An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

quotes by Musk and Hannah Arendt

“In my work with the (Nuremberg Trial) defendants, I was searching for the nature of evil, and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy... a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”

- Captain G.M. Gilbert, US Army

Live your life in such a way that 7 million people don’t show up just to tell you that you are an asshole.

Because they are concerned about Earth's Energy Imbalance? Or because they don't "believe" in it?

Trump is going to continue to do everything in his power to try to incite violence somewhere. If Portland and Chicago don’t work, he’ll probably go to New York.

He’s looking for a reason to invoke the Insurrection Act.

The president is using the military to dismantle cities that didn't vote for him

The president is using the military to distract from women speaking out against his and Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuses.

We are not living in ordinary times. Extraordinary responses are called for.

Epstein survivors say they’re compiling their own client list.

“We know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-led—for survivors”

Didn't the German National Socialists do this, too? It's like some kind of playbook.

When will Putin invade the Whitehouse to start de-Nazification?

That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.

Germany gets 60% of its power from renewables and is shutting down its coal plants. No blackouts. No high bills. Every right wing lie about renewables has been proven false.

Chasing people into traffic is cruel and unusual.

Donald loves the uneducated voter.
Putin loves the uneducated POTUS.

Michael McFaul, Fmr. Ambassador to Russia, shares what he believes to be the three big gifts to Putin:

1. The meeting itself.
2. It's taking place in the U.S.
3. The symbolism of meeting in a place that was formerly part of the Russian empire.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "I think he should start with Shreveport, Louisiana, and Speaker Johnson's district that has 6x the per capita murder rate of Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco. What about the carnage, Mr. President, in Shreveport? Why aren't you protecting the folks there? What bullshit."

KRUGMAN: “Official economic data starting to confirm what mainstream economists have been saying — Erratic policy that creates uncertainty depresses growth and job creation; tariffs raise prices… Trump faces massive public disapproval on every issue…” open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

This is Trump’s f*cked-up economy, but don’t miss this point in the jobs report—if it hadn’t been for healthcare, we would’ve actually lost jobs every single month.

A group of global civil society organizations have placed the US on a watchlist for urgent concern over the health of its civic society, alongside Turkey, Serbia, El Salvador, Indonesia and Kenya.

Releasing fewer greenhouse gasses would be good.

His secret tariff attack on international shipping should cut down greenhouse gasses, some. Not sure it's enough to save Mar-A-Lago from monster hurricanes, though.

And they would NEVER give up power, including power to blackmail other people... or information that can be used to blackmail their powerful friends.

Republicans will ban Pride flags, drag queens, and books to “protect kids” while voting to protect a pedophile ring.

You’re not serious about protecting kids if you’re protecting the powerful men who rape them.

Deep down, they all want thirteen year olds to start pumping out babies. Their scriptures treat young girls as women and women as property.

Tucker Carlson’s Harsh New Takedown of Trump Fuels Fresh MAGA Fury As Tucker’s attack on Trump over the Jeffrey Epstein mess intensifies MAGA’s anger, a historian of the right explains why this particular obsession runs so deep—and why Trump has no easy way out of it...

MAGA fury over Epstein is rooted in how badly they'd been scammed by the idea that Bongino/Patel would finally blow the lid off the Deep State.

Historian Nicole Hemmer is brilliant on the right's pathologies, and on the pod she delivers on Epstein big time:

#NIH accounts for 47 billion = 25% of US federal research funding, essential for their world-leading position in bio-medical research.

Trump just shut it down.

No foreign adversary in their wildest wet dream could achieve such a devastating act of traitorous sabotage with a stroke of a pen.

Africa leads the largest mobilization in history ― 8,000 km, 11 countries and 100 billion trees Africa’s Great Green Wall spans 8,000 km, 11 countries, and aims to plant 100 billion trees—history’s largest mobilization to restore land and fight climate.

Millions of people have been planting a billion trees... (Re)foresting Africa. From what I understand, about seven more billion should be able to balance the CO2 we release.

It feels doable.

Plasma tech zaps air into clean ammonia without gas or pressure New plasma-electrolyzer system turns air into green ammonia gas, offering a low-cost, fossil-free alternative to dirty fertilizer production.

If you had ammonia powered machines (lawnmower, vehicle, generator) and a solar-powered ammonia cracker in your garage you could be off grid.

Had a conversation with my wife, in regards to the Tariff nonsense, where we asked each other if Trump is dumb or is he a liar.

I'm starting to come to the conclusion that there's no way to separate those two things. He believes what he says is true because he said it.

China completes barrier belt to contain its fourth-largest desert China on Monday reached a major milestone in desertification control by completing a barrier belt along the southeastern edge of the Tengger Desert in its northwestern Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.
