See? Trump is what happens when people don’t care. They don’t care if he lies, cheats, steals, rapes, breaks the law, or makes a gazillion dollars while in office. They wouldn’t care if he’s a pedophile, or if he shot someone in the middle of NYC. He’s their retribution. Period. Right Megyn Kelly?

@radiofreetom.bsky.social at #TAF25l: Donald Trump’s use of the military as his “personal militia” is “everything George Washington feared about what the U.S. military could become.”

Trump has made America irrelevant again. Our former allies manage us rather than follow us, and enemies like Russia and China that Trump claims to influence openly laugh at our country. Republicans must be so proud that they are causing the destruction of our country.

Dozens of scientists find errors in a new Energy Department climate report More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.

Let's be clear what this image represents.

Those skull masks were first popularized on the far right by a very specific Nazi terror movement that began on the pro-terror Ironmarch forums and entered mainstream news with the Atomwaffen Nazi terrorist murders.

Cherry-picked ocean data does not prove climate change is a hoax Misleading claims that ocean surface temperatures show global warming isn't happening are based on selected short-term data.

Indeed.
The fallacy here is equating "you shouldn't automatically assume someone is right because they're a subject matter expert" (fair enough) with "you should automatically assume someone is wrong because they're a subject matter expert" (laughably absurd).

Happy birthday to Alex Lifeson, born on this day in 1953 in Fernie, BC!
As the guitarist for Rush, he has been with the band since 1968. He is the only bandmember to have stayed with the band for its entire existence. An asteroid is named for him and he has the Order of Canada.
