The same week the NYTimes was devoting its significant resources to producing this ridiculous piece about Lauren Sanchez Bezos's call for rich people to not worry and be happy, Ryan Hass, an independent journalist in Oregon, was investigating this horrifying story about a death in an Amazon plant.
I grew up on a farm where we regularly had to fix our own tractors. I also briefly worked for John Deere and watched as they tried to justify why people shouldn't be allowed to do that. Get absolutely fucked Deere, right to repair forever and ever

Following another long silence, Joel summarized what we needed to do next. My description of our lifesaving work had been helpful, and we would need to develop “a very simple way to describe it to the secretary,” he told us. “To be clear, we’re not looking for a laundry list of everything you want to do, you’re going to have to cut things, it’s going to have to be draconian. You’re only going to get things that are priority number one, that is all we’re going to be able to do, so don’t even send up the things that are priorities number two, three, or four.” At that point, Nida jumped in. Out of the corner of my eye, I had noticed her picking nervously at her hands for most of the meeting, and I knew it was just a matter of time before my oft-impatient colleague spoke up. “Can I just clarify one thing?” she asked, not waiting for a response. “This group seems very focused on what GH does to respond to infectious diseases, but we haven’t spoken much about our other lifesaving work. Just as one example, we support lifesaving care to mothers for emergency inter- ventions like postpartum hemorrhaging and eclampsia, two of the leading causes of pregnancy-related deaths. You would also consider that kind of work to fit into our ‘priority number one,’ right?” Another brief silence followed as Joel watched the clock, and it was Paul Seong who broke it. “I’d say that’s more of a number two,” he said dismissively, looking to Joel and Ken for affirmation.
In Feb. 2025 when a USAID worker asked if their “lifesaving care” for “two of the leading causes of pregnancy-related deaths” would be considered a number one priority for programs to save, a Trump official responded “I’d say that’s more of a number two.”

ICE DETENTION FOR PROFIT
🚨Respect and thanks to Representatives Yassamin Ansari, Greg Stanton, and Adelita Grijalva for their unannounced visit to an ICE detention center with disgusting conditions, that tried to pull a fast one.
People need to be prosecuted for this.

For many years people have avoided fucking corpses. Jeffrey Dahmer is taking a different approach.
Wait, Trump uses Tupperware? I doubt it
It's not just that the nominal Secretary of State was attending UFC match as diplomatic negotiations to end a war were falling apart.
It's also that he looks fucking hammered.
ICE has targeted & detained a CT high school student, who entered legally & has no criminal record. His father, Zia, was an interpreter for U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
This is a clear display of ICE's outrageous, misguided priorities & why I’m fighting for total reform.

Pay attention
Call your reps
Scream your damned heads off. Don’t give them any peace.
The plan to destroy our country, democracy, economy & the natural world is absolutely underway & it’s going to be devastating.
Sen. Glenn Ivey with House Democrats stood at the Capitol, demanding Mike Johnson to open a session to vote on the #IranWarPowersResolution.
Sen. Ivey said to the press : “It is Congress who can declare war ; not a self-serving president guided by Netanyahu.”

Jay Bhattacharya likes to claim that he was so disturbed that his idiotic ideas were “censored” that HE and only HE will promote open discussion of scientific ideas.
In science, we do that through peer-reviewed studies. But he is now blocking the publication of studies that show he’s wrong.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz made an unannounced visit to the Everglades concentration camp where she describes the inhumane conditions she witnessed.
@smerconish.bsky.social Can someone say that threatening to end your civilization is sick and disgusting? It’s not a negotiation tactic, it’s like when the criminal threatens to kill your family. Why do we treat him like he’s a person like the rest of us? He’s a sick monster and should be stopped

Chris Murphy: "He's not telling the truth. But if you accept even part of the Iranian statement, Donald Trump has agreed to give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz. That is extraordinary and cataclysmic for the world."
They've destroyed so much of the world. But not enough for guys like pos Mike lee. Now he's coming for our wilderness.
Take action! 📢

WOW the sanctimonious jerk that runs a Ohio Chick-fil-a and has been pouring money into organizations that fight against Marriage Equality for the LGBTQ community, Stacy Austin, has been arrested for driving over 400 miles to North Carolina to rape a 15 year old child. #ChuckandJim
When the Supreme Court heard arguments about presidential immunity, did anyone bring up exterminating a civilization as an official presidential act?
We lost 13 troops.
Injured hundreds more.
Killed thousands of Iranians, including school children.
Used hundreds of millions of our tax dollars.
Damaged our bases in the region and countless aircraft.
Sent gas prices through the roof here and abroad.
And we got what exactly?
this is the ceasefire agreement that trump agreed to, which to me looks like an insane strategic defeat for the US
Screenshot of Article II, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution, which states that the President, Vice President, and all civil officers can be removed from office through impeachment and conviction for treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.
The 25th Amendment is not the only option. Article II, Section 4 provides for impeachment and conviction for high crimes and misdemeanors. That framework has always been there. The question is whether they have the courage to act.
Trump needs to go. Now.

If the world knows that the President of the United States is about to commit war crimes by bombing the infrastructure of another country, isn’t it imperative that he be prevented from doing so rather than simply watch it happen
The President is threatening genocide and possible use of nuclear weapons against Iran.
It’s clear the President has continued to decline and is not fit to lead. The members of his Cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment immediately.
What if the United States had a Congress?
