I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Oh hey — you know that big Chicago raid where Stephen Miller said the building was “FILLED” with gang members? @propublica found 0 evidence of Tren De Aragua, the men weren’t charged with any crimes. 🤔 (sound familiar Tennessee?) All for show. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

While Trump murders people on boats for supposedly trafficking drugs, Jonathan Braun, a convicted drug trafficker serving a 10 year sentence he pardoned in 2021, will be sentenced in court today after he sexually assaulted a woman after Trump freed him from prison.

Stanford University has apparently removed its land acknowledgment from campus-wide events. Native students have created a petition to have it reinstated. Learn more here: c.org/wxV5SxCtm2

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

And any other former game show host carrying them out would have been in custody already.

"No, you see, you don't understand governance-- we're holding the food hostage until we can take away your healthcare, duh!"

The US has respected a moratorium on testing nuclear weapons for 33 years. It's been 35 years for Russia. Trump wants to start exploding them again. Where did he have in mind? Nevada? The South Pacific? Trump and the new arms race. But no food aid or health care for Americans.

As the single most important news story this year, I can't wait to see the detailed and central coverage this will get in every media outlet we have

ROLLING STONE: “The current Congress has dropped the pretense of public service altogether… Congress enjoys ultraluxe health care as it fights to gut yours.” @RepTimBurchett @MarshaBlackburn why don’t you care about anyone but yourselves? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Let them eat cake. An utter failure of the US government.

No words.

Trump is knocking down the entirety of the East Wing. The King is mad.

ICE is now the 13th largest military in the world on its own. Never ever accept the lie we cannot pay for Universal Healthcare.

Here’s the way to think about climate change that I learned from @drkatemarvel.bsky.social: We’re creating an increasingly chaotic and dangerous world, sending our children and grandchildren there, and they’re never coming back.

Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

People are buying more clothes, but they don’t stay in closets for long. This fuels overproduction and waste. An easy fix? Wear them longer. The planet will thank you! More tips on #BeatWastePollution: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

If Antifa were a real group, you’d be able to buy merch.

This isn't "just" Shaheds on Poland It's jamming v/d Leyen and German general's planes It's bombing the EU HQ in Kyiv It's bombing Ukr civilians every day and night with 800+ drones and missiles AND THIS IS JUST LAST WEEK.

“Climate change, for impacting the quality of your life, is not incredibly important,” Mr. Wright said. “In fact, if it wasn’t in the news, in the media, you wouldn’t know.” lol I just wrote about how climate change has gotten to the point where everyone can see for themselves that it’s real.

I think that since the overwhelming majority of mass shooters are cisgender men, we should take their guns first.

Mind-blowing stats from Oxfam on the impacts from clothes that are bought and rarely, if ever, worn. www.businessgreen.com/news/4518290...

This firefighter arrived in the US at age 4, has been here for 19 years, was on track to legal status, and was on a crew trying to contain a major blaze (in Washington state, vs Oregon, fwiw.) h/t @joshuajfriedman.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The last 3 years have been the hottest in around 125,000 years. CO2 levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years. But most people have no idea this is happening, let alone what it means for our kids’ futures. Our politics & media have failed our children. We should be furious.

My favorite evergreen Molly Ivins quote: "I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag."

I know this is not a unique observation but public health was basically created to deal with the Spanish flu, and then a century later COVID hit and killed twice as many people and our response was to destroy public health

Oh snap! So true.

[FOUNDER'S BRIEF - @rhettayersbutler.bsky.social] Mountains of smoking waste sprawl across the Dandora dump in Nairobi, Kenya. Among the refuse are remnants of fast-fashion - fabrics with synthetic fibers which fragment into microplastics laced with toxins which seep into soil, water and air.

Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about “safety.” They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.

A spectacular sight 1225m (4019 ft) beneath the waves off Baja California as EVNautilus encounter the amazing Halitrephes maasi jelly.

Fuck Trump. Fuck these fascists.

Plastic pollution: Global action is desperately needed to deal with this scourge www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

As a transportation archaeologist, I've been wanting to read this one for a while now.

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.

Turn off the tv, your computer, tablet, whatever. Turn on the wireless, find some nice calming tunes. Get glue, scissors, clear the table and go make a car. You can download the original paper model here: www.flickr.com/photos/taffe...

Absolutely surreal to watch White House reporters ask Leavitt questions about tariffs moments after she and Gabbard used this briefing to baselessly accuse Obama of crimes punishable by death. We’re a sick joke of a country.
