Apologies for the radical pinko commie talk, but I too think everyone in the world deserves health care.

"Instead of a passive recipient of support from larger countries, the Nordic-Baltic region is becoming a contributor to European security and setting an example for others to follow"

Texas conservatives were set to halt its deployment of green energy, which is rapidly becoming central to the state economy. Remarkably, it did not work - this time. From @gurleygg.bsky.social: prospect.org/environment/...

This might be the absolute greatest reply we have ever received. Thank you, Cookie Monster 📕🍪💙

This moment of bravery and defiance and strength was a gift to the world. Solidarity and support to these extraordinary humans and pokotiwha NZ's racist parliament for their disgusting vote

Abducting people at work sites - meaning they have jobs. Capturing them at court dates - meaning they're following the law. Blocking them from accessible higher education - meaning they're striving for more. And peddling lies about jobless, lawless, driftless.

That's racist.

DeLauro uses her opening statement to tear Russ Vought a new one

So the President of the USA is reduced to being a messenger boy for the Russian dictator and begging for help. Please Vladimir, be nice…. How long until the next time some people start wondering when Trump will be hard on Russia. This is pathetic.

Joe Biden says he's started treatment for his prostate cancer and the prognosis is good. Donald Trump says Biden was executed in 2020 and was replaced with a legion of clones. For busy voters, it can be hard to know who to believe.

This is outrageous. A federal worker at our DC town hall talks about how employees are being asked to write letters stating their support for Trump. Our loyalty is to country not any particular president. As the woman said, “what the literal fuck.” open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

Buildings across the center of the western city of Cologne, Germany, have been evacuated after the discovery of three WWII bombs. The operation is one of the largest-ever in the city, where such unpleasant finds are commonplace.

Some of the most chilling 2 minutes you've ever seen. Look at what's being said, openly, on one of the most popular TV channels in Israel. History is happening in front of our eyes. Don't look away. Please help share this widely. Read the full story here: zeteo.com/p/inside-the...

Every high school and college teacher should share this with their students.

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer. They're ignoring immigration laws. They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process. They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population. They're hiding their faces.⬇️

photos from today's raid in Plymouth, MA. They came over the bridge and were in Falmouth. WHAT ARE THESE GUYS? They aren't local LEOs so why police? Where's the badge number - and WHOSE CARS ARE THESE WITH MASS REG'S??? @midcapeindivisible.bsky.social

Indian anthropologist Aditya Vij is an avid collector of artifacts from bygone eras and has dedicated his life to antiquities — from cameras to rusty typewriters to vintage radio sets.

Zen and the art of topsoil clearance Seeing archaeological features being exposed is actually quite relaxing We could watch this all day #Durotriges25

I am ever excited for new @rianjohnson.bsky.social — but I must also turn your attention to the new @realgdt.bsky.social FRANKENSTEIN trailer that just dropped because holy shit

An ICE agent sporting a valknut tattoo (commonly associated with white supremacist "Odinist" groups in the US) was spotted during an immigration raid in Massachusetts last week.

Again, I cannot express how little I expected someone would usurp my position as "guy who takes ketamine in the company of a president".

Like, maybe the answer to "why did Musk do that weird thing" is that he is a weird guy, usually high, who spends way too much time online with some of the world's biggest conspiracy theorists.

Yesterday: tariffs on → Molly and I podcasted to explain it all. Last night: courts blocked the tariffs → Podcast felt obsolete. This afternoon: Higher court blocks the block → Tariffs are back. Result: podcast resurrected, and now it's both retro and relevant. Welcome to the whiplash economy.

Trump’s devastation abroad www.propublica.org/article/trum...

This seat is open because asshole Democrats in the Senate wouldn’t confirm Biden’s pick for the 3rd Circuit because Biden’s pick was Muslim and did pro bono work for Muslim clients.

A reminder that this appeals court seat is open because Senate *Democrats* were too scared and racist to confirm the Biden nominee. www.courthousenews.com/democrats-so...

Update: reports today that multiple legal observers were arrested today in New York at two separate immigration courts, for allegedly “obstructing” ICE. Not only that, apparently some immigration courts are barring the public from attending hearings. This mess is escalating fast.

Concentrating people into camps, you say? 🤔

Given the disgraceful treatment of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa by President Trump in the WH, it is only appropriate that we take 3 mins to listen to an excerpt of Pres Ramaphosa’s recent remarks to his Natl Assembly explaining the country’s Black Economic Empowerment Program. Brilliant.

Has anyone verified the Guardian's reporting on this?

The real cost of Trump's on again-off-again trade war with Europe won't be obvious. Yes, you'll see the missing wine and cheese, but the real cost is in the businesses that won't be started, and the brilliant innovations you'll never see.
