"...when a president sues a department he controls, which is also being defended by a department he controls, while claiming immunity from accountability, something is really off."

Trump approval falls to 35% as rating on handling prices hits a record -46 Our new Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll finds the president's overall job approval at a new low, Democrats leading by 7 on the generic ballot, and a majority says the Iran war is not worth the cost

A new Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll conducted April 10-14 finds 55% of U.S. adults say the House should vote to impeach Trump. 37% oppose, and 8% are unsure. A surprising % of both Republicans & Trump’s own 2024 voters say they would support impeachment if a vote were held today.

Me, being left behind…❤️

A man started the Iran war. Because he couldn’t handle his feelings

Trump Is Said to Be in Talks to Send Afghans Who Aided U.S. Forces to Congo www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/w... This is just evil. And good luck getting anyone to help us in the future.

Nothing surprises me any more about these disgusting men who have accrued too much wealth, but MrBeast leaving a company meeting to jack off because his head of Instagram was “pretty” and then his CEO TELLING HER THAT while it was happening is some Louis CK level shit.

TAX THE FUCKING RICH.

Two Israeli soldiers jailed over smashing of Jesus statue in Lebanon village Israel Defense Forces say the ‘soldiers’ conduct completely deviated from IDF orders and value’

Israeli forces have been shooting journalists, engaging in documented sexual violence [https://bit.ly/4vIAIcT] not to mention destroying hospitals and schools... but hit a statue of Jesus and finally two are instantly jailed. Clear priorities.

Verge headline: Silicon Valley has forgotten what normal people want by Elizabeth Lopatto Illustration of a brain melting in the sun

"In the place of problem-solving technology, companies have jumped on successive bandwagons like NFTs, the metaverse, and LLMs. What these all have in common is that they are not built to really solve a market problem. They are built to make VCs and companies rich."

Army veterans have just staged a PEACEFUL PROTEST at the Capitol Building against the war in Iran and we're arrested!

How long before Trump denounces them as domestic terrorists, unlike those nice tourists who showed up there on Jan 6th?

"They went door-to-door to tell their neighbors what the city had not told them: The data center would use twice as much electricity as all of Monterey Park."

The city’s notification in English reached only 40 people living within 500 feet. Activists worked in English, Chinese, Spanish & more!

After France, Denmark is moving too: its Digitalisation Ministry plans to phase out Microsoft, switching to Linux and LibreOffice in the coming months. The goal is clear—reduce dependence on a handful of global tech giants and strengthen digital sovereignty.

Study warns of terrifying Atlantic Ocean current collapse New research shows a critical Atlantic Ocean current system is weakening faster than expected, raising the risk of irreversible climate disruption.

New research warns the Atlantic Ocean’s key current system (AMOC) is weakening faster than expected, with models now pointing to a ~42–58% slowdown by 2100—pushing it closer to a tipping point that could trigger irreversible global climate disruption.

When they received the call to respond to an Israeli airstrike in the city of Mayfadoun, in southern Lebanon, most of the paramedics held back, having previously seen colleagues killed by double-tap attacks targeting rescuers. But the medics from the Islamic Health Association (IHA) rushed to the scene. By the time the other emergency workers arrived at the site, they found the IHA medics had indeed been caught in a second strike. They started evacuating their wounded colleagues, only for their ambulances to be hit in two further attacks. One of the paramedics covered his ears and screamed, convulsing in pain as shrapnel shattered the back window of the ambulance. The rescue mission on Wednesday afternoon had turned into a nightmare as Israel carried out three consecutive strikes on three sets of ambulances and medical workers.

Israel performed a literal quadruple tap attack in Lebanon to massacre three separate sets of medics.

Truly pushing the bounds of human depravity.

As Trump Threatens Iran, Veterans Protest ‘War Machine’ At Capitol - PopularResistance.Org Dozens of veterans were arrested by US Capitol Police on Monday after they occupied the Cannon House Office Building on Capitol Hill to protest President Donald Trump’s illegal war on Iran. During the protest, which was organized by a coalition of veterans groups, the demonstrators stood in the middle of the rotunda, holding red tulips and chanting anti-war slogans. A video published by Reuters shows Capitol Police restraining the veterans and taking them into custody one by one. One of the demonstrators arrested was Mike Prysner, executive director of the Center on Conscience and War (CCW) and a veteran of the 2003 Iraq War.
