As authoritarian indicators accelerate, The Steady State cautions that senior officers may face decisions of profound consequence. This moment calls for those in uniform and in the IC to HOLD FAST to law, duty, and constitutional obligations.

THIS IS NOT A DEMOCRAT HOAX!!!

IT IS A REPUBLICAN MESS & A DISRESPECT TO ABUSE VICTIMS EVERYWHERE!

Bet that Frump only signs off on the bill IF it only includes Democrats!

FRUMP is too busy today to care because he is hosting another dictator at the people's White house!

Counting the days! ...

Can methane cuts pull us back from the brink of climate breakdown? With temperatures breaching the Paris limit, experts say tackling the powerful gas could buy crucial time as the clean-energy shift stalls

“Methane emissions across the supply chain are a key indicator of poor environmental and operational practices in the fossil fuel industry. Reducing [them] in the energy sector is the most effective and rapid way to cut greenhouse gases in the short term.”

Oh, @davidpepperoh.bsky.social.
You truly were The Oracle.
If only people had listened.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Jared Kushner advised Saudi Crown Prince MBS on how to “weather the storm” after his hit squad slaughtered American journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

KEEP SHARING YOUR STORIES about increased ACA premiums due to the disappearance of subsidies. The stories clearly are having an impact, they help people feel less helpless, and they create solidarity that leads to action.

Mine went from $395→ $821. What happened for you?

The brutal yuletide assaults haven’t come from Atheists or Agnostics, not from Humanists or Muslims, or from the Liberal Media or Progressive Christians or the mythical Woke Mob.

The very white Conservatives who’ve been loudly sounding the alarm are the incessantly advancing hordes.

I mean jesus christ, it was not that long ago that "papers please" was damn near universally accepted as a 2-word shorthand for the kind of oppressive society that we beat our chests over being better than

Pardoned Capitol Rioter Tried to Hush Child Sex Victim With Promise of Jan. 6 Reparation Money, Police Say Pardoned Capitol rioter Andrew Johnson tried to keep a child sex abuse victim quiet with claimed $10 million Jan. 6 reparations, police say.

This story from @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social, captures how the impunity Jan6ers believe they had LED DIRECTLY to Andrew Paul Johnson sexually abusing young children.

The Epstein stuff reveals that our elites are so insulated and powerful that they can do anything, but it doesn’t stop with this abuse. That same mindset is what leads to these terrible wars, government that leaves people to starve and die unnecessary deaths.

It’s a systemic failure.

My guess is there will be no bombshell re: Trump because the investigations into Ds ordered by dumbfuck will be an excuse for Blondie to rope docs with DJT’s name into those piles.

“Sorry, these papers are part of an ongoing investigation.”

I’m fine with bringing down those Ds who are guilty but…

it's enormously telling that Karen Attiah, Mehdi Hassan, Joy Reid are not currently employed in mainstream media, but Olivia Nuzzi is treated like an irreplaceable asset by multiple outlets.

It’s truly bananas we’re expected to go about our lives eating lunch and putting on pants like the President isn’t a well documented child sex predator who was best friends with the king of child sex predators

This comes hours, weeks and months after multiple business deals were announced between the Saudi global wealth fund and Trump Org worth several billion dollars. The Saudis are one of the Trump family’s biggest business partners.

The Republican Attack on Public Education Dismantling the Department of Education and pouring taxpayer dollars into private schools.

Jeffrey Epstein’s emails reveal a disdain for morality among the elite | Moira Donegan Epstein paints Trump as someone he knew intimately. But the documents also reveal how many powerful men confided in him

Of course, this is one of the arguments we atheists have made for generations. Morals, religion, etc., is all a means of control.

Racial Resentment Among White Americans by Birth Year and Demographics This figure presents the same four-panel layout (education, gender, geography, religion) but for White Americans from birth years 1940 to 2000. Education panel: A pronounced divide shows non-college Whites with substantially higher resentment across all cohorts, increasing sharply for older birth years. College-educated Whites rise more modestly but remain distinctly lower, especially among younger cohorts. Gender panel: Male and female trendlines rise together, with women slightly higher in mid-century cohorts. Younger cohorts of both genders start lower and climb with age. Geography panel: Regional lines separate clearly: the South is highest in resentment, followed by the Midwest. The West and Northeast show lower levels, with the Northeast consistently at the bottom. All regions slope upward toward older cohorts. Religion panel: Protestants show the highest resentment, peaking among mid-century cohorts. Catholics sit in the middle. Non-affiliated Whites show the lowest resentment, especially among younger respondents, with a small rise among mid-century generations. The figure notes CES 2024 data with GAM-smoothed trendlines.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

If the parties were reversed here, we’d currently be blanketed with ads and speeches detailing all the crimes that were later committed by people who assaulted police but were pardoned by the president.

Think Willie Horton, but true, and a much larger scale and, uh, not racist?

Oregon literally banned freed slaves and black ppl from living or owning property in the state.

Ofc they didn't do this by passing a law.

THEY PUT IT IN THE STATE CONSTITUTION.
OREGON WAS FOUNDED TO BE A WHITE ETHNOSTATE.

We vote blue but when we amended the const. to remove this, 29% voted no.

It’s pretty simple.

When you do a huge armed midnight raid on an apartment building rounding up and terrorizing children and later find out there were no criminals there everyone involved resigns in shame and we have loud showy Congressional hearings.

Florida grandfather, born in refugee camp, nabbed by ICE after 70 years in U.S. Paul Bojerski never gained official residency, but he checked in regularly with ICE for years. Then in July, at age 79, he was detained and sent to Alligator Alcatraz.

AMERICA TODAY!!!

FUCK YOU @Sec_Noem!!! FUCK YOU @ICEgov!!! FUCK YOU @GovRonDeSantis!!! FUCK YOU TO THIS ADMINISTRATION.

If you voted for this and are ok with this, please help it make sense. If you are appalled by this, VOTE THE ENABLERS OUT I 2026.

Having spent the last 3 years working on prep for RevWar250, to include researching, writing, publishing, digital history, event planning, etc etc…I am sad to say that I am somewhat dreading Ken Burns’ treatment of that era and conflict

One, I’m simply tired of the RevWar. And maybe disillusioned.

Dark forces are preventing us fighting the climate crisis – by taking knowledge hostage | George Monbiot The fundamental problem is this: that most of the means of communication are owned or influenced by the very rich, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The clubby rich pedophile world they're so sad to see gone isn't even "lost" or "gone," it's alive and well in the White House.

Part of how it got there was by the NYTimes running interference for Trump while sitting on the story of a pedophile telling one of its reporters he could ruin Trump.

It's a revealing moment...

J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost.

The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.
