Pakistan is one of the new order of countries that is quickly becoming the honey-badgers of the international order.

Seems a great opportunity for the Dem Party to make a snarky — and pointed — comment about those “members” like Dershowitz.
Rural and remote communities will pay the price for the Trump Administration’s deep-sea mining schemes that Indigenous leaders have identified as "resource colonialism." www.americanprogress.org/article/why-alaska-and-u...
Oh, look: more unexpected second- and third-order global-scale consequences for failing to plan appropriately.
"What we are seeing in the market today is not a temporary adjustment; it is a clear signal that geopolitics is once again taking control of the supply chain." – John Alarcon, Davmercorp
Every candidate for every federal office should be asked whether they support government funding going to this company. They should also be asked why a federal contractor needs a “manifesto.”
Apropos of nothing, “They should all be yeeted into the sun” needs to be more mainstream response.
In #Florida, huge gas hikes tied to our idiotic Iran War mean higher prices for seafood too. Thanks, President Convicted Felon! www.tcpalm.com/story/news/l...
What happens when you have a generation of kids and companies that have never been told “no.”

The same guy who commissioned this? Surely, you jest.
This should not be a fringe opinion.
You’re not the target audience.
How do I donate?
Did you order the coup and salad combo?
Not that this (mal)Administration cares, but blockades are war actions… without Congressional authorization, to beat a dead horse.
Yes. This.
Neither original in the text, nor original in its intent, but a reminder about how we used to think of ourselves as Americans.
If hearing that stings, it’s because we’ve forgotten that existentially important lesson about being US citizens.
It had a really good run and was a fun series — and at least the show was allowed to close loose ends in its last season (unlike, say, Firefly or Starfleet Academy).

Project 2025, everyone with half-a-brain knew this was coming.
This is precisely the correct response, although I might’ve added some invective at the end.
The rest of the world has always thought about how things would be without the United States, and our idiot-in-charge is giving them a reason to find out.
Red America won’t like their FAFO moment.
"Hope has two beautiful daughters; their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are."
One of my favourite quotes, attributed to St Augustine and embodied by @drkatemarine.bsky.social today.
I don't believe that a decrepit old rapist should have the power to end any civilization.
These wonderful photos are what happens when we invest in science. The cuts proposed to our other jewels of the federal system like NOAA and our National Forest Service should be alarming to everyone for precisely the same reasons.
NSF LTER program “archived”.
LTER=“Long Term Ecological Research”.
This program has been incredibly successful, incredibly frugal for what they accomplish, and…of course…targeted by evil know-nothings.
My heart is breaking.
@uvapress.bsky.social do better. The sad part is that they know how to do so.
As a 3x alum, William&Mary, I ask you to do better.
