...and less than 24 hours later Condé Nast has fired Lex and the rest of the Teen Vogue political desk, even as stories like this were bringing huge numbers of readers to the site

P.S. No one is scared of a socialist when we have literal Nazis working in the White House...

The powers that be couldn't handle political reporting from a magazine geared for young people.

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.

Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.

Although I am a sample size of one, I will say that I focus on and read books much less now that I have this device in my hand. I also noticed that when I went to school back in the 1970s and 1980s, my best subjects were the ones with the heaviest homework. No computers yet.

The wealth of the richest 1% in America just hit a record $52 trillion. These are the people getting huge tax cuts — paid for by cuts to health care for millions of Americans. Every lie Trump and Republicans are telling right now about the shutdown is meant to distract you from this.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Tell me how ICE is different from the Gestapo?

Shout out to rural America - ya'll can rest easy that they won't be doing gender switch-a-roos in your hospitals or having kids use litter boxes in your schools because turns out, thanks to the big beautiful bill, you won't have hospitals or schools.

Map depicting predicted 500mb GPH anomalies from ECMWF model. The offshore low can be seen here, depicted as light blue colors amid a sea of red (i.e., otherwise above average GHP/warmer than average airmass).

G.O.P. Bill Adds Surprise Tax That Could Cripple Wind and Solar Power

It’s weird that the GOP wants China to dominate the future of energy.

Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt's Nazi Staffer Nathan Hochman was fired from the DeSantis campaign for making a transparently neoNazi video featuring the Governor, and has only doubled down on his white nationalism since.

Pretty galling that we're still the only place that's reported on this. We're not even a news outlet! www.liberalcurrents.com/missouri-sen...

Big corporations will use any cover they can — like inflation or tariffs — to pad profits and line their pockets at workers expense.

Know the truth.

Wow, if this isn't Orwellian Newspeak, what is?
