You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Perhaps just me, but it's 'interesting' that while Trump muses about not really needing to hold elections in the US in 2026 (because he's done such a "wonderful" job), and at the same time his henchmen are demanding the same thing as Russian aggressors: holding elections AGAINST Ukrainian law. 🙃

It seems like we have the dumbest trolls in government, but it's way worse than that.
These men are evil.
Every single one of them knows they're lying about climate change. They know that actual science shows it's real, it's us, it's dangerous, but we can fix it—yet they truly do not give a fuck.

Burgum: "CO2 was never a pollutant. When we breathe, we emit CO2. Plants need CO2 to survive and grow. They thrive with more CO2. So the whole endangerment thing opens up an opportunity for the revival of clean, beautiful, American coal."

To understand how monstrous the US blockade on Cuba is, think about the endgame. What are they trying to achieve?
The goal is clearly to starve people to the point where they are too weak to resist an invasion, or so desperate they are willing to accept US control.

The US is gearing up for genocidal crimes. They backed the genocide in Gaza precisely in order to set a precedent that would allow them to do this themselves.
It is pure, wanton barbarism. Every decent person with any shred of human values must resist this campaign with all their might.

We don't know what's happening, but there's no good news here. As long as we keep burning fossil fuels, the world will continue to become more dangerous and chaotic.
Scientists thought they understood global warming. Then the past three years happened.
The fastest warming period since 1880 occurred in the past 30 years, according to a Washington Post analysis of NASA data.

MAGA alkaa muistuttaa jihadisteja koko ajan enemmän.
These are called honor killings 👍
A MAGA freak in Texas murdered his own daughter in cold blood after they had an argument about Trump.
A grand jury in the Dallas area then *declined to indict him*, and he has not yet faced charges.
Seems like many Texans believe a man has the right to kill his own child for disobedience.

Toivottavasti koko oppositio asettuu vastustamaan hallitusohjelmassa esitettyä ja hiljattain Purran ehdottamaa orjatyölakia. Perustuslakivaliokunta sitä ei tee. Kyllä työstä pitää aina palkka maksaa! Muutenhan yritykset ja julkinen sektori irtisanoo palkalliset työntekijät ja ottaa orjat tilalle.
Purrahan jo ehdotti orjatyötä toimeentulotukea vastaan. Siivousta, risujen keräämistä ja sen sellaista. Toki se lukee jo hallitusohjelmassa että yllätyksenä ei tullut. Miksi mikään yritys enää palkkaisi esim. ammattisiivoojia jos valtio antaa orjat? Jos on töitä tarjota, pitää siitä maksaa palkka🤬

Kerrankin hyviä uutisia! Palkansaajien ostovoima on parantunut, eli palkka riittää aiempaa paremmin arjen menoihin. Tämä on ammattiliittojen neuvottelemien palkankorotusten ansiota. Paras tapa turvata omat palkankorotukset on kuulua liittoon!
