Every major company in Silicon Valley is hiring climate specialists to help them plan for climate change over the coming years, including the ones known as rightwing incubators. Literally no one in the country outside of leadership in the GOP actually believes it's a hoax.

Over 100,000 people are marching through The Hague against Israel's war on Gaza.

Wearing red clothing and forming a line, they are demanding the government draw a red line in its stance against Israel.

It's the largest protest in the Netherlands in 20 years.

That’s the kind of fire we need. Rep. Horsford isn’t playing games — he’s demanding receipts, accountability, and consequences. That’s the energy this fight calls for.

Norwegian guy rightfully asks why @barackobama.bsky.social is doing paid events in his country rather than leading protests in ours www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjdKqqtF/
Barack Obama is coming to Norway in may, but I don’t really want to go. Not because I’m not a fan of Obama. But isn’t there something even more important he could be doing at this moment?

This is exactly what the farmers voted for. Because we fucking told you this is what you were voting for.
Now go ahead and eat that sandwich that y'all made.

Kash Patel is completely fucking unhinged. This is insanity.
Kash Patel wants to criminally charge groups who received EPA grants for climate change projects. You know, like those greedy bastards at Habitat for Humanity.

He thinks climate change isn't real, so he thinks these groups have committed fraud.

Which of course is fucking crazy.

Every word of this is a lie.
Musk: "The waste and fraud in entitlement spending -- that's the big one to eliminate. That's the half trillion, maybe 600 or 700 billion a year. That's also the mechanism by which Democrats attract & retain illegal immigrants by essentially paying them to come here & then turning them into voters."

In 1985, a senior Reagan official declared: "We're getting out of the housing business. Period." The result? Millions of people forced into housing precarity and homelessness.

Sign me up for this society.
I actually have no idea what I pay. I pay income tax, it covers schools, bike lanes, health care, fighter jets, that sort of thing. I have a high income, so I pay a higher tax rate. I guess it could be calculated how much go to health care, but it’s not specified.

Some messages just really resonate.
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
