Thank you for reposting this King of Make Believe. I read some and will finish tomorrow. First People across the planet recognize all is connected and humans are not separate from the ecosystem in which they reside.

The False Narrative of Conflict Evolving Into One

“As long as this civilisation focuses on recording, cataloguing and capturing the natural world in bytes and megabytes, it will continue to see it as a series of lifeless objects.The ecosystem doesn’t want to be on Instagram. It wants to have a conversation with us”

L.A. Home Depot raided twice in one day. Critics claim immigration agents are flouting a court order Recent raids at Los Angeles Home Depot stores are raising concerns over whether federal agents may be violating a temporary restraining order that bans the use of racial profiling in immigration arrests.

JD Vance’s team had water level of Ohio river raised for family’s boating trip Exclusive: Incident raises questions of exploitation of public services, but Secret Service says it was requested for ‘safe navigation’

For decades I have swum and boated in this lake. You don’t have to get the government to raise its water level to kayak. You get in, push off, and paddle. Decadent empire stuff.

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.

This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

The Trump Justice Department just allowed another merger. United Health’s acquisition of Amedisys allows the nation’s largest health insurance company to take over end of life care, potentially raising prices for your family. Quality affordable health care should be our top priority for Americans.

Trump’s EPA has:

-Killed $15 million in research into forever chemicals in farmlands
-Attempted to roll back forever chemical limits in drinking water
-Delayed rules requiring corporations to report their forever chemical usage

How does this “make America healthy again”?

AP Headline: Trump Administration seeks $1 billion settlement from UCLA, a White House official said.

Some dickhead nazi in Florida on a boat with two sets of Trump flags accompanied by swastikas.

Guardian headline: American Nazi party leader sees “a real opportunity” with a Trump presidency.

The absurdity continues. UCLA should counter sue the Administration for not rooting out antisemitism among its supporters.

This is perfect.

Astronaut Jim Lovell, famed Apollo 13 commander, dies at 97 Lovell was also the first astronaut to go to space four times and part of the Apollo 8 crew, the first to launch on the Saturn V rocket and first to orbit the moon.

He didn't get to the moon but he got his crew home, and that was the more remarkable task.

The Trump regime is way out of bounds and must be reined in. Voters, we know our mission: Insist on free and fair elections, then vote the complicit GOP out of office.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. 

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

Will he give up Ukraine to Putin and throw in Alaska too? Art of the Deal?

NEWS: Trump says he will meet with Vladimir Putin in Alaska next Friday.

This follows reports that Putin told the U.S. this week he would pause the invasion if allowed to take Eastern Ukraine.

DEMOCRATS‼️

If you’re worried about fighting dirty, remember this—extreme partisan gerrymandering in North Carolina handed Republicans three extra seats and control of the House in 2024.

Fighting fire with fire is long overdue.

Scarborough loses patience with Mike Lawler after Lawler lies that Republicans didn't actually cut Medicaid: "Congressman, you can keep talking if you want to, but are you saying you know doctors' business, you know hospital administrators' business better than they know their own business?"

Boom.

In this thread, I lay out more than a dozen facts about Trump and his child-molester friends Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
I challenge you to read the whole thread and then decide what the odds are that Trump did not abuse girls or tolerate his pals Epstein and Maxwell doing so.

I have been listening and loving this young man’s work for some time now. First time I heard him my thought was Woody Guthrie for our current times and my friend said John Prine and then I saw others say Bob Dylan. Now I just say this genius song writer, Jesse Welles.

The GOP's gerrymandering frenzy is a sign of weakness If you can't beat 'em, rig it.

"'We stood aside so Trump could shutter vital agencies, take your healthcare, and spend every last dime scooping up immigrants to get Stephen Miller his 3,000 arrests a day' is not exactly a rallying cry that will turn out voters."

B of A: “.. An average vehicle has 1k-3k semiconductor components.”

Industry estimates suggest a 100% tariff rate on chips and semis could “increase vehicle production costs by $4,800-$10,000.”

U.S. plans to ease human rights criticism of El Salvador, Israel, Russia Leaked draft reports show the Trump administration is planning to eliminate or downplay accounts of prisoner abuse, corruption, LGBTQ+ discrimination and other claims.

The Trump Admin’s attempts to whitewash these reports don’t change the facts. Instead, they only undermine US credibility. These reports are supposed to tell the truth, not sugarcoat it. It’s the latest example of Rubio’s MAGA lobotomy as he dismantles our standing on human rights.

This is what fascism looks like.

Meanwhile, ICE is offering new hires $100,000 to start, plus signing bonuses, and student loan debt forgiveness.

We’re funding hate!

Marlene Rosen was my voice teacher at Oberlin Conservatory but that hardly encapsulates what she meant to me and to all of us in her studio. To work with voice is to work with the soul; it is inextricably linked to who you are and it's a delicate operation.

Last week I called an office & waited 35 mins to hear that my application for Medicare Part B (completed in mid-June) hadn’t been processed yet & that I had to call a local office. Then I waited 65 mins to speak to the local office which confirmed that my app hadn’t been processed yet.
