Please add this account. Not fully leaving but damn, things are way nicer over there.

I live in Tahoe and can tell you Big Chem messed with the wrong community. Now that the recent Mother Jones article exposed the massive levels of glyphosate currently being sprayed on our forests by the US Forest Service and their plans to spray the Caldor Fire burn scar in the Lake Tahoe Basin, the fight is on. @glyphosategirl Everyone can help! This is both urgent and a long game so stay tuned for evolving calls to action. This takes 10 minutes to call & tag: The US Forest Service plans to spray up to 75,000 Acres in the Lake Tahoe area with glyphosate, including campgrounds, trailheads and ski areas. They are doing so to purportedly accelerate wildfire recovery. The reality is that they are killing deciduous trees, native shrubs, flowering plants, and anything that competes with the commercially attractive conifer trees used by the timber industry. Additionally, the suggested benefits of spraying glyphosate for wildfire prevention can be achieved through other, non-chemical methods that don’t kill entire ecosystems. We need your help. Please call all of these offices and tell them why you do not want glyphosate sprayed. Leave a message if they don’t pick up.

There are other ways to manage forest regrowth and fire prevention that do not involve carcinogenic chemicals that will contaminate the entire area and kill ecosystems. This plan to spray is unacceptable.

Outcomes of SCOTUS decisions are supposed to rely on the constitution, not which party is asking. It’s so blatant. That court should have been expanded. The justices who LIED UNDER OATH IN THEIR CONFIRMATION HEARINGS should have been removed swiftly after Roe.

Trump may establish a $1.7 billion fund using taxpayer money to compensate his allies and others investigated by the Justice Department under Biden, possibly including those who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6. @GlennThrush @aduehren @alanfeuer nytimes.com/2026/05/15/us/…

@Acyn He’s really fucking proud of his ability to sign his name.

Trump on $14 Billion dollar weapon deal for Taiwan: I’m holding that in abeyance and it depends on China. It’s a very good negotiating chip for us.

@hemantmehta Better their inheritance goes to this pagan god, amirite?

Christian Nationalist preacher Dale Partridge says Christian men must run for office. If they don't, someone else will: "Often, a woman from India or Somalia or another foreign culture. And she's going to work to colonize your community and steal your children's inheritance for the glory of their pagan God." (via @RightWingWatch)

Yesterday, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum swore under oath that Trump's Arch was "not even a proposal," claiming it was just a "discussion." Today, @RepHuffman was standing in front of the industrial drilling rig starting work on it.

Good. The arch is getting bulldozed regardless

oh, look. another one. jfc..it's like turning over a rock and seeing a bunch of white maggots underneath. The GOP is the pedophile party.

Are we being pranked?

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 Big time shenanigans going on in UTAH‼️ Utah speaker of the house Mike Schultz owns hundreds of acres of land right near the Stratos data Center site‼️ THIS IS JOURNALISM‼️

In Texas, our droughts are so bad that whole bridges are burning. How exactly are we supposed to handle dozens of datacenters when we don't have enough water already, even for emergencies?

Why is the lunatic Left trying to shut down Trump's totally free, taxpayer-funded ballroom? @DesiLydic Foxsplains

He raised nearly $25,000 from a GoFundMe for a child’s burial garden that was never built. Now Andy Ogles says that money did not actually come from the public.

The ex-wife of MAGA Rep. Max Miller says he’s trying to shut her up… …that she has photos of “her bruises and burns”… …and that Miller previously put a “million-dollar chokehold” on former WH press secretary Stephanie Grisham, who also claimed she was abused. Yikes.

We need sweeping reform legislation over our data. These companies would not be what they are if it wasn't for us. I'm thinking they should pay us to use our data.

New: Trump’s counterterrorism strategy blueprint makes multiple mentions of Joe Biden and other political opponents of the administration while not once mentioning violence from the far right even though the FBI has repeatedly called it a top concern. propub.li/4uG1FfY

The artist behind this painting, Criselda Vasquez, painted this portrait of her parents in 2017. The man in this painting, her father, was recently taken by ICE. He has lived in the United States for forty years. This loss has made it hard for the family to support themselves. If you want to support them, you can go to their GoFundMe here: gofund.me/456d8a193

Man…no words. "My dad got cancer and my mom's employer collapsed. The executives got paid and the workers got screwed. She didn't have the heart to tell us, even when the bank took the house. And when she took her own life, the eviction notice was in her pocket."
