Man, do not pride yourself on your superiority to the animals, for they are without sin, while you, with all your greatness, you defile the earth wherever you appear and leave an ignoble trail behind

“Man, do not pride yourself on your superiority to the animals, for they are without sin, while you, with all your greatness, you defile the earth wherever you appear and leave an ignoble trail behind you — and that is true, alas, for almost every one of us!”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

Remember those states’ rights over the jack-booted feds?

For decades, section 401 has granted states and tribes the authority to approve, impose conditions on, or reject, federal permits for projects that they determine will pollute or damage local waterways.

Now, the Trump administration aims to scale back that authority in order to expedite projects and “unleash energy dominance,” said Jess Kramer, EPA assistant administrator for water, in a press briefing. “This proposed rule is the next step in ensuring that states and tribes only utilize section 401 for its statutory purpose to protect water quality and not as a weapon to shut down projects.”

No more states’ rights under Chabad-Lubavitch drenched United Snakes of Israel:

A declassified FBI memo released on 30 January states that US President Donald Trump was “compromised by Israel,” that Jeffrey Epstein was a Mossad agent, and that a Jewish religious movement, Chabad Lubavitch, had coopted Trump’s presidency.

Jamelle Bouie: Trump keeps saying they have to nationalize the elections, they have to federalize the elections, and this just depends on Congress at this point. The relevant part of the Constitution says that states shall handle elections, unless Congress decides they want to step in and do something.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is Congress saying, “We want to do something.” So, Congress has that authority. Unless Congress decides to lay down some standards, unless Congress decides that for whatever reason it wants to nationalize election administration, then I’m not sure that there is anything to worry about in that regard.

Otherwise, election administration in this country is extremely decentralized. It’s not even the case that it’s centralized in each individual state. It’s centralized in each individual precinct.

Setting aside the fact that the executive — or the president, specifically — really has no legal authority here, I want to be very clear about what I’m saying here. I’m not doing the thing where I say, “Well, we can’t do that. It’s illegal.”

But Trump’s second-term messaging strategy has been defined by a mindset that social media content is governing and that governing is also achieved through content creation.

The Department of Homeland Security, the Labor Department and other federal government accounts have shared posts that contain white supremacist rhetoric and nods to conspiracy theories like QAnon. And Trump administration staffers frequently use X to spar with critics and post memes that support the president.

Trump posts racist meme of the Obamas — then deletes it

On Friday, Trump faced uncharacteristic pushback from some fellow Republicans after sharing a video on his social media site that contained false claims of election fraud — and a short snippet of an unrelated video that contained a racist depiction of former President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama as apes.

That post was deleted, after the White House initially defended it as an “internet meme.”

Bannon is saying, “Get ICE all around polling precincts”; Trump is waiting for that phone call from Tulsi Gabbard; Tommy Tuberville is saying, “Get rid of voting machines” — you’ve got this environment where MAGA is very focused on the midterms because they’ve been governing like they’re never going to lose power.

Jews: UN peacekeepers in Lebanon say Israeli forces are increasingly harassing them

U.N. peacekeepers patrolling southern Lebanon have faced a dramatic surge of “aggressive behavior” by Israeli forces over the last year, including drone-dropped grenades and machine-gun fire, according to an internal report seen by The Associated Press.

The report by one of the 48 nations that together have more than 7,500 peacekeepers in southern Lebanon says the number of incidents jumped from just one in January to 27 in December. The hilly frontier zone where the UNIFIL force patrols has seen decades of cross-border violence. Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah militants fought a full-scale war in 2024.

The targeting of peacekeepers appears aimed at undermining the international force and strengthening Israel’s military footprint along the U.N.-drawn border with Lebanon, known as the Blue Line, the report alleges. It was shared with AP on condition that the news organization not identify the countr

From destroying calories to ‘re-engineering’ society, data and experts reveal how the hunger in Gaza was not a byproduct of war, but a calculated strategy that reached its deadliest peak in 2025.

  • The Calorie Collapse: Before the war, 500 trucks sustained Gaza daily. During the conflict, this dropped to an average of 19 trucks a day – a 96 percent reduction.
  • The Thirst War: Water availability plummeted from 84 litres per person to just 3 litres during the siege.
  • Scorched Earth: Israel systematically destroyed infrastructure for agricultural production. By August 2025, 90 percent of agricultural land was razed, 2,500 chicken farms were destroyed (killing 36 million birds), and the fishing port was obliterated.

“If Israel wanted to do it, every child in Gaza could have breakfast tomorrow,” de Waal observed. “All they need to do is to open the gates”.

Feces sticking together:

Neither Bill Clinton nor Hillary Clinton has been accused of wrongdoing and both deny having any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes. No Epstein survivor or associate has ever made a public allegation of wrongdoing or inappropriate behavior by the former president or his wife in connection with his prior relationship with Epstein.

President Donald Trump has said he thinks it’s a “shame” that the Clintons are being called by lawmakers to testify.

“It bothers me that somebody is going after Bill Clinton. See, I like Bill Clinton. I still like Bill Clinton,” Trump told NBC News in a wide-ranging interview

Fucking hell. We are feces drenched AmeriKKKa:

Shinedown have become the fourth artist to pull out of Kid Rock’s MAGA-leaning “Rock the Country” music festival, the band announced on social media Friday.

The group is the fourth artist to pull out of the festival, following Ludacris and country artists Morgan Wade and Carter Faith.

“Shinedown is everyone’s band,” the group wrote. “We feel that we have been given a platform to bring all people together through the power of music and song,” the message began. “We have one BOSS, and it is everyone in the audience. Our band’s purpose is to unite, not divide. With that in mind, we have made the decision that we will not be playing the Rock the Country Festival.

Jack-booted feds, uh?

The Trump administration was dealt another setback Thursday in its effort to use taxpayer information to track down undocumented immigrants, as a second federal judge ordered the IRS to stop sharing residential addresses with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani said the information sharing potentially violated taxpayer privacy rights. She blocked the agencies from sharing the data until the court can review the case further and barred ICE from using information already provided by the IRS.

Our research focuses on glyphosate’s impacts on AZA’s relationships with the land along with the forestry companies and provincial government that use and regulate the herbicide on their territory. Through our work with 14 First Nations that are part of the Understanding Our Food Systems project, several communities expressed great concern about environmental contaminants on their territories.

Members of the AZA have been particularly distressed about the impacts of glyphosate on their traditional food systems, the land and watershed, and the community’s health for several years. People who live and work on the land have noticed many changes and called for research and action to address these concerns.

In 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans” based on “limited” evidence it causes cancer in people and “sufficient” evidence it causes cancer in animals.

This has been of particular concern for many Indigenous communities in terms of the impact of glyphosate being sprayed on the berries, animals, medicines and fish that make up their traditional food systems.

While several health-related issues have been connected to glyphosate use, such as destruction of cells, inflammation that can damage healthy tissue and weakening of the immune system’s ability to defend the body against infections and disease, there is no clear consensus on what level is considered safe.

Department of War Crimes:

President Donald Trump’s administration blasted New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Friday for issuing an executive order reaffirming the city’s sanctuary laws, contending the directive will make the city “less safe.”

Mamdani’s order instructs all municipal agencies to ensure compliance with existing sanctuary laws, which bar city employees from assisting federal authorities in most forms of immigration enforcement. The order also directed certain public-facing agencies, including the NYPD, to have their employees undergo new training on sanctuary restrictions. The executive action did not otherwise enact any new restrictions.

“These are policies that keep New Yorkers safe,” Mamdani said of his executive order. “These are policies that are motivated by delivering public safety, not in spite of public safety.”

In Insect Biodiversity, Geoffrey G. E. Scudder writes that, “In terms of biomass and their interactions with other terrestrial organisms, insects are the most important group of terrestrial animals – so important that if all were to disappear, humanity probably could not last more than a few months.”

Afterall, insects are the biological foundation of all terrestrial ecosystems due to their primary role in cycling nutrients, pollinating plants, dispersing seeds, maintaining soil structure and fertility, controlling other organisms’ populations, and acting as a food source for other creatures. To put a number to the benefits we receive from insects, the service of insects pollinating about 75% of of our food crops is worth around $500 billion every year, without even taking into account the 80% of wild flowering plants they pollinate, which serve as the foundation for so much of the life on Earth.

Ecological harm from pesticides is growing globally, a study has found, with bugs, fish, pollinators and land-based plants among six species groups hit hardest.

Insects suffered the greatest increase in harm from synthetic farm chemicals between 2013 and 2019, the study shows, with “applied” toxicity rising by 42.9%, followed by soil organisms, which faced an increase of 30.8%.

Aquatic plants and land-based vertebrates were the only two groups for which the danger fell.

The global rise in applied toxicities of pesticides for most species groups suggested that ecosystems had become “increasingly impaired” by pesticides. “[This] directly counteracts the risk reduction target set out by the UN’s Global Biodiversity Framework.”

The 15th United Nations Biodiversity Conference (COP15) obligates all countries to reduce pesticide risks by 50% by 2030. In this study, we derived the trends of total applied toxicity (TAT) globally between 2013 and 2019, weighting applied masses by ecotoxicity, of 625 pesticides for eight species groups to assess pathways toward this reduction goal. We found that the TAT of most species groups has increased; that only 20 ± 14 pesticides per group define >90% of the TAT nationally; that fruits, vegetables, maize, soybean, rice, and other cereals contribute 76 to 83% of the global TAT; and that China, Brazil, the United States, and India contribute 53 to 68% of the global TAT. Our target achievement categorization shows that substantial actions, combining shifts to less-toxic pesticides, increased adoption of organic agriculture, and also provision of national pesticide use data, will be required globally to approach the United Nations’ target.
