A pop. lit. piece from the BBC discussing whalefall ecology. Lots of our favorite critters get a mention: hagfish, scale worms, snot flower worms, amphipods We’re constantly surprised': The strange deep-sea creatures that eat whales share.google/amJpU2HEyDqs...

Starmer: "We will not be drawn into the wider war ... we cannot allow the war in the Gulf to turn into a windfall for Putin"

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.

The Trump fund that capitulating media outlets paid their settlements to has been dissolved and it is unclear where the money went. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them. It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.

Ted Lieu: “A foreign hacker likely has the Epstein Files — the best way to prevent blackmail of government officials, such as Trump & Howard Lutnick, would be for AG Pam Bondi to stop the cover up & release all the Epstein Files as required by law”

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after. It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

Apple continues to embarrass itself and us with this kowtowing to a rapist pedophile. I am so mad at Tim “Apple” for what he has done to Steve Jobs’ company.

I’ve seen a fair share of drag in my life, but I just got to see Kennedy Davenport perform - and it was the best live drag performance I’ve ever seen.

"Don't Forget Gaza and the Palestinians" "Israel is using the illegal war on Iran to continue to kill and starve Gaza, steal more Palestinian land, and restrict movement in the West Bank, writes Diana Buttu for Zeteo. "Don't look away."

Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.

Three news reports over the weekend show we are nowhere near the end of what the Epstein files still can reveal. Key details from a victim corroborated, a cover-up in plain sight, and sketchy cash payments all raise big questions. My write-up in the replies.

When the government tells you we can’t afford healthcare or schooling. Ask them how much we spent on the Iran war in the last week.

We suck at fighting AI psychosis because we live in a world where everything non AI … Still venerates interacting with depersonalized forces that have no accountability to “lesser beings” And people don’t actually want the affected to not believe that …. They want it to not bother THEM

Feb 13 — White House on Noem, in a statement: “The President continues to have full confidence in the Secretary.” Mar 6 — White House on Bondi, in a statement: “The President has full faith in the Attorney General.” Start the clock.

Sharing in case you missed @whitehouse.senate.gov’s AMAZING 48 minute speech on the floor of the Senate. The best use of 48 minutes and it puts the ball in House Oversight Committee’s court with regards to the upcoming Pam Bondi hearing. www.youtube.com/live/ylvTFvJ...

AOC: “That’s one reason he must be removed from office - if the Epstein files have such a hold on Trump & this admin that they are willing to plunge us & risk world war in order to save themselves politically - that is the definition of someone who cant make objective decisions for the American ppl”

@welch.senate.gov oh I’m sorry - we must not know the same Markwayne Mullin. He is honest? Stop lying to us. Do not confirm a single appointee by the sitting 34x convicted felon.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000 miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

The Trump regime has abandoned the constitution: - declared war without Congressional authorization - ignoring multiple court orders - impounding Congressional authorized funds - ignoring the freedom of speech and assembly It’s a lawless regime that has no legitimacy.

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

@fetterman.senate.gov time for you to resign. What in the WORLD were you thinking?! What a racist jerk. You now belong to the GOP. Bye.

NOEM: Our federal detention centers are held to the highest standards in comparison to other detaining facilities McBATH: Did you just hear me? He has to crawl through mold and feces and bodily fluids just to take a shower. This is absolute lunacy and you know it.

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred Gov DeSantis from designating CAIR as a terrorist organization and punish those who associate with the group. “Once again, Florida chooses political posturing over the First Amendment,” Judge Walker writes. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Moskowitz: I want to end on a happy note. I got you a new Coast Guard blankie, the one you lost.

Good news! The Virginia Supreme Court ruled Wednesday, for the second time, that voters can decide whether the state can redraw its congressional map — clearing the way for a referendum that, if successful, could help counter GOP gerrymanders nationwide. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks. They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors. Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption. Watch how they vote this week.

BREAKING: The DOJ has been taking down certain Epstein file documents, per CBS News.

I absolutely believe the rumors of the troops being told that Jesus hand-picked the 34x convicted felon to lead a holy war. Especially after the alleged “assassination attempt” in Butler, PA. The cult machine has been actively trying to make him into a golden calf.

Look forward to more voting fuckery in the fascist state of Texas.

More of this, please

Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., says there's a "troubling pattern" of the Trump administration launching military operations — from Venezuela to Nigeria and to Iran — without involving Congress. https://to.pbs.org/4crsaQn

“Gas is under $2!!!” - Pam Bondi, aggressively deflecting an answer

Crow: "Friday night, Trump filmed this tough video where he talked about the cost of war & how hard it's gonna be & how we're gonna lose troops, then he literally went behind the curtain & hosted a million dollar a plate dinner & dance party at Mar-a-Lago. That tells you everything you need to know"

The ugly truth is that to fight BIG F fascism folks have to fight the Little f fascism that they often let permeate their whole lives

Alex's mom on his 38th birthday.

It’s 11:16 CT on 3/2 - have articles of impeachment been introduced yet? Why not?

Absolutely ZERO DOLLARS to DHS until the trump regime has been kicked to the curb/Fed Pen.

If we want what we had in 2020 - actual racial reconciliation has to be centered - direct challenge and protest of the billionaires has to happen -everyone get comfy with disliking and distancing from celebrities and entire sectors.

Linking absences to future failures as though it's the absences that caused the failures rather than an external factor causing both, is not a logical thing to do. This is a good example of why relying on statistics alone will never give you a full picture. www.thejournal.ie/absences-of-...
