It's big oil and politicians bribed by big oil.

Long overdue to quit sanewashing Donald Trump. His conduct of this war is absolutely unhinged. The 25th Amendment must be invoked.

Trump ended all action to stop fossil fuels adding to climate change, and then proceeded to give an infinitely better argument for getting away from fossil fuels than we climate activists ever did.

DISTRACTIONS DON’T WORK.

COVERUPS WON’T WORK.

NOT EVEN WAR.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

"The spirit of liberty requires moral courage among the people who are elected to Congress... but it also requires all of us It requires us to speak out without fear It requires us to tell others unpleasant truths that they do not want to hear."

This is clearly fine with the GOP.

An interesting thing about coyotes vs. wolves is that coyotes LOVE fruit. Wolves tend to avoid carbos and sugar. There is a canyon near me that is covered with wild grapevines, and in season the coyote scats are entirely grape seeds and peels. They just live entirely on grapes for a couple of weeks.

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) speaks to reporters after attending a closed door briefing with Senate Armed Service Committee at the U.S. Capitol Building on March 10, 2026 in Washington, DC.

Elizabeth Warren: “For the Trump administration to say over & over, there's no money for healthcare – there's no money for childcare – there's no time to pay attention to how families are paying more – but there's a billion dollars a day to go to the Middle East & drop bombs on Iran”

This is pretty much the Democrats' last chance to stop Trump from declaring a state of emergency, suspending the Constitution, and canceling the 2026 elections. FIght now or never.

One reason is that the billionaires love him, for cutting their taxes and giving them huge sweetheart deals, and they really do call the shots a lot.

Trump has succeeded in uniting Iran behind their leaders. Now, if we do invade, it will be fighting house to house and street to street, with tens of thousands of US troops dead, and millions of Iranians.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...

"How will you pay for it?"

The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...

"How much do you need?"

It doesn't have to be this way.

Of course nobody did much.... The states of Nevada and Arizona are in almost as bad shape.

In the immortal words of Randolph Bourne (writing during and about WWI), "war is the health of the state."

Why? Because they are the only human beings vile enough to support him.

Farewell to one of the most evil scoundrels ever to disgrace California.

"Murder" implies deliberate intention, and usually implies your own species is the victim. Sort of a dubious word for this case.

All dictatorship maximize power at the top, bully and oppress the rest, and kill a lot. All of them censor.
Extremist ones add anti-intellectual, anti-science, and anti-education ideologies.
Fascists add the Master Race idea: One race should rule, the rest serve. Also national-socialism economy.

Trump destroyed our attempts to cope with global climate change, and then started a ridiculous war that will send gas prices way up, destroy a lot of oil infrastructure, and otherwise damage the fossil fuel economy.

Trump destroyed all our efforts to limit fossil fuels and then started a ridiculous war that will accomplish the same thing--with a lot of killing and destruction.

America isn't, but its president is.

So Trump has destroyed acting on global climate change, and then acted without meaning to, by starting a huge and unnecessary war that will send gas prices up and probably destroy a great deal of oil production capability.

In 2025, Meta paid an effective federal tax rate of 3.5% — its lowest on record.

Meanwhile, Meta is pumping $65 million into elections this year to boost AI friendly candidates.

Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax, it's corrosive to democracy.

Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

Stein helped Trump get elected, and as far as I'm concerned she's just a MAGAt.

Not all of us!

I should have known that's where Trump got his idea.

I fear and dread him running for president. Even Vance might beat him.

Paid for by cutting welfare payments, eliminating US science, slashing aid to education, and above all by almost destroying the US health care system.

Yeah, sadly, we coyotes can't eat either chocolate or many of the tree nuts. Well, live gophers are consoling.

Ancient Greece and Rome gave us democracy, philosophy, science, values, technology, and a few things like that.... Nothing that MAGA types count as civilization.
