RE: https://flipboard.social/@newsguyusa/116415088384481830 “In a prayer delivered by US Defense Secretary Hegseth during a Pentagon worship service yesterday…” FULL STOP. It does not matter what follows. It does not matter what words or what book or movie or religious faction he claims to represent, the very fact that he is leading a prayer service in prayer at work is wrong. It violates the constitution and decades of legal precedence. Separation of church and state. Do your praying and wors...

I was trying to have a civil discussion with someone on Nextdoor when he offhandedly made the comment, “if global warming were true…” and now I’m trying to decide if I should block him or just delete the whole damn app completely. ☹️

I’m just happy we can pause a beat before we wage more war to reopen the Strait of Hormuz—a vital shipping route which WAS OPEN before the war to reopen the Strait even began. #NoWarWithIran #FuckTrump #fascist #fascism #kakistocracy

@GregArcus@mastodon.world @BrianJopek@mastodon.world This is why we (are supposed to) have separation of church and state.

The Convicted-Felon-in-Chief pledges to commit war crimes if he doesn’t get his way.

@emb_cit@mastodon.social I loathe all AI so much. This is just another example of why. Glad you were wise to go beyond the AI slop to find the correct answer. Hope you were rewarded with a good meal for your efforts, too!

@ThatWeltschmerz@kolektiva.social All Federal employees get training in what sex trafficking is, how to recognize it, and the laws that prohibit Federal employees from participating regardless of where you are. Good on those who remained faithful to their duty and turned him in.

@hikinghack@mastodon.social @internetarchive@mastodon.archive.org I am seeing this as well. The art is the figure 1 trillion but the name of the installation appears to be 1 billion. ?

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@MightyRedPanda/116301579373189667 Seems like this deserves more attention. A significant incursion at a U.S. airbase.

Got this political campaign postcard in the mail today. Is there anything to back up this claim of “the safest southern border in the history of our country”?

Regarding Trump’s mobilization of components of the 82nd Airborne: recall that in 1983, President Reagan diverted Marines who were en route to Lebanon to instead participate in the invasion of Grenada.
