"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Just a reminder folks. Since Jenner first went public with the cowpox vaccine against smallpox, no single human invention has saved more lives than vaccination. RFK Jr. wants to get rid of vaccines in the US. If he succeeds, he will have become a mass murderer.

Yeah, I’m sure what Mike has in mind is to build affordable housing at those scenic vistas on federal land he wants to open up for development. That’s how he’s selling it, but we all know that they have different plans.

Conserving our environment is an American value. From hikers to hunters we want to keep our public lands public! Thats why the unprecedented sell-off of millions of acres of public lands needs to be removed from the Senate Budget Bill. Nature is non partisan! 🇺🇸 Pass it on!

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

The day before Kristi Noem's goons premeditated an arrest of Brad Lander, NYC amended its lawsuit against Noem, catching them lying to explain their theft of $80M. I'd say that's just a coinkydink...But Ras Baraka is suing Noem too. www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/18/r...

Public lands are just that: public, and owned by the taxpayer. Republicans want to auction them off to the highest bidder to pay for their billionaire tax cuts. Hell no.

The Minnesota assassin supported Donald Trump and had a kill list consisting entirely of Democrats and reproductive rights advocates. But it's unclear what his political motivations might be.

To those who have not studied history, or forgot, or don’t believe history repeats, take a look. If you still don’t get the connection, then you will live the consequences of your actions, or inaction.

It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.

So this new reporting is telling me that our country has been governed by this generation’s Hunter S. Thompson, but without Thompson’s compassion or wit.
