The National Guard needs to have a babysitter, so they don't get hurt. This is not what National Guard Members signed up for, yet here we are today. They are being forced to act as police officers. The starting pay for DC cops is 80K, Guard Members start pay: 24K or LESS!

Reviewing account locations on X shows the value of transparency in digital communication. It’s hard to pretend to be an American when you’re posting from Russia.

I would call Pete Hegseth a war criminal, but we aren’t at war. He’s just a mass murderer.

In case you thought you were safe bc you aren't one of his currently identified enemies to kidnap and deport, take a look at this line:

"and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country..."

No one is safe when a bully is in charge.

“Quiet piggy”

“You’re ugly inside and out”

“Are you stupid? Are you a stupid person?”

This is how the President speaks to female journalists.

The men in the room need to stand up for their colleagues.

Demand better.

Don’t let him demean women this way.

Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent.

She didn't want to deploy to D.C.

"She hated it. She cried about it."

But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.

May she rest in peace.

Yes, who is more likely to regard the sacrifice of people as abhorrent than those who follow a religion centered on celebrating the sacrifice of a person?

Heavy-industry sectors like cement have long struggled to decarbonise because their processes require very high temperatures.

That’s why the new Rondo Energy heat-battery project in Thailand is such a big deal - powering a cement plant with low-carbon steam.

Imagine showing a petrol engine to someone who had only known electric vehicles, and trying to convince them to switch to petrol. No-one would choose the dirty, noisy, less efficient, more expensive vehicle. This isn't 1910, hostage to gender insecurity. We can just choose the better tech.

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

Only reading the Observer article now, about a former Irish comic who is obsessed with being anti-trans, by an anti-trans journo. The journo >tries< to present the comic in a good light. Comic says self cert was brought in, in Ireland, in 2015 ‘with no debate’. In fact it was debated for 23 years!*
