STOP TELLING US THESE PEOPLE CAN CHANGE THEIR STRIPES

MAGA howled for a decade about President Obama unfreezing Iranian assets, falsely calling it a gift and terming him a terrorist enabler.

So we'll now hear MAGAs howl about Trump for 50 years and call him an *actual terrorist*, right?

Because they're not fucking hypocrites, right?

Why Trump’s Delusions Are So Dangerous: Psychologist Dr. John Gartner goes through the evidence of a manic, delusional spiral unfolding in real time.

President Donald Trump has crossed from grandiosity into full-blown psychosis, a psychologist has warned.

Donald Trump’s deranged threat to destroy “a whole civilization” in Iran is a threat to commit war crimes and genocide. Republicans in Congress must prevail upon VP Vance, now campaigning for Putin’s puppet Viktor Orban in Hungary, to return to the U.S. and invoke Section 4 of the 25th Amendment.

Trump. Won't. Care. If. He. Kills. Civilians.

Sorry... you are telling me that during the run-up to the 2020 presidential election the Trump FBI hid the fact that it was actively investigating sitting president Trump for Child Rape?

Because that would appear to be what happened, and it appears also that the death of Epstein ended that probe...

Today's haiku:

Plants say spring is here
Sky says not so fast, buddies
Make some room, snowflakes

Journalism isn’t just reporting facts.

It’s connecting them.

Seth Abramson does exactly that—pulling scattered reporting into a single line of sight.

Dismiss him if you want.

But don’t pretend the patterns he highlights aren’t there.

OMG, this is SO good!

Cheer up! It's possible that this is that very week (of summer) & nobody knows it yet.

In shocking news, turns out spending every day of the last 15 months being as big an asshole to everyone as you could just because you thought you could does not lead to them wanting to get punched in the face for you during yet another fight you started for no reason

Odd pattern in the leaded glass

Do I have to join some sort of a movement or can I just call it common sense to say I'd like mentally unwell people out of leadership positions if the products they make or the people they oversee have the ability to kill

Karp, Musk, Trump, Hegseth... JFC, how hard is it fill positions of power?

I just did a more rigorous computation for increasing Earth's albedo (reflectivity) using 92% efficient mirrors.

To get back to year 2000 albedo levels, we only need a band about 84 km wide (42 km North & South of the equator) of mirrors circling the earth.

The more you know!

Controlling the press corps & rewriting history are anti-democratic. Selling nuclear secrets is treason.

Tariffs imposed by the US are paid by US citizens, not foreign countries.

EXCLUSIVE: Evidence Indicates Jeffrey Epstein Was Key to 2016 Pro-Trump Election Meddling So much attention has been paid to Epstein's serial sex crimes that we've spent too little time asking whether Trump owes his political career to a dead pedophilic rapist he can’t stop lying about.

(🚨) This is just the beginning. But it is one hell of a beginning. You will never see the Epstein Scandal the same way again.

And Part II is on the way.

‘Astounding’: Chris Hayes stunned Bondi still has DOJ job  YouTube video by MS NOW

WATCH: “In any remotely sane political climate she would be impeached, fired, or just have the good sense to resign in disgrace,” says Chris Hayes on Attorney General Pam Bondi.

SEN. OSSOFF: “.. why are roving gangs of masked men — who look like they couldn’t pass the Army physical exam — dressed up like pretend Delta Force operators, on our streets, demanding papers, dragging people from their cars, and shooting people to death?”

The Long Ukrainian Winter How You Can Help

Russia’s full-scale invasion began 4 years ago. It began in winter, and so this winter is the 5th. And, for civilians, the worst. Russia launches missiles and drones at energy infrastructure to force Ukrainians to endure the freezing cold. Here's how you can help

Homan's message: When we kill you, you have to be especially nice to us. Or else we will keep killing you.

"Jeffries also stipulated that there must be language in any new DHS bill empowering state and local law enforcers to conduct their own investigations, and perhaps bring their own charges in cases of alleged misconduct by DHS officers."

Let me be really fucking clear: this is ALREADY the law.

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

Or how about this headline — “American citizen arrested without cause after exercising his Constitutional rights.” Very important that government propaganda not become the default framing.
