Earth will warm 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels in just two years, new data shows. Irreversible tipping points — like the melting of Arctic ice sheets or the collapse of coral reefs — are closer at hand than previously believed.

If you had important information for voters, and kept it to yourself to sell books after it was too late, you’re not a hero. You’re an asshole.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

BREAKING: Linda McMahon just embarrassed the entire Department of Education. She told Congress we ranked “very low” in reading and math in 1979. Senator Markwayne Mullin had to stop her and say: “We were number one.” You can’t fix education when you don’t even know its history.

Facts to keep in mind: •May is Military Appreciation Month •November is Veterans’ Month Evil trolls have decided to focus on those two, in order to cast shade on Pride. Feel free to remind them that, they do, indeed, exist—& that apparently they missed a chance to celebrate one last month. 🐸 ☕️ 🤣

Lenny is fast out of the blocks when he realises the herd is heading for its midday milk feed. Funny thing is, he doesn’t need or get a bottle, he has access to milk ‘on demand’! Month old Baby Zigi, the youngest elephant calf brings up the rear.

“Wildfires in Canada have already burned about half of what was average before the major fire seasons in 2023 and 2024. That translates to more than 1.1 million hectares (2.7 million acres) blackened this year so far.”

Meanwhile, baristas are still struggling to pay our bills or get shifts properly staffed to keep up with customer demand. And our CEO still commutes to work from California to Seattle via private jet for some reason.

Jesus taught to help the poor, feed the hungry, and heal the sick. All of which are the opposite of what the Big Backstabbing Bill you were “defending” does. Shame on you and your pathetic non-apology.

White Christian Nationalist Senator Joni Ernst from Iowa flippantly told a town hall member “we are all going to die sometime “ in response to Medicaid cuts. In her sarcastic apology she doubled down by saying those who want to live forever can do so by embracing Jesus. Vote this heartless skank out

It's pretty obvious to me that many of the ICE goons in all the raid videos circulating around are not trained law enforcement personnel, and I'm looking forward to an investigative report telling us who those people are, who recruited them, and under what legal authority are they operating.

Take a look at Hungary so you can understand the intended future of our nation by those who stole all branches of government. They are making swift progress. We CANNOT stop this runaway train with elections! We also cannot WAIT for an election. We must ACT now.

Musk built a data center in Memphis without any proper permits, and it is polluting nearby areas. The EPA would normally investigate this, but DOGE dismantled it. This is the world the techno-fascist billionaires want: unregulated technocracies to do as they please—with no regard for human life.

Spare me the fake outrage. None of these people showing up for court are criminals of any kind. As a prosecutor, I worked with many ICE officers who arrested violent criminals. None of them wore masks. Many of your agents are clearly ashamed to carry out your orders.

I can’t believe the media covered up the fact that a clear mental incompetent was running the government while out of his mind on drugs, despite it being widely known in DC circles, to preserve their access to the White House. There should be huge recriminations for this.
