The coming global food crisis Hunger and even famine are foreseeable consequences of the war on Iran. Now the world must act to shield the poorest from effects that will continue long after the fighting stops

Its worse than you think. The coming global food crisis #TheyDidThis

Governor Tim Walz — "We are sick of this. A weak, reckless, Idiotic president just threw us into a war nobody asked for. No threat existed. No objectives were set. No exit plan exists. This is pure fascism." #cdnpoli

Every day Israel loses more support in the US. But they don’t seem to care as long as their Orange Sugar Daddy is in the WH. Well he won’t be forever.

Critical Atlantic current significantly more likely to collapse than thought Scientists say finding is ‘very concerning’ as collapse would be catastrophic for Europe, Africa and the Americas

This should be a bigger story. 

Scientists are more concerned than ever that a critical current will collapse soon and wreak havoc on North America and Europe.

Keep this relevant!

‘Exam-obsessed’ schools leave pupils unready for work, Alan Milburn says Former minister leading review into young people and work cites survey showing most teachers decry lack of ‘soft skills’

How dare teachers care about knowledge and education when all we need are new cogs in the capitalist machine, employees trained on public money so they are able to secure and increase profits for a few private pockets?

"Soft skills" sounds so much better than complex exploitation.

When leaders normalize surrendering rights, it reframes freedom as optional. Surveillance powers without robust safeguards don’t just target threats, they reshape the citizen–state balance. The real test isn’t fear, it’s whether institutions still defend constitutional limits.

From Roberts' memo, 2/6/16 "I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical"

Memo from Breyer: "It is unusual for this Court to issue a stay of an agency order during the time that the Court of Appeals is considering its lawfulness"

Feb 7 memo from Kagan "It would be unprecedented for us to second-guess the DC Circuits decision thst a stay is not warranted "

🧵Bombshell reporting on leaked SCOTUS memos that reveal how the "shadow docket" began with Chief Justice Roberts' rush to halt Obama's efforts to regulate power plant emissions of greenhouse gases - he feared the harm to industry.

No one feared the harm to the Earth, apparently.

Palantir on X: "Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel" / X Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel

Palantir is a menace to society. Its "Manifesto" reads like a very bad Hollywood science fiction dystopia movie.

Pete Hegseth retweets an official GOP tweet that says: “Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.’ John 11:25 NKIV”

Is the Republican Party officially declaring itself to be a Christian party? Is belief in Jesus’ resurrection in the platform now? This is not a “big tent” — this is theocracy.

I never want to be a killjoy so I won't get in the way of people dancing in the streets when he drops dead but I think one reason everyone is so thirsty for it is we tacitly understand that to be the only consequence he'll ever face. Which sucks! There should be way more consequences
