‘We were terrified they were going to kill us’: fishers who survived US boat strike speak out An Ecuadorian fishing crew describe their ordeal as victims of Trump’s purported war on ‘narcoterrorists’

These fishermen are lucky to be alive. We will probably never know how many of the ~180 people killed in similar US attacks were also just fishermen.

⬆️ the winner

“Modern medicine is for betas” is where we’re headed

Exactly. It will do little but alienate people.

It is an insane strategy. Is there some truth to it? Yes, of course. But there are a whole lot of other truths that booker’s smug condemnation completely and conveniently ignores.

yeah, humidity maybe?

Forecast high of 91 in Lincoln NE, 4/21/2026

Plenty of heat today out west - if only we could average them together!

A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek), with the handle @magyarpeterMP. The post reads: "Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then — on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office." At the bottom, the timestamp reads "3:04 AM • Apr 21, 2026" alongside "19.9K Views".

Peter Magyar is not playing around at all. He's going to purge every single remnant of corrupt Orbanism. This is exactly how Dems need to be when they retake power.

What’s orange blossom up in a tizzy about now?

I am again asking people to pay attention to what has happened to our National Science Foundation and by extension thousands of researchers across the country.

The devastation is ongoing and worthy of continued outcry to officials and journalists. 🧪

Tax Day 2026: The Average Taxpayer Paid $4,049 for War and Weapons - Institute for Policy Studies Tax Day 2026: The Average Taxpayer Paid $4,049 for War and Weapons

"The average taxpayer in 2025 paid: $4,049 for weapons and war, vs. $2,492 for Medicaid, which provided health insurance to 68.5 million Americans in 2025 — about one in five Americans."

And btw, adopt something like ranked-choice voting and this issue resolves itself.

Fuck them. If they aren’t exciting somebody, that is on them. To then double down and say look what happens when you don’t choose the lesser of two evils is doing nothing but alienating those voters further. It is a bad decision, followed by a worse decision. It is a proven recipe for failure.

Yeah, fuck him for implying we should accept who they choose for us and be happy with it. And fuck the idea that we should just accept the lesser of two evils and be excited about it. Fuck them.

It seems to me Israel is free to create such a buffer zone if that is what they want to - within the borders of Israel.

TAPPER: What did you think when President Trump threatened to obliterate the entire Iranian civilization?

T: He said 'the entire civilization will die.'
