Bloomberg reports that officials directly involved in an internal Pentagon investigation found that Peter Thiel’s Palantir Maven Smart System played a significant role in the February 28 U.S. strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, Iran.

Sarah Jessica Parker is aging confidently and gracefully, and she looks radiant. Why are we still so determined to criticize women for doing the one thing every human being does, if they are lucky: getting older? ❤️ Maybe it’s our ridiculous expectation that women should never look their age.


"I know how I look. I have no other choice. What am I supposed to do about it?
Stop aging? Disappear?"

Katie Phang on a Russian oligarch bankrolling Don Jr.’s wedding: “They’re so dumb, we see it happening in real time. But because there’s no consequence or accountability, they just do it in the wide open.”

In the 25 years since 9/11, the United States has spent $8 trillion+ on wars that have taken millions of lives in the name of fighting "terror." Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds here on climate, health care, housing, and education?

This broke my heart because it gets to the part of this moment that is hardest to confront. The danger was never just the con man. It was the hunger for what he was selling, and the willingness to sacrifice compassion, decency and other people’s humanity to get it. Read this.

You know what truly breaks my heart?
It's not that America fell for a brilliant con-man. He isn't. And they weren't fooled.
What I find devastating is how many people were absolutely desperate to believe the lies.
How many ached for permission to dress their cruelty in patriotism. How many clung to racist. Homophobic. Transphobic.
Ethnocentric stereotypes. Because they thought the lies were promising them a shortcut to power. A way to profit.
Personally and politically. From the suffering of millions of absolutely innocent people.
The tragedy isn't the con. It's the hunger for it.
The willingness to trade compassion for the cheap thrill of feeling superior. The way hate sells because too many people show up already desperate to buy. —KALEN DION

VOTERS: VoteSafe.org is not a government website like Vote.gov. It asks for personal information including your name, date of birth, address, email and phone number. It is operated by America PAC, Elon Musk’s political organization and raises concerns about how voter information is collected.

Votesafe.org is run by America PAC, Elon Musk's super PAC.
It is not a government website. It checks your registration against America PAC's own private voter list, not your state's records, so it can tell you that you are registered when your county says you are not.

This was the video I was looking for yesterday to post. I follow Joshua Wright on instagram because we are both passionate about saving old trees. This was an ancient forest valley that was recently logged on Vancouver Island. They cut down one of the largest Yellow Cedar tree in Canada. 😢

Patriarchy is a system woven into the fabric of human civilization that controls property, power, laws, labor, marriage, and women’s autonomy. It never announced itself. It simply made male authority seem normal.
