Why do we keep using Airbnb for vacation rentals when there are so many better and safer alternatives? Here's Why More and More People are Done with Airbnb—It's Quite a List www.frommers.com/tips/hotel-n...

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

A drop in the share price of these three companies would be um.........pretty impactful to Norway's oil fund, which has become heavily invested in the tech oligarchy

If you missed them when they became bestsellers, now is the time to read them. They will help prepare you for what is ahead. (I expect no royalties from any sales, so I am simply recommending the books on the basis of their content; I do not care if you borrow them, get them used, whatever).

This is entirely preventable. Science solved this problem more than 60 years ago.

Rep Kevin Hern—scared to say anything against Trump. The obvious—if Zelenskyy were a dictator, Trump would love him like he loves Putin. Glad to see folks in Oklahoma calling him out. Even small town halls matter right now. Don’t let them off the hook. Keep calling, emailing, and confronting them.

This is the House Republican budget plan that Donald Trump endorsed. Trickle up economics.

‘Donald Trump Recruited as Moscow Asset,’ Says Ex-KGB Spy Chief Former Soviet intelligence officer Alnur Mussayev reveals Moscow recruited Donald Trump in 1987. For decades, Trump has been groomed as a Russian asset, operating under the codename “Krasnov” — which means…

This IS America, unless America stops it. No one else will. No one else can.

DOGE staffer Edward “Big Balls” Coristine is the grandson of Valery Martynov - a “former” KGB spy. That’s right, one of Elon Musk’s young cyber criminals — related to a former KGB spy, and who seemingly did not have to undergo a background check — now has unprecedented access to…

Elon doesn't seem to understand how the federal government works.

Trmpy had another bad week!

Another department tells its employees to ignore Elon…

As @janecaro.bsky.social said on the Sunday @theshot.net.au let’s ditch AUKUS and go back to the French 🇫🇷 I’m glad somebody else said it out loud because I was thinking it but too chicken to say

The Trump Center going the way of Trump University and Trump Steaks. www.rawstory.com/trump-kenned...

. General Mark Milley was right . . . ... and he's still right ! 💠 👊 💠

Students, holidaymakers & conference schedulers: if you or anybody with you in the USA has a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy, needs emergency contraception, is unexpectedly pregnant or has a miscarriage in the USA, you might be refused medical service or hospital care even if it kills you.

So, this is happening in Canada. 👏🇨🇦🤞

Scientists have found enormous columns of methane gas leaking into the atmosphere from Antarctica, with the potential for further leaks amounting to the sum total of what humanity emits over two years. By @manuelansede.bsky.social for El País…

Okay. Listen up. Trump & Musk are ripping apart our economy. They want you dirt poor and beholden to them. They want you begging for scraps. Even if he sends 5k from DOGE, it will be so you won’t look at what else he’s doing to us and the country. Do.Not.Be.Fooled. FIGHT! #ProudBlue

The National Party doing a job on their own constituents, spreading lies and creating fake community groups. And our ABC reporting outcomes instead of causes. #AusPol

Damn! $10.49 for a dozen eggs in Wisconsin. If I recall correctly, just a few months ago JD Vance was bitching about eggs at $4/dozen. You see boys and girls, Republicans LIE to you and you fall for it. Enjoy your eggs 🤦‍♀️🥴 #Voices4Victory

Oh, hell no! We cannot let Republicans send our beloved grandmas and grandpas, kids, people with disabilities, and others over the cliff by taking away their Medicaid money only to give it to the rich by way of generous tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans.

Pass it on please.

Well Trump did this

Anyway a good thing to do if you're feeling low is march down Main Street in your town, holding aloft lanterns and a giant snake made of chicken wire and christmas lights to remind yourselves and everyone else than even though things are very dark right now, the light is coming.

#StopTheCoup

Just a reminder that if you are sending emails to certain, um, addresses, use a secure browser like Duck Duck Go and a VPN service like Tunnel Bear! Which is also very cute!

Hi! It’s us. 👋 Your friendly, neighborhood “tremendous losers,” delivering mail to 169 million delivery points nationwide, in every kind of weather, funded by postage stamps and sales — not taxpayer dollars. Anyway, see you on our routes tomorrow! 📫

NFL vet Chris Kluwe takes a stand against local MAGA influence and is arrested for civil protest during Huntington Beach, CA, council meeting. His interview with CNN following the incident is sharply on point and should be amplified far and wide. #RESIST #PERSIST youtu.be/lXW_BHW_wM4?...

Correct. And this applies to us too. If you have not, contact your member of Congress and DEMAND they impeach Trump. Also message @indivisible.org and ask them what the hell they are doing not supporting this.

Given that Elon was implying that how employees handled this email could be grounds for dismissal, it seems like he’s trying to do an end-run around individual’s Weingarten rights www.ueunion.org/stwd_wei.html

The major parties don't have the moral courage to protect the people and places we love. This election is an opportunity to vote for a candidate who will. Minority govt may be the only thing that forces the Govt to put 🇦🇺ns ahead of vested interests. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Don’t do huge doses of ketamine and then try to reorganise the government, kids

Yes, why not? Our mouths and teeth are part of our bodies. Makes no sense to exclude dental. Beyond time. #auspol

Weird how good policy that helps people is also good politics. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Good reminder to join your union.
