Thank you neighbors in Port Angeles, Wa.

It's seems amazing to me that a single lunatical maniac is influencing global markets AND that he can continue getting away with it... 😵‍💫

I love seeing pics from the #HandsOff rallies today. Assuming we still have elections by 2026, I think the disgraceful republicans are going to have a little problem...

IATP's Erin McKee: “It’s very shocking and devastating for our farmers, our kids, and our communities that they decided to cancel this promised funding... The thing that’s odd about this decision is everyone loves farm-to-school; it’s a bipartisan issue.” foodandpower.substack.com/p/usda-cuts-...

one of the most infuriating aspects of this entire clusterfuck is that NONE of this was actually necessary.

The economics lab at Yale modeled the effect of both the April 2nd tariff announcement by itself plus all US tariffs implemented in 2025. For one thing, Cheeto's dumbass move will create an average per household consumer loss of $2,100 in 2024 dollars. budgetlab.yale.edu/research/whe...

I love the fact that governments around the world are finding out their #tariffs by pausing the TV to look at the cardboard sign.

Absolutely horrifying. Beyond horrifying.

INCREDIBLE! ☺️

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

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees with General Milley that Americans do not owe our allegiance to a King, Queen, or a wannabe dictator. We owe our allegiance to the Constitution. Fuck the nonsense trump says about being a king.

Instead of doomscrolling, watch this.

WTF? Trump begins firings of FAA air traffic control staff just weeks after fatal DC plane crash “When DOGE fired me, they turned off my computer and wiped all of my files without warning.“ www.cnbc.com/2025/02/17/t...

… but of course! Now we somehow need to asphalt over the Whitehouse Rose Garden. 💩🤡🤮 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/u...

I think collapsing the US is precisely the goal... they are aiming to turn everything into a profit generating "business"

Personally, I would prefer Swamp A Lago if we absolutely needed to rename it (which obviously we don't ...)

If you need an example of how far you can get in life as a white dude with no talent whatsoever…

On this day in 1954: Polio vaccine is first given to a large group of children in Pittsburgh. One year later, the vaccine was proclaimed safe on April 12, 1954. #science

Rep. Ro Khanna ,(D-Cal): "...what budget approved this work ?!?" (hint: none, and furthermore, it's a federal offense to spend $$$ without it being a budgetary item, AND/OR if you're not a federal employee...
