He was also demanding the full release of the Epstein files just a week or two before he was killed. Funny how that works…

Once again, a single cartoon tells more truth that the entire US Congress.

Thanks to Rick McKee for making our current situation easy to understand.

I heard they also painted a boundary on the pavement for the lions to stay inside of

The Internet has little sympathy for Dubai's tax-dodging influencers Brits in Dubai headed to the slave-built hellhole to avoid tax - but now they need rescuing they want the British government to come get them

Fossil fuels are the currency of both climate change and terrorism.

If the primary responsibility of government is the health and safety of its citizens…

Lobbyists for the fossil fuel industry wouldn’t be in the halls of congress…

THEY’D BE IN JAIL.

Mideast war exposes fragile oil, gas dependency As in 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine, the new war in the Middle East is exposing once again how far Europe and others lag in replacing imported fossil fuels with domestic solar and wind power, speci...

Good piece from @afp.com on the longer-term lessons for European energy re: Iran crisis.

"Only by reducing structural dependence on oil and LNG imports can Europe durably shield its economy from recurrent external shocks."

Literally a death cult.

Those "Christians" wouldn't recognize Jesus if He walked up and introduced Himself.

It is logically impossible to believe that you are in God's small select group of chosen beloved and that everyone else is rightfully doomed to eternal torture without on some level not caring what happens to those other people.

It's a genocide theology.

Mass extinction? The planet destroyed?

That's how you get your gated forever community.

It's a genocide theology. It's an apocalypse cult. It sold a billion copies of a book series called Left Behind.

It's running our government.

It should be much more at the forefront of our minds, the extent to which the most politically activated and politically empowered segment of the authoritarian American cult calling itself "Christian" see the apocalypse as something to hasten, not prevent.

We need lots of these and similar all round the country to counter the media being largely captured by RW rhetoric.

Hegseth must be drunk. The White House, ICE, and Oberfuhrer Stephen Miller are not in Iran.

BTW one of my favorite parts of this is that if the foundations object to their empirical portrayal here, they can just speak up loud and clear and say “we love DEI!”

The Retreat from DEI: The Impact of Legal and Political Developments on DEI Language in U.S. Private Foundations Following the murder of George Floyd in 2020, large private foundations in the United States widely adopted language related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) on their public-facing websites. In 2023, a series of legal and political developments began reversing the institutional pressures that had encouraged this adoption: first the Supreme Court’s ruling in Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College (2023), then state-level anti-DEI legislation, and culminating in President Trump’s Executive Order 14151 (2025). Using the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, we constructed a longitudinal corpus of 3,612 archived web pages from thirteen large U.S. private foundations and tracked the frequency of sixty-seven DEI-related terms from 2019 to 2025. Among the nine foundations with data in both years, a Wilcoxon signed-rank test indicates a decline from 2023 to 2025 (one-sided p = .029, two-sided p = .059), with median usage falling approximately 40 percent. The decline was broad-based across many terms. These patterns are consistent with coercive isomorphism: the same process that drove widespread, convergent adoption of DEI language after 2020 now appears to be reversing it. The findings establish an empirical baseline for tracking how political pressure reshapes organizational communication about equity.

🚨What if some intrepid students and I decided to see if private foundations' public stances on justice were thin enough to fold under anti-DEI pressure? We tracked their website language using Wayback Machine. The retreat is real and it seems political vibes alone supercharged it. osf.io/29gda_v1

That’s not a plan, that’s a mental illness…

It’s best not to try to rationalise abject stupidity.
There is no plan.

There seems to be a key problem in killing off Iran’s leadership and forcing its power base (and military) to adopt a leaderless cell structure to avoid decapitation: When the US finally grows tired of bombing, who can they negotiate with?

Israeli forces arrest CNN Türk journalist and crew during live broadcast in Tel Aviv to prevent filming of Iranian missile strikes.

Except it will continue to spin out of control. Even if Trump backs out, it doesn’t mean Iran, Hezbollah, or other parties drawn in will stop. Once you start a war, you own it.

It’s already a done deal whether we continue to attack or not. American citizens will be the victims of attacks for years to come as a result of Trump’s war.

MAGA White House will soon find out they are not calling the shots when this conflict ends....they started something they can't control.

And about Vance's framing: Trump "is not going to LET his country go to war"? They want us to think THAT's where we are – OTHER PEOPLE pressed us to go to war against Iran, and Trump LET IT happen? That's a heckuva framing for the Commander in Chief and President Donald J Trump.

These are the morons who would destroy the entire planet in the name of their so called god. They are indoctrinated with their ‘christian’ self righteousness and are blind to the evil of their ways. Truly disgusting & terrifying.
