The ludicrous size of these behemoths, and that they choose to use the cheapest fuel – which pollutes the most, both through exhaust stacks into the atmosphere and through exhaust scrubbers directly into the ocean – is every kind of wrong.

These cruise ships pollute our air. We can see and smell the billowing exhaust.

But did you know that they are also polluting our water?

Their scrubber wash causes a witches’ brew of chemical discharge directly into Casco Bay.

This is dedicated to those who believed DJT and legacy media coverage that Project 2025 was nothing to be concerned about.

Also, this isn’t legal.

Christofascists are nothing new. This group is a bunch of very rich egomaniacs with anti-everyone-but-White-males-with-lots-of-$$ think they have special powers that are provided by some Sky Daddy and should rule the world. Someone come up with a rhyme for sweaty PT, ASAP!

A special class of freaks: so special is their message that only a few are deemed access to it, but if you're one of the chosen, you have to hear them contemplate their navel and drone on endlessly about bollocks in several two-hour marathons or not at all. wapo.st/4q5wR6S

Trump has begun dismissing federal workers, with furloughed staff at the Department of Health and Human Services now facing permanent layoffs. The cuts are hitting the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention especially hard.

But sure “everyone’s smiling” as Trump’s occupation tanks D.C.’s small businesses. Sarcasm, of course. If nothing changes, Chicago may soon see the same pattern.
