Trump is a demented, rageaholic. He’s going to get really, really ugly. The kindest most loving people can get really, really verbally abusive and disgusting in the throes of dementia. This person will be just vile 24/7.

There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.

You don't just need your birth certificate

You'll need every marriage and divorce certificate, your ss card, current water bill

Most of the politicians don't even live where they say they do, they just enter into a lease or purchase to run there

That's the biggest bullshit fact of safe act

Remember Trump publicly said if the oil industry would give him a billion dollars, he’d do anything they wanted.
He sold us out for this before the election

Slava Ukraini! The IOC _is_ political, if they weren’t then Russia and Belarus wouldn’t be competing under a neutral flag. And it should matter to the IOC that athletes are being murdered. What are the Olympics without athletes?

Correction: A previous version of this post misidentified the South Caucasus as belonging to Russia. The region, made up of territory in Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan, is not part of Russia. We deleted the previous post.

You can't prove received wisdom wrong if you don't try... and you've got to give China credit for not being afraid to try. A step on the way to serious reduction of shipping emissions by 2050? Or an expensive experiment with niche coastal uses? Time will tell!

One key job of the media is to tell truth to power. Not just journalists, but interviewers, comedians, artists and others. Stephen Colbert did that. This cancellation is political. It’s part of Paramount’s capitulation to Trump. My appetite for CBS and Paramount+ programming is now near zero.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

🎩 Our government’s been using Epstein’s blackmail information for decades

I believe it’s one of the main reasons we can’t have a functioning government

Removing everyone implicated in the Epstein files is the key to taking our country back

We need to rip these people out of power!

Klein: People are afraid to come into clinics or hospitals because they’re afraid they’ll be snatched. So they’re staying home with acute conditions like appendicitis. They’re not going to their follow-up neonatal appointments. They’re allowing their jaundiced babies to go untreated.
