Meanwhile affirmative action "meritocracy" manosphere tech bros wasting our taxes:

"OMG they released the deposition videos where they revealed that these two DOGE bros were just feeding grants into ChatGPT and saying "tell me if this is DEI in less than 120 characters."

Radical simply means grasping things at the root.

Someone should tell the coterie of rejoicing Iranians in New York what Trump's war is doing to their nation

‘Dark, like our future’: Iranians describe scenes of catastrophe after Tehran’s oil depots bombed Residents report terror of smoke-filled city, from potentially toxic rain, air and water to food scarcity and difficulty of escape

“Tehran is burning. And smoke has filled the streets. It’s impossible to drive out of the city right now and even with the windows closed, heavy smoke is making its way inside."

Read every word.

The road runner is suspended over a cliff, about to fall to his death, but it hasn't registered yet. The Road Runner represents the U.S. The Cliff represents the invasion of Iran

Wait for it...

The fact that it happened is horrifying. The fact that no one is talking about it is also horrifying.

“Everyone says he is crazy – which maybe he is – but the scarier thing about him is that he is stupid. You do not know anyone as stupid as Donald Trump. You just don’t.”

Here's a new look at SSTs, now including the official boundaries for "Gobsmacking Bananas," "Uncharted Territory" and "Totally F&%ked".

Look at 1998/99, 2016/17 and 2024/25. This is what to expect in 2027/28 if a monster El Nino comes to pass later this year.

Nothing says “we are liberating you from a bad regime to give you a better life” like bombing desalination plants and oil refineries

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

The more you know ...

The Earth has gained the equivalent of about 5.7 *billion* Hiroshima bombs worth of planetary heating since January, 2000.

About 89% of that heat went into heating the oceans. The rest to melt ice and snow, heat land and heat the atmosphere.

Bill Maher is a fuc&ing joke

Kristi Noem misattributing a paraphrase of Rudyard Kipling to George Orwell really does sum it all up huh

Republicans are not fiscal conservatives and they never were.

Israel's Samson Option is a Threat to Global Peace If Israel feels it is losing the war it started, its extremist government may see no other option but to use its choice of last resort.

As Rep. Jayapal says, our reporting has found that these aren’t isolated incidents. Last October, we tallied more than 170 cases of U.S. citizens detained by immigration agents.

Here’s that investigation she’s referring to:

Health of double amputee detained in Georgia ICE jail worsens Rodney Taylor says detention ‘draining on my body’ as Democratic senator Raphael Warnock lends support to case

About Rodney Taylor:
He is not a criminal, not the worst of the worst. He's a respected productive member of his community.

Quite the surprise...then again, isn't this Administration one that consistently INVENTS new ways to insult, surprise, offend, hurt, victimize, etc. I doubt any of us, even the MAGA faithful, can see much of this crap coming. And it does "just keep coming." This is the "NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME."

Seventy-two hours. That’s all it took for Donald Trump’s ego-driven cosplay of “strength” to metastasize into a regional inferno. Three days. Not three months. Not three weeks. Three days. In less than 72 hours, what was sold to

Board of Peace launches first war 🫠

A worker harvesting leeks on a hot 90° day

"Jesse" was harvesting leeks in Moorpark CA. "It's sunny and 90° today-very different from last week's rainy 65° weather. I'm grateful my UFW contract ensures shade, breaks and cool water. Many non-union workers don't get this and changes like this are hard on our body." #WeFeedYou
