I have a lot of thoughts about this but for now, I will just say that the entire thing is a fucking travesty and illustrates some of the bigger problems with our Navy and the country at large.

Families of sailors and Marines aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln are raising urgent concerns about deteriorating conditions on the aircraft carrier, which has now spent nine months at sea and five consecutive months in combat operations.

I think a helpful interpretation could be this: YOUR TAX DOLLARS WERE GIVEN TO AMAZON(!).

This plane landed in Myanmar about three hours ago. This is the third ICE flight to Myanmar this year. Burmese deportees in 2025 were immediately sent to a torture facility next to the airport, according to Myanmar Now. Weeks later, not all of them had emerged.

This likely ICE flight operated by Journey Aviation has taken off and appears to heading for an Asia removal. In May, this aircraft deported people to Myanmar.

You could grow a spine and do your damn jobs.

Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"

Don't look now, but the world has now installed 3TW of solar. Took 10 years to get from 100GW to 1TW. Less than 3 years to get to 2TW. Less than 2 years to get to 3TW. Analysts expect *9TW* by 2036.

The World Crossed a Major Solar Milestone. No One Noticed

The next phase of the boom may reveal a shift in who is gaining access to the technology.

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Newsom is such trash. No support from me now or ever.

Looks like big money is big mad. Read the room, moron. Maybe if someone has the American psycho haircut, they’re not to be trusted.

Overnight this Omni ICE removal trip refueled in Anchorage and is now likely headed to its second refueling stop in Guam. It’ll be another 10 hours at least before it makes its first removal stop. The people onboard have been shackled for at least 14 hours so far.

Another book to recommend! Black Craft by Robell Awake left me wanting to do a road trip through the American South and see all these amazing communities and artwork. Very cool stuff!!

Deans Purple beeeeans. They’re so purrrrty.

To climate deniers: You said it was a hoax when 18M hectares burned in Canada in 2023. You ignored it when 2025 became Norway's hottest year ever. Now forests above the Arctic are burning while Canada's smoke reaches Europe. At what point will you reflect?

Remember when “isolationist” MAGA got angry at Joe Biden for ending the war in Afghanistan, and then they returned to power and began another endless war with even greater impacts.

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

John Carl Baker@johncarlbaker.bsky.social · 9mo ago

It’s very telling that opening your publication to MAGA “thought” requires a massive downgrade in quality control.

Maybe they should stop breaking the law and stealing from us, and focus on the huge numbers of Americans currently at risk of shitting themselves to death. This whole thing is a living example of white mediocrity.

* U.S. HHS SECRETARY SAYS CMS IS PAUSING MEDICAID PAYMENTS TO CALIFORNIA AND MINNESOTA @reuters.com

Snagged this from FB. This may make some people uncomfortable but I think it highlights just how far we've come from what's natural, from our relationship to the Earth that sustains us and our beautiful relatives we share it with.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has the constitutional authority to temporarily appoint someone to fill Mitch McConnell’s seat. If GOP lawmakers want to challenge that, they can do so. This will be the first big test to see whether Beshear really is presidential material. I hope he passes the test.

I love this woman. 🙏

What they don't teach you about heatwaves: It's not just heat. It's: • Your crops dying • Your river drying (Rhine is low again, disrupting shipping) • Your lungs burning from wildfire smoke • Your power grid collapsing It's everything at once.

We didn't previously integrate wildfire-smoke costs into the supposed cost of climate change for the US, and it turns out to be bigger than all those other costs combined. Oops! Gosh I wonder if we're underestimating anything else. Probably shoulda done something about this. Ah well.

What Worries Me Most About This Wildfire Smoke

We didn’t know days like this could happen. Then we learned how bad they really are.

I need y’all to get into the fact Mamdani watched the World Cup match at Rikers. With incarcerated folks. AND…he’s shutting that MF down. Give this man the Nobel.

Like most of my favorites nowadays, I had never heard of Dr Hernandez’s book Fresh Banana Leaves when I found it on the shelf at my local library. She provides a really wonderful perspective for all of us who want to heal ourselves and our communities. Check it out!

There has been a massive uptick in ICE kidnappings in Washington State. We know why. Researchers at The University of Washington have been tracking these illegal kidnappings and the data that is helping ICE surveil and stalk people. This data is being shared with the feds. Mostly by local cops.

Hell yea. Congrats to Egypt and thank you to Coach Hassan for being such a stud.

Man Incognito@sjbrewer.bsky.social · last mo.

After Egypt's historic knockout win over Australia, head coach Hossam Hassan walked onto the pitch carrying a PALESTINE flag. The Pharaohs advance, and their coach made sure the celebration carried a message the whole world saw.

The Gestapo pig tearing up a U.S. flag really does say it all.
