Dear heads of state: Donald Trump won’t love you back. He may be the worst boyfriend the world has ever seen | Marina Hyde

The Climate Deniers like to claim that global warming will open up more new land for agriculture than it hurts. Notice how small the blue areas are, further exaggerated by the Mercator effect. Going north you run out of daylight and into permafrost. And there is no land to move to going south.

The argument that urban heat islands are biasing temperature records continually comes up. There is a long history of papers showing it's effect minimal globally \(and the world is 70% oceans with no urbanization\).

“Forget about intelligence” - that could be the motto for the entire Republican Party ...

“Reforming the student loan programs could put the whole university sector into a significant recession and state of “existential terror". The goal is to use economic policy and punitive student debt to impose a stifling ideological agenda." newrepublic.com/article/1970... via @newrepublic.com

And without due process this Georgia-born American citizen spends the rest of his life disappeared in a jail in Jamaica. Do you get it yet?

"What Happens Next? Trump’s strike on Iran will set off a global chain reaction—missiles, cyberattacks, oil shocks, and new alliances against us." ~ Mitch Jackson

This is not a war to achieve any strategic national purpose - it's a political & personal war. It's a war to entertain and distract the MAGA base as their healthcare is handed over to billionaires. It's a war to assuage Trump's toddler ego. And it's a war to set up an eventual dictatorship at home.

Well, you know what's coming next - everyone against tax cuts for billionaires is a traitor.

6/21, Los Angeles: A neighborhood volunteer documenting ICE was stopped by agents in an unmarked car, surrounded, and threatened by masked agents while they filmed him on their phones.

Callers will no longer be informed of wait times while on hold, callback wait times, and processing times for benefits.

The Russia's Future channel, launched by Navalny's widow Yulia Navalnaya and Reporters Without Borders, began broadcasting Wednesday, on what would have been the late Russian activist's 49th birthday.

Schrodinger's racists: 'The United States is a White Nationalist nation, founded on the principle of rule by white people, but that's not racist.'

And millions of people accept this as normal and not a sign of a significantly disordered personality.

No wonder Trump keeps TACOing on TikTok - It's now apparently under MAGA control. www.alternet.org/trump-gen-z-...

Today is Show Your Stripes Day (even though I show them everyday ...)

He argued that the phrase We the People in the Constitution refers exclusively to white people. "Turning over the country to a nonwhite majority would constitute a terrible crime. White people cannot be expected to allow this assault on their sovereignty." www.democraticunderground.com/10143482881

"I said, Americans spend too much time not working."

You can't interfere with a so-called "agent" if he's masked, out of uniform, and showing no ID or warrant - you're just resisting your own kidnapping. Especially if you are a US citizen who doesn't have to present any ID. ktla.com/news/local-n...

“Without science, the agency can’t function. And that’s what we’re seeing right now.” — EPA official

We are actually living through, this very minute, an attempted fascist takeover of a democracy.

You're watching your carbon footprint with more energy efficient vehicles and appliances. But your retirement savings is being lent out by the banks and pension funds to the fossil fuel industry, causing more CO2 emissions than everything you do personally. open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

Trump’s way of recognizing Juneteenth 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

"In the fight for transgender rights, few institutions have been more complicit in fueling the backlash than the NYT. Now, fresh off the ruling it helped legitimize, the paper has published 6 more stories spreading misinformation on transgender healthcare." www.erininthemorning.com/p/after-gett...

There is a stupidity crisis in the White House everyday.

This line from E. Jean Carroll: "This is a man who wears apricot makeup, with his hair twirled around his head like Barbara Stanwyck in Ball of Fire."

Tom Homan on how ICE agents are people just like you and me and we shouldn't be mean to them: "They're mothers and fathers too. They have children too. They have parents too." Tom is so WOKE! Selective empathy, selective WOKE, even for people wearing masks kidnapping citizens and legal residents.

Short of Lil' Donnie starting WWIII because the squeaky tanks hurt his feelings, RFK Jr is the most dangerous man in America. One million Covid deaths was not a deal-breaker for MAGA, so we should assume millions more before Senator Collins becomes concerned. www.editorialboard.com/the-next-ele...

A document the Department of Health and Human Services sent to lawmakers to support Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s decision to change U.S. policy on covid vaccines cites scientific studies that are unpublished or under dispute and mischaracterizes others. Story from @kffhealthnews.org

Don't let the Senate finance negotiations fool you - the number ONE priority for Senate Republicans is the same as that for the House Republicans: tax cuts for billionaires. And your healthcare is in the way.

Sexist bigot Nancy Mace asks, "What is a woman?" Answer: A woman is not a what. A woman is a who. What Mace and her ilk do is reduce a who to a what, and they do it to women to exclude them so that they can be more easily controlled and abused. www.the-reframe.com/shows-of-wea...
