the annual percentage of the 2024 budget that goes towards the NEA is .003%…

The EU plans to ban all Russian gas imports, including pipeline and LNG, under new and existing contracts by the end of 2027, Bloomberg reports. Big move.

Legal challenges to President Trump’s El Salvador deportations have focused on due process, writes @conor64.bsky.social. Less attention has been paid to another constitutional protection: the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition on “cruel and unusual punishment.”

What the actual fuck is happening.

Last week, the govt dismissed 400 researchers working on the US National Climate Assessment. I was one of them. Today, @agu.org & @ametsoc.org announced they are joining forces to sustain the momentum. It's not a replacement, it's a reminder that science is unstoppable. news.agu.org/press-releas...

New in PN: Trump's brain is gone "Trump’s competence has always left a lot to be desired, but recent interviews show a president who’s no longer capable of even the veneer of mental acuity. Meanwhile, his party behaves like courtiers to a mad king."

Exactly

Blessed Beltane!

Donald Trump at the White House National Day of Prayer event: "I was with hostages, 10 hostages that got out, they came about 3 weeks ago to the Oval Office." He met with 8 hostages almost two months ago. Bro is not well.

“The greatest mistake of our time”

Yup, it stands out like a large, orange turd, sleeping at the late Pope Francis' funeral.

This is disgusting

This was goodbye. Pope Francis rode through St. Peter’s Square in the Popemobile yesterday, just hours before he passed away.

Pope Francis led by example, centering his life and papacy on being a voice for the less fortunate. He inspired us all to better embody the teachings of Christ: love, compassion, and justice. Gwen and I are joining Catholics and Christians around the world in mourning his loss.

"In one of his final public appearances leading the stations of the cross on Good Friday, Francis [said], “Today’s builders of Babel tell us that there is no room for losers and that those who fall along the way are losers. Theirs is the construction site of Hell.” www.thebulwark.com/p/a-pope-who...

Remember the 6 men who forcibly removed Dr. Teresa Borrenphol from the Coeur d'Alene town hall? They’ve been arrested and charged! www.kivitv.com/news/six-men...

As we fight tyranny, we build solidarity. From solidarity, we draw courage. Surrounded by courageous people and institutions, we more easily find courage within ourselves to keep fighting. Remember: tyranny is only possible if people submit to it.

Los Angeles. April 19th. Are you ready?👇👇👇 @50501movement.bsky.social @nvunheard.org @littleboblue.bsky.social @50501activists.bsky.social @resistbuildwin.bsky.social @voicesofflorida.bsky.social @indrosevilleca.bsky.social

🦋 Senator Van Hollen was stopped by the Salvadoran military who tried to thwart his Abrego Garcia visit. “They were ordered not to allow us to proceed any further” The meeting eventually took place at a hotel in San Salvador, at the same time Trump said “I’m not involved”. NYT: archive.is/tATid 🦋

She's right ..... again 🤔

Let's make this clear: Just because we demand that our justice system continue to use DUE PROCESS does not mean that we support gangs or illegal activity. But snatching people off the street and disappearing them without due process crosses the fucking line.

NEVER FORGET

Don't let Donald's tariff stupidity distract you from talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon that put our troops in danger. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not. And we can multitask our criticisms.

Requiring REAL IDs and passports and birth certificates to vote?!? Imagine if these were required to buy a gun.

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

PA Governor Josh Shapiro's home was attacked by arsonist on the 1st night of Passover. Did you know there were over 10,000 reported incidents of antisemitism in the US last year? Even words have consequences. They create an environment where this can happen. abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...

And the yo-yo continues.

All of this could have been avoided if enough people had just decided to vote for a competent Black Indian woman. Racism...the downfall of America.

Maybe Canada can let us become the 11th Province 🙏

Evil, sick,fucks.
