🚨 Israeli Minister Ben Gvir:
“Gaza’s children are not innocent — they’re a delayed threat that must be eliminated.”

This is genocide in plain words.

Feel like its a bad sign about the health of the republic that Pritzker has to talk about TX Dems like they’re the Polish government-in-exile in London

I am so sick of this shit. Keep pushing people out of their goddam jobs with subpar "AI" integrations but still expecting those same people to somehow stay paying into fucking capitalism to buy the, again, increasingly worse "AI"-infused shit. I hate it so much.

Cheyenne to host data center using more electricity than all state homes A massive AI data center proposed near Cheyenne, Wyoming, would use more electricity than all homes in the state combined. Mayor Patrick Collins calls it a

Honestly what is even the point of individual effort on climate anymore? I can conserve all I want but these fuckwads come in and open an AI (that nobody needs) data center that will use more power than the entire state put together.

a round olive oil cake dusted with powdered sugar with writer James Baldwin stenciled into the center. the stencil was a gift from a friend and I can no longer find the maker on the internet

Neighbor texted: Do you have a 6 inch spring form pan?

Me: No, only 9 inch for my James Baldwin chocolate olive oil cake.

Neighbor: ????

Me:

It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.

"We will literally never come back from where we are now" is simply a true statement abundantly supported by all of the relevant science. Sugar-coating the truth is no way to inspire the required sense of urgency. Nor is shitting on someone doing the real work.

For years, Dave's been a clearer analytic mind forecasting both climate and politics than just about anyone I know. We won't fight well, or channel our actions in useful directions, if we refuse to look squarely at and grapple with bearish assessments by the smartest people.

Oh do f*ck off.

The civil service can not recover from this without legal and criminal consequences for Trump, Musk and Republican members of Congress who let it happen.

A couple “good” election cycles won’t cut it.

Canadians' health data at risk of being handed over to U.S. authorities, experts warn | CBC News Canadians' electronic health records need more protections to prevent foreign entities from accessing patient data, according to commentary in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

It's apparently a problem if Canadians have TikTok because the Chinese government might see their dance moves, but no one bats an eye when Canadians' health data is stored on US-owned servers and subject to American laws. www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

What Anne Hidalgo and the Paris administration has time to improve life in Paris for people and (not just for car drivers) is little short of miraculous. It shows how important it is to push through temporary and misplaced resistance for the benefit of health, happiness, clean air and reduced noise.

A system that allows a convicted criminal rapist tyrannical traitor to gain full totalitarian control of the U.S. govt without so much as a guardrail in place to protect us from him and his deranged destructive immoral corrupt agenda is a highly flawed and broken system.

What an embarrassment. It’s wild that the official position of the US Government is now pro-Nazi.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Weak statement. There is nothing to "work with." WH press corps should stand as one against this suppression of a free press and say to Trump all or none.

The new Jan 6 heroes shrine is going to be amazing

This is serious. Very serious.

There are people in this administration who are truly morons and others who believe they need to act like morons to stay in the leader's good favor, and at a certain point it doesn't matter which group they're in

The WaPa headline says: 60,000 Gazans were killed. 18,500 of them were children. These are some of their names. Then follows an enormous list of small print names

Thousands of small print names interspersed with some photos of some of the child victims

NEW: 18,500 children have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza.

The Washington Post has just published every single known name.

A seminal moment.

Eugenics in everything. Fuck the NYT.

60 years ago today Medicare was signed into law. It prevented poor seniors from dying of treatable illnesses

Now the “Big Beautiful Bill” guts healthcare & throws us backward. MAGA cheers while cashing in on the very socialism that saves mee-maw & pop-pop

They're not patriots. They're parasites.

reupping this piece, since the seat that Emil Bove just filled could have been filled by Adeel Mangi last year

UnitedHealth is accused of:
- defrauding customers and taxpayers out of tens of billions of dollars
- using AI to deny claims with a 90% error rate
- denying customers life saving care

👆🏻 their fraud, your denied claims and medical debt are their profits

Demand Medicare for All

Bove is going to be the new Clarence Thomas, but worse (until he gets elevated): A petulant, vindictive asshole who is going to use the bench to make up for his moral emptiness and deep sense of inadequacy

Alley cats don't do evil that evil may come.

Mamdani in 2022: After at least 2,251 Palestinians were killed over the course of July 2014, Hakeem Jeffries got on stage at a rally in NYC and paraphrased George Wallace. “Israel today, Israel tomorrow, Israel forever.” If Jeffries is considered a progressive, the term has lost all meaning.

Hakeem Jeffries is cooked.

"you" (as in the US) did not take Berlin.
It was the Soviet Red Army.
They raped thousands of civilians in the city.

That your plan, Lindsey?
