The coolest thing about solar energy is that you don't need to invade another country to go get it. GREENPEACE

Keep your heads up @splcunion.bsky.social. Thank you for your important work.

They think you're stupid.

Prince passed away 10 years ago today.

RIP, your music lives on.

The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...

“What side you standing on?”

(the midterms can't come soon enough)

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

If you’re stumped by the stock surge amid ongoing U.S. disasters, remember that the market doesn’t care how many people die in wars or are shot by masked federal agents.
The market is measuring whether more people think they’ll make money from the disasters than think they’ll lose money from them.

@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social: RFK Jr. lied to Congress when he denied saying ‘every Black kid’ should be ‘re-parented’ www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr_u...

I pay every penny I owe in taxes, but I must say that this year really felt like a gut-punch on account of all the illegal shit that the federal government is doing with our hard-earned money

Here's the article which includes the actual interview in question. Yes, he absolutely said this and yes, it's in context.

Earlier, I posted a video of a lady octopus throwing rocks at an annoying male. It has been brought to my attention the video was AI. Since I abhor AI, I’ve deleted that post. Please enjoy this real video of a lady octopus throwing stuff at annoying males with my apologies.

“If they can automatically enroll men into the draft at 18, they can automatically register Americans to vote at 18.

Ask yourself why they won’t”
Josh H.

"All we say to America is, 'Be true to what you said on paper.'"

These words — spoken by MLK Jr. shortly before he was killed on this day in 1968 — ring just as true now.

Let's honor his legacy by continuing the fight for social and economic justice.

Legitimately reports the news more clearly and accurately than the New York Times

Journalistic malpractice and democratic betrayal.

I understand the impulse not to let this guy's statements dictate the news cycle but the fact that he can say shit like this and it barely causes a ripple in the media is a key to his ability to maintain power. Constantly pushing the bar of normality downwards, no pressure to take responsibility.

If you’re going to read a reality check about the latest moon mission, make it this one. Recall also that the other side of the coin of commercialization of space is militarization, in the form of the U.S. Space Force created during Trump’s first term.

Meanwhile Prof Tim Snyder is also issuing warnings about the same.

confederacy of dunces 🤦🏻‍♀️

with all respect due to john kennedy toole - the entirety of lack of accountability or consequences in the us govt makes us the laughing and pitiable stock worldwide

I mean, you don't really need a translator

The following is the text of the email that Penelope Hegseth sent to her son, Pete Hegseth, on April 30, 2018, as he was in the middle of divorcing his wife, Samantha. One sentence was redacted by The New York Times for privacy reasons.

Son, I have tried to keep quiet about your character and behavior, but after listening to the way you made Samantha feel today, I cannot stay silent. And as a woman and your mother I feel I must speak out.. You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth. I am not a saint, far from it.. so don't throw that in my face, but your abuse over the years to women (dishonesty, sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, belittling) needs to be called out.

Sam is a good mother and a good person (under the circumstances that you created) and I know deep down you know that. For you to try to label her as "unstable" for your own advantage is despicable and abusive. Is there any sense of decency left in you? She did not ask for or deserve any of what has come to her by your hand. Neither did Meredith. I know you think this is one big competition and that we have taken her side... bunk... we are on the side of good and that is not you. (Go ahead and call me self-righteous, I dont' care) Don't you dare run to her and cry foul that we shared with us... that's what babies do. It's time for someone (I wish it was a strong man) to stand up to your abusive behavior and call it out, especially against women

We still love you, but we are broken by your behavior and lack of character. I don't want to write emails like this and never thought I would. If it damages our relationship further, then so be it, but at least I have said my piece. [Redacted] And yes, we are praying for you (and you don't deserve to know how we are praying, so skip the snarky reply) I don't want an answer to this... I don't want to debate with you. You twist and abuse everything I say anyway. But... On behalf of all the women (and I know it's many) you have abused in some way, I say... get some help and take an honest look at yourself... Mom

a man who gets an email like this from his own mother should be legally required to reveal it to every woman he ever meets ever ever

reminder that the number one issue that the press covered in 2016, the one they told voters was THE MOST IMPORTANT thing in the election, was Hillary Clinton's compliance with Presidential Records Act record-keeping

Trump says it's 'not possible' for the U.S. to pay for Medicaid, Medicare and daycare: 'We’re fighting wars' Trump urged states to fund benefits programs instead because "we have to take care of one thing: military protection."

Lmfaooo your whole slogan was “America First” you stupid stupid man
