Something's going to break due to disrepair or clouded operator judgement, people are going to die, and Trump is going to blame it on sabotage. Mark my words.

I've decided to compile a definitive thread of photos of the best sheep I've photographed during my walks in the countryside, together with supporting biographical information. I will put the vital story associated with each sheep in the alt text, since some of it is a little long to fit in a post.

More than half of Americans have cut out eating out just to afford other necessities. That’s not belt tightening, that’s a country getting squeezed dry while corrupt Republicans pretend the economy’s fine. We don’t fix that by staying quiet. #BlueWaveIn90Days

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

Pretty sure when you win the election it's a big election night. Pretty sure when your party's leadership all endorses the loser, it means the leadership is out of touch with the electorate.

Progressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted

Despite being shown boxes of evidence by his own appointee, Trump would rather punish innocent American citizens to cover his mistakes. The man is a monster and everyone that supports him should be voted out of office Sometimes it’s that simple.

New in PN: Jeanine Pirro crashes into the limit of Trump's lies "Did Pirro genuinely believe the scales would fall from Trump’s eyes if she showed him some pictures from the Park Service proving his contractor was at fault for the wrecked pool? This is Donald Trump we’re talking about!"

Jeanine Pirro crashes into the limit of Trump's lies

It's one thing to bullshit on Fox. It's another to lie in court.

I liked America better when we were forgiving of immigrants and cynical about rich people. I also liked it better when people liked the rebel alliance and hated the Empire.

This day in history. 1981. Ronald Reagan fired all the air traffic controllers but you can't blame him for destroying the American middle class because his wife's astrologer made him do it.

Explains so much. Iran. Immigration. Tariffs. The list goes on and on. We are ruled by a madman

It's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...

RFK Jr's CDC reportedly scaled back foodborne disease tracking last year, removing cyclospora from mandatory reporting. The CDC also lost roughly 3,000 employees since 2025. Now a cyclosporiasis outbreak has killed 2 and sickened thousands across 45 states. "Make America Healthy Again."

Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.

A new Senate investigation says JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank and Bank of America processed massive sums tied to Jeffrey Epstein despite glaring red flags. Powerful institutions helped keep his operation running and every one of them must be held accountable. Follow the money, release everything.

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.

Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."

“The fight isn’t over yet.” Jeffrey Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky says Todd Blanche’s confirmation effort is “depressing,” but she’s not giving up. Don’t let the Epstein files disappear from the conversation. Survivors deserve justice. ⚖️ #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

Donald Trump’s tariff refund for mega-corporations: Amazon: $600 million Apple: $2.2 billion Walmart: $2.4 billion His tariff refund for working Americans: $0. Once again, Trump is putting corporations and billionaires over working families.

‘Dissatisfied’ Trump Orders Changes To White House Helipad

Construction quietly began on the helipad—one of many concurrent construction projects at the White House—in June.

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

sometimes fantasy authors come up with the concept "there are things older than history and prehistory.. otherworldly things the human mind cant comprehend" and for Lovecraft that means "monster so freaky it drives you insane" and for Tolkien it means "some guy named Tom with an extremely fine wife"

This fucking dumbass doesn't seem to realize that plenty of right wing agitators have tried and failed to propogate here. And it's because the devs gifted us with the nuclear block. So they got bored and left. But sure, try and get more fash and reactionaries over here I guess.

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

Look who's getting back into politics. If you notice a noxious odor drifting through your state, check the candidate's donors. As a general rule, if Musk is supporting someone, that's a good indication to vote for their opponent. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks www.commondreams.org/opinion/elon...

The mega-billionaire's promise to spend somewhere between $100 and $120 million on congressional races this year shouldn’t be viewed as a problem. It should be recognized as an opportunity.

The Republicans have already shown themselves to care not at all for our Constitution. There’s apparently no bottom to this if they confirm Blanche, who has weaponized the Justice Dept to be a personal legal arm for Donald Trump, protecting his wealth and lawbreaking and persecuting his opponents.

NEWS: For nearly 20 years, Epstein moved over $1B through the major banks. The banks looked away. Sen. Wyden’s 3-year probe exposes it all. But most damning? How Trump and the GOP tried to bury it.

Trump met with Jeanine Pirro and tild her she “choked” after she concluded the Reflecting Pool damage wasn’t caused by vandals. Since when is it acceptable for a president to publicly pressure prosecutors over charging decisions? Isn’t that what the “swamp” or the “deep state” is
