What if I'd told you in, say, 2010, in the wake of the Iraq War and the subsequent political upheaval: "yeah, not only will we not learn our lesson, not only will none of the people who perpetrated this crime be punished ... we're going to do it all over again! Less than 20 years later!"

The kerfluffle over the hockey teams does make one wonder if the rightwing cares quite as much about women's sports as it's been insisting...

Epstein Files Are Missing Records About Woman Who Made Claim Against Trump

We seem to be nearing the heart of the story, and a lot will depend on the nerve of the journalists--NPR, the NYT, etc--to stay on this story relentlessly. Will they give it the same kind of coverage they gave Biden's age--i.e., full bore, around the clock, 50 opeds?

United Methodists lead witness for immigrants | UMNews.org More than 2,000 people of faith marched around the U.S. Capitol to witness to the Christian faith and to let immigrants know that they do not stand alone.

Here's alt text for this image: **Alt text:** A two-panel comparison graphic. The top panel is titled "Tobacco companies trying to mislead the public" and shows a scanned excerpt from an internal tobacco industry document stating "Doubt is our product since it is the best means of competing with the 'body of fact' that exists in the mind of the general public" — a strategy of manufacturing public controversy despite internal acknowledgment that cigarettes are harmful. The bottom panel is titled "Climate Working Group emails" and shows a text excerpt stating "About all I can hope is that what we write will provide sufficient 'reasonable scientific doubt' regarding the science claims in the 2009 TSD, based upon almost 2 decades of new science, to call into question the original reasoning for the EPA Administrator's decision that CO2 presents a threat to human health and welfare." The juxtaposition draws a parallel between tobacco industry disinformation tactics and the climate denial strategy reflected in the DOE Climate Working Group communications.

spot the difference

Ladies, the SAVE Act is a misogynist piece of garbage bill designed to start killing a woman’s right to vote by a thousand paper cuts. This bill is brought to us by the same tech bros who think women vote for too many social programs, like healthcare. Call your Senators.

Thank you for sharing the information about the GA detention center. We need to keep DHS shut down. Not another damn dime.

Some day we'll all regret this & we'll hold hearings & rend garments & pledge "never again" & we'll be just as full of shit as we were last time.

I think it was a very poor choice to have Trump at the helm while artificial intelligence is emerging.

absolutely.. I had two friends complaining about how medical care they have received recently has increased in cost by almost a factor of 10x. Insulin medication that went from $40 to close to $400. An ER visit copay that went from $100 to $700. The cuts to the ACA tax credits are starting hit us.

Ossoff: "If you live in a major democracy, and the nation's spy chief is showing up at raids on sensitive election sites, something has gone wrong."

With every passing day, the bill known as OBBA passed by Republicans last summer looks more and more dystopian - building an undisciplined paramilitary force to terrorize our communities and an opaque prison system, while giving tax cuts to the billionaire pedophile class…. add what you have seen..

thank you for the news! now, what, only a few thousand more to go?

if you're having a bad day let me make it better for you "prince" andrew got arrested today you're welcome

hey america, if prince andrew can be held accountable so can donald trump

“The white, the Hispanic, the black, the Arab, the Jew, the woman, the native American, the small farmer, the businessperson, the environmentalist, the peace activist, the young, the old, the lesbian, the gay, and the disabled make up the American quilt.” -Jesse Jackson.

“America is not like a blanket—one piece of unbroken cloth, the same color, the same texture, the same size. America is more like a quilt—many patches, many pieces, many colors, many sizes, all woven and held together by a common thread.” 1/2

Trump's Climate Supercomputer Plans Threaten US Insurance Market: Actuaries A new letter from the American Academy of Actuaries draws a direct line between the planned dismantling of NCAR and higher homeowners insurance costs for US consumers.

The American Academy of Actuaries warns that dismantling NCAR would degrade the catastrophe models insurers depend on to price climate risk—driving up premiums and threatening coverage availability nationwide.

US Spent $133,333 for Each Deportation to Third Party Countries The figures from Senate Foreign Relations Committee Democrats average out to a cost of roughly $133,333 per person deported. The report outlines the cost of President Donald Trump’s controversial pol...

All those kids & nurses & mechanics & service workers that we are deporting? It costs us $133,333 a head.

Again: we are spending $133,333 per migrant worker that we deport.

Are tax payers likely to be on the hook for stranded assets? How do we legally shift this burden to those who are currently reaping the profits? Are markets adequately reflecting this risk?

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Over a year in, I would definitely prefer a warm bag of vomit to the current occupant of the White House.

In 2022, the choice was Fetterman (who just had a stroke) or Dr. Oz. The stroke certainly had an impact. However, Fetterman is still better than Dr. Oz who would have been another Republican clone. He will certainly be primaried in 2028.

Pretty much the most important thing happening in the world right now.

The SAVE ACT is a Republican attempt to disenfranchise women from voting. 🤨 #HandsOffHerVote

Gallup Will No Longer Track Presidential Approval Ratings

No one asked Gallup to display special courage in this moment. Just to continue doing what they'd always done.

And that was too much for them.

scooby-doo would have gotten trump and elon arrested for their election fraud and pedophilia by now

I went to an AISC steelmakers conference to network and try to find people who would support a price on carbon. My pitch was that it would benefit cleaner, domestic manufacturing. Nothing but push back against government involvement of any sort - except from the Europeans.
