It's not hard to catch fish sustainably - if you don't catch them all, and don't destroy their habitat, they reproduce Yet industrial fisheries seem determined to destroy themselves, and governments keen to let them This shouldn't be left to consumers

Just a reminder to Congress: Any time you send soldiers to another country to start bombing shit and shooting at shit and killing the people of that country, THAT IS A WAR. If your President is DOING WAR without Congressional Approval, THAT IS A CRIME AND HE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE.

I don’t think people around the world realize how bad the attack on Lebanon was today. It’s BAD. Like 9/11 BAD. Hospitals are overflowing and do not have enough blood. We still don’t know what the death toll is. This is TERRORISM. Pure and Simple. April 8. Never forget.

Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day.

oh shit!!!! Mark Levin and Laura Loomer are upset with lardass over the no deal-deal he agreed to!

From a post: “Told my wife to have dinner ready by 6 or I'll obliterate her entire civilization. So anyway, she now charges me a fee to use the bathroom that used to be free, and I didn't get any dinner, but I'm pretty sure I won that exchange.”

“I’m ready to meet Putin - but not in Moscow and not in Kyiv. The location could be somewhere in the Middle East, Europe, or the United States,” Zelenskyy said. 

The truest thing I’ve read today….🤣

What the president is doing is batshit crazy.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

Glad you’re finally catching up to what we all have know for a decade.

“You’re not supposed to use your phone while driving.” “Got it. Let’s install large tablet touchscreens in almost every single new car.”

Great Egret once nearly hunted to extinction for its plumes, the species has rebounded, occurring worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. It is ubiquitous across the Sun Belt of the United States and in the Neotropics 📷: Lili Banta #birds

It's absolutely insane that Stephen Colbert is #1 in late night, beating Kimmel by a little and Fallon by a lot And why? The president doesn't like him & the now former owners of CBS wanted their sale of the company to go through. The mob boss presidency.

That's for sure. He is definitely not American citizens first.

It’s almost 6pm EST. Whatever the “cease fire” was supposed to be, it is now OVER because Israel insisted on continuing to murder civilians and steal Lebanese land. IT’S OVER, if it existed at all.

This should be front page news. There should be hearings about it.

Before I became an American, I was Lebanese. Parts of my family live in Lebanon. Anyway, you don't need those bona fides to feel this way, but what is happening in Lebanon right now is a complete outrage. The people there, who mostly are just trying to carve out a living, don't deserve this.

Glad to know the US Congress is out on a vacation and is resting from the strong effort they demonstrated.

Good! But is Pam going to be arrested and put in handcuffs when she doesn't show up???

donald trump needs to be in prison 5 years ago

The United States of America is the ONLY Nation on earth who's citizens are permitted to have guns SPECIFICALLY in order to rise up against an Authoritarian government and yet they choose to do FUCK All 🤔 This is the feeling we have in Europe.

Any POC who supports trump is dumber than the white trash who supports trump because that white trash will step on any POC the first chance they get.

To all the Congresspeople saying they need to come back to end a war, what war? I didn't know y'all had declared war. I thought this was a Strategic Operation or some other bullshit

Prime Minister of Spain Pedro Sánchez: “The Government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket.” 🍿

Going back to Star Trek Picard season 2; it's not a well told story, but man, its explicit point that the Federation/USA is fascist if it lets ICE and tech oligarchs take control and the way to actually build a better future is through exploration, space travel and diversity was on point...

Facts

A Ukrainian cat and dog that were rescued from the front lines. They were evacuated 12 km to safety by drone. Original post

The US is like that neighbor who thinks its ok to buy new cars, boats, ATVs, etc., but not ok to pay for piano lessons, braces, a new mattress, or anything else intangible. It really is ok to use tax revenue to pay for things besides war, war equipment, and bases everywhere in the world.

I think it's only fair that, if the USA is going to insist on affecting all of us every single day, the rest of us should get a vote in their elections.

This mother fucker was never shot. He raped children, His wife fucked Epstein, He started a war to distract from the fact… He’s all over the Epstein Files. And he’s Guilty as Fuck. Did I miss anything?

Absolutely true. Millions of Americans are a disgrace to humanity.

As long as trump is making money, he doesn't care what happens to anyone or anything. Like most christian conservative Republicans I know.

The people who did not vote at all in my opinion. Are worse than the voters who voted for him. They had a major impact in the out come of the '24 election. This is the result.

Congress is completely useless at this point.

Why is there a 25th Amendment? Seems rather silly to have something no one will ever use. (the section of removal, not replacement or temporary (like illness/surgery). Dangit. Y'all created the supposed best system....but...when push comes to shove, y'all back down. (y'all being those in power)

Don’t you know this pissed the taco off!

What a f*cking waste of lives and money. 😠

It's migration season! Monarch butterflies travel over 4,000 km to winter in Mexico's stunning oyamel forests. Witness the beauty of nature's incredible journey.

Wonderful!

The Supreme Court gets all its power and authority from the Constitution If the Constitution doesn't mean anythiing, then the Supreme Court doesn't mean anything. SCOTUS is blowing up the house they live in while they're inside it.

One man put us in this deadly quagmire. One man is wrecking our economy. One man’s immigration agents have terrorized our communities. One man has ridden roughshod over our system of government. We said "No Kings" 250 years ago. Congress must say "No Kings" today. If not, they must be replaced.

You fuckers out there who just couldn’t suck it up for one term and vote for Kamala; was it worth all of this?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I don't know if we can stop the terrible things that are happening. But I do know that we can commit ourselves as individuals and communities and societies to seek justice for as long as it takes.

The Ukrainian Defence Forces will receive modern Tridon Mk2 air defence systems from Sweden, the Ukrainian Defence Ministry reported. As noted by the ministry, these systems will help counter “Shaheds” and other aerial threats.
