my takeaway from reading this is that i have to assume that every half-competent intelligence agency in the world has an almost real-time glimpse into what the white house and the pentagon are doing

A screenshot of a post on X by Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO ): "District Court judges have issued RECORD numbers of national injunctions against the Trump administration - a dramatic abuse of judicial authority. I WILL introduce legislation to stop this abuse for good." Below, a reply by Joyce White Vance (@joycewhitevance .bsky.social) reads: "Maybe the Trump administration should just stop violating the law?" Both accounts have blue checkmarks. Hawley's profile picture shows a person smiling, and Vance's profile picture shows a person with glasses. The post includes a watermark by @sirdukedevin .

Care to comment, Sen. Hawley?

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.

Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

Wildfire climate connection Climate change, including increased heat, extended drought, and a thirsty atmosphere, has been a key driver in increasing the risk and extent of wildfires in the western United States during the last ...

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change.

Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk:

Busted! Trump’s Greenland Supporters Were Homeless and Socially Disadvantaged People Bribed With Hotel Dinners Danish news reports on Trump’s scheme

Danish news is reporting that many of the people wearing MAGA hats in Don Jr & Charlie Kirk’s Greenland videos were homeless rounded up from the area, including one man they found under a bridge, to come into the restaurant for a photo op & a free meal. meidasnews.com/news/busted-...

He doesn't even have enough respect to try to stay awake during Jimmy's funeral. There were several times when he appears to be nodding off.

So almost all of the GOP is nothing but a pack of liars now. How uncomforting.

My BIL ex's sister was murdered yesterday. We have gotten conflicting information so can't post anything else until we know what happened for sure.

But in its panicked retreat from the system it spent years building, Meta may now be putting billions of users at risk. Just because Meta deleted that line about hateful speech causing offline violence doesn't mean it isn't true. And now the company has all but declared open season on immigrants, transgender people and whatever other targets that Trump and his allies find useful in their fascist project. "I can't tell you how much harm comes from non-illegal but harmful content," a longtime former trust and safety employee at the company told me. The classifiers that the company is now switching off meaningfully reduced the spread of hate movements on Meta's platforms, they said. "This is not the climate change debate, or pro-life vs. pro-choice. This is degrading, horrible content that leads to violence and that has the intent to harm other people."

I talked to 10 current and former Meta employees about the company's surrender to the right on speech issues. All were upset. One person called the changes "a precursor to genocide" www.platformer.news/meta-fact-ch...

My message to Zuck

Bernie woke up, went on X, and chose violence.

Sorry for the small Amazon businesspeople but it is business after all, & they should've had an inkling when Bezos stomped on the free press that it was time to get out & move on because he is only going to cover his own rump & assets. Boycott Amazon, hit Bezos where it will hurt him the most.

Trump got the questions ahead of time from Fox. Exactly what he always accuses Democrats of. What a surprise. www.cnn.com/2025/01/08/m...

Just another case of the super-rich kissing each other's sick rumps. These people are celebrated & lauded for having a mental illness that in others is mocked. They are hoarders. A majority of Americans seem to want to put up with this type of behavior which is just sick in and off itself.

This man, #TraitorTrump is working for Putin and Musk's interests. Musk wants the rare earth minerals abundant in Greenland, while Putin wants NATO to leave there, The Canal Zone open to their ships, and oil and gas access in the Canadian Arctic.

Outrageous! This needs to blow up. They want to throw out 60,000 votes and steal the state Supreme Court election in NC!

This year's handmade baubles - Mushrooms, made 12 of these adorable shrooms out of what would have been waste left over packing materials and some $.32 felt squares.

Grew up in the 60's, 70's. Colored lights on the 🌲 were a must have trend for the family Christmas 🌲. Alas those days might be gone. The new colored LED lights are awful & look wrong on the 🌲. The tone is way too cool on every color. To an artist the difference is quite glaring.

Meme saying I’d like separate bathrooms for MAGAs. I feel unsafe around people who are obsessed with my genitals.

They have a point.
