President Donald Trump's accusation that Iran is building nuclear weapons that could "soon" reach the U.S. is contradicted by a 2025 federal government assessment that said Iran is years away from the ability to produce long-range missiles. (via @politifact.bsky.social)

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.
Breaking MS NOW:
Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available.
Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.
What she says…
Since they don’t want you to see it, you should definitely watch this

Just to keep it straight ...
It's Trump's Secretary of Homeland Security who's allegedly having a barely concealed affair with her married aide who tried to fire a Coast Guard pilot for not turning their luxury jet around mid-flight to go back and get her blankie ...
Any political party spreading lies about voter fraud as a pretext to make it harder for every one to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.
Remember this.
Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"
Social Security - "That's socialism!"
Debt free education - "That's socialism!"
Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"
Billions for ICE, refurbishing Trump's Qatar jet, and tax cuts for the rich...
"That's just how it is."
Absolutely amazing!

The real division in the US is between those who support a multicultural, multiracial, multilingual America that centers fair socioeconomic opportunity for all & those who want a theocratic Christian evangelical white ethnostate that centers economic elites
Millions of files related to Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a 'global criminal enterprise' that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, a panel of independent experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council says reut.rs/4rpxDfl
Tensions aren’t easing in Minneapolis as #ICE continues “Operation Metro Surge.”

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.
She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

The head of an alligator is visible as the alligator swims through very murky, greenish water in the Florida Everglades.
Opinion | United Educators’ 2026 Top Risks Report made news this month because athletics rose to be a top campus concern, displacing Title IX. But none of those risks are the alligator closest to the boat.
AI is the threat leaders should be worried about. https://bit.ly/46kPY4m

Intimate, thoughtful portrait of Olga Tokarczuk, the acclaimed Polish novelist and 2018 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate, celebrated for her boundary-crossing narratives that weave encyclopedic passion with myth, history, and the fluid nature of identity and existence. Her striking crown of braids—rich brown strands interwoven with subtle blue beads and piled high in an artistic, towering bun. With warm hazel eyes gazing softly into the distance, a gentle half-smile playing on her lips, and her hand resting contemplatively against her cheek, she exudes quiet intensity and depth. Dressed in a cozy dark gray-blue turtleneck sweater, she sits against a deep teal backdrop, embodying the tender yet unflinching narrator who reimagines borders, genders, and human stories in works like Flights, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, and her magnum opus The Books of Jacob. #Poland
Olga Tokarczuk was born #OTD in 1962 & is one of the most critically acclaimed Polish authors of her generation.
She was awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize in #Literature for "a narrative imagination that with encyclopedic passion represents the crossing of boundaries as a form of life." #litsky (1/2)
Warm, engaging portrait of Dr. Linda Buck, the brilliant American biologist who unlocked the mysteries of our sense of smell. With her brown bob haircut framing her face, she has a joyful smile, bright eyes sparkling behind subtle makeup, and wears a sleek black top against a soft gray backdrop Co-winner of the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (shared with Richard Axel), Dr. Buck is renowned for discovering the large family of odorant receptors in our noses and revealing how the olfactory system organizes countless scents into the vivid perceptions, memories, and emotions that define human experience.
How do our noses detect and distinguish thousands of different smells?
