Over the last month, Trump’s mental decline has appeared to worsen. Consider: On Sunday, he posted an image claiming that Barack Obama had been collecting millions in taxpayer dollars from “royalties linked to Obamacare.” (The bogus item was from satirical website the “Dunning-Kruger Times”)

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

It’s wild how casually we say “42 million people are on SNAP” like that’s just a normal statistic.
That’s 12% of the entire country—in the richest nation on earth—relying on government help just to eat.
That shouldn’t be a data point we shrug off.
That’s a national emergency.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

The best way to skewer authoritarianism is with absurdity.
The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.
This is truly terrifying.

For Indigenous People’s Day, I’d like to infodump about the Cahokia mound. Built near present day St. Louis around 1000 CE, it was a vast trade hub with a population of about 20,000. This made it the largest city north of Mexico on the continent, bigger than London and Paris at the time!

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️🌈

Is this the future of AI scamming? Michael Smith, 52, from North Carolina, allegedly used AI to automatically generate hundreds of thousands of songs that he put on streamers like Spotify & then used an army of bots to “listen” to the tracks. Netting him over $10 million in streaming royalties.

In the glorious annals of human oddness, there are inventions that solve problems, and then there are inventions that solve problems with gusto. The falcon sex hat belongs squarely in the latter category.
Yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like. And yes, it worked.

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.

Neutrality or discrimination?
When it comes to republican lawmakers and their flag policies, It’s usually the latter, regardless of how they word it. And if you look at Utah Representative Trevor Lee’s social media history, it’s obvious his bill, HB77, was designed to specifically target the LGBTQ
