Perfect! I love you, bagpipe player!
A line graph shows the time series of global mean surface temperature anomalies for each April-May-June from 1850 through 2025. There is a long-term increasing trend and large year-to-year variability. The mean surface temperature anomaly in April-June 2025 was 1.1°C globally. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1901-2000 climate baseline. All data is from NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI NOAAGlobalTemp v6.0.0 on this graphic.
A look at the average global temperature anomaly for every April-June period since the year 1850...

The bullshittery of Trump and his minions is mind-boggling.
We’re spending a lot of time talking about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. But don’t forget their victims. The survivors.
Not all of them made it. At least two women connected to Epstein’s abuse have died by suicide. The real number may be higher.
Jeffrey Epstein accuser, Maria Farmer, speaks out.
New York City is bracing for a major cut in tourism revenue, about $4 billion, as a result of Trump’s tariffs.
I was working as a cater waiter at a small, fancy NYC party. Donald Trump arrived with Melania on his arm and placed her like a statue in the middle of the entry way, so that people could admire her. She stood silently by his side the whole evening, never speaking, like a trophy.
I was working as a cater waiter, helping out in the kitchen at a fancy event in Manhattan. One of the guests walked into the kitchen and admired the dessert pastries. She had a distinct voice and a fun, extroverted personality. Turned out to be Eartha Kitt.
Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
"This action is not only morally indefensible, but also wasteful, strategically shortsighted, and completely counter to the entirety of your work while in the Senate."
He’s looking more and more crazy every day.
Freedom from kings.
Freedom from fascism.
Power to the people forever. ♥️
Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸
Today
Let's remember when a great President signed landmark legislation to give Americans healthcare
Not on Trump taking healthcare away from millions today
The sad irony…
The ACA—mocked as “Obamacare” by the right—insured 30M people. Half the country hated it. Republicans tried to “repeal”, NOT “replace” it.
Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is projected by Yale to cause 51,000 preventable deaths. And most Americans still don’t realize what’s coming.
I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is.
In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol.
And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.
What, exactly, are we celebrating this Fourth of July?
Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy?
Our new concentration camps?
Our dying economy?
Our ditching due process?
Our corruption?
Our broken Congress?
Our corrupt Supreme Court?
Our ridiculous buffoon President?

By the numbers, Clarence Thomas has been treated to:
• At least 38 destination vacations;

• 12 VIP passes to pro & college sporting events;
• 2 stays at luxury resorts;
• 1 standing invite to an uber-exclusive golf club

The facts are in: ICE isn’t going after criminals. We should expand legal pathways for undocumented people who aren’t criminals and who contribute to our economy – instead of deporting them.
A cruelty prize would be fitting for Trump.
Zohran Mamdani is the only democrat in the mayoral race that released an LGBTQ platform and the only democrat in the country (that I know of) to commit to safeguarding gender affirming care for youth + adults with $$.
WATCH: “Trump’s experience was being on the apprentice. Dr. Oz is in his administration. After Trump’s Pinky and the Brain administration no one ever gets to talk qualifications again.”
@joyannreid.bsky.social drags Arthur Aidala’s lame anti-Zohran attacks.
💰 WATCH: “How is that happening?” 🤷🏼♂️
@aoc.bsky.social informs a confused RFK Jr. that his own HHS is stuffing the pockets of insurance companies by doubling the rates taxpayers pay them even as they defraud us. 🤔
There’s a mass shooting and Trump says to get over it.
The GOP strips away Medicaid and McConnell says we’ll get over it.
You know what? We won’t get over it.
It took 43 years to get an apology for what they did to the Japanese American community. But we got one.
We will persist. Count on it.
Ageism is prejudice against your future self.
He’s an utterly despicable man.
