We are (deliberately) blind to the climate catastrophe that is slowly engulfing us. Cartoon from 2023. #climatecrisis #lifestyle #blinders

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

New from @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social: "A Democratic member of Congress attempted over the weekend to visit Kilmar Abrego Garcia at his new detention site in El Salvador only to be turned away by local authorities." www.thebulwark.com/p/democratic...

My feed is serving up some Irony BBQ with a side of Stark Contrast. Happy Memorial Day to all who served, both alive and fallen, and to all who helped support them along the way.

It’s chilling to see Americans drape themselves in patriotism, honoring those who died for democracy—while gleefully marching headfirst into fascism with flags in hand.

During a debate titled "One Christian vs. Twenty Atheists," Jordan Peterson loses by forgetting what side he’s on

It would be super great if we could stop debating who is/was having a worse mental decline and, instead, understand that clear minds are choosing to endorse greed, murder, mass destruction, eugenics, and genocide.

If you want to defeat radical dishonesty and LIES, it’s going to take radical honesty and TRUTH. And many of you can’t handle the truth. Here, let me prove it to you with one word that has been banished from Congress and corporate media: Genocide.

It’s strange to watch Americans memorialize soldiers who died for democracy whilst they giddily embrace fascism.

So the Real ID is meaningless if you’re brown?

Yes please. Origami Ballet - Agnes Obel - "The Curse"

Outraged and heartbroken by the news of two young people killed last night in DC in a targeted act of antisemitic violence. This is the opposite of advancing justice and peace - it only furthers the violence, pain, and loss - and such hatred must be firmly rejected by all.

NOBODY WANTS APPLE BUILDING IPHONES HERE YOU IGNORANT FAT TODDLER. Good God you exhausting sloppy goon

I’m horrified by the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers at an event in DC last night. The fact that the gunman said he did it to “free Palestine” makes me nauseous. Murdering people for their nationality is never acceptable and this violence hurts Jews, Israelis, *and* Palestinians.

NEW: We identified at least 14 officers in the Chicago Police Department who, according to disciplinary records, have faced multiple accusations of sexual assault or misconduct in the past 10 years. Most have not been convicted. With @invisible.institute

Great work there Pentagon, accept lavish gifts from foreign countries while removing benefits, money, and stability from servicemembers

Trade is like water, it will always flow. If you erect barriers, trade will flow around you. It's that simple.

IF YOU HAVEN’T READ IT DO YOURSELF A FAVOR!

After the mayor of Newark was arrested for protesting outside of a new immigration detention facility, a DHS official is threatening to arrest three members of Congress who were also present. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

She’s out!! They have released Ozturk from ICE custody!

Not only are they ignoring climate change—they’re trying to cover up the cost. Shutting down NOAA’s disaster tracking so we can’t see the BILLIONS it’s costing us? This ain’t solving the crisis—it’s hiding it.

NEW: Minnesota’s graduation rate just reached the highest level on record. Two years ago, we made the single-largest investment in public schools in state history.   Today, we’re seeing the results.

NEW: Tulsi Gabbard, now the US director of national intelligence, used the same easily cracked password for different online accounts including a personal Gmail account and Dropbox over a period of years, leaked records reviewed by WIRED reveal.

“I think this says that they will not tolerate us being active participants in our democracy—they want an autocracy,” Emily Feiner told Mother Jones. Meet the 64-year-old retired social worker who went viral after being forcibly removed from her representative's town hall.

You know that Twilight Zone episode where the kid has amazing psychic powers and can make people disappear with his mind and the entire town is hostage to him and has to cater to his every whim? That’s us right now.

Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

It's hard to feel empathy for these fools, but I've run out of fucks to give. We warned them.

Aaaaaand, scene. 🤡 @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

AOC responds to Trump official after he threatened to prosecute her: “Come for me. Do I look like I care?”

Hey Chuck Schumer @schumer.senate.gov have you and the other members of the Quitters' Caucus stepped down yet?

Rubio publicly criticizing an ally for cracking down on right-wing extremism. And Germany hitting back. We are in a new world

Here it is. A timetable of 100 days of corruption. Breathtaking. Heartbreaking. We cannot let this stand.
