Horseshoe crabs have outlived 5 mass extinctions. But today, ~1 million are captured each year and drained of up to a third of their blood for medical testing, despite the availability of non-animal alternatives.

You’ve heard of 🐴 horses. You’ve heard of 👟 shoes. You’ve heard of 🦀 crabs. But the horseshoe crab? Yeah, they’re none of those things. 👀

It would be REALLY useful if reporters helping Trump manipulate market w/tariff panic remind people that:

1) His tariffs have ALREADY been ruled illegal
2) The right wing has come out against them (CATO, Koch, AEI, right wing lawyers and economists, Chamber of Commerce)
3) Appeal hearing is 7/31

Surprise, surprise. All roads lead to Putin.

Oh, it's real. I assure you, James Gunn.

After media reports & experts warned for months that drastic & sudden cuts at the Nat Weather Service by Trump could impair their forecasting ability & endanger lives during the storm season, TX officials blame an inaccurate forecast by NWS for the deadly results of the flood.

It’s also fun to do it in the in the New York Times, since their editorial section has advocated for some questionable things over the decades. Yeah, I mean, we’re right back in 2003. The timing is crazy in terms of the the the Iran bombing — I almost called it Iraq, because the language and the op-eds are the same as when I was growing up. I read a David Shields book called War Is Beautiful, it’s a collection of New York Times photos of Iraq and Afghanistan where they made war look like this beautiful Disneyfied fireworks display, and that’s not what it is. War is fucking brutal and horrible and evil. And it does feel like we’re back in this mode where completely disconnected elites are killing people for sadomasochistic enjoyment. I grew up with this, and so did The Onion. This is where The Onion is at its at its best, when they are fully lined up against what is very clearly “The Man,” and the machine is in full swing, from cable news to the Times op-ed page to the government itself, with every Republican in Congress and some Democrats [embracing] the idea that if we just annihilate some of these people, there will be no consequences. We’ve been through this before. During the Iraq War, The Onion was one of the only places to stand up against it. It was just, like, The Onion and the fucking Dixie Chicks, and now we’re right back in that moment. Thankfully, I think more people can smell that this reeks and are not buying the party line of lobbyists that appear in the mainstream news saying that this will end all of our problems in the Middle East. We’re just doing what we did 20 years ago.

The Onion is also at its best when it's directly opposite The Machine, especially when the The Machine thinks it's impermeable and has buy-in from cable news, op-ed pages, and other people who confuse bloodlust with objectivity.

Which is, unfortunately, now.

Here’s Your Cheat Sheet for Vaccine Recommendations Backed by Science These graphics will guide you through science-based vaccine guidelines for children and adults

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

I don't know about you...but I'm disturbed by the amount of hell NOT being raised by leadership about masked individuals jumping out of unmarked vans, refusing to identify themselves...and just shoving people into a Goddamn vehicle and whisking them away.

Israel-Iran latest: Trump claims Tehran was ‘few weeks’ from having nuclear bomb Trump contradicts his own intelligence agencies, which concluded earlier this year that Iran wasn't rushing to build an atomic bomb

He’s lying.

He knows he’s lying.

And he’s lying to force us into a needless war.

This is exactly what you impeach a president for.

It most certainly is!

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

The US now has no vaccine advisory committee, no CDC director, and an anti-vaxxer as Health Secretary.

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH

He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested

This administration needs to stop targeting international reporters, they’re the ones helping spread the truth. In multiple videos, officers are seen aiming directly at them, fully aware they’re members of the press. These so-called “non-lethal” rounds can absolutely be lethal.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

BREAKING: I’m hearing from my sources that Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard wasn’t based on urgency — it was retaliation.

He’s been stewing with anger toward Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass, and was just waiting for the chance to strike back.

How many MAGA will hear about Trump deploying the National Guard in Los Angeles and ask themselves why they believe he couldn’t deploy them on January 6th, 2021?

My guess is a big fat zero.
Because they’re in a cult.

Nobody has ever been more vindicated in history than the abolish ICE people
