I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

I love that we live in a world where we're all supposed to now praise Trump for his peace-making and ignore the fact that at least 20,000 Palestinians have been killed on his watch, with bombs & bullets - & rhetorical support! - that he supplied to Israel.
That's all erased now.

If you’re not alarmed yet you’re not paying attention. 🇺🇸

Did anyone else see this today and wonder wtf happened?

Oopsie, Stephen.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I'm an incredibly stubborn thing so if there was any way to will one's self into a different sexual orientation I'd have stopped being attracted to men 3 decades ago. Alas, it doesn't work that way!

More importantly, free speech does not mean you get to base patients' treatments on your religion!

💯

Also, how bizarre is it that MSM is no longer covering these things?

Can they even call themselves legitimate reporters/journalists?

The entire country should be watching every bit of these protests.

We're in the upside-down.

Israel accused of detaining Greta Thunberg in infested cell and making her hold flags Activist tells Swedish officials she has been subjected to harsh treatment, including insufficient food and water

Lorenzo D’Agostino, a journalist and another flotilla participant, said after returning to Istanbul that Thunberg was “wrapped in the Israeli flag and paraded like a trophy” – a scene described with disbelief and anger by those who witnessed it.

Randal Plunkett: ‘I was destined to become Baron of Dunsany, and I hated it’

The 21st Baron of Dunsany has dedicated a third of his Co Meath estate to Ireland’s first vegan rewilding project, abandoning intensive farming and chemicals

🚨🚨 My dear friend and fellow academic, the Palestinian American sociologist @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social has been taken by the Cook County Sheriff near Chicago. They have not mirandized her. Please signal boost. All eyes on Broadview for Eman and the community she was defending 🚨🚨

IMAGINE SENDING 20 WARSHIPS TO INTERCEPT BOATS CARRYING MILK POWDER AND BABY FORMULA FOR STARVING CHILDREN. THIS IS THE GREATEST EVIL EXISTING IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW!!!!!

Opinion | The moment I knew the world would try to move on from Jamal Khashoggi I could see it coming at Time’s 2018 Person of the Year celebration.

The Saudi government murdered Jamal Khashoggi seven years ago today. His editor @karenattiah.bsky.social wrote this two years ago.

Trump sure has a money trail going to Epstein.

Tina Peters, convicted of tampering with voting machine to try and prove Trump won the election, is demanding that Bondi get off her ass and get her out of prison now.

Those who have served or are serving in the military, I hope you feel love and respect from people who see your work as service to the country, rather than as time spent to “kill people and break things.” Your service represents something more. (1/3)

We need to bring intellectualism back—remind the youth that learning is not a burden but a beauty, a freedom, and a power. Knowledge is not just survival, it’s joy. #Pinks

NEW: Sen. Tammy Duckworth is calling for Pete Hegseth to resign.

"If this PR stunt proved anything, it's that the best thing Pete Hegseth can do to strengthen our military is resign in disgrace immediately."

WATCH: Ted Cruz says “How about we all come together and stop attacking pedophiles”

Democrats are in full attendance, while Republicans are nowhere to be found.

At least one side is working for us.

Exhibit A at The Hague just dropped

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

The reason we have rules of engagement isn’t to keep warfighters from killing our enemies.

It’s to keep them from killing a farmer with a shovel bc they thought it was a rifle and didn’t bother to wait to check.

Or a family in a car bc the driver looked nervous.

Or a boat full of fishermen.

Interesting for Hegseth and Trump railing about “political correctness” after the admin spent two weeks policing what people can and can’t say about Charlie Kirk
