Teach Honest History

What an appalling, wasteful and destructive boondoggle. This from the hypocritical jerks who claim they want to save taxpayer money.

Telling a group of generals there’s “an enemy within”—basically meaning the left – that must be “brought under control”? That’s straight fascist stuff.

Jimmy Kimmel to return to Sinclair's ABC affiliates Friday The company claimed its decision to preempt the show was "independent of any government interaction or influence."

JUST IN: Jimmy Kimmel to return to Sinclair's ABC affiliates Friday

BUT... will the show be aired on any/all of the stations owned by TEGNA or Sinclair? IIRC, ABC only owns eight local stations outright. Sinclair in particular has demanded an apology from Kimmel AND a donation to Turning Point USA.

My fucking god

Interesting. When I read this I immediately thought of the way some men in prison adapt to the absence of women. But here the imprisonment is purely a state of mind.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income.

A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income.

Who agrees it’s time to scrap the cap?

A better way to express this is to say that a person making $176,000 pays $10,918 into social security each year. A billionaire also pays in $10,918 each year and not a penny more.

Nazi Judge sides with Nazi Dictator. Fixed your headline @apnews.com.

Nice thought but I think cooling systems dominate the roof structure.

If we must have large #datacenters springing up like mushrooms, wouldn't it be great if the builders commissioned local #artists to design & paint interesting #murals on those huge walls? Right now most of them are ugly brutes. Cost of art would be pocket change to these huge ventures. #AI

A dumb fuck indeed.

Yeah, you've got a point there. That's before a lot of us realized how dead blind stupid and/or hateful a really large segment of the voting public is.

Please God let this be true. The comic relief provided by having that clueless buffoon Eric Trump as a candidate would be priceless.

Two bees are seen among the yellow stamens of a water lily with white petals. The bee at the top is upright, while the bee at the bottom of the photo is upside-down and has its legs wrapped around two stamens.

"You take the high road and I'll take the low road." Two #bees using different styles work the center of a water lily. The lower bee seemed quite comfortable hanging down from those stamens. Reston, Virginia, USA. 25-Aug-2025. #insects #insectphotography #flowerphotography #naturephotography

A skipper butterfly hovers above and to the right near a single pinkish-purple flower in the center of the photo. A large clearwing moth has just flown in and is near the left side of the photo.

That skipper was having a lovely time enjoying that flower until that great big clearwing #moth came over to spoil the party. Lake Fairfax Park, Reston, Virginia, USA 25-Aug-2025. #butterfly #insects #insectphotography #naturephotography

A moth is perched on a purplish-pink flower against a green background. The moth is a variegated orange and brown.

This #butterfly was enjoying a flower at Lake Fairfax Park in Reston, Virginia, USA 23AUG25. It might be a Delaware skipper but there are so many types that look rather similar to my untrained eye. Can any #entemologist types help me out? #insects #insectphotography #naturephotography

A dragonfly perching at about a 45 degree angle on a green leaf. The dragonfly's body is mostly a light grayish blue, but the head is dark green. The out-of-focus background is a neutral gray.

Lucky to get an eye-level shot of a male eastern pondhawk #dragonfly. To me the neutral gray backdrop (more luck, no Photoshop gimmickry) helps give it a nice art illustration look. Lake Fairfax Park, Reston, Virginia, USA. 25-Aug-2025. #insects #insectphotography #naturephotography #inverts

A monarch butterfly perching on a leaf, rendered in a monochromatic (B&W) image.

My conventional brain says bright colors are a major part of what makes a #butterfly attractive. But then I was just fooling around with #B&W and came up with this. The shape, lines and patterns are pleasing, no? #photography #monochrome #naturephotography

UTAH… this is not a game…

A monarch butterfly seen from the side and slightly above, with its wings spread wide. It is resting on a green leaf and there is other out-of-focus green foliage in the background.

Just a wee monarch #butterfly to cheer up a dreary Monday. Sterling, Virginia, USA. 14-August-2025. #insect #insects #insectphotography #naturephotography

A monarch butterfly seen from the side but slightly turned toward the camera. The butterfly has its wings spread halfway and has landed atop a cluster of small purplish-pink flowers with thin green leaves. The background is out-of-focus green foliage.

A monarch butterfly seen from the side resting amidst a clump of bright yellow-green leaves and pink flowers. The butterfly is in focus but most of the flowers are very soft creating a dream-like appearance.

JD Crowe: My cartoon about Moms for Liberty vultures ruffled some feathers, so here’s another one A vote for any of these hand-picked 'Klanned Karenhood' candidates is a vote against our library. A vote against our community.

Satire and mockery are powerful tools to resist #tyranny, #authoritarianism, and #christo-fascism (which has no resemblance to authentic Christianity). Here is an absolutely brilliant example. "Klanned Karenhood" FTW! #USAPol www.al.com/politics/202...

Your feeble attempt to defend Trump's authoritarian takeover of DC was nauseating. Trump's theatrical deployments of federal agents and troops will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to reduce crime in DC. You should join your MSNBC colleagues in denouncing Trump's hyperbolic exaggeration of crime in DC.

I've lived in #Washington #DC area 50 yrs & can assure you that #Trump 's militaristic foray into policing is total #authoritarian bullshit. Actual crime is down. Yes there are bad neighborhoods where crime is too high esp after dark. This nonsense won't help and is very unpopular with the locals.
