Donald Trump's government condemned the planet today by eliminating the climate change endangerment finding that has been global scientific consensus for decades.

They also told a Senate committee after watching a video in slow motion that Alex Pretti was "fighting back nonstop" when federal agents shot him while he was pinned to the ground. In Minneapolis, prosecutors quietly asked a judge to dismiss the charges against a man other agents shot 10 days before Pretti was killed. They had no evidence to support the arrest of the second of three people they shot in 17 terrifying January days. Border czar Tom Homan said today they would leave Minnesota, but thousands remain jailed and a federal judge had to order ICE to let detainees contact their lawyers.

As Orwell wrote in 1984, "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." Call or write your state attorney general and demand they challenge the EPA revocation in court. Multiple AGs are already preparing to sue. Make sure yours is one of them.

As a US Citizen all I can see is that for the rest of my life the law suits that will be around this time. So many basic rights violations and lies and yippee I get to help pay for all the mistakes.

Iaimtomisbehave

#19 Yeah, better keep your shooters paid. They are the ones with the guns after all.

kjbopp

#5 is like - you can't suppress or turn away our brain-washing machines, or we will punish you for not Hitler saluting our dear leader. WTF :o(

reurra

#8 & #10 are alarming.

BeckyLookAtHerButt

7. So, Hegseth violated his oath of office to support the Constitution. When does he get removed?

whereismymind86

#5

What federal law motherfucker?

BlazeMarshall

Even if there is a law, Fox is not news, and they fought in court to get that recognized, so they can fuck off.

sqow

Thank you, OP.

SchuKadaj

#4 He didn't endanger the planet. The planet will exist after humanity is wiped away. It'll take millennia likely for humanity to once more rise again. We will literally be the end of ourselves. People like the pedo in chief are the major reasons.

JackingMeHoff

#2 Trump has always been anti-science. Fingers crossed there's not another pandemic for he'll take the same approach as he did with Covid - do nothing.

PuzzledCompletely

Do nothing might be an improvement. Currently he's actively working against science.

This seems helpful today: https://www.gocomics.com/breaking-cat-news/2026/02/13

DidCatchABreak

Thank you, George

#4 biggest news by a mile

PieSpie

yep. where are the people behind the doomsday clock? they might need to make an adjustment.

adamlstf9

Lol, climate change is fake, obviously! (/S, big fuckin S).

DesdemonaMoor

#2: "Reporting today from STAT suggests that the decision to refuse Moderna’s application was not unanimous. Sources told STAT that Vinay Prasad, MD, director of CBER, overruled career scientists who had been preparing to move forward with a formal review.".

This is so detrimental to the future of vaccine clinical trials and will certainly negatively impact cancer research. No one left to care if we're all dead of treatable & preventable diseases I guess.

TheFastpaws

Scritches!

iamthemurray

Legitimately thank you for your dedicated work. I don't know if you have a team who helps collate or if your solo but thank you

There are some lovely folks who do quality checking and tech help, but nightly production is usually all me. I'm glad to do so and you're very welcome.

veronicablood

YOU CAN'T REVOKE A SCIENTIFIC FINDING, INSUFFERABLE DIPSHTS, THAT IS JUST LYING

Discordians

No ofc not, but of the government doesnt recognise it then they can deny funding for further research and also deny giving penalties to any organisation or company that may be a major contributor as in their eyes there is no evidence that supports the claim.

thanks for this eloquent description of fascism.

amaihai

I cannot imagine the stress for those of you that are parents. I mourn the next generation.

parents, women, queer folk, minorities, ... (And of course, all of those who check more than one of those boxes.)

two mixed race teenagers, let me tell you, it is a HARD time to be a parent.

Peace. Not an easy world in any time.

viila

#6 - Go on. Hand those posts to us. You're never getting them back. They should have been European in the first place and from now on they will be.

mormacil

US remains on the critical ones, they're just giving us the ones that cost them the most to run. Agreed they should be ours but they're not actually giving the top ones to us.

us certainly doesn't deserve them. please, take them

Anything that shrinks the us military is good as far as I’m concerned

HoneNathan

TBF the Pentagons 3rd ranking official is probably much more qualified for that meeting than Hegseth.

Nice.

spittytrinkles

Look beyond Trump. The US has set it itself up as the Ultimate Superpower. It has, as most do, overreached. China and Russia are playing the long game. But they too are dependent on Populist support. World War III will be The People toppling the Status Quo.

We are done with this Shit.

Albert Pike said ww3 would be the muslims versus the jews. did you read point number one?

And Mike the Pigeon Kisser said Violet is the saltiest of these nine accents.
What is your point?

Sorry. I thought we were just making word soup. It feeds the AI, Monkey chrome is feather but Tuesday smells faster.

That idea stems from a popular conspiracy theory regarding a letter written by Albert Pike to Giuseppe Mazzini in 1871.

Pike, a prominent 19th-century Freemason, outlined three world wars in a letter to Mazzini. According to Pike, the third war would be caused by tensions between "political Zionism and the leaders of the Islamic world," aiming for mutual destruction and global exhaustion.

I'm pretty exhausted, how about you?

I will not bow down to prophesies. I have stumbled over my dropped KFC and seen the way the bones aligned! Five Second Rule is just as serious. I bet there are more people that believe in the five second rule than are in your cult.

#15 here's an explaination: he got paid for it

CHARCHIMUS

$eriou$ly, are you $ure? per$onally I cant think of a $ingle rea$on $uch a thing would happen? (/$)

thedarktowerguy

Probably, but why the pardons? One of 'em was dead and all of them were out of prison for more than a decade.

TK421isAFK

For the living ones, probably to restore their gun rights, improve their credit ratings, and make them eligible for school/college jobs.

yalczero

Remember, he has dementia. He probably thought they had just been sent to prison.

Does a pardon erase the priors? If so that might be the angle.

No, it’s actually the opposite.
