As a lifelong sufferer from asthma and other allergic conditions, I just wrote a brief media article on a subject close to my heart (and lungs!): the links between air pollution and mental health. rmit.edu.vn/news/all-news/…

the CATO Institute.. a libertarian think tank funded by the Koch brothers.. just published a study showing immigrants paid more in taxes than they received in benefits every single year from 1994 to 2023.. not a left-wing university.. not a Democratic PAC.. the Koch brothers' own research institute.. they reduced the deficit by $14.5 trillion over 30 years.. they earn less per hour but work at higher rates.. which means higher per capita income.. which means higher taxes paid.. the country spent 30 years being told immigrants were draining the system.. turns out they were funding it.. and the people who told you that knew the numbers the whole time

I’ve never met anyone far-right who wasn’t EXTREMELY stupid. Grandiose and well-read, that exists, but even press lightly against the surface and you get sweeping category error, poor comprehension, and poor source analysis.

The idea that the right just quietly moved on with their lives after Obama and Biden were both elected is revisionist history on a level you can’t calculate

fuck you

Sci-Hub is an evil website that pirated 85M+ research papers and made them freely available And now they've added AI to their database to make Sci-Bot. It answers your questions using latest, full-text articles. But DO NOT use it. We should all try to make billion-dollar academic publishers richer. I'm putting the link below so you know how to avoid it.

why would housing prices continue to rise if you're deporting undocumented immigrants? i was told they're the reason why housing prices are high.

Wasn't her own husband assassinated in broad daylight on American soil under President Trump?

St George was born in Turkey and is the patron saint of Palestine St George never visited England St George represnts much of Europe, the middle east and Africa If St George came here today, Reform UK would deport him Happy St George’s day

Ms. Rachel was included in the top 10 list of antisemites of the year because of this post.

I excused my daughter’s absence from school today, but it was denied. How are you going to tell me, the parent, that the reason I allowed my child to stay home isn’t accepted?

Universities are meant to protect free speech, not police it Yet 12 British universities allegedly paid a security firm £440,000+ to 'spy' on academics & students - especially those supporting Palestine & animal rights SHAME! aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/20…

The world may be distracted by the Iran & Lebanon wars, but repression of the Uyghur minority by China continues Human rights abuses don’t stop just because the news cycle moves on Freedom for Uyghur people! hrw.org/news/2026/04/2… FOLLOW @CampaignUyghur & @UyghurCongress

History of the world according to MAGA In the beginning, God created America. 1492 - Italian-American Columbus discovers America. 1776 - American farmers defeat the entire British Empire alone. (The French were just on holiday.) 1918 - America single-handedly wins WW1. Arriving 3 years late counts. 1945 - America single-handedly wins WW2. Arriving 2.5 years late still counts. 1954 - America wins the Korean War. Alone. 1975 - America could have won Vietnam. Decided not to bother. 1991 - America wins Gulf War. 35-nation coalition was just there for the photos. 2001 - America wins Afghanistan alone. For 20 years. Then Biden. 2016 - Trump elected. Russia not mentioned. 2020 - Trump loses. Fraud. Obviously. 2024 - Trump wins. Landslide. Very different. 2025 - America generously threatens to invade Canada. Tariffs the entire world. Europe ungrateful. 2026 - America offer to liberate Greenland and closes the world’s most important waterway to demonstrate strategic genius. Europe refuses to fix it. Ungrateful freeloaders.

Make no mistake: destroying world-class universities, like the US just did with Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, isn't just an attack on Iran but it's literally an attack on all of us, on all of humanity. It's not Iran that "won" when Maryam Mirzakhani made her discoveries that won her a Fields Medal: it's all of mathematics, and everything mathematics is used for. Human progress won, technology won, we all won. It's the same type of stuff the Mongols did during the sack of Baghdad and their destruction of the House of Wisdom: we ALL lost something irreplaceable back then, entire fields of human knowledge set back. That's what bombing a university does. It doesn't just destroy buildings. It destroys us, all of us.

You said Hồ Chí Minh "chose war." Let me reconstruct the timeline so we're working from actual events rather than impressions. 1858: France begins military conquest of Vietnam. 1887: France formally establishes French Indochina. 1945: Hồ Chí Minh declares Vietnamese independence after Japanese occupation ends. 1945: France announces its intention to recolonize Vietnam. 1946: Hồ Chí Minh negotiates in Paris. Signs preliminary agreements. 1946: France shells Haiphong. Kills six thousand civilians. Occupies Hanoi. 1954: Vietnam defeats France at Điện Biên Phủ. Geneva Accords mandate national elections. 1956: United States prevents the elections because Hồ Chí Minh would win 80 percent. 1965: United States begins massive military escalation. 1975: Vietnam wins. At which moment in that sequence did Hồ Chí Minh "choose war" in the sense that implies a peaceful alternative was available and he rejected it? The French chose war in 1946 when they shelled Haiphong. The Americans chose war in 1956 when they cancelled the election. The Americans chose war again in 1964 with the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. The attack that justified it was fabricated. They knew. They escalated anyway. Hồ Chí Minh responded to wars that were brought to his country. For over a century, from 1858 to the end of the American war in 1975, Vietnam was a country being fought over by foreign powers. The question is not why Hồ Chí Minh chose war. The question is why you describe as a choice something that was, for the Vietnamese people, simply the condition of existence under colonialism.

Marco Rubio 2 days ago: “Imagine if Iran funded the well-being of its people, rather than its military” Trump today: “We can’t fund daycare or Medicaid, we need more money for our military” Sometimes the jokes write themselves.
