending elections where people have already started voting so you can gerrymander their voting power away. Very democracy.

"War is hell. But a glittering bomb-proof juke joint will feel like a little bit of heaven. And it will be a great place to hide if you happen to start another one."

The White House said the recent comments were inflammatory, and civility must be restored or Donald Trump will destroy our civilization. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

I wish they cared this much about shootings when it happens to children at school.

It’s the little things

The thing about this assassination attempt is the Epstein Files still have not been released.

Would someone please explain to me how a judge orders The Epstein Files released, the order is ignored, and there are ZERO consequences?

lol
