This should be posted everywhere until the midterms and then some.

We call ourselves "intelligent," yet the humblest fungus can decompose waste and build soil, a tree can harness solar energy, and a wetland can purify water—all without toxic byproducts. True intelligence is learning from these systems, not bulldozing them.

The United States is going through a severe reality adjustment. For the first time in our nation's history, a political party in power has assumed an enemy position against United States citizens. Our government, has become the enemy of our people. Our citizens are caught off guard. - Catherine -

NEW: Seattle might declare a civil emergency to help LGBTQ (mostly trans) people fleeing red states, so I looked for a Texas angle. An organizer told me that Texas is #1 among trans people looking to relocate: "The baseline hostility to their existence is unbearable." www.chron.com/culture/arti...

I wish I didn’t know as much about the end of Reconstruction as I do. If you understood what is being unleashed now, how it will touch every aspect of our civic life, and how difficult it will be to undo it, you wouldn’t be able to think about anything else.

I know we all know that it’s not hypocrisy, it’s hierarchy, but this really does take the cake.

I realize this is obvious to most but allow me to rant: At the core of Trump's base love for him is a simmering resentment over their mediocrity and gratitude for him making it permissible to be arrogant whilst mediocre. Everything in this cult can be traced back to that. (thread)

In a poll this morning, 40% of Americans still think Trump is mentally fit to be President. The problem isn’t Trump, his cabinet or the GOP. The problem is Americans.

. I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it isn’t a ballroom It’s a bunker so he doesn’t have to leave the White House when his term is up. #CONGRESS!!! Get him out of that house now. .

My conclusions were made seconds after I saw a headline but it's good to know the facts.

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.

I am in shock that American people voted for him, or didn’t bother to vote against him because they didn’t think it would be so bad. They were warned and deserve what they get. Decent people are suffering because of them.

The cabinet won't invoke the 25th. If they do, their promised pardons go up in smoke. The entire country -indeed, the planet- is being held hostage by a madman and his spineless, traitorous sycophants who know they'll spend life behind bars if they don't keep him propped up and appeased.

This blurb was posted on Facebook yesterday that changed my perception of the argument "Not all men."

Mamdani is making socialism palatable BECAUSE IT IS! He’s putting it out there, not hiding it behind ‘acceptable sounding’ policies Socialism is NOT communism It’s time Capitalism has been a massive failure,ruined by greedy corporations+ individuals who have abandoned society

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth quoted a violent and fictional Bible passage nearly word-for-word from Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction in his Wednesday night worship service at the Pentagon.

Keep it up, Mehdi!! He’s one of the best educated debaters…👏👏👏

They watch a genocide occur in Gaza and they say nothing. They watch people die in southern Lebanon and they say nothing. But see an AI generated image of their dear leader thinking he’s Jesus … that’s just too far.

I will always find it confusing that some people think a person riding a $2000 bike to commute is a privileged elitist but the guy in the $80k truck that costs $150 to fill is the working class average joe.

Perhaps the American Congress could do us all a favour and spell out what behaviours they would impeach Trump for because frankly most of us feel there’s nothing left. I’d be interested to know exactly what depravity they are waiting for.

He couldn't have placed thus on such a silver platter if he tried.

Just to take a break from being in a totally overwhelming panic attack, let me share what I have been occupying my mind on: Monarch, The Tale of a Journey. My first mixed media piece.

AN ALCOHOLIC TV TALKING HEAD RUNS OUR MILITARY, A FORMER HEROIN ADDICT IS IN CHARGE OF OUR HEALTH, AND THEY BOTH REPORT TO A CONVICTED FELON. SO HOW'S YOUR DAY GOING?

ActBlue donors can request refunds if they donated to Swalwell’s campaign. Pass it on.

Let today in Hungary be a warmup for what we can do, for what we can have.

Why is that felon still in the White House?!?!?

Listen up: I am one of those rare sex assault victims who actually took the guy who did it to court. It was a local scandal that put my initials on the front page of the local paper (not my whole name because I was a minor). You have no idea what happens to women on the stand or in the press.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has signed a decree establishing Universal Healthcare for all Mexican citizens. The United States could’ve had this, but people chose economic collapse, cruelty and death instead. I’ll never regret voting for Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris.

He does love to bury women in golf courses...🤔

Iran dropped a new vid Trolling Donald J Shitler Trump and his admin and tell him THEY SAW IT ALL IN THE EPSTEIN FILES. (snip0 What Shitler did with children. 😡 And that Shilter is Stealing from the American ppl.

Breaking: Trump orders the dismantling of the US Forest Service. All regional offices are being shut down and the research program destroyed.

Donald Trump has done more damage to the United States of America than any foreign enemy accomplished in our nation’s 250-year history.

Lack of accountability is how you end up where we are now.

The president of the United States is a mentally deteriorating sociopathic terrorist.

Israeli Channel 13 has launched a live countdown for Trump’s deadline on Iran, as if it were a New Year’s Eve celebration.

The Vice President is abroad campaigning for a dictator. The President is threatening to wipe out an entire civilization. Congress is on recess. This is a total collapse of American moral leadership — at a historic scale.

Can't tell you how many members of Congress who *at best* had nothing to say when I asked about the Minab girls school attack. There is a profanely cold detachment inside Capitol Hill, a mode completely unrecognizable to common human decency I wish I could properly convey to you.

Tucker Carlson: "It's vile. It begins w/ a promise to use the US military to commit a war crime. Those people who are in direct contact w/ the president need to say 'No. I'll resign. I'll do whatever I can do legally to stop this, bc this is insane. And if given the order, I'm not carrying it out'"

While Trump's assertion that "a whole civilization will die tonight" represents a discrete threat of genocide against Iran, the fact that it comes from a U.S. president, while Congress does nothing, actually represents a broader civilizational collapse — whether he follows through or not.

Trump has lost Alex Jones who is calling for the 25th Amendment and Tucker made a break with him yesterday. Those are two big cracks in MAGA.

There’s a lot of truth to this.

Trump cannot stop hyperbolizing. Every. Fucking. Sentence. He is fixated on the belief that superlatives, graphic threats, and blustery exaggeration make him look strong and grandiose, which he badly craves. He is color blind and tone deaf to how it really makes him look to a non-cultified world.
