One of the most depressing things about the war in Iran is how a bunch of grown ass men are acting like this is a fucking video game.

Corpus Christi careens toward water catastrophe City officials expect to reach a “water emergency” within months and run out of water next year. That would halt jet fuel deliveries to Texas airports, hike gas prices and trigger a local economic dis...

Corpus Christi is nearly out of water and will likely hit a crisis point within months. If nothing is done, and so far the Texas GOP don’t seem to be taking it seriously, the entire city would essentially shutdown hurting fuel and gas prices

People who love war are sociopaths.

it feels like a small thing in context of all of the other things but it is a piece of the larger authoritarian project that there are fewer places to publish essays now and the carefully edited essay as a public form for thinking and responding and criticizing and analyzing is in trouble, i think

Chlorine dioxide is an industrial bleach for lumber and freaks like RFK give autistic kids enemas with it. Kids die from the practice. These people just want autistic kids dead.

Low-Salt Road Diet Recommended - ecoRI News Salting roads as a method of preventing ice from forming began in the late 1930s, perhaps in New Hampshire or maybe Detroit.

While safer winter driving is certainly important, throwing tons of salt on the roads comes with side effects, some of which are costly and impact human health in a different way than a head-on collision.

If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.

What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

In end-stage capitalism, betting on starvation — and war — for profit is a thing.

We’re Eating on Borrowed Time - ecoRI News Locally grown food is a increasingly important investment as the world heats and prolonged drought takes hold.

We need to grow/produce more local food, but southern New England spends more time watching farmland be covered with pavement, unaffordable homes, and ground-mounted solar panels than helping farmers feed themselves and the 12 million people who live here. ecori.org/were-eating-...

Republicans are desperate. The war in Iran is his excuse to remain in power and they are plotting to stay in power at all costs.

Priorities.

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

Americans Stranded in the Middle East Aren’t Getting Help from the State Department “Please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation,” a State department hotline said when NOTUS called Tuesday afternoon.

The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:

Justice Alito’s latest opinion is a very, very bad sign for voting rights A decision upholding a New York GOP congressional district could be a prelude to killing the Voting Rights Act.

Even by his standards Alito’s opinion in NY redistricting case last night was totally unhinged. If he’s writing majority opinion in Voting Rights Act case that’s very very bad news www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
