“The increase in Black infant mortality, from 9 to 21 deaths per 1,000 births, means Black infants born in Hamilton County are more at risk than those born in Iraq, Iran, Guatemala, Honduras, Libya or Vietnam, according to the World Bank.”

What I ordered from Temu versus what I got.

Among the first agencies President Donald Trump gutted after taking office for his second term was a Department of Homeland Security team that had repeatedly disproved his stolen election claims.

Stichwort familienfreundlich. Arbeitgeber des Mannes verlangt, dass dieser spontan seine Dienstreise von zwei auf fünf Tage verlängert, um die Schäden der dünnen Personaldecke nach Heuschreckenübernahme aufzufangen. Ich muss meinen AG anbetteln, 5 Tage HO machen zu können, wg. Kinder und Pflege 1/2

Wäre ja dafür, dass die SPD die Kack Koalition am 1. Mai aufkündigt und sich dann mal vier Jahre auf ihre Wurzeln besinnt. Die Scheiße hätten wir auch mit der CDU-AfD Koalition bekommen können, ohne die Mittelschicht mit den Sozialkürzungen in die Arme der Blaunen zu treiben.

Is this real? Wow.

Great summary. www.tni.org/en/article/t...

“Minutes after voting for $300 MILLION for private school vouchers, Senate Republicans voted to cut $43 MILLION for diapers for needy families.”😳 Welcome to @GovBillLee & the @TNGOP supermajority’s Tennessee, folks. A budget is a moral document.

Insane corruption. And if Lutnick is profiting from the end of tariffs you can bet Trump is getting a taste.

selbst Amerika wacht auf… aber was will man von der CDU schon erwarten?

Thinking about how the current political moment is going to be perceived in 2050 when the Great Salt Lake has dried up and chunks of the world have become uninhabitable.

Elise has legs for ballet but her hands are all jazz.

One explanation.

Just read that the Pope is legally entitled to run for the office of US President in 2028 and now I can't stop giggling. 🤭 (The only problem is that he is currently the head of state of another country, but it's just possible that no one thought of that possibility when writing the law)

Yes. 🫶 🌍

The USDA just finalized a rule that guts environmental review on our public lands.

There’s always something difficult about telling childhood stories that require drawing pre-transition me, but this was a story that really required it, I feel. Telling this story and glossing over this part would have been a disservice to WHY finding this toy now was so important to me.

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

REI and Patagonia both spoke out against the dismantling of the US Forest Service thank you to both of them! We’ve updated our website and added L.L. Bean to the pressure campaign.

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY! The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

Perfect. 👌

We got hit with a community standards violation for posting links asking you to contact businesses about the Forest Service dismantling. But it worked Patagonia listened. Because of the issue on FB, we’re building a dedicated website for that kind of action. We’re hoping to have it live by Monday!

"Theodore Roosevelt created the national forests to protect them from exactly the kind of industrial plunder this administration is enabling. Gifford Pinchot built the Forest Service from scratch...to ensure that America’s forests would be managed by trained professionals in the public interest."

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Lab Leakers: "SARS-CoV-2 can't infect bats, so it must have been made in a lab". Science: "Let's do the experiment". SARS-CoV-2 behaves exactly like one would expect in a reservoir species - low-level infection, no overt disease, etc. Elegant study from Sato Lab: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

The future of protesting in the United States may have been decided in a cramped Depression-era courtroom in downtown Fort Worth on Friday of last week. trib.al/Wv2d8Gy

The Dept of Defense is lowering standards for everyone except the highly qualified, motivated people who belong to minority groups the White House despises. Based on his new recruitment policies, Hegseth cares more about winning culture wars than the real war he just helped start. trib.al/f2gGETs

The presidency is a giant ATM machine for Trump and his family.

Three US teens have filed a class action against Musk and xAI for producing sexualized images of them. In the EU, a Dutch court has ruled against xAI and ordered it to stop or face daily €100k fines. First binding European ruling against Grok. #OpDeathEaters spookyconnections.com/2026/03/26/e...

US Deputy AG Todd Blanche personally intervened to block the DEA from releasing a key document related to Operation Chain Reaction, an investigation into drug trafficking, money laundering, and child rape trafficking by Jeffrey Epstein and his collaborators. #OpDeathEaters

Israel's defense minister Katz admits intent to commit ethnic cleansing, says he ordered "an acceleration in the destruction of Lebanese homes... in accordance with the model of Beit Hanun & Rafah in Gaza." Former def minister Gallant is wanted by ICC on war-crimes & crimes-against-humanity charges

🤔🇺🇸🇺🇦🇪🇺 WSJ: Separately, the Pentagon notified Congress on Monday that it intended to divert about $750 million in funding provided by NATO countries through the PURL program to restock the U.S. military’s own inventories, rather than to send additional assistance to Ukraine.

This is what happens when a president relies on his inexperienced, ethically compromised son‑in‑law, a real‑estate investor with reported back‑channel ties to Israeli intel, and a vocal Putin sympathizer to handle extremely sensitive peace negotiations instead of using professional career diplomats.

Saying The Quiet Part Out Loud Dept.-Kinda sounds like he's admitting he interfered in the election with VERY specific statistics. I quit Twitter because he bought it, way before his confession he stole the election for the Orange Atrocity. 🍊💩 Now I'm SURE I made the right decision! 👍

There's no love like Christian hate
