Our tax dollars and veto power in the UN prop up this regime

This just about sums up the current government of Israel www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

The Senate has voted to join the House in sacrificing one of America's wilderness jewels, the BWCAW, so a Chilean billionaire can get richer by mining American copper for export to China. Copper sulfide mining is usually done only in arid areas due to the sulfuric acid created when exposed to water

“I was standing in front of my parked car on I-684 cutting the penis out of a road killed raccoon, thinking about how weird some of my family members turned out to be” - RFK Jr Photo credit: Stefani Reynolds/Bloomberg/Getty Images

Nolan McLean has absolutely filthy stuff. This overlay shows the opposite movement of 2 of his 6 pitches he throws. The other 4 show impressive horizontal and/or vertical movement as well. The looks he gets from batters is hilarious. He is why I bought the MLBTV package. x.com/PitchingNinj...

Imagine being peeved that the leader of the Roman Catholic Church preaches the gospel of peace, one of the foundational principles of the Church. Now imagine a fairly recent convert to Catholicism being one of those aggrieved by this notion of peace. Was he asleep during his catechism lessons?

We need a 21st century Theodore Roosevelt to come in and do some serious trust-busting

Book burners freaked out about a book that features a red oak, a monoecious tree. Turns out Mother Nature is way too woke for these fundamentalist proponents of theocracy. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Happy Confederate Surrender Day!

Dear Pamela Jo Bondi: No longer being the head of the DoJ does not absolve you of responsibility for actions and inaction that occurred when you were the head of DoJ. Dear Assistant Attorney General Pat Davis: In re Ms Bondi's testimony, please see above. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Orange cats are a whole vibe. 🥰😂🤣

So now the mad King of Corruption has kicked it up a notch: going from committing war crimes and threatening to commit more war crimes to also threatening to commit crimes against humanity as well. Congressional Repugnants and his Cabinet are complicit in this. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

This is nuts. Jo Adell robs three home runs in a single game to save the day for the Angels, who went on to win 1-0 (thanks to a leadoff homer by Zach Neto to start the game ) www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/a...

So committing war crimes and threatening to commit war crimes are now standard operating procedure for the maladministration of the mad King of Corruption? How lovely; it is a great time to be a proud American

Today's new(ish) alt/indie pop/rock featured album comes from The Julies. If you're looking for a modern homage to 90s Britpop, or even if you're not, give 'em a listen thejulies.bandcamp.com/album/cheris...

In re the Repugnant Party's vote suppression campaign: The burden of proof should be on the state to prove a voter ineligible before removing them from the voter rolls, not on the voter to prove themselves eligible to remain on the rolls. Fuck DeSantis and his minions, and everyone of their ilk.

A legal resident, married to a US citizen, was illegally imprisoned, along with her 7-year-old daughter, for 19 days by Ice. CBP and Ice are rogue agencies with no hope of being reformed. They must be dismantled and rebuilt from scratch. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

“While states like California and New York flood their voter rolls with illegal aliens...": Bald-faced lie by governor of MS. Maga minions believe this shit. I've been voting since 1980 but FL is going to kick me off the voter roll unless I appease them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It bears repeating: the mad King of Corruption's illegal war of choice would have no flimsy justification for existing if Dear Leader hadn't torn up the deal we had in place simply because Obama had something to do with it. newrepublic.com/article/2082... via @newrepublic.com

"Probably"? Not exactly going out on a limb here. Per the Constitution, individual states administer elections and the US Congress and the states regulate them. The Executive branch has no role apart from enforcing US law. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Really? No kidding? I suppose next you'll be telling me that rain is wet and the sun rises in the East. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Cosplaying working class Rafael Cruz went to Princeton and Harvard. When he flees his constituents without power, he stays at the Ritz-Carlton. His wife, Heidi, is Managing Director at the fancy investment firm Goldman Sachs. They are not men & women with callouses on their hands. They are elites.

Publicly threatening to commit war crimes isn't such a great look www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

South Korea reacted honorably, as did Brazil. It's still not too late for the cowardly congressional Republicans to do the right thing, for our country and for the world.

The Dept of Justice and the Dept of Defense think it should be illegal for journalists to ask questions. Welcome to Dear Leader's Amerika. You can't make this shit up. theintercept.com/2026/03/26/p...

I think a bat just grazed my head when I was outside taking out the recyclables and checking the mailbox. Felt something brush the side of my head, looked up, and saw a little bat flying in circles about 15-20 feet above me

Bianco's statutory authority to seize ballots and conduct his own count is tenuous at best, as election administration is governed by state and local election officials, not county sheriffs. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

California's Democratic party needs to get its shit together and fast. Thanks to the state's "top two" open primary in June, one of these two shitheels could be elected California's next governor in November. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

World record 9 World Cup wins in a single discipline this season. Shiffrin has been otherworldly in the slalom in 2025-2026, building massive leads in her first runs with margins that would be huge totals over both runs. www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/m...

From the Eastshade video game: I liked this view so much I painted it even though it wasn't a commissioned piece or part of a quest. View from the bottom of the Tiffmoor Gorge, at the landward entrance to the Howling Caverns. The trek from the seaward entrance of the cavern was pretty cool as well

Sure, this maladministration won't do anything about it, but this sure sounds like a violation of campaign financing laws. newrepublic.com/post/208034/... via @newrepublic.com

I know one shouldn't judge a book by its cover but damn. To borrow a phrase loved by the mad King of Corruption, this guy looks like he's straight out of central casting... for a role as a mob boss. He's gotta have a nickname like Paulie Walnuts newrepublic.com/post/208037/... via @newrepublic.com

To those who continue to insist we aren't living under an authoritarian regime, here is yet another piece of evidence. And Ms. Sullivan? The Treasury Secretary has no authority to overrule federal law. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

“A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.” -Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of Independence The days of the mad King of Corruption and his maladministration are numbered.

Happy Epstein Files Transparency Act due date quarter anniversary! The complete Epstein files, with redactions only to protect the identities of the victims, were due 3 months ago, as demanded by federal statute. Pamela Jo is being removed next. Prosecutions forthcoming.

Golly, there's almost a pattern evolving around numerous state and federal investigations being shut down or impeded by the mad King of Corruption, going back to his first maladministration. I wonder why that might be?
