Someday there will be a reckoning for the serial killings that the US government is engaged in on the oceans. Another admin should not refuse to extradite indicted officials to Intl Criminal Courts and senior military officers β€œjust following orders” should not be exempted.

Pop Base tweets: "Kim Kardashian said on β€˜The Kardashians’ that she believes the moon landing was fake:

β€œThey’re gonna say I’m crazy no matter what, but like, go to TikTok. See for yourself. […] There’s no gravity on the moon. Why is the flag blowing? The shoes that they have in the museum that they wore on the moon is a different print in the photos. Why are there no stars?”"

Six frames. Man addressing a woman with a Palestine flag t-shirt and a sign saying STOP THE KILLING. Frame 1: Man says, β€œIf you care so much about humanity, why aren’t you marching for Sudan?” 2. Woman: β€œcan you tell me first: who is the β€œus” and who is the β€œthem”?” 3. Woman: β€œWhich group should we see as the victim? Which is sub-human?” 4. Woman: β€œHow many weapons or parts are we supplying?” 5. Woman: β€œWhich side controls the narrative? Whose version gets discredited?” 6. Woman: β€œNow, if you would like to lead the march?”

We're told that being in the Royal Family isn't a luxury, it's a life of service and intrusion that the family must endure. Yet we're also told that removing Andrew from the Royal Family is a terrible punishment. So which is it?

Despite what a thinktank bleats to the Coalition, heat deaths are in fact β€˜a thing’ | Temperature Check Centre for Independent Studies points to climate risk report to back up its dismissal of heat-related deaths, but neglects to use the part that actually concerns the future

The Centre for Independent(?) Studies(?) is not a "Think" Tank. It's a Junk Tank, populated with reactionaries and fascists with an anti climate action agenda.

Heat related deaths are definitely a thing. @readfearn.bsky.social

I've wanted to see more of this for a long time. And I'd love to know if there is any longitudinal data that could tell us whether the public has become less informed over the years.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Well worth a repost. I even gave it a like.

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ.

We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights.

DOJ Scrubs Jan. 6 Attack From Court Record After Suspending Career Prosecutors Read more here.

This is next level authoritarianism.πŸ‘‡

"Following the suspension of two career prosecutors, the U.S. Department of Justice quietly revised a sentencing memo in a high-profile case β€” removing all references to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, and President Donald Trump’s social media post."
