The more stories I read coming out of the US, the more I want to live in somewhere far away, like New Zealand. I don’t want to share a border anymore. They are so f****d up and it’s dragging us all down.

It's bizarre to watch USians on TV talking about how radical Iranian leadership is when the US government has killed hundreds of children.

I'm not saying Iranian leadership is good, but are people this deluded that they can't see how absurd they look?

US visa denial policy makes continued basing of the UN there untenable. Same for World Bank, IMF and any international organization.

An unholy alliance of AIPAC, Crypto, and DraftKings are buying Illinois' primary elections, stop progressive candidates, and install MAGA aligned conservative Democrats.

If they win, they'll deploy this playbook across the 45 states that have upcoming primaries.

Here are the receipts corporate media isn't covering:

sounds like Kilauea's latest big show is winding down and the community and stewards have robust safety and information protocols that work, nice nice nice.

Kilauea teaching us that great displays of power with tremendous force, beauty, and awe can indeed be done without danger or tragedy.

imagine if we handled politics as intelligently as Hawaii handles volcanic activity.

"U.S. President Donald Trump’s efforts to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine are stalling with peace talks deadlocked..."

The problem here is that #DonaldTrump is *not* trying to "end Russia's invasion of Ukraine"

#Witkoff and #Kushner are trying to negotiate an end-game environment with #Russia where #SteveWitkoff and #JaredKushner can proceed with money-making commercial redevelopment in what's left of Ukraine

Good night, sleep well and see you all tomorrow.

When you mandate the usage of AI you already admitted to yourself that AI is not a useful tool.

Ever had to force someone to use a useful tool which makes their work easier or the product better? I don't think so

Ooooooh. Thunder and lightning now. I was just came back in from the garden and our 83F air felt like SOUP. And the sky has turned thunderstorm yellow grey. I do love the beginnings of thunderstorms....

People mobilized in South Burlington, #Vermont, after ICE chased someone, leading to "car crashes involving federal vehicles, a foot chase, and a daylong protest."

Trump's #FBI buried it. The system protected it. 3 brothers convicted anyway. Justice moves slow, but it moves. The women who testified carried the weight the institution refused to bear. It’s almost as if the FBI is now showcasing small fish catches to distract, while still ignoring the two whales.

Speaking in Kentucky, Trump claims that China does not use windmills, because they kill all the birds.

In reality, wind power makes up three quarters of all renewable energy in China, and China produces three times as much wind energy as Germany.

For whatever it's worth, all the people I know at The Onion (which includes some of my closest friends like Leila and Ben) are incredibly pro-trans, care about trans people, and so on.
