Trump's second childhood is marked by violence, anger, invasions and polyurethane doo-dads from Taiwan coated with gold paint and glued to the wall. It's a common enough thing... among the criminally insane. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The president’s mental health is a global crisis.

Research reveals how much harm regular, low level spills of oil + chemicals around pipelines + rigs can cause wildlife, including whales+ dolphins who can endure: - lung lesions - liver damage - reduced ability to produce offspring Report by @oceanauk.bsky.social uk.oceana.org/reports/sea-...

Marco Rubio is denying visas to tech researchers because free speech. (Seriously!) We sued over this idiotic and unconstitutional policy on behalf of @thecoalition.bsky.social, and tomorrow my colleague @carriedecell.bsky.social will argue the case before Judge Boasberg. www.npr.org/2026/03/09/n...

New in PN: Farmers are rightfully pissed at Trump "Trump put in place senseless policies that devastated farmers. As a result, rural communities have lost faith in Trump & begun to realize, belatedly, that he hates them, as he hates anyone who fails to lick his boots as he kicks them in the face."

You can listen to the full discussion here. As we note, the more Trump's mental decline visibly accelerates, the worse his aides' sycophancy gets. They're becoming like an end-stage cult: newrepublic.com/article/2102...

Musk and Cook are not the only ones joining Trump on his trip to Beijing. Executives from other companies, including Boeing, Goldman Sachs, Blackstone, BlackRock, and Meta, are joing as well. One notable absence from the group is Nvidia’s Jensen Huang. They depart later today.

"One study found that increasing the number of people who receive SNAP benefits by 5 percent could have prevented nearly 32,000 suicides over 15 years. And a $1 increase in minimum wage has been linked to roughly 8,000 fewer suicide deaths over a decade."

172 reports of sexual abuse and assault at the Tacoma’s Northwest ICE Detention Center. And instead of accountability, survivors were met with failed investigations, ignored evidence, and a system that protects private prisons over human lives.

Version 4. Spanish case added. Latest version pinned to the top of my timeline.

The FDA has authorized the first fruit-flavored vapes for adults. The approval came just hours after Trump reportedly pressed the FDA Commissioner to greenlight flavored vapes. Trump's inaugural committee took over $3 million million from vape industry special interests.

A Michigan town board and its planning commission both rejected the largest data center in the state. Now it's being built anyway. In Saline Township, Michigan, a giant $16 billion OpenAI-Oracle data center was deeply unpopular, but that ultimately didn't matter. /1

590,000 people paid $59 million for the Trump gold phone. A year later, not a single one has shipped. No one has received a phone. The original release date was August, 2025. Now all info about the release date has been removed from the website.

The U.S. Forest Service isn’t managing forests anymore. It’s running a timber operation and poisoning everything else to do it. A yearlong investigation by Mother Jones found that the Forest Service and private logging companies are systematically spraying thousands of

This is what “multiple use management” looks like when timber wins every time. Ecological health, wildlife habitat, native plant communities all of it gets written off as competition. Link: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

People who get Social Security and Medicare from the government are not getting "entitlements"—they are getting the money they gave the government back. Unlike when Elon Musk got at least $38 billion from the government in contracts, loans, subsidies, and tax credits over the past two decades.

McConnell denied Garland a vote nine months out under the guise that there was an election soon and then jammed through Coney Barrett a week before Biden won. They have been flipping the bird to the concepts of norms and fairness for decades and the democrats have done jack shit to fight back.

The best party of the year. That's Mexico. Voices From Both Sides. Trump wants a wall through this ancient crossing. Does this look like a crisis? No. It's a cooperative culture of Mexicans and Texans.

FUCK OZ and the curtain he's hiding behind!!

Magic Johnson, a Los Angeles legend & icon (who actually lives in LA unlike Rick Grenell), points out that the homelessness rate continues to decrease and so does the homicide rate under Mayor Karen Bass. Affordable housing units are up w 40K new homes approved last wk. #TeamMagic

Worth a read. From @kevinmkruse.bsky.social

Ripshit mad that he says "underbabied" means you have "no children or less children than you would want" while he quotes the replacement rate for whites, not the overall population, while surrounded by a bunch of white people and one woman in red who appears to be actively channeling a Handmaid.

important thing to note here is dr oz cites a current american replacement rate of 1.5, which is not true. the american replacement level in 2025 was 1.79. interestingly, the white replacement rate is in fact at 1.5 though

I'm prepping pots for spring plants, most of the large ones are filled with clover from overwintering. Instead of stripping them, I thought "I wonder if the geese would oblige" and I took them a pot this morning. To my delight, it's been stripped to bare dirt. Nice job, geese!

You can’t “rededicate” a nation that was never dedicated to a god in the first place. The Constitution is explicitly secular — by design.

Chicago teen battling terminal cancer dies hours after reuniting with parents An 18-year-old Chicago resident battling terminal cancer has died, just one day after being reunited with his parents following their release from U.S. immigration custody.

ICE is not an isolated problem as thanks to widespread expansion of 287(g) agreements, their fervent use of brutality for civil enforcement is being gleefully carried by local police departments. Abolition and true justice needs to look beyond just DHS agents.

The trucking industry is struggling amid Fox-endorsed Trump administration actions that have caused diesel prices to skyrocket, forced hundreds of thousands of truckers off the road, and increased the cost of trucks and replacement parts.

new zealander everlee wihongi was due to meet with her lawyer yesterday. then ICE moved her to their most notorious tent facility in texas: 3000 people, highest death rate, most sexual assaults. and today, she disappeared off the system. please RT: www.webworm.co/everleehasdi...

This is wonderful. Woven with the present moments of being a mom, expanding through the poignancy of growing up, into the pain of looking at a daughter whose rights are less than yours, less than your son's. An affirmation of motherhood as it sits on our shoulders today and the fight for our kids.

To the people out there who struggle on this day, for whatever reason, I see you. You don’t have to share anything for me to see you. I already do. Your experiences are real.

She is running in the state's jungle primary to challenge either Rep. Young Kim, who took $705,500 in corporate PAC money in 2024, or Rep. Kevin Calvert, who took $777,300 in corporate PAC money in 2024.

Honored to earn the endorsement of @nwpc.bsky.social ! It’s shameful that the fight to protect our reproductive freedoms is still ongoing in America, but I’m here for it and I’ll never waver.

This is the LAST MAGA seat in Southern California. We can retire two of the most corrupt incumbents in Congress AT ONCE. But four other Democrats below 6% are Jill Stein-ing the race. Refusing to drop out. Splitting the Dem vote. Handing the seat to two MAGA incumbents.

This is a seriously incredible candidate. Let's all do what we can to get her over the finish line in CA-40!!

If you know any of the other Dems in CA40, please ask them to drop out before June 2. Don’t hand Calvert and Kim a free pass to November. Retire 2 GOP for the price of 1. The math only works if Dems unite.

"The withdrawal from Germany is a step toward the liquidation of the shared West—a cultural and human project that was never written into a treaty and, once lost, can never be reacquired."

Why did Trump pardon drug trafficker and Honduran president Juan Hernández? According to leaked audio tapes, it was an initial payment in part of a agreement between Trump, Bibi, and others to take down Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum. english.elpais.com/internationa...
