One of the most enduring questions about the discoveries of Homo naledi fossils in the Rising Star cave system: How did these ancient hominins find their way into the remote Dinaledi Subsystem of the cave? New research from Dirk van Rooyen is answering this question.

The administration is a perfect storm of dumb people who enjoy inflicting pain and are addicted to psychotic cruelty and quadrupling down. It ends in total ruin if you don't impeach him.
🇺🇸🚫 “Senator Graham and Senator Blumenthal, along with 48 other senators have come forward with an initiative on “serious sanctions against Russia,” which impose 500% secondary duties on imported goods from all countries that buy oil, gas… products from Russia, if it attack after peace agreement.
The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.
Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.
Trickle down economics was always a hoax.
I will remind people why things got better in the early 20th century, the workers organised, they went on strike, they refused to work unless they got what they wanted.
The richest had to cave in, because you actually have all the power.
It's time for it to happen again.
To be clear, the destruction of the U.S. is the result of putting a deranged convicted felon who would fail a security clearance back in office instead of in jail and then allowing him to appoint a cabinet of unqualified criminal goons who would also fail a security clearance.
When the United States invoked NATO Article 5 after the 2001 terrorist attacks, Canada and Denmark deployed troops to Afghanistan without restricted rules of engagement. Canadians and Danes fought and died for the Americans.
Words fail on seeing the U.S. attack these allies now.
Donald Trump needs Greenland for international security.
Adolf Hitler needed Austria, so much so that he invaded and they were forced to surrender.
It was the first place he invaded.
Trump has created the illusion of getting a lot done because:
a.) Whereas past administrations were constrained by their inclination to obey the law, he doesn't give a shit
b.) He cares more about the illusion part than the actually getting stuff done part
c.) The media falls for it every damn time
"Why are we taxing working people more than billionaires?"
"Billionaires Tax Avoidance is bankrupting the Government."
"We should tax wealth not wages."

Russian forces attacked civilians in Kherson with a drone while they were restoring a building. Another deliberate strike on innocent people just trying to rebuild.
At the Mike Lawler empty chair town hall in Peekskill, 102 year old Dee in danger of losing her Medicaid, heard FDR on the radio in 1935 when he created Social Security. @indivisible.org
Trump's tariffs will negatively impact almost 300,000 Wisconsin jobs—the highest percentage of any state.
77% of those affected voted for the person creating this harm.
Truth matters. Let's talk. @trygveolson.bsky.social, @toddallbaugh.bsky.social
While Elon and Trump plot to gut Medicaid to give a big tax break to rich people, Arizonans are worried about losing their health care. If Republicans are too scared to host their own town halls, I’ll bring these stories to them in DC.
A special thank you to the brave men & women who risk their lives to fight wildfires and keep our communities safe. I had the pleasure of meeting with Hemet City Fire Fighter Association Pres. Dave Prietto and VP Dan Billington to discuss the countless lives, homes, & businesses they've have saved.
‼️🛳️ Russian captain of the Portuguese-flagged Solong has been arrested for manslaughter after the ship T-boned the U.S.-flagged Stena Immaculate, which was carrying Jet-A1 fuel for the U.S. Department of Defense.
Solong’s crew, mostly Russian nationals, made no effort to slow down before impact.
A leaked memo reveals that DOGE's next target is the VA, with plans to fire more than 80,000 agency workers who provide critical services to veterans and their families.
More than 25% of agency staff are veterans themselves.
How is this "efficiency"?
Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...
Elon Musk and Donald Trump are trying to make you believe that they are cutting “waste,” but they’re actually reaching into your wallet to fund tax cuts for their “rich as hell” friends.
Spread the word.
