It's my favorite how the government has people come online and try to convince others that we have no rights, no laws, no constitution, and that voting is futile.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.

Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

The Black Death’s counterintuitive effect: as human numbers fell, so did plant diversity New study finds that plant biodiversity collapsed in landscapes where arable production was abandoned during and after the Black Death era.

This is not the best part of the firing, but it’s in the Top 10.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"

Ask any staffer and they will tell you in times like these your calls especially and then emails make a difference. Every pol gets a tally of office contact daily and if they are any good they do react to it. I know it’s work but it does make a difference

We are currently outside the ICE Broadview concentration camp where Sunny Naqvi’s family believes her to be held after being detained in O’Hare by federal authorities.

Mark Carney signs new strategic partnership with Japan Prime Minister Mark Carney has landed in Japan on the final stop of a 10-day trip that also included Australia and India.

Canada is distancing itself from the USA at a remarkably rapid speed. They have quite a leader. USA is going to pay a heavy price for Trump's stupidy - in more ways than one.

“A country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn't have a budget issue--it has a values issue."

A billion dollars a day going towards the war in Iran so far.

What must come of this brazen eliminationist project, however, is the recognition of these enemies of human survival & a commitment to protect society from their predations, as Malcolm X would say, “by any means necessary.”

Trump: "There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. 'MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!).' Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

By design

One thing we should be taking away from the fascist crisis is that careful research on the real world is extremely fucking important. Bare minimum that work needs to be funded & expanded for us to have the information & tools necessary to cast off this regime & create a livable world from its ashes.

Cricket’s revenge.

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" painting.

"Arrow" with Stephen Amell was good, actually. It was FUN watching the show let loose and embrace its comic-book origins, taking it from a "realistic" drama to Green Arrow killing god. I liked the performances. I even liked the romance! And Manu Bennett will always be my #Deathstroke.

[WARNING: This is a bit graphic.]

A Marine Corps veteran protesting Trump’s War on Iran had his arm broken by Capitol Police and GOP Senator Tim Sheehy. It appears to be a compound fracture.

Emmanuel Damas, another individual killed in ICE custody.

He had a toothache. They ignored it. He died of spesis. Read that again.

Why do we need to fund this murderous agency?
