Well this was a delightful treat! Canada truly is an awesome country. youtube.com/watch?v=KU5T...

The sheer ignorance of saying NATO countries aren’t pulling their weight. Here are some numbers…just one set of numbers that say a lot. youtu.be/iuDxTyDILsw?...

Trumpists will continue to be furious at any dissent no matter how much power they steal. That’s because the administration is premised on pathological insecurity. They’re shitty people, they know it, and they will never stop resenting being seen as shitty people.

Brilliant..."negotiating peace in Ukraine"...without Ukraine. Absolutely useless. Plus throwing NATO under the bus. Donny really working to wipe Vlad's butt. We are not a Russian puppet, even if Donny Traitor is under their orders.

It is so very very very simple: DO NOT WATCH IT BELIEVE GRAHAM HANCOCK'S AHISTORICAL NONSENSE!!! He is not a respected archeologist, employs speculative logical leaps, all for a sensational but untrue stories. youtube.com/watch?v=RsFu...

It's rich to see Rep Mullins complain about spending when ALL spending starts in the House. EVERY PENNY spent in an these departments was either directly or indirectly authorized by Congress, starting, per the US Constitution, in the House of Representatives. They choose now to live their own lie.

Spot on.

Saying we can't study infectious diseases while we also study chronic diseases is like saying we can't study rockets and boats at the same time, yet here we are. Outbreaks under way in the US and we're just gonna ignore the dead and dying.

It's effed up enough dealing with added depression the last couple of years, but the outright destruction of our country simply adds to the burden. The daily sh|+ show just keeps flowing. Worse are the fools who think this is some kind of good thing.

Ken Klipperstein leaked full passport guidance for trans people: - X markers will be a focal point - Existing unexpired passports will remain good - No guidance on confiscation, but it doesn’t seem like they will - Renewals less clear but it looks like they will use “a preponderance of evidence”

If you have just a few bucks to help a now-laid-off USDA scientist move back to Florida please pitch in. Many small drops in a bucket. gofund.me/60126c82

Among the too many illegal layoffs by the Trump Administration are highly experienced staff at the National Nuclear Security Administration, many charged with maintaining the nation's nuclear arsenal. Their reckless ignorance is endangering our national security. ground.news/article/hund...

Every week we get a little bit of time to laugh and cry all at once. This is no different. "I just turned off the news and put on a serial killer documentary to relax." open.substack.com/pub/statusku...

Doing great 👍

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

ADAG Bove genuinely exemplifies the corruption of many Trump appointees, while (now-former) AUSA Sassoon represents actual honest and sincere Trump appointees. open.substack.com/pub/harrylit...

This is how it’s supposed to work.

Okay…this is masterful. Effin’ hilarious!

Worst possible timeline. It was bad enough that anti-abortion states had higher infant mortality, but now also murdering mothers in the name of some ghastly notion of being “pro-life”. Plus higher teen pregnancies. ground.news/article/fewe...

OpenStreetMap keeping it real

Truth

"Pod Save America" has won the naming contest: DOGEbags.

Oh, it'll drive right. Big commercial trucks ain't pavement princesses. They can be straightened. If some customers are any indicator, they might drive better than off the factory lot. youtube.com/shorts/bDThZ...

Trump is so delicate he cannot take ANY criticism. He wants to be the strongman because he is too weak to preside as a President. ground.news/article/usai...

We just have to "get over our dictator phobia". We may even need to retire democracy via a military coup! So says Curtis Yarvin. Yes, it gets worse, and sounds almost exactly like what is happening right tf now. www.instagram.com/reel/DF6Zq0A...

The many things “Landman” gets wrong. Or “gets right” in quoting the petroleum industry’s false propaganda…and more stuff besides! youtu.be/wBC_bug5DIQ?...

This bodes ill. @ryanmcbeth.bsky.social maybe ought to talk about this. Goodbye readiness. I predict, however, that Hegseth will try to lower the standards. That should go well with the many advanced tools and weapons.

Poor Donny Convict, First Felon of the United States, is only in it for himself. I’m pretty sure the trips to Mar-a-Lardo are to video victims kissing Donny’s, uh, “ring”. It’s a very very old power play, and Donny is about nothing if not raw power. open.substack.com/pub/jefftied...

Here’s a little bit of DEIA training. Well, not precisely, and with a little snark, but this is exactly what DEIA is about: understanding without calling attention, accepting without judging, respecting without thinking about it. youtube.com/shorts/f05nR...

Achievement unlocked!

Let's always be sure to say "the Gulf of Mexican America" in front of the fascists. Loudly. While looking them in the eye.
