This is not a spoof. He posted it himself
h/t Heather Marshall, FaceBook: Select all squares that are blue
This is VERY IMPORTANT. The President of the United States, no less, is discussing it, and that, I think, needs to go viral (or algal); you know what you have to do
$300 billion is too big a number to imagine. So here's what it means; Trump will be paying TO Iran $870 for every single person in the US. And that's just the Development Fund payment
Am I paranoid if I see here clear warning that the Republicans are laying the ground for denying the validity of the November election? And if I am not paranoid, what are the counter-tactics?
You don't understand. He really did think it was an image of himself as a doctor. He's so healthy that he hasn't had to see a doctor for 2,000 years
Chutzpah. Old definition; a parricide seeking compassionate sentencing because he's an orphan. New definition; JD Vance lecturing the Pope on Catholic theology
Science under Siege, Michael Mann and Peter Hotez (Review), 3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily... Science, and indeed any sense of reality, is increasingly under threat from governments, especially in the US, and the oligarchs who control them. Such a level of disdain for truth, 1/2
MTG of all people! And well worth a read for it own sake. But why is every pastor in every pulpit not also saying this?
How did Judas die? Answers in Genesis has the answer paulbraterman.wordpress.com/2026/04/04/h... In which I show that the Answers in Genesis style of literalism is absurd, offensive, and in its own way deeply irreverent.
Markwayne Mullin was a 2020 election denier and he will be a 2026 election denier. He *must not* be put in charge of homeland security
This in my email inbox. Have they no shame? (Rhetorical question) But what is going through the mind, if that is not too strong a word, of anyone who replies to this?
Operation Epic Distraction - Ann Telnaes
ICEJanuary is a dress rehearsal for ICE November
Keeping safe while documenting ICE theconversation.com/filming-ice-... [Forgive me for advising from position of safety, but this is important expert advice] Some key points: When you post footage, you may be sharing identifiable faces, tattoos, voices, license plates, school logos or even a 1/5

This is not satire. How can any American tolerate this senile megalomaniac narcissist as President?
Stranger things have happened, and indeed are happening
And in case you think I'm being insensitive, remember that in the wake of school shootings, Kirk did say that they were worth it, to preserve the freedom [sic] guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment
Of Pandas and People, which the Dover School District board attempted to promote in the classroom
I simply do not understand how the UK government can be so blind to the electoral consequences, let alone anything else, of such a display of inhumanity. I attach the letter from Barry Gardiner, himself a Labour MP, to the Justice Secretary. It is well worth reading
UK friends: I have written to my (Labour) MP saying: "I cannot improve on Barry Gardiner's [also Labour MP] wording, and would ask you to write in similar terms. I must also point out that among people who only two years ago were among Labour's strongest supporters, 1/3
ICYMI. Not only loathesome, but utterly deranged. And in charge of nuclear weapons
