American Lung Association report comes amid Trump EPA’s expansive rollback of environmental protections

New Portland Trail Blazers owner Tom Dundon is all over the news as details come out of all the penny-pinching he's done since taking over the NBA team. This probably won't come as a surprise to folks familiar with how Dundon amassed his wealth from sketchy subprime auto loans:

. Joe Rogan also "regretted his support for Trump" like Tucker Carlson and then Joe was at the White House with the orange turd a few days ago. So, in conclusion fuck both of them. .

15% of fossil fuels extracted each year are used to make fertiliser, run farms, process foods and transport them. In a very real sense our food is made from oil and gas. We are about to feel a very painful food shock. 1/

1/ Here's the trick about modern propaganda. It's not better arguments winning. It's better logistics. When the same claim hits you from dozens of accounts at once, your brain reads it as reality. Coordination beats content, every single time. Here's how #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

I so thoroughly agree with this post from @jeetheer.bsky.social www.thenation.com/article/poli...

A reminder that Don Jr.’s brother, Eric Trump, invoked the Fifth Amendment over 500 times in 2020 during his testimony in the New York Attorney General’s civil fraud investigation into Trump Org’s finances. His dad, Donald Trump, invoked the 5th more than 400 times during his deposition.

Feels like what's happened over the past decades is the unholy alliance of capitalists and religious fundamentalists have realized that the more people are immiserated, the more susceptible they become to reactionary ideas. Factions who shouldn't be allies find out they have perfect symbiosis.

Anti-abortion extremists in Texas are using the courts to take aim at abortion pills. But they keep relying on plaintiffs who turn out to be controlling, manipulative, and abusive.

A reminder:

Of the total US casualties during WW:I, nearly half died of the Spanish Flu. Trump's DUI hire is trying to kill more American soldiers and weaken our military in the face of Russin invasion of Europe and an emboldened China. nps.gov/articles/inf...

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday announced an end to the mandatory flu vaccine for all service members, citing a need to restore “medical autonomy.” www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

Let’s not forget the GOP wants to outlaw casual sex. They want every screw to be about a baby and that's the only reason for engaging the docking protocol. No abortions, no contraception, no premarital sex, no fun. No sex unless they approve of it.

When you learned about the Iran hostage crisis, did they teach you this part? In November 1979, during the crisis, Black hostages and women were released first. Ruhollah Khomeini said they were oppressed in the United States and not part of the power structure, so they weren’t seen as spies.

This graphic shows how successful the JCPOA was, which cost US taxpayers nothing but Obama signed it. Can we please stop electing racist dickwads?

Dyam. Magyar’s coming out swinging.

Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift. Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.

All the talk is of a blue wave in the 2026 Midterms. But Republicans do not need to get more popular to hold the House - they just need to stop enough Democrats voting in key seats. I've done a deep dive in my latest post. christinapagel.substack.com/p/how-republ...

The war on women has never stopped. #USDemocracy #Pinks

(🚨) OK, the time has come. Everyone needs to read the 2020 bestseller Proof of Corruption, in which the man pictured below is a key antagonist trying to steal the 2020 election for Trump. Don't care about the money here, just borrow it from the library.

Here’s an awesome analogy ! 1 out of 10 is very low ball‼️ And most likely 8 out of 10 knew which one was 💩 and never said a word‼️

There have to be consequences.

Running a fascist tech company doesn't mean you're smart or knowledgeable.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Too bad all billionaires don't think like this.

Sad but true.What Trump has torn down in months will take decades to rebuild. If the architects of this destruction are left in power for much longer, they will rebuild only in their image and to their benefit. Americans will live in modern day serfdom, justified by fake Christianity. #Sheshed

There are many reasons why Steve Hilton should never be CA’s Governor—former Fox News host; pandemic antagonist; election denier—but perhaps the most important reason is because the guy on the left is endorsed by the guy on the right. A vote for any Republican is a vote for Trump, especially Hilton.

There's a protest in Burbank, right now against Hilton Hotels for housing ICE FUCK HILTON. Stay somewhere else. Thank you for your attention to this matter 🚫 Hilton.
