President Volodymyr Zelensky has been formally nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. Hide the ketchup.

@chasingray.bsky.social is my go-to source for aviation information and should be yours as well. If you’re curious about what happened at LaGuardia the other day, she breaks it down here in a clear and, for those of us with limited knowledge of the field, understandable narrative.

The Pitchbot has taken a cue from the Onion and ceased being a satire site. It’s just factual reporting now.

the government is saying “underage girls are testing positive for pregnancy at ICE detention centers” instead of saying “ICE agents are raping & impregnating underage girls.”

What she says…

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

BREAKING: Bruce Springsteen just announced that his band will be doing a tour in effort to fight back against Donald Trump's authoritarian overreach. The Boss is back! Great. Bring down the ICE

Gupta: If we’re making choices, we’re making a clear choice right now about how to spend $200 billion over three months. That money could very easily be repurposed to fund a public option and provide healthcare to everyone in the United States who needs it for years.

When you’re being scrutinized for your anger issues at your own DHS confirmation hearing, maybe that’s a sign. Let’s hope Mullin can keep calm during a real crisis.

All. So. Gross.

It’s time to make Citizens United history. Montana — and now California — can lead the way. Here's how. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-california-can-neuter-citizens

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.

FROST: We asked Pam Bondi multiple times, are you going to come and speak with us under oath? She would not say yes. We want her under oath because we do not trust her. Why don't we trust her? Because she's a liar.

If you want to understand Trump, understand that he is nothing but ego. Think of every stupid or nasty thing you've ever done out of selfishness, defensiveness, or the need for approval. Imagine those same traits preventing you from regretting or learning from those things. That's Trump.

We fight on together! In cities, states, and nationally. Our democracy is under threat. But we will not yield to fascism. We will fight back to defend our rights, communities, and the values we hold dear. Join us. indivisible.org/groups please repost

As is so often the case, the Onion tells the truth while the mainstream media tiptoes around it.

You know it's been bad when even Ned Rozell starts complaining.

Good.

A ray of light in an age of medieval darkness.

Ben Meiselas on The MeidasTouch Podcast winning the iHeartPodcast Award: “When we see injustice, we call it out with moral clarity. We’re not afraid to call out fascism when we see it. When we see ICE and Border Patrol on our streets killing our people, we call it out.“

And to think that June 20, 1979, President Carter had #solarpanels installed ON THE WHITE HOUSE — which Reagan (who stole the election via delayed hostage-release) later removed. YES. IMAGINE where we'd be if oil whores 🤑 weren't our influenceable leaders. Sorry, earth 🌎 [ bit.ly/DotConnecting ]

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.
