Climate change is an existential threat. To Republicans, it’s a God-given right to turn our atmosphere into an open sewer. Just leave it to the kids to clean up

Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us.

Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
"NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”

When my MAGA family members begin to struggle financially,

I will not help them.

When my MAGA family members struggle to make their mortgages,

I will not help them.

When my MAGA family members struggle to put food on their tables,

I will not help them.

I have the means,

But I will not help.

My MAGA family members made a choice.

They voted against my wife, my daughters and my son.

I will never forget or forgive them.

They actually voted against themselves,

But they’re too fucking stupid to realize it.

Life is about choices.

They made theirs,

I’ve made mine.

.@realDonaldTrump's tariffs are a bully strategy. Bullying doesn’t win over time on the playground or in the international arena. This self-inflicted supply shock is a strategic gift to Xi Jinping. 1/4

[Lawrence H. Summers @LHSummers]

Just told @CNN: It is pretty rare to formulate a policy that is lose for American consumers, lose for American producers, lose for American influence in the world and only is benefiting our adversaries who are getting a great deal of satisfaction out of seeing this spectacle of traditional alliances being torn apart with these kind of threats.

🚨BREAKING: Former Trump Secretary of Defense and retired 4-star General James Mattis calls Trump “the most dangerous person” in America after previously describing him as a threat to the Constitution.

RETWEET to thank General Mattis for standing up for democracy!

It’s infuriating when it’s practically impossible to cancel something - gym membership, magazine subscription - that was so easy to sign up for.

Seeing the FTC put an end to that is one more reason I’m thankful for the Biden-Harris administration.

Excluding covid losses and recovery, Biden’s added over 2x as many auto industry jobs as Trump.

No doubt about which party has done more to help the auto industry.

[Richard Stengel @stengel]

For the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, the commander of the 82nd Airborne, the 10th Mountain Division, the head of U.S. Forces in Afghanistan, to call his former commander-in-chief a fascist, well, that's just extraordinary. Be warned.
