So, if I understand Nigel Farage's argument correctly it is: "Everyone I trusted and elevated into a position of responsibility is constantly doing crimes that benefit me but of which I somehow have no knowledge. I am a man with the character, judgement, and intelligence to run the country." Ok.

This is what oligarchy is about. While planning massive cuts to Medicaid, the Republicans are proposing to provide another $235 billion in tax breaks to the top 0.2% of households through an increase in the estate tax exemption. The very rich get richer. The poor lose health care. Outrageous.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

The US health care system is broken & wildly expensive. The function of a health care system is not to provide billions in profits for insurance & drug companies. It is to provide quality care as a human right. The time is NOW to pass Medicare for All.

This stuff makes Trump look both weak and petulant. If he heard anyone on Fox News say anything like that, every chance he either u-turns on Russia or just abandons the issue entirely. It’s no way to run the world.

Trump tweets: I am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV. Not necessary and very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP! 5000 soldiers a week are dying. Let’s get the peace deal DONE!

It's been 51 days since ANY humanitarian aid has entered Gaza. Israeli Minister of Defense Katz has said: "Israel’s policy is clear: no humanitarian aid will enter Gaza."   This is a war crime.   We must end our complicity. NO more military aid for Netanyahu's war machine.
