This really is something he will never be able to accept because a natural human response to accepting you have caused this much death for no reason involves a cyanide capsule

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

what did dietrich bonhoeffer do that was bad, brandon

Many of the people posting "Leave X now!🤡" are Tesla drivers. Many of the US government scientists laid off by DOGE are Tesla drivers. You can't fight your own wallet. He was only able to ascend to trillionaire power, because white nationalism is not disqualifying in either US or the UK society.

We sort of "knew" this but now we *know* it. It's just staggeringly grotesque to imagine that much world-warping power, and the compulsion to use it, to punish a child he didn't even parent. This is genuinely comic book super-villain scale bile.

SunZia, the largest renewable energy project ever built in the US, has begun sending wind power from New Mexico to California via an 885 km transmission line. In the month after SunZia came online, California wind generation rose 37% and gas generation fell 35%. buff.ly/i6osGGL #ShareGoodNewsToo

Still hilarious to me that we're basically speed running the Millennium Challenge. Almost beat for beat. Except this time we can't mulligan and reset the simulation to favor the Blue Team. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millenn...

How did I only just discover that Don Jr is marrying the daughter of a prominent Epstein enabler? Her late dad, a banker, wrote Epstein a reference letter calling him "a gentleman of the highest integrity" to help get him tax breaks &… his island. Can’t make this stuff up.

JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person in the Scottish parliament. Absolutely incredible.

We've reached the point where one party has so obliterated the rule of law that everyone else continuing to abide by it will only hasten the end of our democracy. That's a recipe for chaos and violence. It's terrifying, and I don't know what we do about it.

“The dismantling of USAID, according to models from Boston University epidemiologist Brooke Nichols, “has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children,” Gawande wrote.” hsph.harvard.edu/news/usaid-s...

I feel like his skills could have been put to better use at that specific point in time

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

🤔Why is it sadder when a farm owner goes bankrupt because they voted for Trump, than when a farm worker goes bankrupt from medical debt? The farm owners got what they wanted? The US government used to buy their wheat and potatoes and corn, to send to Africa, and their soybeans to send to China.

it is important to emphasize that this was *the point*. this was *intentional*. elon musk is a vicious white supremacist who thinks poor african children ought to die, so that the world can be whiter

518,428 children have died preventable deaths in the year since Musk dismantled USAID, saying, “Time for it to die.”

"Mathematically Impossible" isn't something that means anything to most people but "[person] Defends" is usually a good thing, they're the actor, they're defending something that needs defense, the hed should be "Key Administration Official Confirms White House Doesn't Understand How Math Works"

There’s a slowly growing possibility they just outright collapse their own agricultural sector for no reason

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

Zohran Mamdani on CBS — “Socialist politics can flourish anywhere, because there is only one majority in this country, and that is the working class. It’s time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of what we’re doing, not in the appendix.” America’s Mayor can’t miss.

Exactly one year ago today:

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

This is an important point to remember every time some yahoo politician who wants to defund the NSF reads the title of a grant in dumbstruck tones: "They're studying the venom of Gila monsters? What? Who's *that* for?" All of us, Gomer. It's how science actually works.

The Pope has an opportunity to do the most exquisitely timed excommunication in the history of the Church.

Folks, this is the single highest amount of money any Alaskan politician has ever raised in a single quarter

You know I knew that Door Dash woman looked familiar

This seems a fairly likely explanation of the Iran/Venezuela war. It also explains why we're blockading a blockade. youtu.be/0nt1CgQsgpI?...

Let’s just acknowledge that this kind of attack is foundationally antisemitic at its core

The main thing wrong with the deal that Obama negotiated with Iran, is that a Black guy did it.🤷🏿‍♂️ That's it. When I say that racism is expensive, this is what I mean. I'm not being metaphorical. I mean there is a direct, financial penalty that white people pay for the joy of being racist.

Two recent studies have re-examined risk of birds colliding with rotor blades of wind turbines. Research found that there was not a single collision. "The results from Aberdeen Bay show that modern offshore wind farms can be operated with low risk to wildlife." www.euronews.com/2026/04/11/t...

My friend who did this would wait until her cover was blown, find the guys’ wives in Texas or wherever, and forward them a history of the messages

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

I am not one of those who believes that history repeats, but consider the following from Herodotus: the Oracle at Delphi told the fabulously wealthy King Croesus that if he invaded Persia he would "destroy a great empire." Croesus invaded and lost--the empire he destroyed was his own.

Perhaps the greatest accidental marketing moment in the Universe. #ArtemisII #nutella

"The metric of deciding who is a legitimate target 'in effect counts all military-age males in a strike zone as combatants, according to several administration officials, unless there is explicit intelligence posthumously proving them innocent.'” from an article on US drone policy post-9/11

People don’t wanna put two and two together with what he did to usaid and him putting up those maps of global birthrates and saying white people are being replaced

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

If I converted to, say, Gelug Buddhism, and then the Dali Lama came out in public, on the global stage, and said I was a bad Buddhist and doing it completely wrong, my next step wouldn't be to write a book about my new faith. I would hide in shame for years. But that requires a conscience.

movie about all the world's nations working together to stave off an environmental apocalypse succeeds by completely avoiding politics

I love that people like Thiel and Vance are wading into Catholic waters and the literal Pope and his priests are schooling them on precisely why they're awful human beings who don't understand the fundamental tenets of the system they're espousing. No notes.

Declaring that no quarter will be given is straightforwardly prohibited under international humanitarian law. When done to threaten an adversary, the declaration itself amounts to a war crime. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/u...

WARREN: Has Rubio made any request for transcom to help evacuate Americans out of Middle East? REED: State made a request on Feb 28 & we have provided some assistance W: When we called them yesterday, they said they haven't asked you for assistance. Can you explain that? R: I cannot explain that

The largest payment eliminated by DOGE was $38,468,659 to the American Institutes for Research in the Behavioral Sciences for transition support services to adulthood for disabled children served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The missles in this video cost more than that.

The Trump Administration appears to be trying to recreate the Millennium Challenge in real life. It was the most expensive war simulation ever ($448m). The US completely lost to a made up Gulf State (run by a US commander). So they reset the simulation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millenn...

The richest man in the world is a gutter racist. Mainstream media and institutions treat him as a reasonable person. He is not. He has more resources at his whims than any person in history. And he's wildly, incontrovertibly racist. He and his products should be anathema to every nonracist.

Line 4. An event that relates to Black American history is labeled "DEI". I can't even begin to describe how racist this is.
