There really is no such thing as race. We all came from Africa. We are all of the same stardust. We are all going to live and die on the same planet, a Pale Blue Dot in the vastness of space. We have to work together.
— Bill Nye
Is that bad? Seems bad
Alt text: Screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Abdulkhaleq Abdulla (@Abdulkhaleq_UAE), with a verified badge. The post reads: “This is what I told Reuters today: The UAE no longer needs America to defend it, as it has proven during the Iranian aggression that it is capable of defending itself with distinction. What the UAE needs is to acquire only the best and latest weapons that America has. Therefore, it is time to think about closing the American bases, as they are a burden and not a strategic asset.” The post is labeled “Translated from Arabic by Grok” and shows a timestamp of 10:21 AM · 4/19/26 with 139K views.
NEW: UAE scholar Abdulkhaleq Abdulla says the UAE no longer needs U.S. protection, calling American bases a “burden, not a strategic asset” and suggesting they should be closed. The United States’ standing in the region has been obliterated.
Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?
The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.
The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.
It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.
Listen, if Gallego is releasing his texts, I want the texts of Republican Senators and Members who hung out socially with Trump and Gonzales and other Republicans accused of predatory sexual behavior.
Let's have full transparency across the board. Clean House, baby!
What an opening for every Democrat to talk about.
Holy smokes. She's a republican character actor
the JD Vance effect: "Prime Minister Viktor Orbán conceded that he had lost Hungary’s election on Sunday, as early results showed a stunning defeat for the politician who has ruled the country for 16 years and been an ally of President Trump."

In 2025 Chump tried to defund NASA but he failed. He is trying again this year.
Your absence of understanding my point makes perfect sense.
You can't get outside your own limited perspective to see it wasn't the concept I didn't understand, it was his pronunciation.
Thank you.

Okay, all me old, but I can't understand all his countries: UK, Ukraine, Norway, and...what is the fourth one he's saying? Turkey maybe?
ICE loves hurting and killing women.

When our eldest was 5 we knew he was scared whenever he'd say unprompted, "I'm not scared. I'm not scared at all!"
Anyway, Melania Trump just held a press conference to say unprompted she has "no connection to Epstein" and her emails to Ghislane Maxwell were just "casual correspondence."
Be best!
Brilliant!
Gotta love this.
Text on image reads: "Conservative Christians will move heaven and earth to protect kids from competing in sports with the rare transgender child, then turn around and vote against healthcare for millions of poor children. This is what happens when your worldview and your consequent morality are predicated on an archaic purity culture rather than on essential human wellness. Trans rights? Throw an unholy fit. Meanwhile, global poverty? Refugees? The military-industrial complex? Healthcare as a human right? Keep an unholy silence. Because caring about those issues would actually cost them something. Power. Wealth. Political influence. Much easier to manufacture outrage over who uses which bathroom." #deconstruction #exvangelical #exchristian #faithtransition #Christianity #religion #ChristianNationalism #politics #lgbtq #transgender #healthcare #humanrights
There's no denying it!
