It's tragic that the mindless cruelty of our Toddler-in-Chief and his cronies hurts young athletes who want nothing more than to compete.

They are doing everything they possibly can to justify invoking the Insurrection Act and suspend the midterm election.

The one-state solution for Palestine has been spoken of for decades—sometimes as a moral ideal, sometimes as a technocratic fix, and at other times as a convenient abstraction. #Opinion by Ranjan Solomon Read: www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260109-bey...

Now here it is, your moment of zen.

When it comes down to it, the man's just a common 🤬ing criminal. Those revenues belong to the people of Venezuela, not Trump States of America Inc.

Asked by reporters about the Democratic response to Republicans refusing to display the Congressionally authorized plaque, Speaker Johnson replied, "I haven't heard anything about offices." 😒

For those keeping score at home, we're now on Day 355 of the "dictator on day 1" presidency.

“The principle established after the Second World War, which prohibited nations from using force to violate the borders of others, has been completely undermined” by conflicts around the world, referencing Venezuela, Ukraine and Gaza as well as the instability in Haiti, Sudan and South Sudan . . .

" . . . [T]he center's new business model, which requires productions to be fully-funded in advance, is incompatible with the usual mix of ticket sales, grants and donations that cannot all be secured ahead."

No book is going to turn kids into someone else. But books will regularly show kids other people like them and show those kids they're not alone. And they'll show kids other types of people who also exist. There is a large proportion of the population who are terrified of this.

Girl covers some real estate to get that point. She was playing in two different area codes, I think.

"The culture of deference to official police narratives, and the same structures of cruelty, of excess, and of impunity that have been allowed to flourish in so many police departments in Black and Latino communities, is the same cultural thread that allows ICE to behave the way they do."

“(The Montana Army National Guard) issued clear directives no antler collecting of any type is authorized,” he added. “This is misuse of government property inconsistent with our standards. We are not going to tolerate it.”

"Thanks to social media and GPS hiking apps, the lake is now one of the park’s most photographed destinations, and a maze of paths stomped into the vegetation have supplanted a rugged, bushwhacking adventure." #RecreationEcology

Sometimes the most transformative solutions come from looking at old ideas with fresh eyes. Bricks, sand & stone could play a key role as thermal energy storage — cheap, scalable, and perfect for storing excess wind & solar as heat for industry and district heating. www.euractiv.com/news/bricks-...

🚨Cody Roberts, charged with felony animal cruelty for torturing a wolf, is now asking the court to dismiss his case. Allowing this would send a dangerous message that extreme violence toward wildlife can be excused. Justice for wildlife depends on accountability. https://bit.ly/45BYvzD

Bullies are cowards at heart, and they know it. It's why they're so easily angered.

Meanwhile Trump himself voted by mail twice in 2020, and encouraged others to do so as well.

In Suturing Wounds, Egyptian artist Sara Sallam presents a series of self-portraits wearing a tunic of antique textile fragments, bearing witness to the 19th-century practice of excavating Byzantine-era cemeteries in Egypt & tearing garments from the dead. On display until 25 Jan. bit.ly/3L6QX0n

"The people most willing to torture and disappear regime opponents are likely to be the ones who were already true believers." The USCG relaxed its standards on hate symbols to accommodate more true believers in the one arm of the US military able to conduct civilian law enforcement.

The Dude abides. 😏

This guy needs to give the Democrats' response to the State of the Nation. Sincerity. Conviction. Experience.

Beautiful Romanesque sculptural group in the church of Roda de Isabena'. Huesca.✝️

oldhead advice from an oldhead. every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown" and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work gotta build for long term

North Atlantic right whales are having an encouraging season for births, with 15 calves born so far. But scientists warn that the critically endangered species needs 50 calves a year. apnews.com/article/righ...

The essence of feral cunning.

"Thomson said the two tribes were "apparently pretty civilised", adding that raiding, robbery or murder were less likely reasons for the Corieltauvi gold to wind up in Parisi territory. "It is more than likely evidence of trading between the two," she said."

What it tells us is that we're a failed state.

Mutha🤬ing murderers.

These 🍑holes think "Florida Man" is a complement. 😒

The company we keep.

“The U.S. government is concerned first and foremost with spectacle, engaging in both fan service for its most extreme supporters and the constant trolling of its enemies.” Government cosplay by desperately unserious people.

Does anyone actually believe anything that comes out of Marco Rubio's piehole?

Now here it is, your moment of zen.

MAGA loves waving their 🍆 dicks around then getting handed their 🍑es. Must be some weird fetish thing for them. 🤔

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

I love that Vaughn Bodē's art still speaks to young artists. #UndergroundComix

#ImpeachBondi No half-measures.

Here's another absolute shredder I'd recommend catching live!

Never forget. 🇺🇸

They make up 💩 that sounds scary for their Fox and CNN hits, but the real lawyers know it won't hold up in a courtroom.

"Spittle-flecked" is the prefect descriptor for any words that escape Stephen Miller's hate-filled brain.
