For satire to work, it must either be so outrageous as to make us take pause or it must be rooted in truth. I believe this is satire rooted in truth.

“[People in the plastics industry] are very happy for us to look at ourselves and at each other, and not look at them,” says @bethgardiner.bsky.social, author of "Plastic Inc: Big Oil, Big Money and the Plan to Trash our Future."
‘They pushed so many lies about recycling’: the fight to stop big oil pumping billions more into plastics
Plastic production has doubled over the last 20 years – and will likely double again. For author Beth Gardiner, metal water bottles and canvas tote bags are not the solution. So what is?

My latest for @religiondispatches.org on Rubio’s nod to far right calls for an end to the remembrance of Nazi crimes: That a right-wing revisionist narrative is being echoed by the US State Dept as they attempt to build a global ethno-nationalist alliance is a harbinger of what’s to come

To my knowledge, no ICE Enforcement and Removal officer has ever been shot by an immigrant.

Might be wrong but I don’t think so.
"Three federal immigration agents accidentally shot themselves in the leg during routine training exercises within two days last year, according to internal documents reviewed by Newsweek."

“Black History Month is sometimes treated as little more than an opportunity for corporate branding and, maybe, school assemblies,” @adamhsays.com argues. But “observing it this February feels radical”:

Who here can still afford coffee? Meat? Tropical fruit? Who still has health care? Who can afford gas?
And on our tax dollars they live like kings and queens, sneering at us, insulting and injuring us, padding their pockets. Hiding on military bases because they fear consequences. As they should.

Wow
ICE Barbie and her current boyfriend sure do enjoy the little luxuries as they jet around to oversee their Gestapo agents and concentration camps.
Meanwhile, thousands of kids are locked up, people continue to be abducted, and ICE murderers remain unprosecuted.
Our tax $ hard at work.

The 737 MAX 8 BBJ is an addition to 2 new Gulfstream G700's that Noem says she needs for her personal transport as DHS Secretary. Other G700 owners include Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. The US Gov't operates G550-derived jets across USAF, Navy, Coast Guard and other depts. bsky.app/profile/trav...
The 737 was purchased by DHS from the Fertitta Brothers of UFC fame, who also appeared in the latest batch of Epstein docs released. Believe it or not that paint job is an upgrade from what was there before. www.jetphotos.com/photo/11680322

MAGAs took no time at all hitting the hog trough of taxpayer provided luxury. A steroid and wax-filler puffy lips clown and a hard-core blonde bimbo prolly go thru more taxpayer monies than a kid at Disney w/ their parent's credit card.

Remember THIS when you pay your hard-earned money this year to FELON Trump's corrupt federal government. Instead of your tax money going towards educating your children, cancer cures for your grandma or protecting your family, it's going towards the Kristi Noem/Corey Lewandowski flying sex nest.

Now HHS wants to build its own World Health Organization that will cost exponentially more than the U.S.'s contribution to the WHO.

After leaving WHO, Trump officials propose more expensive replacement to duplicate it
HHS proposes spending $2 billion a year to re-create systems the U.S. accessed through the WHO at a fraction of the cost, according to officials briefed on the matter.
