So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
Wait. They are releasing Epstein files to distract Americans from the war in Iran now?

Just got back from my time traveling dinosaur safari and you won’t believe how many butterflies I stepped on! Now to take a big sip of water and check on President Harris’s trip to Davos
MN Doctor: I learned that Renee Good still had a pulse 8 minutes after she was shot by an ICE agent. Yet the offer to administer aid from a physician on the scene was denied. I can't say how much that stirs the blood of everyone here as we try to fulfill our oath to care for the people of Minnesota
Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

We all have a right to be angry at GOP voters -- that almost goes without saying. But I still maintain a special reserve of vitriol for people who can't be bothered to vote at all. They, by themselves, could have prevented this. They, by themselves, can stop this whenever they want to.
I’m doing my best to make it happen, humans.
A felon who married an immigrant is telling a lot of y’all that the problems in this country all stem from felons and immigrants.
But keep buying that stupid red hat that’s made in China.
semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003
when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out
A win! A federal judge ruled that the Department of Energy must immediately restore nearly $28 million in environmental grant funding after determining the money was unlawfully withheld from recipients in states Trump lost in the 2024 presidential election to Kamala Harris.
I made a compilation video of ICE slipping on ice and set it to the Benny Hill theme song. Enjoy.
Trying to remind myself, we’re just animals who learned to walk upright and use our thumbs.
Wanda Sykes thanks Ricky Gervais for not being there because it means she can accept the award on his behalf... and he's gonna thank God and the trans community (he won, she did) #GoldenGlobes
Northern lights in the backyard this past fall. Radiant beams of purple, red, and green fall upward. Is it possible? Dark leaf-nude trees can also be seen.
Oxygen atoms,
Excited electrons pulse,

This regime excels at one thing. Killing people in a myriad of ways, each crueler than the one before.

Here's a nice picture I took, because the world isn't all shit and we need to remember that❤️
Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting "They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head." An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911
"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries. "We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.
You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

Put the day down where it belongs.
Whatever stays heavy don’t need to come with you into sleep.
The music can wait.
The world can wait.
Get some rest.
Night.

Again,
Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.
