A map, a myth and a pre-Incan lagoon: the man who brought water back to a drought-ridden town When historian Galo Ramón uncovered a long-forgotten pre-Incan water system in Ecuador, he set about restoring it, and helped transform the landscape and livelihoods

I love this story

June 13, 2025 Two hundred and fifty years ago, on June 14, 1775, the Second Continental Congress resolved “That six companies of expert riflemen, be immediately raised in Pennsylvania, two in Maryland, and two in V...

RFK Jr now going after ALL vaccines.

He argues that the Covid vaccine (which he’s restricted) was the only one that had proper safety testing.

He says they “dysregulate the immune system”.

Get your boosters. He’s setting the stage for “natural immunity” where only “the strong survive”

Eugenics.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Sound familiar?

Seen this going around but I’m
Reposting it with the full alt text bc everyone deserves to read this glorious reply from Boy George

this is the sort of thing people like aaron and myself see all the time and we understand the msm is sanewashing him, as the great @parkermolloy.com noted, when they clean all this up and present him like he's a normal boy.

for example, look at the ap report and compare it to the absolute shit

Dr. Phil is embedded--as a bloodsucking tick might be embedded on a yellow dog with an ICE collar.

This is becoming absurd—federal employees are now being told to remove pronouns from their email signatures. We will always stand by our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, no matter how many things we’re asked to delete or change. Inclusivity is at the core of who we are.

Tweet reading: Have cancer outcomes improved since all this money was allocated to cancer research?

It's absurd how much people take modern medicine for granted

For much of human history, cancer was largely just a death sentence.

By the 1970s, overall, it was about a coinflip, roughly 50/50 chance of surviving it.

Now, about 80% of people who get cancer survive at least 5 years. That's amazing!

Rhode Island folks: please light up the lines to tell Whitehouse this is not what you voted for, and that Kennedy would be a terrible choice.

Why the fuck is a single Senate Democrat playing “everything is normal” by voting to confirm the Cabinet picks of a fucking dictator?

Do. Not. Comply.
You have ALL spent the last how many years calling him Hitler and now you’re like, ‘I’m a yes on Goebbels and here’s why…”

Fuck that.
Stop it. Now.

Rep. Jason Crow on Biden's pardons: "You have an incoming president and those around him who are repeatedly threatening his family. That is the story here."

Mike Turner says that when Speaker Johnson ousted him as chair of the intel committee, he told him that "an element included concerns from Mar-a-Lago." (Johnson has denied this, so somebody is lying...)

Turner adds that he's "concerned" about the new direction of the committee.

more like this from top Dems, please

Again, in 2022, Congress passed a law that explicitly made these firings illegal. Are Republican senators unaware of that?

This is the Ben & Jerry’s video that has folks talking and MAGA losing their shit!

We need to support @benandjerrys y’all, because we don’t ever want them to “stick to just the ice cream”. 👀

Go Team ! Keep building that information foundation. I also recommend @hcrichardson.bsky.social ‘s book Democracy Awakening. Go Team! 💙

Shout out to the @thebaltimorebanner.com in this article about new, local journalism.

@marcelias.bsky.social: "There is a reason why Trump nominated Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hegseth. He wants to humiliate these Republicans, because he knows that once they have voted for these folks, he will own them. They will not have a shred of dignity or standing left."

There weren't headlines like this before the election because they wanted Trump to be elected so they could make money writing headlines like this after the election.

Which is exactly why I’m not reading them now.

Fuck all the media who is suddenly super concerned about a tyrannical government

Here's the archived page from last week:

At this point, Teen Vogue is doing a better job of speaking truth to power than any legacy newspaper.

If Trump were to seize Greenland, a NATO member, under the NATO charter, NATO would be compelled to defend. This would either pit America vs NATO or force NATO to back down and dissolve.

This is a Trump-Putin joint effort to destroy NATO together.

There is no such thing as a vaccine skeptic. Vaccine skepticism is simply science denialism and the endorsement of conspiracy theories. The media should stop whitewashing antivaxxers and call them what they truly are. RFK Jr is an anti-vaxxer.
