AGREED, that is contrary to how the MAJORITY of Americans think our democracy is supposed to work…

I'm not sure which is worse, not having the Epstein files released, or seeing half of them released and watching as the GOP continue to support him.

Don't you want to cry blood when it is someone else's fault 80% and you are at fault 20% and you spent all this time figuring out what happened and when, but then it all doesn't matter anymore because explaining it to them would just cause them to cry and never speak to you... so you do that.

Tell Congress: Impeach DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Contact Congress today!

100 cosponsors and 30k letters sent to Congress for impeaching Noem in a week is something special.

But we aren’t even close to the finish line, so let’s keep pushing!

There are now at least 100 House members signed on to our effort to impeach Kristi Noem.

Where the hell are the rest of them? Let’s ask:

Instead of paying Greenlanders $100K to join the U.S., can Trump toss that money Detroit's way?

Trump is destroying NATO to distract from the Epstein files. This may be the biggest scandal in history.

Donald Trump could learn a lot from Martin Luther King Jr.

Such as building broad, inclusive coalitions, pursuing economic justice beyond racial lines, supporting principled nonviolent resistance, focusing on shared American values like dignity & opportunity for all, rather than choosing division…

Dear EU intelligence agencies,

Please help us end this global nightmare by leaking the Epstein Files you likely have. The corrupt regime in the US never will.

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King.

This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

The genomes of ancient cats from archaeological sites across Europe and Anatolia (circles in the map) revealed that domestic cats were introduced to Europe from North Africa starting at 2,000 years ago, several millennia after the onset of the Neolithic in Europe; African wildcats in Sardinia originate from a distinct wildcat population in Northwest Africa

Domestic cats πŸˆβ€β¬› are most genetically similar to African wildcats, but the (modern) domestic cats probably weren't introduced into Europe until the 1st century CE, which is rather late, all things considered. πŸ§ͺ

Social significance is a measure of contemporary community esteem for a place or object. Optus B1 (currently in the GEO graveyard orbit) was one of Australia’s early telecommunications satellites, launched from China in 1992. This series of satellites was commissioned from the US-based Hughes Space and Communications Company, and Australia had no part in the design. As well as providing regular services such as television, telephone and air traffic control, Optus B1 hosted
the ComRadSat channel to service Australia’s community radio network. Optus B1 thus has social significance for the thousands of community broadcasters in Australia who used the satellite to downlink content, including feminist, Indigenous and LGBQTI programming (Fredericks 1993). Community radio is an important alternative to commercial and government services, often highlighting marginal voices and views, or regions otherwise poorly serviced. In Australia, community radio has also been influential in establishing an independent Indigenous media, for example, through the Central Australian Aboriginal Media Association (CAAMA).

A tour de force expose of those trying to smother us in anti-science propaganda. Michael Mann and Peter Hotez are leaders in confronting the anti-science crowd. They describe their own experiences and name and shame the organizations and individuals involved and how we can defeat them. Read it. πŸ§ͺ

We checked DHS’s videos of chaos and protests. Here’s what they leave out. Official videos purporting to show the triumph of recent immigration operations used footage that was months old or recorded thousands of miles away, a Washington Post analysis found.

Did they not think the videos would be fact checked? Oops, they used videos from other states and years. LOL www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...
