When you see the videos of chaos at Delaney Hall, remember that in a few days Congressional Republicans will try to pass a budget bill that would give tens of billions $ more to ICE with zero accountability/reforms. Let’s make our voices heard to stop this bill.

How many ordinary Americans even know this is happening, let alone support sending their tax dollars to fund it? If only Americans knew…

No Trump arch. No Trump ballroom. No Trump slush fund. No Trump bank note. No Kings. washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…

So Iran can’t have nukes but random tech billionaires can???

It never ends! This is all he cares about. Trump regime officials have pressed the office responsible for printing the nation’s money to design a $250 bill featuring the president’s portrait. washingtonpost.com/investigations…

This is the guy who fired Colbert for Trump, whose name appears in the Epstein files a million times

CNN fact checker Daniel Dale hasn’t been on the air since March 13. That’s after averaging 12 or 13 appearances a month for several years. But apparently, there’s absolutely no reason for this. He’s still doing fact checks. He’s done 16 in the past six or seven weeks. But nothing on the air. He did one on Friday about the 28 lies Trump told last week. But that one didn’t make it on the air.

New: A top White House aide intervened to get a $620 million Pentagon loan for a company tied to Donald Trump Jr. “The call came from the White House: We have to get this done,” said one person involved. propublica.org/article/donald…

A 2 semanas del mundial de fútbol, en EEUU, la Gestapo de Trump tiene a 300 personas en huelga de hambre secuestradas en el centro de Delaney Hall mientras apalea salvajemente a los que protestan. Si fuese Rusia abriría todos los telediarios, como es EEUU y Trump, no pasa nada.

I want to know what deal or agreement the mainstream media has with this administration to not cover his visible and obvious health issues. Joe Biden rode bikes and they still harassed him for every single misstep or flubbed word. Trump is very visibly weak and tired, he falls asleep in public on camera almost daily now, and has have three visits to the hospital in the last year. Where’s the media speculation? Where are the inquisitive headline? Where are the rumors. Are they afraid? Are they not allowed to talk about his health? Are they being threatened? It’s time for the truth to come out.

Half the cost of Trump's Reflecting Pool renovations is being paid for by National Park entrance fees, money that was previously used for park maintenance and preservation.

I can’t believe I have to say this: The President should not financially benefit from the very government he controls. I’ve got a bill to stop Trump’s corruption.

Trump threatened to “blow up” one of our staunchest allies in the Middle East today and I couldn’t find it about it on the homepage of the Times, Journal, or Post

Pay attention folks. We are learning how badly @DonaldTrump and #CongressionalRepublicans stabbed America and the American people in the back.

At his fake cabinet meeting, Trump just repeated his lie that millions of dead 150-year olds are receiving & cashing Social Security checks. Once again, he couldn’t point to a single example BECAUSE IT DOESN’T HAPPEN. They’re trying to wreck Social Security so they can rob it.

This insanely expensive stunt was brought to you by the same people who cut Medicaid because “we don't have the money.”

Uma das coisas mais perturbadoras sobre os estupros no caso da Flotilha é que os sobreviventes estão tendo que tomar, por 28 dias, medicamentos para prevenir uma possível infecção pelo HIV em razão da violência praticada pelos soldados. As mulheres, além disso, tiveram que tomar pílulas do dia seguinte e torcer para que fossem efetivas. Isso mostra que a violência de Israel não termina quando os sequestrados são libertados. Ela continua no corpo, no medo, na espera por exames, nos efeitos colaterais dos medicamentos, na angústia de quem ainda precisa lidar com as consequências de uma agressão cometida sob custódia de um Estado. A libertação não apaga a tortura. Não apaga a violência sexual. Não apaga o trauma produzido por um sequestro ilegal e por práticas que deveriam ser tratadas como crimes internacionais. As violências de Israel continuam acontecendo e produzindo efeitos físicos, psicológicos, políticos e humanos muito depois do fim do sequestro.

While everyone argues about data centers and water, California almonds quietly use up to 80x more, AND the whole industry only survives because of trucked-in "livestock"... Every February, beekeepers transport nearly every commercial honeybee colony in the United States (around 2.8 million hives) to California to pollinate almonds. It's the largest "managed-pollination" event on the planet. Almonds cover 1.4 million acres and need bees to pollinate so they set nuts. So why do we need to truck them in? Well, almonds are grown in huge monoculture orchards, meaning the native bee species are all but eradicated...there's nothing for them to eat most of the year. To fix the problem WE created, we ship in bees from across the country. I interviewed the creator of the 2019 documentary The Pollinators, which followed this migration and brought a lot of this story into public view. First off, honeybees aren't native to North America. They were brought from Europe in the 1600s. The "bee crisis" you read about, with national colony losses around 55% last year and some commercial keepers losing 60 to 70% in a single season, is happening to a managed, introduced species. It's a livestock collapse driven by long-haul transport, pesticide exposure at bloom, hives packed together spreading mites and viruses, and a monoculture diet. Meanwhile, North America has roughly 4,000 native bee species. Most are solitary, don't make honey, don't sting, and quietly pollinate everything from squash to blueberries. Research out of UC Davis and UC Berkeley has been direct about this: when blue orchard bees, bumble bees, and other natives forage alongside honeybees in almond orchards, fruit set goes UP, not down. The presence of wild bees changes how honeybees move through the trees and makes the honeybees themselves more effective pollinators. So the fix isn't more honeybee hives. It's hedgerows, wildflower strips, bare ground for ground-nesting bees, and uncut field edges, aka habitat for the natives who were doing this work long before we started trucking in livestock. Honeybees are livestock. Native bees are the wildlife, and we should be planting to include them in our agriculture.

New leaked documents suggest the Trump admin has quietly co-opted tools — some w/ military capabilities — that were once justified in the name of protecting Americans from foreign influence, and turned them inward to map, monitor, & target U.S. political dissidents. Link below.
