Trump and Musk are a living monument to the worst excesses of human nature—an exhausting blend of arrogance, ignorance, greed, selfishness, narcissism, and the kind of misplaced confidence that has already fueled a thousand horrible decisions that will ultimately hurt millions of everyday Americans.

Something that's maddening about the cases involving DOGE access to our most sensitive private data and the irreparable harm standard is that the ACCESS ITSELF is the irreparable harm, and some judges just aren't getting that. (Some are, e.g., storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...)

Animal welfare, environment slip in rankings as reasons to eat less meat Only 15 percent of survey respondents cited animal welfare as their top reason to eat less meat Unless it their precious pet Most people simply do not care about animal suffering trellis.net/article/anim...

It's not getting better. Warning to everyone: keep your ear to the ground about H5N1. This bird flu could get very, very bad.

83% of clergy in the U S. are white men, not exactly diverse. Add to that Christianity's abuses, including sexual predation and colonization, and it becomes evident that this cultural shift is healthy progress away from abuse and coercive indoctrination.

www.businessinsider.com/trump-admini... Because this is completely normal! Carry on with the slaughter of our government and military!

Infant mortality rates in the US have increased by 7% following the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision.

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

There’s lots of people doing NOTHING on #ClimateChange & some are doing everything they can to MAKE IT WORSE. Today’s a great day to support folks trying to MAKE IT BETTER. Donate to the Calgary Climate Hub. Every cent helps www.calgaryclimatehub.ca/donate #Climate #EnergyTransition #abpoli

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Donald Trump just fired a well-respected General who was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And his Administration announced they’re replacing other officers, too. The purge of people of stature and independence goes on.

a new frontier of climate science denial is upon us www.newscientist.com/article/2469...

Alberta has lifted its ban on coal mining and is inexplicably fast-tracking new mining projects in some of the sensitive and crucial watersheds! If you live in Alberta, please take a moment to use this tool to send a Direct Message to Alberta's Energy Minister. saveourslopes.ca/directmessage

"The crowd again started shouting 'tax Elon,' 'tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich' and 'tax the billionaires.'" The county went 68% for Trump www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

A must read story by @lomikriel.bsky.social "A top former government official who worked on refugee issues told ProPublica that another 100,000 refugees who had already been vetted by the Department of Homeland Security have also been blocked from entering the country." propub.li/3EI9X29

There we go! Duck those fascist traitors.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

As Ukrainians mark 3 years of war..they can be forgiven for feeling bitter towards the US voters who elected an administration which.. has shown itself capable of the sort of mendacity & thuggish self-interest usually associated with the worst authoritarian regimes www.irishtimes.com/opinion/edit...

Beware and step up: the plans for wholesale #assetstripping and #statecapture are now well underway in #TurtleIsland, especially the USA, and we must all work together to stop it. Everything we know and love is at stake.

Following the massive WA dieoff of trees & shrubs stretching over 1000 kms in 2024, comes coral-bleaching at Ningaloo & Scott reefs & massive fishkills along the WA coast in 2025 Politicsl allegiance to fossil fuel interests seems impervious to livestreamed impacts of #ClimateBreakdown #WAVotes

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

Before it's taken offline, I want you to know about the NASA website where you can learn about the stratospheric ozone hole and check on how it's doing. It has cool movies like this one, showing the growth of the ozone hole during the Austral spring last year. ozonewatch.gsfc.nasa.gov/SH.html

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

Wikipedia is rolling out anonymity features piloted in countries with authoritarian governments in the US & is making a change to not show editor IP addresses in response to a global "increase in threats" from Elon Musk, Heritage Foundation, and governments www.404media.co/wikipedia-pr...

The one thing they promised to Little Dog they're already backing down on. Never trust a Republican

Eventually Democratic governors and members of congress will figure out that we're liable to nominate for president the first one of them who tells Trump, on camera, to his face, to go fuck himself.

Raskin: "So who is leading DOGE? Is it the young man who calls himself Big Balls? Is it the racist on the night crew who's proud of the fact he was a racist before all of his friends were racist, and says we should legitimize Indian hate?"

Raskin: "It's becoming obvious to the American people that Elon Musk and Donald Trump are not opponents of corruption, they are agents of corruption."

Indeed. Upwards of 50% mortality rate.

www.marketwatch.com/livecoverage... I'm sure it will get better like everything else right nooooooooo.

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court." THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.
