It was 89° at 9:30am as workers pack freshly picked grapes. They work in teams of two. One person cuts the grapes inside the rows and brings them to the packing station. Their partner separates the grapes into boxes designated for storage or shipment. #WeFeedYou

There may well be active duty troops in the Middle East right now who have family members locked in ICE jails. Congress authorized Military Parole-in-Place specifically to avoid this situation. But the Trump admin has shown little care to families caught in this situation.

The Russian government has extended the authorization sell fuel with as low a standard as Euro-2 for 1 year or until July 1st 2027. Gas stations will be required to inform buyers about the quality of the fuel they are selling however.

Far-right pastor Dale Partridge says that Germany was "attacked from within by grossly immoral Jewish forces during the Weimar Republic," which naturally made Nazism "extremely appealing": "This Nazi movement terrified the Jews because it represented a powerful form of Christian nationalism."

All that sucking up to Trump didn't work then? No offence but I won't hold my breath!

watching the candidate forum for the US Senate seat currently held by Tina Smith and it's incredible how Royce White's response to every question is to spout insane conspiracy theories about transgender people and the uniparty. This guy was the GOP's nominee for a Senate seat two years ago!

Alabama needs to be pulled back from the single-party Republican state it is. The cold-hearted Republicans feel it is not the state's responsibility to provide for luxuries like hospitals and sewage treatment.

Alabama and Mississippi rank the two worst states in the country to have a baby. In baby friendliness, Alabama ranked #51. ❓ Apparently a territory outranked it. I thought these were right-to-life states. Do better, Bama. www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/news/2...

Why Alabama scores nearly last in US for having a baby in the state

Having a baby in Alabama can cost less than elsewhere, so why did the state rank near the bottom in a new national study?

Remember when photos came out in April of the skimpy food that sailors were getting on the USS Lincoln and the Navy denied it? Now its worse. A sailor messaged his mother that his meal was a cup of rice and two tortillas, and the showers and laundry are frequently closed.

Moldy showers and no soap: Military families are outraged by conditions on USS Lincoln

The aircraft carrier's long deployment in the Iran war is raising concerns that the sailors and Marines on board are facing poor conditions, low supplies and fatigue.

🚨 Germany has stopped a suspected Russian assassination plot targeting a defense executive whose company supplies reconnaissance and FPV drones to Ukraine. militarnyi.com/en/news/germ...

Germany Thwarts Russian Plot to Assassinate Executive of Donaustahl, Drone Supplier to Ukraine

German authorities have thwarted a Russian intelligence operation to assassinate executives of defense companies supplying weapons to the Ukrainian military.

“A local newspaper, Leipziger Volkszeitung, said police discovered as much as 800g of explosive. This would be “enough to do considerable damage” to a plane, according to…an explosives expert.”

David Vickrey@wahrsager.bsky.social · 2h ago

Though the identity of the culprits is unknown, the initial evidence points firmly towards a Russian-orchestrated plot. It is the first time that a drone with explosives has been found in Europe far from the Ukrainian border.

Royce White is now ranting about "transgender sex dolls" during a forum that is supposed to be about agricultural issues. This guy is a serious Republican in Minnesota who had the party's nomination for a Senate seat two years ago. Insanity.

Whenever one of these freaks goes off on a tangent about their trans conspiracy of the day, the proper response -- from an interviewer or anyone else -- is "well, it seems like you're having some sort of mental breakdown here, so we'll wrap it up"

The Trump regime is so far away from a solution to its illegal war with Iran that it isn't even focused on the nuclear issue that supposedly led to hostilities in the first place. Instead, the regime is focused on the Strait of Hormuz, which wasn't even an issue until Trump started the war.

JUST IN: Trump is scrambling to stop the BBC from digging into the finances of his business empire after a judge ordered him to hand over records in his $10B defamation lawsuit against the network.

Trump knew the contractor when he was taking credit for the Reflecting Pool renovation. But now that it's been botched, he’s never heard of him? Funny how that works.

First came across him mentoring kids tied to the Mises Institute who were involved in the creation of Old Glory Club. They weren't as openly white nationalist at the time, more couching it as concern for "Heritage Americans", but they were having regularly discussions w a neo-Nazi like Thomas777.

Thomas777 is a neo-Nazi w ties to old school boneheads in the Chicago area. He's become a fash intellectual & took his carefully curated hipster costumes w him to Jared Taylor's annual AmRen conf - a gathering of white nationalists like Patriot Front - in 2023. Young bucks revere him as an old head.

In that same interview, TC’s favorite “historian” talks about writing the foreword to a new book by Thomas777. That Thomas fellow (pictured below) has said that "Hitler will be remembered in 1,000 years as the warlord who prevented Soviet world domination."

People saying Pratchett never meant the Vimes Boots Theory to be taken seriously are missing the point as much as St*nc*l, or the TERF Discworld fans.

The Heritage Foundation asserts that women never needed sports in the first place. To prove that Title IX has become a tool of “feminist social engineering.” To demonstrate that women don’t need sports and that “clubs, intramurals, and exercise classes” is enough. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

"McConnell, an appointee of President Barack Obama, is the chief federal judge in Rhode Island. For nearly all his 15 years on the federal bench, he worked in relative obscurity. He rarely gave his personal safety a second thought. That changed dramatically starting early last year."

This federal judge ruled against Trump. Then the threats began.

U.S. District Judge John McConnell’s experience is emblematic of the climate facing jurists, whether nominated by Democratic or Republican presidents.

He made a promise to every Ukrainian soldier: “Come home alive. But if the worst happens, we will find you. We will bring you home. One hundred percent.” Rest in peace, Oleksii. Thank you for bringing so many heroes home.

For years, Yukov and his team risked their lives recovering the bodies of fallen Ukrainian defenders from active front lines, minefields, and occupied territory, ensuring families could finally bring their loved ones home and lay them to rest with dignity.

Oleksii Yukov, the head of the Platsdarm search and recovery team, has been killed.

This is hilarious. Charles Gasparino (foil of @kenwhite.bsky.social when both were on Twitter) of the NY Post is big mad at NYC business leaders for not making good on the NY Post's predictions that big business would flee NYC if Mamdani instituted his platform. nypost.com/2026/08/04/b...

Mamdani is nothing but hostile to NYC business community — but leaders still won’t stand up to him

Mayor Mamdani to the business community: “Drop Dead.” And the business community is falling to the floor and rolling over.
