The last part is what most infuriates me.

Very precarious moment. Important that protests in the targeted areas strictly avoid any circumstances that can be used for propaganda furthering the
jackboots’ aims.

That’s what they want. They will try to provoke. Do not give. Discipline.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

There are days when it can feel like it’s already over and the bad guys won. That’s how they want us to feel. But it isn’t. Not by a long shot. Let’s not make it easy for them.

Portland is a safe city and no one wants the military in their neighborhood.

Deploying federal troops against Americans is dangerous and unconstitutional. It must stop.

The U.S. used to have 400-500 lightning fatalities a year. Globally, we see 24,000 fatalities a year from lightning - many of them occurring at sporting events.

Really shameful to see this on Big Noon Kickoff.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Nexstar, the largest TV broadcaster, needs Donald Trump's approval for a $6 billion deal.

If approved, Nexstar would control TV stations reaching 80% of households β€” violating the cap set by Congress to protect against monopolies.

This censorship of Kimmel reeks of corruption.

Children Plead With U.S. Lawmakers to Protect EPA’s Endangerment Finding - Inside Climate News At a press conference in the Capitol, they made the case for regulating greenhouse gases in the interest of youth and future generations.

Lawmakers, climate advocates, and youth joined forces last week to condemn the EPA's move to repeal the 2009 Endangerment Finding, which is the backbone of greenhouse gas emissions regulation.

Americans have already submitted more than 100,000 public comments in response to the EPA's proposal.

ICE Is Deporting People to Africa on Nearly Un-Trackable Military Flights Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is deporting people to African countries like Ghana on military flights that are nearly un-trackable.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable.

This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed.

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

PBS & NPR educated the masses… their funding was cut

Colbert rightfully called out a bribe… he was cancelled

Kimmel said that MAGA were working hard to say the Kirk shooter wasn’t one of them… he gets suspended

A Fox News host calls for mass killing of homeless people… and keeps his job

Fascism.

Amazon is probably even more important. Bezos bought WaPo to kneecap and trash it. He paid $250 million. He paid $500 million for his *yacht* Koru, not including the operating cost (abou 10% /yr) or the $75 million support craft Abeona. WaPo is just pocket change.

The Governor of Utah, Spencer Cox, just said, "For the last 33 hours, I had been praying that this person (who murdered Charlie Kirk) was from another country. That he was not one of us because we are not like that. But it was one of us."

Four polar stereographic maps showing Arctic near-surface air temperature anomalies for the month of September in 1985-1994, 1995-2004, 2005-2014, and 2015-2024. Most all areas are observing long-term warming, which is largest at the edges of the Arctic Ocean on the Atlantic and Pacific facing marginal seas.

Most all areas are observing long-term warming, which is largest at the edges of the Arctic Ocean on the Atlantic and Pacific facing marginal seas.

Changes in September temperatures in the #Arctic by decade. The largest warming is co-located with areas of melting sea ice, such as the along the Eurasian coast.

Hey everyone...LOOK OVER HERE! It's Lt. Col. Bone Spurs declaring war on an American city!!! Does his rough tough cream-puff cosplay make you forget about the EPSTEIN survivors, their lifetime of trauma & their courage to speak the truth in public?

Yeah, me neither.
