What to Know as the US Attacks Iran While Trump Urges Iranians to Take Over Their Government The U.S. and Israel have launched major attacks on Iran that President Donald Trump says aim to crush Iran's military.

At least 57 people were reported killed and 45 others wounded at a girls’ school in southern Iran in the Israeli-U.S. strikes.

One of the first strikes hit near the offices of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said he's alive “as far as I know.”

The Trump faction is a kakistocracy that wants endless wars and white Christian nationalism enforced through fascist secret police and concentration camps. The Mamdani faction wants to pay people to do civic work for the benefit of all. Who is to say which is more profoundly dangerous?

sorry to historypost but there's actually a clear reason for that—American Catholics are generally descended from lower-class post-independence immigrants, while (white) American Protestants, especially in the South and Northeast, are quite often descended from colonial settlers

These people are beyond evil and the only reason that it doesn’t always seem that way is that they’re also beyond stupid.

the criticism is not widespread, it comes from a trump admin official, a museum controlled by the white house, and a trump donor's vanity anti-antisemitism organization

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed.

Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.

This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

@luhmann@hachyderm.io on Mastodon: So when Trump decides to go get Greenland he’s just going to fly in and kidnap our prime minister. Great. You have a unscrupulous and clinically insane idiot elected as your president and he wants to own the world. I have absolutely no trust in any of you Americans whether you are pronounced MAGA or if you “didn’t vote for the guy”: Your elected president is a megalomaniac dictator and it’s your fucking responsibility to stop him.

Democrats spent 3 hours per evening for 4 nights in a row on prime time television on every major network LITERALLY READING PROJECT 2025 TO AMERICA.

77 million people wanted it & another ~85 million didn't give a shit.

Failing to anticipate people would use your image generation bot to make consentless-pornography should be criminal incompetence.

Failing to include safeguards against it should be criminal negligence.

Failing to shut it down once (a) and (b) became obvious should be criminal distribution.

A imagem é composta por dois quadros retirados de uma cena dramática. No primeiro, um homem de barba, trajando roupas formais futuristas, fala com firmeza para uma mulher de costas. A legenda diz: “They don’t even bother to lie badly anymore” (“Eles nem se dão mais ao trabalho de mentir mal”). No segundo quadro, a mulher — de expressão séria e contida, vestindo um traje claro e elegante — encara o interlocutor com amargura. A legenda completa: “I suppose that’s the final humiliation” (“Suponho que essa seja a humilhação final”). O ambiente é sofisticado, com arquitetura moderna e minimalista, sugerindo um contexto político tenso e opressivo.

Stones. On an asteroid. The view is distorted because of the camera lens. The bright splotch at the top is the Sun. Honestly this looks like a riverbed.
