The US-Israel war on Iran is a disaster for the climate, according to an analysis that finds it is draining the global carbon budget faster than 84 countries combined.

Been saying it for a year now. And not as a guess, either: almost every single action taken by Trump since January 20, 2025 has in some way, small or large, advanced the causing of ending our democracy. He is not hiding what he plans. For some reason media has just been tepid in reporting on it.

Honestly, Donald Trump is probably more racist than George Wallace ever was. Wallace was an opportunist who embraced racist politics because it played well with his electorate. Trump is a true believer in racism who keeps saying racist things despite the political blowback.

Birds really have a vibe, and this one’s is “would you like to buy my small batch, organic gin?”

Chuck Norris is dead. He was really shitty but Conan playing this clip from Walker Texas Ranger lives rent free in my head forever tbh so there's that.

The thing about news on the radio is that for about $20 you can buy a radio that will last forever and as long as you can plug it in you get the news free over the air. No signing up, no subscriptions, no one knows what you listen to.

The anger I have right now is unreal.

The people who cancelled Jimmy Kimmel after Charlie Kirk's assassination will now control television stations that reach 80% of Americans, twice that what was legally allowed before Trump's takeover. The state capture of network television is almost complete.

One milestone follows another at the 1.1‑gigawatt Thor offshore wind farm off Denmark’s west coast near Jutland: Yesterday, shortly after the installation of the first turbine, Thor delivered electricity into the Danish grid for the first time. /1 thread www.rwe.com/en/press/rwe...

Canada is expanding our partnership with Japan — to strengthen our shared security and create more opportunities and prosperity on both sides of the Pacific.

This gentleman has a brutal truth for MAGA. 😳👇

The Existence of the Post Office is in the Constitution! We should Not be Here….

I know there are multiple factors, but I do feel the death of mass market paperbacks did its share of damage to literacy. Publishing decided ebooks had replaced MMPBs, but though ebooks are easily accessed, they aren't as affordable, and they aren't showing face in supermarkets, drug stores, etc.

The United States is contemplating threatening to kill people with HIV in another country as leverage to get that country's minerals. We have become a sick nation, just as depraved and disgusting as its leader.

just plainly evil.

This is your criminal government, Americans. A rogue bandit state stealing Venezuela's oil, massacring Iranian schoolgirls and now planning to "take" Cuba because Trump says "I can do anything I want with it." Patriotic Americans must end this madness.

Canada and the big European powers have put out a statement condemning a possible Israeli ground invasion of Lebanon.

It’s gonna be a pretty solid weekend if social media is flooded with clips of Laura Loomer getting her ass handed to her in-person by Indian journalists. Shout-out to Rajdeep Sardesai for kicking off the festivities.

I’m old enough to recall the Deepwater Horizon oil spill (2010), its devastating impacts on communities along the gulf, and how the right blamed Obama for not stopping the leak. Our government doesn’t have the capacity to do disaster response at the bottom of the ocean - or to clean a massive spill.

The Epstein Class Is Creating World War 3 and Profiting Off Our Misery thelefthook.substack.com/p/the-epstei...

The Trump WH is starting to reap what it has sown in terms of screwing over counterparties: -Iran can't trust a negotiated settlement so why reach one? -Ds in Congress can't trust Trump to follow the law so why bargain w/him? -Universities see past deals leading to future shakedowns so why make one?

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment. Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off. The 25th is never happening.

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men." Just saying it right out loud now. newrepublic.com/post/207693/...

This is indicative of a mindset which essentially says "there can be no such thing as scholarship or intelligence when it comes from a group I've been conditioned to demonize" and we'd all be better off if we realized these people are simply like this. There's nothing to persuade here, it's bigotry.

Les Canadiennes et Canadiens achètent des produits du Canada pour aider les entreprises locales. Avec la politique Achetez canadien, des logements, des infrastructures et des projets de défense voient le jour grâce aux matériaux, à la technologie et aux travailleurs canadiens.

Canadians buy made-in-Canada goods to support their local businesses and local economies. We’re doing the same, at scale, with the Buy Canadian Policy — by building housing, infrastructure, and defence projects with Canadian materials, Canadian technology, and Canadian workers.

Our government keeps telling us America can't afford universal health care or expanding Medicare for ALL. There's a reason for that.🗽

Trump’s decision to go to war in Iran was powerfully influenced by his military success in Venezuela in early January. A US president who came to office promising to end wars was clearly intoxicated by what he called a “stunning, effective and powerful display” of military might. He was also openly

Make America White Again. That's what it's always been about.

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

This directly contradicts Trump and Hegseth’s claims that Iran bombed the area where the Iranian school was hit. We knew it, but it’s good to have the video.

She's right, you know.

Seems relevant to the upcoming war powers vote in the House.

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran. No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles. Worth a watch. (🎥 BBC News/BBC Verify)

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

A new lawsuit alleges Google’s chatbot sent a Florida man on missions to find an android body it could inhabit. When that failed, it set a suicide countdown clock for him. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/gemi...

They’re now speaking about it openly.

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…
