Ukrainian drones hit the LPDS Armavir oil product pipeline hub, a facility used to pump fuel through a main pipeline, store it in tank farms and ship it by rail.

“This data belongs to the American people, who need to know what is being done in their name. Donald Trump, Russell Vought, Doug Burgum, and the rest of this corrupt administration are trying to use your public lands to erase history and undermine science.” Link to data: archive.org/details/nps-...

The database, along with additional internal files, was posted online this week on two publicly accessible websites. The records outline the scope of items identified for review. The website states:

Leaked documents (including a database) reveal that hundreds of signs, exhibits, films, and other materials were flagged for review under a Trump administration order.

Out shopping with my son! Have a great Saturday everyone!

A pencil illustration of Hades and Persephone. The two are embracing, with Hades appearing sad and Persephone reassuring. Crocuses bloom in the foreground, and Persephone's hair is also full of blossoming crocuses; both a sign of the approaching spring, which perhaps is why Hades is sad. It's time for Persephone to return to the upper world!

I got this drawing of Hades and Persephone finished up today as well. I'll adjust the color and contrast in photoshop and get it printed on watercolor paper to start painting! 😊 (I also see a few proportional issues to fix before proceeding 🤨)

"I spoke to a former schoolteacher, who started his own business. He says he can no longer compete with these Mexican imports despite providing a higher quality product. I'm fighting for small businessmen like Walter White."

Trump: Is Rubio better in Spanish?

Hegseth: I only speak American

Russia assisted Iran in killing six US service members in Kuwait. Everyone is pissed off about it except Trump.

If recent evaluations carry the most weight under the new system and those evaluations were issued under guidance that discouraged high ratings the shift would significantly increase the administration’s ability to dismiss federal employees.

Why focus on the three most recent reviews? Last year, agency managers were instructed to avoid issuing top performance ratings and instead assign lower scores more broadly, regardless of actual job performance.

The Trump administration has released a proposal to overhaul the rules that govern federal layoffs a move that would make it easier to carry out sweeping arbitrary terminations across agencies.

There was a choir practicing in the chapter house today, so I sat in there for two hours sketching the scene

Contrarians Combat Trump’s Wrongdoing at Home and Abroad Fighting on all fronts: Publisher's Roundup 57

The Kennedy Center may never recover if Trump demolishes it

Congress ordered it be a living memorial to a slain president

Trump is defying that order — & it’s blatantly illegal

We’re in court to stop it

My publisher’s note on @contrariannews.org 👇 -TN

Andrew Parsons should be forced to resign for this morally obtuse statement. He should probably be investigated for corrupt links to the russian state. The russian team he allowed to compete includes a frigging shooter and someone who served in the division that occupied Kyiv region (i.e. Bucha)!

It's definitely coming from a small group of specific commanders. I think this is fucking with a lot of people's heads tho because it just doesn't make sense from the POV of being an officer and trying to digest it. There's a certain way things are done and none of that was followed.

Worth watching the whole clip, but purely in propaganda terms it seems to me, admittedly just an amateur observer when it comes to war fighting, that it may be useful to send the message to the 91+ million Iranian civilians that we are not trying to kill them.

The U.S. unexpectedly loses 92,000 jobs, adding to worries about the economy The job market showed further signs of weakness last month as employers cut 92,000 jobs. The unemployment rate inched up to 4.4%, from 4.3% in January.

Iran provides Russia with drones and ballistic missiles. It's a very important ally to Putin. This is why Ukraine is willing to help. Fighting Iran is fighting Russia.

You know how American intelligence was pretty excited to do to the USSR in Afghanistan what Soviet intelligence did to the US in Vietnam?

“Secretary Noem’s departure does not change the underlying crisis at DHS…Swapping out one political appointee for another will not undo the damage being inflicted on families and communities across the country,” said our Executive Director Chioma Chukwu.

❗️Basra Police have confirmed that a US aircraft crashed within the province, with security forces launching a search operation for the pilot, who was seen ejecting near the Iraqi-Iranian border. Shia groups are also reported to be searching the area. #Iraq

This ghoul has finally been fired. But make no mistake, Stephen Miller is still in charge of DHS and especially ICE.

Zelensky has done everything he possibly can to satisfy this admin while he fights a war of survival for his people. And the Trump admin has done nothing but repeatedly treat him with disrespect, scorn & ridicule. 2 days ago, Trump called him “PT Barnum.” This is how Z responds.

True colors. The IAEA Board of Governors passed a resolution condemning attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure as a nuclear safety threat, with the US voting against alongside Russia, China and Niger. 20 voted in favor, 10 abstained, 4 opposed. #Ukraine
