Woo hoo! Fun day of rock climbing at Sonora Pass. The climbing routes are all on National Forest lands, but they are heavily used by Marines from the nearby Winter Warfare Training facility. We climbed two routes after the Marines finished on them - 5.4 and 5.6. Good hard scary fun!

Fox News’ host Brian Kilmeade says ‘just kill ‘em’ about mentally ill homeless people Comments met with outrage online and calls for him to resign

Speaking about the homeless, Fox News prick Brian Kilmeade suggested that we should "just kill 'em" using an "involuntary lethal injection". That sure sounds Nazi to me.

If Fox was a legitimate news outlet, he would no longer have a job.

The Gaza family torn apart by IDF snipers from Chicago and Munich Five-month investigation reveals how four members of one family were shot and killed in a single day and highlights a pattern in which Israeli troops target unarmed civilians

The war in Gaza is truly awful. Snipers gunning down grieving family members trying to retrieve the bodies of their loved ones. I hope that these war crimes are someday prosecuted.

Charlie Kirk in his own words: ‘prowling Blacks’ and ‘the great replacement strategy’ The far-right commentator didn’t pull his punches when discussing his bigoted views on current events

Charlie Kirk did not deserve to get shot for speaking his mind.

But he should get no honors in death...he was a nasty little prick who got wealthy by spreading racism, homophobia, and lies.

Musk's brain implant company filed as a 'disadvantaged business' The tech CEO's Neuralink was valued by investors at $9 billion shortly after it described itself as a small business in a federal filing.

So...Musk is filing papers with the Small Business Administration calling his $9 billion business a "small disadvantaged business"?

I thought those MAGA pukes were opposed to DEI.

It's part of the grift. The $50 billion in rural hospital funding will only be going to red states....the Trump administration will make sure of that.

Governor Newsom is a gem...love how he's taking on the MAGA liars and morons.

This is what 21st century Fascism looks and sounds like. Pleasant lies for the rural rubes, while the fat cats get all the goodies, and everyone else has to pay.

This is what 21st century Fascism looks like, and how it works to enrich the Fascist leader and his family.

Words like that, delivered from that platform, in this political environment, can get someone killed. But she knows that.

Fight over Medicaid cuts heats up as House Republicans release bill The legislation includes work requirements, stricter eligibility checks, citizenship verification and new limits on federal funding for Medicaid to states. It met swift Democratic opposition.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office’s preliminary analysis found that “the health care portion of the [GOP] bill would cut spending by $715 billion and would ‘reduce the number of people with health insurance by at least 8.6 million in 2034.’”

Bogus headline...what they want is more WOMEN out of the workforce. This is DEI for men.

Sounds like White Supremacy. Sending a plane to bring in white "refugees", while shipping brown and black immigrants to foreign hellholes.

Meaning: "it's no longer in the interest of the MAGA billionaires".
