Third world country threatens annihilation of another country and threatens sanctions and blockage of International Criminal Court proceedings at UN General Assembly meeting. That country is the United States of America. 😢

The Trump regime is redefining the Endangered Species Act to consider only the intentional killing of endangered animals to be illegal, removing accountability for incidental harm caused by economic activities. Psychopaths.
Trump Administration Moves to Gut a Core Endangered Species Protection (Gift Article)
An internal memo reinterprets the law so that only the intentional killing of animals, not collateral harm, is illegal.

If they don’t follow up to outrageous lies, reporters are just robotic note takers.
Here's Trump tackling the serious problems facing our country today ... schools telling kids they're in the wrong bodies.🙄 AND NOT A SINGLE GOT DAMN REPORTER WILL POINT OUT THAT THIS IS NOT HAPPENING OR EVEN ASK FOR EVIDENCE BECAUSE THEY'RE A PATHETIC AND FECKLESS LOT.

D’Oh! I guess EMALS is considered too “woke” compared to steam.
I don’t understand the logic in scrapping the electromagnetic aircraft launch system (EMALS), and neither do the navy personnel who operate these carriers. Just changing shit for no reason.
Persistence is a model used for some aspects of short term weather forecasting but it is a fool’s errand to use it for forecasting climate change.
Most food system experts use martingales as their preferred statistical forecasts. Basically “what happened last year is the best predictor of what will happen next year”. When the climate is changing rapidly, that’s not only foolish, it’s deadly.
A simple rule for any journalist who cares about this country: "The lie never gets the headline or the lead sentence—the truth does, every time."
Truth Melt: Stop Leading With the Lie in Headlines
When the headline is all most people read, leading with a lie spreads it. The Truth Melt: lead with the truth, name the lie only to correct it.

Has a single reporter asked Trump publicly and directly why, if he's so convinced there's rampant voter fraud, he just gutted the agency that secures elections and fired the people whose jobs were to keep our elections safe? Seems like a pretty clear and obvious question.

Endangered ocelots and delicate coastal marsh wildlife habitat vs potential noise and debris impacts, air, water and ground pollution threats to delicate wildlife refuge habitat. What could go wrong? I’m sure Burgum has done his best to try to skirt NEPA and public input to greenlight the exchange.
Conservation and Tribal groups just asked a federal judge to halt a deal that would privatize and hand over 727 acres of #PublicLand in the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge to #SpaceX, warning that the deal could be finalized before the courts have a chance to rule on its legality.
Trump accuses Canada of "willful negligence" over the #wildfires and smoke blanketing Canada and the US. It's willful negligence all right, but on the part of Trump and every other politician who has ignored the threat of #climate change for decades.
