Pretty worried about what retribution looks like for Charlie Kirk’s death considering this admin turned DC into a military police state over one of their staffers getting beat up.

Like many of you, I thought Donald Trump was dead.

So, yesterday I bought 6,000 eggs in order to sell them back at a higher price once his death was announced and prices skyrocketed.

Now, I need to get rid of 5,980 eggs. I ate 20 today in a panic and I feel so so sick right now. Please help me.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself.

Citing EO 9066, the one used to intern Japanese American citizens, as your justification is a WILD tactic.
Q: “Are you going to make sure that all the [immigrants detained]…have due process"

Indiana Lt. Gov. Beckwith: “They don't have a right to see a judge…When the Japanese were bombing Pearl Harbor, did we give them due process?”

NEW: i spoke to nine (!) scientists across several disciplines whose work was cited in the new Department of Energy report that downplays the severity of climate change. all of them say their work was misrepresented, cherry picked, and/or lacked context —
Scientists Say New Government Climate Report Twists Their Work
A new Department of Energy report “fundamentally misrepresents” climate research and leaves out key context, multiple scientists cited in the report tell WIRED.

This might be the dumbest, most backwards thing I’ve ever seen come from a government that claims to be “modern.” Pointing out how embarrassing and irresponsible this is seems like such an understatement.
struggling with an analogy here but imagine NASA posting a meme about how excited they are to return aviation to the pre-jet age

You may not feel it, but the ground beneath you may be sinking.

In fact, the surface of California’s Central Valley is nearly 30 vertical feet lower than it was a century ago.

Why is this happening? Because our planet is rapidly drying. THREAD/
