This land is your land. Public lands are part of what makes America so great. I learned that while living in Wyoming and Idaho. I'm very happy to read this article. America, y'all. Fuck the Mike Lees Now read up on what NPS is trying to do in Yosemite and Cumberland Island NPs and send a comment.

Voters in the Equality State finally felt the threat to public lands had reached a critical point, observers say.

I am deeply honored to earn the endorsement of Senator Chris Murphy, a true champion who has never backed down from taking on powerful special interests to protect our communities.

The unfortunate thing is that she is right. I live in a red state and at difficult moments when we all share our misery I've been told that Trump will fix... but how? I ask...and the answer is by getting men out of girls sports. It's their security blanket.

Establishment Dems call for "unity" while trash talking progressives. I'm all for unity and don't expect every state to support the candidates I prefer. But you are NOT actually seeking unity when you're constantly saying "Our way or get out of the tent".

I'm wondering whether the folks freaking out about Mamdani's grocery stores feel the same way about all the food banks out there that that receive public funding.

The DSA is high on their own supply.

Jon Stewart's long form IV with Mamdani is great. ZM's vision of DSism is so well articulated and everyone who is scared of it or embraces it can learn from this. He's just trying to make his city better for everyone and that includes fiscal responsibility. www.iheart.com/podcast/867-...

I feel like reaching a deal to let Saudi Arabia enrich uranium really hurts our bargaining position with Iran. Terrible move at this moment. I can only assume that this benefits Jared and Jr's business interests, which obviously take priority over pretty much everything else.

The GOP called Kamala and Hillary communists too.

Wow. Read this. This guy seems like an epic toxic POS who needed MH care instead of a badge and a gun. Fuck ICE. Honestly kind of a harrowing read. apnews.com/article/ice-...

I fully expect Mitch McConnell to make a full recovery after having delivered Lindsey Graham to the devil in exchange for his own life. It's witchcraft folks. Pure and simple.

Both Trump and Ted "having the trophy in the office really paid off" Cruz need to stfu.

Once Trump is out of office he and his cult will claim that America as a group celebrated 250 by showering him with money and demanding that a bunch of monuments be built to him. "It was the most beautiful thing. America was united on its 250th birthday in its love for me".

Is Trump trying to undermine the negotiations or does he actually think that his posturing causes people to fear and respect him?

We started a war in partnership with Israel and now the future of free seas depends on our ability to keep them from bombing Lebanon. All the rest of this is fluff until we resolve this problem. We went from ruling the world to having TWO masters in less than 6 months. Fuck you Trump and enablers

No shit.

World Cup vibes are too good for the Trump admin. I'm thinking that if you are in the delicate dance of trying to negotiate a peace settlement from an extremely challenging position maybe you treat the other side's WC team with a little sportsmanship and dignity. apnews.com/article/worl...

Watching Morning Joe with the heads of Axios talking about how CEOs need to lead. They need to lead by leading. Be competent and lead. Yess people say we are out of touch because insane salaries and sure you should pay fairly but really, we just need to lead. Be leaders!

I love this. I've worked at jobs when everyone is righteously pissed at management and no one will actually say out loud what we all think. Journalism and politics aside, props to Scott Pelley for stepping up for all his colleagues. Hell yeah. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/b...

I feel like the more often we bomb Iran in the midst of peace negotiations the worse any potential deal is going to get.

What do when pretty much everyone in the whole damn country, regardless of their politics, doesn't want any part of your industry? You slap a photo of a protest with a Palestinian flag in it on your claim that anyone who doesn't want a data center in their community is un-American.

I sure as hell hope someone is supervising our Bumbling Idiot in China. Lord knows what kind of trouble he can get us into.

1/3 of the people roll their eyes and think it's staged. 1/3 of the people are just too tired of the neverending chaos to care. Trump has created a world in which most people have just stopped giving a shit about the President. This isn't a good thing at all, but it is a situation he created

Cole Allen wrote that "turn the other cheek" didn't apply because he had to correct a wrong. He was writing as a Christian. Just like Hegseth claiming that God supports war when the warmonger is justified. This is Trumpworld's theology at work.

I don't think we should be in a cease fire that depends on Israel complying with a cease fire. We need our own thing that they don't get to just fuck up for us if Netanyahu feels needy or whatever. We can barely handle our own shit.

The breakdown on how we got here. Fuck Netanyahu (Strait of Hormuz? No problem!) and fuck Gen Caine and Susie Wiles for not being willing to say "No, this is a bad idea". It IS your job to be honest when he asks your advice. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/u...

The Peace Board is a scam and I don't see how it's within his core constitutional powers to be Chairman for life of a non-governmental entity that brokers real estate deals. Is ordering this billion dollar financial transfer to this slush fund even an official act? I'd argue he has no immunity here.

Military scholars and nerds: who is running this war? Trump, Miller, Hegseth, Gen. Cain, Jared? I feel like we normally have some sense of who is deciding to send in the Marines but I really have no idea who is in charge of this shit. I'm sure that's intentional but maybe y'all have an idea?

So, apparently the point of the Board of Peace is to broker commercial real estate deals among entities who have paid the billion dollar entry fee, and in this case also invested in the Witkoff family's personal crypto company. Wow. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/26/u...

Iran has had the same Leader since the 80s. There was a strong contingent wanting a reform minded successor less hostile to the US. Had we managed the moment, we might have gotten there. Instead, we get a young hard-line leader chosen out of anger and spite. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/w...

Maaaaan. Shady as fuck. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/b...

ELI5: whats the draw of going to Dubai to live or vaca? I see luxe hotels and shopping, which you can find in many other places. Are there beautiful natural sights? A great street food scene? Arts that can't be seen elsewhere? Golf? Why is this a popular place? What's the target vaca demographic?

If I were Iranian I think I'd want regime change. I'd also know that Trump is going to expect to control the direction of the next government as well as a fat oil gratuity.
