"Republicans would rather cut taxes for billionaire donors than fund research for children with cancer.

That is why our country is on the brink of a government shutdown that will crash the economy, hurt working class Americans and likely be the longest in history.

Welcome back to the MAGA swamp."

To the 89 million Americans who didn't vote and other nazis that voted republican: you are giant turds of stupidity and hate. Please go to Russia forever.

Alabama profits off prisoners who work at McDonald’s but deems them too dangerous for parole

"Prisoners nationwide cannot organize, protest or strike for better conditions. They also aren’t typically classified as employees, whether they’re working inside correctional facilities or for outside businesses through prison contracts or work release programs. And unless they are able to prove “willful negligence,” it is almost impossible to successfully sue when incarcerated workers are hurt or killed.

Though the Alabama corrections department said it could not provide information about the number of prisoners who died while on outside jobs, the AP tracked down family members of prisoners who lost their lives. One man was killed after being sucked into a machine at a plant operated by massive poultry processor Koch Foods and others died after being struck by vehicles while picking up trash or doing road maintenance on the side of busy highways. "

The now-famous picture of Mangione being herded by massively armed police is a show of force.

Our rulers -- political and corporate -- want everyone to know how angry and scared they are now, and how they mean to stomp on anyone even thinking of challenging them.

Brown-throated three-toed sloth (Bradypus variegatus). They move about 40 meters per hour compared to the lightning speed of 270 meters per hour of the average box turtle. 🐢🦥 #nature #science #wildlife #photo
The Brown-throated three-toed sloth (Bradypus variegatus) is a slow-moving mammal found in Central and South American rainforests. It has long, shaggy fur that provides camouflage by supporting algae growth. Its body is about 50-60 cm long, with a short tail and three toes on each limb, ending in curved claws for gripping tree branches. This sloth has a small, rounded head and a flat face with a gentle expression. Its movements are deliberate, and it spends most of its time hanging from trees, eating leaves, or sleeping up to 15 hours a day. It’s solitary and known for its unique ability to survive on a low-energy diet.

I firmly believe that the key to acceptance for the trans community is representation. It’s harder to hate people when you see them as human beings.

universally spooky

"the biggest problem with oligarchy is that it’s a transitional form of government. Because oligarchy’s obscene level of corruption eventually arouses outrage among the citizenry, it’s either turned back into democracy — as happened here in the 1860s and the 1930s — or turns into full-blown tyranny (Russia, Hungary, Egypt, Turkey, etc.), as Trump, Musk, and Vance seem to be promising for America now.

The main weapon oligarchs use to convert democracy to oligarchy is political money, which is why big money must be stripped out of the political process if democracy is to survive. America is the only developed nation in the world where virtually unlimited money can purchase both elections and politicians."

There is no need to overcomplicate things: a rise in global temperatures of 3.1C is not compatible with human survival. That is where we are heading, unless we act now. On our current path, the world will exceed 1.5C of warming, and could reach a rise of 2.6-3.1C by the end of the century.

Advocates want Biden to spare the lives of the 40 prisoners on federal death row


Anti-death penalty advocates hope President Biden will grant clemency to 40 people on federal death row. He has already commuted the sentences of nearly 1,500 people and pardoned 39 others.
