I almost forgot to wish #DonaldTrump a happy birthday! Dear Donald, please accept my sincere wishes that this will be your last birthday as a free man.

US welcomes the decision of #Canada and #Netherlands to initiate legal proceedings at the International Court of Justice to hold #Syria accountable “for the reported torture of thousands of individuals at the hands of the Assad regime.”

#TrumpCorrupt He can’t make up his mind and his dummies don’t seem to care. All he had to do was say sorry, my mistake, take them, but now after his inditement,, reports are besides claiming the classified documents were planted, they are his to keep. He is basically trying to rewite the laws on the power of his populism. How much will stick? He is going for broke and if he can prevail, we as a Nation WILL KEEP SLIDING DOWN.

#Evangicals #PatRobertson failed Christians? GOP: We’ll blow our dog whistles and who cares if we are with the Devil, these poor lost souls will come a run’n to their twisted version of The Golden Calf. 😪

Will be fun to watch law enforcement claim to have been totally caught by surprise again when they somehow fail to show up with all of their heavily militarized crowd control gear they're always so eager to bust out whenever a leftist protest blocks a sidewalk.

@TexasObserver @delger Texas GOP has always seemed to be more about business and profits of which a clean environment stands in the way of that goal as far as they are concerned. My understanding is that pollution monitoring has been shut down in the state as much as possible. I live near Houston. 😢

“Why must we wait until we have irreparable damage to do something?”
When it comes to the historic #Brazos river, one company reigns supreme—as the top polluter—of this vital waterway. As her final contribution as our staff writer, @delger takes us down the "The River of the Arms of God" and looks at the damage done by #Dow: https://www.texasobserver.org/dow-brazos-river-pollution-nurdles/

@Huntn00 True, he didn't get the showing he was hoping for.
Dude not having a good evening 😂
@drclareharris If we have any moral authority left, apparently we do when a (normal) moderate holds the Presidency, then it should have been damn well expected. The problem is that half of Congress lacks MA or exercises Trump morality which is only to serve themselves, their train wreck of a Party, and always mindful to keep their Koolaid drinkers drunk on Orange Elixer.

1) Canada looks headed for its worse #fireseason ever according to Environment Canada and it’s only June.
Unusual as well, are dry and drought conditions across the whole country.
The cadre of #firefighters across #Canada is down by 30k personal. Luckily, countries around the world are sending firefighters to help out.

2) My guess?
It’s a perfect storm of #climatechange, economic factors that lead volunteer firefighters needing to find paying work and some loss of the available pool of firefighters due to #covid deaths and #LongCovid.
What would help?
Pay firefighters what they are worth and find money for permanent firefighting jobs.
Elect public official who understand the science behind #climate change and who are willing to take immediate action to address it.

I don’t love that Apple screws people into paying more for stuff that you could upgrade aftermarket on every other laptop, but I could see this being a great choice.

@Jaden2@mstdn.social so instead of plugging your ears, you get to drip profusely.😅

"It is one thing, again, kind of legally, to take classified documents and not know that they’re classified, and then, when you’re informed that they’re classified, to give them back. Right? That’s what a normal human does. That’s what a normal former president or former vice president does. If they found that they took something that they shouldn’t have, they give it back."
