1/10 So the fake claims of "trans" and "antifa" symbols comes from both ammo stamps and casing inscriptions wrongly reported. They try to paint Tyler as left, but like Crooks this is a fringe right wing Groyper. Here's the details on registered Republican, Tyler Robinson: x.com/adamscochra...

This is why companies need to import skilled workers from places like South Korea. apnews.com/article/naep...

In today’s episode of What Are They Thinking: “If you don’t see a hurricane coming… does it really exist?” 🚨 The Dept of Defense is shutting down its weather satellite program. No more data. No more updates. Meteorologists are scrambling—and we’re heading into peak storm season. Brilliant timing.

The first tomatoes I've ever grown. First "harvest" of the season.

Congrats! We need more progressives in power.

Thank you to everyone who took to the streets for No Kings today. Who said “no” to fascism. To hatred. To bigotry. To policies rooted in division and cruelty. To my fellow disabled people who couldn’t attend in person, please don’t feel guilty. There’s plenty of ways we can help the fight!

If you’re documenting the ICE atrocities, make sure to back up your data. Don’t assume it’s safe in the cloud or on social media. Keep a copy (or multiple copies). I also strongly recommend journaling what you witnessed by hand if possible. Tell your story. The world is watching.

Breaking: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran "has been suspended pending further evaluation." This since-deleted tweet is the reason for the suspension:

Ahem.

“You can’t make this up.” - Marsha, making it up

So is American major media just going to pretend that Donald Trump and his venal band of brigands didn't just spend the last five years of this space-time continuum daily accusing Joe Biden of taking bribes from a foreign country—something Trump just PUBLICLY did to the tune of $400 MILLION DOLLARS?

The Constitution disagrees. The Emoluments Clause, part of Article I, Section 9, Clause 8, bans office holders from taking ANY gifts from foreign countries. There is no mention of quid pro quo. That is because the Founding Fathers knew that even the *appearance* of corruption promotes corruption.

So many layers of corruption.

Disgusting. Our racist quota is full, tyvm.

If South Africa is a sovereign nation, how are we able to send our own planes we paid for to transport white Afrikaners to the U.S., but simultaneously unable to send a plane to return Abrego Garcia et al?

I feel called out.

In a time of aggressive immigration enforcement, some international musicians are deciding that going through the complicated process of getting a U.S. artist visa may not be worth the financial and safety risks.

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated. “Only very sick kids should die from measles.” No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die. Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!

Don't you miss the first term when he wasn't surrounded by ONLY toady loyalists telling him what a genius he is 24/7? I mean yes, there were plenty of ass-kissy toads then, and it was incompetent and corrupt, but it's even worse now because it's a full house of ass-licking toads.

The “covid is only a threat to the vulnerable” narrative primed the pump for the eugenics movement we’re seeing now. It conditioned people to see the disabled & vulnerable as acceptable losses. People who were probably going to “die anyways”. It paved the way for fascism.

It's only fascism if it's Fascismo DOP produced in Italy to Mussolini's original recipe. Otherwise, it's just right wing authoritarianism. Just as evil and with exactly the same terrible effects, but technically slightly different.

Anyone serious about raising birth rates knows it is a longterm proposition at best. So one way you can tell if someone is serious is their attitude toward climate change. If you're not fixing climate change you don't care about birth rates, you care about patriarchal politics.

Daily bunny no.2944 got here just in time!

And there you have it.

The Trump administration has agreed to pay the family of Ashli Babbitt. American taxpayers will now be forced to give likely millions of dollars to the family of a January 6 insurrectionist who stormed the Capitol.

Good job, Australia!

Indoctrination.

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

Good for the oligarchs.

Hmm.

I got lots of advice, some very specific. But one thing I heard again and again: America, you are running out of time. Here is what I learned: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

So the White House wants to pay women $5,000 to have a baby, which doesn’t even cover the doctor’s fee, with the potential of being charged with murder if they have a miscarriage. Did I get that right?

It isn't that America lacks courage. It's that we’ve become so cut off from one another that many of us feel alone, which makes us feel afraid. But when we are surrounded by courageous people, all of us become more courageous.  Courage is contagious.
