The fact that science is not at the base of everything is so baffling to me. Everyone is just claiming things and arguing without any backup and meanwhile We Can Know Stuff. I’m not sure if anyone told you guys but there are ways to find out this stuff

Read the Project 2025 manifesto RIGHT NOW

It's MUCH worse than y'all have been hearing

There is so much here you'll have to look at it for yourself, but the climate policy alone is nightmare fuel.

The republican coalition wants to essentially end funding for green energy, dramatically promote and expand fossil fuel industries, and eliminate funding and regulations in all sectors promoting climate change mitigation. Task forces and offices related to clean energy and lowering carbon emissions will be eliminated and replaced with offices for promoting fossil fuels.

They want to LOG NATIONAL FORESTS TO "THIN" THE TREES TO STOP WILDFIRES.

THEY WANT TO FORCE OREGON AND CALIFORNIA TO LOG THEIR NATIONAL FORESTS AND TREAT THEM AS FOR TIMBER PRODUCTION

There are specific provisions in Project 2025 to essentially destroy the Endangered Species Act, causing it to defer to the rights of "economic development" and "private property." The plan includes delisting gray wolves, cutting the budget so that a "triage" system is used to determine which species will get protection, removing funding for research, removing experts and specialists from the decision-making process, and preventing "experimental" populations of animals from being established.

This is so much worse than I expected it to be and there's much more past that: They want to deregulate pesticides and remove much of the EPA's ability to regulate pollutants as well.

Also included in the manifesto is that we should

withdraw from nuclear weapons nonproliferation agreements, build more nuclear weapons, and resume nuclear weapons testing

The manifesto comprehensively outlines the scorched-earth elimination of abortion access, down to ensuring doctors aren't even trained to perform abortions. There are plans in here to disrupt abortion access GLOBALLY, not just domestically.

Not only that,the Republicans plan on reframing family planning programs around "fertility awareness" and "holistic family planning."

I can't even describe it all. I'm trying to give screenshots of the most important things but there's so much.

The foreign policy is a nightmare. They plan to push fossil fuels onto the Global South and promote the development of fossil fuel industry in the "developing world."

It is aggressive and antagonistic towards other nations, strongly pro-military, proposing that we INCREASE (!!!!!) defense spending, improve public opinion of the military and military recruitment, and increase the power to fund new weapons technology.

Just read the Department of Defense section. It's about greatly increasing and strengthening the military-industrial complex, collaborating more closely with weapons manufacturers, removing regulatory barriers to arming our allies and to inventing new military weapons, and recruiting more people into the military. They include provisions to develop AI technology for surveillance. And of course, continuing to support Israel is in there.

Elsewhere it proposes interfering in foreign countries with creepy pro-USA propaganda campaigns, even establishing international educational programs where faculty have to pledge to promote USA interests.

There's a line in here about getting rid of PBS because SESAME STREET is LEFTIST for God's sake.

HOW are people claiming democrats have the same policies. I feel like i'm losing my mind.

Very hard to stop thinking about the new dutch coalition agreement containing several points that go against international treaties and against existing dutch law.

The US Sent Cluster Munitions to Ukraine But Activists Still Seek to Bolster a Treaty Banning Them

Geneva, Switzerland — Backers of an international agreement that bans cluster munitions are striving to prevent erosion in support for the deal after what one leading human rights group calls an “unconscionable” U.S. decision to ship such weapons to Ukraine for its fight against Russia.

Advocacy groups in the Cluster Munitions Coalition released their latest annual report on Tuesday, ahead of a meeting next week of envoys from the 112 countries that have acceded to or ratified the Convention on Cluster Munitions. The treaty prohibits the explosives and calls for clearing areas where they litter the ground because they harm and kill many more civilians than combatants,

A further 12 countries have signed the convention. The United States and Russia are not among them.

Mary Wareham of Human Rights Watch, who has long championed the 15-year-old convention, says the coalition was “extremely concerned” about the U.S. move in July, after an intense debate among U.S. leaders, to transfer unspecified thousands of 155mm artillery-delivered cluster munition rounds to Ukraine.

More than 20 government leaders and officials have criticized that decision, the coalition says.

Hoping to avoid defections from the convention, Wareham says supporters hope signatories will “stay strong — that they do not weaken their position on the treaty as a result of the U.S. decision. And we don’t see that happening yet. But it’s always a danger.”

U.S. officials argue that the munitions — a type of bomb that opens in the air and releases smaller “bomblets” across a wide area — could help Kyiv bolster its offensive and push through Russian front lines.

U.S. leaders have said the transfer involves a version of the munition that has a reduced “dud rate,” meaning fewer of the smaller bomblets fail to explode. The bomblets can take out tanks and equipment, as well as troops, hitting multiple targets at the same time.

But Wareham cited “widespread evidence of civilian harm that (is) caused by these weapons. It was just an unconscionable decision.”

The report says civilians accounted for 95% of cluster munition casualties that were recorded last year, totaling some 1,172 in eight countries: Azerbaijan, Iraq, Laos, Lebanon, Myanmar, Syria, Ukraine, and Yemen. The monitor noted efforts in places like Bulgaria, Peru and Slovakia to destroy their stockpiles of the munitions in 2022 and earlier this year.

Children made up 71% of casualties from explosions of cluster-munition remnants last year, the report said.

It said Russia had “repeatedly” used cluster munitions in Ukraine since President Vladimir Putin ordered Russian forces to invade Ukraine in February last year, while Ukraine had used them “to a lesser extent.”

Washington’s decision “is certainly a setback,” said Wareham, “but it’s not the end of the road for the Convention on Cluster Munitions by far.”

For thousands of years, Kettle Falls was a vital salmon fishing ground for the Sinixt, but early 20th-century dam construction blocked salmon migration.

Wrongfully declared extinct in Canada in 1956, the Sinixt fought for recognition and were officially acknowledged as Aboriginal Peoples of Canada in 2021.

In 2023, the U.S. government signed a $200 million agreement with a coalition of tribes, including the Sinixt, to fund an Indigenous-led salmon reintroduction program into the Columbia River system above dams in Washington.

Sinixt leaders say this project is an important effort to help right a historical wrong in the legacy that led to their “extinction” status, while many hope to one day join salmon efforts on their traditional territory in Canada.

The Woodland Park Zoo is my home zoo, and the possibility of a strike has been brewing for a while. The staff at the zoo have been working without a union contract for over 200 days because the zoo is unwilling to pay them a living wage.

Zookeepers around the country are consistently underpaid, and Seattle is an incredibly expensive place to live. The zoo is losing animal care staff rapidly - I've been told they'd lost five keepers and a vet tech to another nearby AZA zoo this year alone - because they can't afford to live here. And I've been told that because there's no contract, the zoo is on a hiring freeze, which means they're perpetually understaffed.

Photo credit: Yulia Issa

There was an informational picket outside of a big event last month, which got a ton of community support. Then the only content the zoo put out for National Zookeepers Week was a single post about how much gratitude the staff are owed, which... hmmmm, came off a little tone-deaf in the current moment.

Now it looks like staff might end up striking to make their point, after almost a year of negotiations.

"Workers at Woodland Park Zoo, who are members of the Joint Crafts Council (JCC) Coalition of Unions, have been making plans to protect the animals if they go on strike. If the group of 200 workers is unable to reach an agreement with their employer over a new contract, they say they will run a skeleton crew that would provide necessary care to the animals but require the Zoo to close its doors to the general public. “We are making contingency plans to ensure the continued well-being of the animals if we are forced to strike,” said Janel Kempf, a learning coordinator who has been with the Zoo for 25 years and is a Shop Steward with Teamsters 117. “A strike is an absolute last resort and one that none of us takes lightly, but the Zoo keeps pushing us in that direction. If the Zoo doesn’t change course soon, we will have no other choice than to withhold our labor.” Negotiations between the Coalition of Unions and the Zoo have been ongoing for the last ten months with workers growing increasingly frustrated at what they say is the Zoo’s failure to value and retain an experienced workforce. “We are hemorrhaging critical animal care experience which directly affects the standard of care we can provide for our animals,” said Allison Cloud, an animal keeper and member of Teamsters 117. “The Zoo is forcing us to choose between our livelihoods and our animals, a heartbreaking decision no zookeeper ever wants to make.” Workers say low wages, the skyrocketing cost of healthcare, low morale, and high turnover have put the Zoo’s AZA accreditation at risk. Loss of accreditation could cripple the Zoo’s resources and lead to the transfer of animals to other accredited facilities. "Woodland Park Zoo cannot maintain AZA accreditation without us,” said Joe Gallenbach, an Exhibit Technician with IATSE Local 15. “The loss of AZA accreditation would demonstrate catastrophic mismanagement on the part of the Woodland Park Zoological Society.” The Coalition of Unions and the Zoo have one more bargaining session on the calendar: Friday, August 9. If the Zoo does not make an acceptable proposal next Friday, workers say they will take their case for fair wages and benefits to the public through direct, concerted action."

Now, when you bring the risk of AZA accreditation loss into the conversation, things get interesting. I've written before about how some zoos are legally or contractually obligated to maintain AZA accreditation and couldn't choose to leave. Woodland Park Zoo is one of those facilities: the agreement with the city that allows the Woodland Park Zoological Society requires them to be AZA accredited. If they lose it, they default on the agreement.

So, would there actually be a chance the facility could lose accreditation if the staff struck? I couldn't find any recent information about staff at other AZA zoos striking and how it related to their accreditation cycle, but I did find this, in an AZA press release about how the Aquarium of the Bay lost accreditation a few months ago.

"Silver Spring, Md. (May 24, 2024) –  The Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Accreditation Commission unanimously voted to rescind the accreditation of the Aquarium of the Bay.  The independent Commission notified the institution on May 13, 2024, following its conclusion that the aquarium was not meeting accreditation standards in a number of key areas, including financial stability, staffing capabilities, and employee morale and turnover. Aquarium of the Bay has until June 13 to appeal the Commission’s decision."

So it looks like staffing issues and employee morale can definitely be things taken into consideration. Let's look at the AZA standards for more info. I found a couple standards that appear to be relevant:

7.3 "There must be an adequate number of trained paid and unpaid staff to care for the animals and to manage the institution’s diverse programs." Justification: "Although there is no set formula for prescribing the size of the staff (paid and unpaid), some of the criteria that may be used to define what is considered “adequate” include the number and type of species within the institution, the general condition of the animals and exhibits, and past staffing practices."

7.4 "Compensation for paid staff should be competitive with other similar positions in the local/regional/national market, as appropriate." Justification: "Institutions must be able to recruit and retain qualified paid staff. Competitive compensation is a key component in recruitment and retention of paid staff. Some positions can be successfully recruited for locally, while others are competitive on a more regional or national basis (e.g., animal care specialists)."

Both of those look like they could quite reasonably be an issue for WPZ at this point. They're losing paid staff due to low wages and operating understaffed due to the hiring freeze. Staff obviously aren't getting appropriate compensation if they're looking for jobs at nearby facilities that pay better.

Now, would the zoo actually lose accreditation if a strike came to pass? Honestly, I doubt it, because WPZ is too big a feather in AZA's cap for them to penalize them that harshly. Columbus - an equally prominent institution - got kicked because of a major public animal use scandal, but it was pretty clearly political because of how quickly they were re-accredited. I'd expect AZA might give WPZ a slap on the wrist, some stern public comment, maybe some minor penalties, but I'd be very surprised if they were willing to kick WPZ to the curb over something "just" as minor as a staffing problem.

Regardless, zoo staff deserve to be paid a living wage. I'll be really sad if the zoo is closed to a strike once the snow leopard cubs get old enough to debut - but I'd still rather the staff be paid a living wage than be able to see the fluffballs immediately. I want the people working at the zoos I visit to not be living in poverty. Zoo staff pub in an incredible amount of effort to care for animal collections and to facilitate the guest experience, and they should be able to do that without multiple roommates or three jobs. I know that the practical reality is that not all facilities can afford to pay their staff as highly as is ideal, but I'd expect a big zoo with reliable city funding to be able to do better. Supporting the zookeepers (and other zoo staff) is supporting the zoo.

I'll be keeping an eye on this going forward, both from a personal perspective (I'm a member, and I have a vested interest in what the organization I give money to does) and a professional interest in industry politics (what does AZA choose to do). I'll update if there's anything interesting on either end.

"In a major win for the traditional owners of Australia, the federal government has ordered the end of the land leasing program for the Jabiluka uranium deposit, ensuring that mining will never occur on the land owned by the Mirarr people.

At the same time, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his coalition added it to the nearby Kakadu National Park, a UNESCO Natural Heritage Site twice the size of Yellowstone.

Various parties to the disagreement over the destiny of Jabiluka described the decision as “a great day for the Mirarr people, for Kakadu, the Northern Territory, and for Australia,” “a genuine and welcome surprise,” and “a reminder of the extraordinary privilege all of us have, to share this continent with the world’s oldest continuous culture.”

The dispute over Jabiluka dates back to 1991, when traditional owners, environmental groups, peace activists, and others protested the granting of a lease for Jabiluka to Energy Resources Australia (ERA) majority-owned by the Australian mining giant Rio Tinto Group.

Located in the Northern Territories, activism by Indigenous owners like the Mirarr and Djot has forced successive administrations to defer or avoid the actual development of the potential mine. This included a road blockade in 1998 during which 500 people were arrested.

The Jabiluka Long-Term Care and Maintenance Agreement signed in February 2005 gave the traditional owners veto rights over the future development of Jabiluka.

Key details about the history of Jabiluka to understand are that the land has been under mining leases for over 30 years, but they’ve never been developed. ERA was not seeking to renew the 10-year lease to try and push forward with uranium mining, as they acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land have the ultimate say as per the 2005 agreement.

ERA stated they sought renewal of the lease in order to secure the asset should the traditional owners ever change their minds. Jabiluka is one of the world’s richest and most extensive uranium deposits ever located.

In 1991, PM Bob Hawke declined to exploit the mine’s riches, as did the Gillard Administration in 2013, but with Rio Tinto and ERA never forsaking the mine as a lost cause, and the Albanese government planning to move forward with nuclear power expansion, the Mirarr and others felt that another, hopefully final push was necessary.

As a result, the federal government provided recommendations to the state government of NT that the will of the people should be respected, and that the lease should not be renewed.

“[It] means there will never be mining at Jabiluka,” Mr. Albanese was quoted as saying last Saturday. “This beautiful part of Australia is home to some of the oldest rock art in the world, a reminder of the extraordinary privilege all of us have, to share this continent with the world’s oldest continuous culture.” ...

Officials from the NT government said the decision was made based on the recommendations from the Coalition government in Sydney, saying that Federal Resources Minister Madeleine King advised that the most important position to respect was that of the Mirarr."

Likud, United Torah Judaism Sign Preliminary Coalition Agreement

Likud, United Torah Judaism Sign Preliminary Coalition Agreement

By Pesach Benson • 7 December, 2022 Jerusalem, 7 December, 2022 (TPS) — Likud and the United Torah Judaism party signed a preliminary coalition agreement on Tuesday. According to the agreement, UTJ leader Yitzchak Goldknopf will become Minister of Housing and Construction while MK Moshe Gafni will chair the Knesset Finance Committee. UTJ will also receive the Jerusalem Affairs and Heritage…

[zvaigzdelasas]

According to Reuters, the agreement still needs “a final go-ahead” from leaders in Baghdad and Washington, but is seen as a done deal, with one US official telling the news agency that “it's now just a question of when to announce it”.

The deal would see hundreds of US soldiers pulled out of Iraq in September 2025 and the last remaining US troops in the country departing by the end of 2026.[...]

US and coalition soldiers will stay in Erbil, in the Kurdish semi-autonomous region, for just one more year. The withdrawal of US troops from this region could make the US military presence in northeastern Syria unsustainable.

“Erbil is crucial for supporting Syria,” Andrew Tabler, a former Middle East director at the White House’s National Security Council, previously told MEE.

“The US needs to have the ability to move troops and supplies on the overland route between the Iraqi frontier and Syria.”

The US’s legal justification for being in Syria, home to roughly 900 US troops, is also based on Washington’s agreement with Baghdad.

US troops are officially in Iraq and Syria to ensure the enduring defeat of the Islamic State militant group, but their presence is also seen as a strategic wedge against Iran and its [allies].

Today, that arid landscape is broken up with large areas of healthy riparian habitat filled with cottonwood, willow, and mesquite trees. These are restoration sites which are stewarded through binational agreements between the United States and Mexico, and implemented by Raise the River—a coalition of NGOs including Audubon"

ZORO PROMPT

This ended up with a whole ass plot to it?? Zoro just inspires me what can I say - also I fully believe Zoro uses Princess as a pet name, mostly sarcastically but then it just stuck.

Warnings - pure smut, semi-public, nasty talk, cream pies, oral (m-receiving), fingering, hair pulling, choking, mentions of reader insecurity at the start

The sunny had docked at a massive trading town, pirates and marines and bounty hunters co-existing fairly peacefully as they traversed through. The place apparently had the most intensive coalition agreements on this side of the Grand Line and no one was allowed to make trouble.

You’d only docked because of Nami, she’d taken a hit in the last fight and had decided she wanted time to recover in an actual bed, with retail therapy at the door. So you’d all bundled out for a few days, each with a lavish room at one of the many local inns for a few days of rest and relaxation.

The first day had been fine enough, everyone splitting up to explore and you joining the girls in some shopping. You’d barely even seen your lover that day, a quick peck on the lips before departing your only interaction.

But the second day you wanted to spend some time with Zoro, grasping him by the hand and dragging him out of the inn. Almost immediately after stepping out he took his hand back, a small smile directed at you as he strode forward through the town square.

You frowned at the empty feeling in your hand, and that had started a whole spiral of doubt. Days spent on the sunny were different, Zoro was not big on PDA at all but was always connected to you in some way - a held hand, an arm around the hip, a chin resting on your shoulder. But out and about was different.

He barely touched you at all through the day, wandering the stalls and picking up the items on your stock list. Apart from the times you had to drag Zoro back from taking a wrong turn, it was a mostly independent affair. Whilst it was successful in terms of stocking the sunny for the crew’s next trip, you were almost sobbing by the end of it.

Back at the inn you stormed up to your room, not even a hello at Nami and Luffy who’d already returned. They shot a look towards Zoro who shrugged helplessly, completely confused about your mood.

When you didn’t come down for dinner or out for your normal daily bath, Zoro started to worry, perhaps you were feeling sick?

He begrudgingly asked Sanji to help fix an extra plate of food while he made you a pot of tea - something you usually adored if you weren’t feeling good. With tray balanced in one hand, he wove around the building to your room, a spacious double at the back of the inn.

Zoro knocked on your door and waited, growing increasingly concerned when there was only silence on the other side. He carefully twisted the doorknob and let the door creak open, seeing your prone form on the bed.

He put down the tray of food on a near table and shut the door, making his way to perch at the end of your bed and gently turn you over from your side. Zoro frowned when he saw the tear tracks covering your face, eyes fluttering open from sleep.

“What’s wrong Princess? You didn’t come down for dinner.” His deep tone reverberates through your drowsy state.

“Why do you even care?” You murder, rubbing the sleep from your eyes and leaning up.

“What do you mean?” Zoro was genuinely helpless, looking at you with complete confusion.

“You act as if I’m not even there in public! If you don’t want to be with me then just say so.” The last part came out as a sob, your heart cracking as you flung the angry words at the man you loved.

“I…. I don’t know what you’re on about! I love you and of course I want to be with you.” The words took energy from Zoro, whose usual silence would not break, “I don’t want you associated with me if we’re in trouble - you’ll be a target if they think you’re more important to me than the rest of the crew. “

Understanding dawned on your features but anger built in the place of your upset.

“Am I incapable? And even if I was you are stronger than anyone - you are Zoro the world’s greatest swordsman, there’s no one I trust more to protect me.”

Zoro stared at you and cracked a smile.

“I’m sorry Princess, I just wanted to protect you.”

You threw yourself towards him, lips clashing in a fierce kiss. Zoro caught you around the hips and raised you to sit in his lap, kissing and licking his way down your neck.

“Of course I want the world to know you are mine.” Zoro whispered into the crook of your neck, standing with you in his arms, “so let me show them.”

Zoro leaned back to give you a devilish smirk, carrying you over to the large nook window. He dropped you to your knees and placed his hands on his hips, loosening his belt in a single motion.

You leaned your head back against the window seat to gaze up at him hungrily, his waist up bathed in the moonlight of the window. Zoro looked stunning.

You glanced behind you to ensure you were hidden from view and Zoro chuckled, though was quickly silenced by you running your tongue along his hardening shaft. You licked up and down a few times like a lollipop, getting him nice and wet before you took his tip in your mouth.

Zoro groaned and gathered your hair into a fist, tilting your head back slightly and sliding all the way into your mouth. You coughed out a little at the intrusion but relaxed back and gulped him down, letting him fuck into your mouth with a few lazy pumps. You had barely adjusted before he pulled you back by the hair and forced you to look up at him.

“Not too much, I’ve got a point to prove, and it should be done in your cunt.” He pulled you up by your hair and you moaned out at the sting.

Zoro flipped you round and bent you over the window nook, the lounge cushion nestled there comfortable against your chest. With a flick of his wrist your top had come loose and you squealed, rushing to cover yourself against the window.

“No, let them all see who you belong to.”

He pulled your hands away roughly and pushed down on your back, getting you to arch your ass up in the air. Zoro didn’t even bother pulling you skirt up all the way, bunching it around your waist and ripping your underwear clean off. You wiggled impatiently and sighed as you felt his hands running over your back and thighs.

Zoro rubbed his tip against your folds a few times teasingly, not letting you complain before he sank into to the hilt. You both let out a groan at the connection.

He set a fast pace fucking you, knocking your chest against the window with every thrust. You squealed and moaned and could only pray no one walked this way during the night.

Zoro got faster and faster, his pace furious as he dragged his cock all the way out just to slam it back into you, his balls slapping against your slit enticingly as he did. He sped to an impossibly rhythm, the both of you grunting and groaning.

“That’s it princess, you best look proud while I fuck you.” His words rattled the snake in your belly even tighter and Zoro could tell from your clenching that you were close.

He reached forward, almost bending you backwards, and rest his hand around your throat, using very little pressure but enough to make you moan.

“That’s it baby, make sure you tell the world who’s making you cum.” Zoro commanded as he brutally fucked you, his thrusts bruising against your thighs.

You let out a final whimper and moaned “Zoro.” Right against the window, your heavy breathing leaving swirls of mist across the glass.

He followed you into his climax, stuttering hips grounding into your pussy as he filled you up. With one last push Zoro slipped free, pulling you up with him to sit on the window seat.

You seemed to be unfocused and he followed your gaze, cackling as he spotted an old woman staring up at you both in absolute horror.

[mariacallous]

Also LMAO @the leftist response to the dnc giving room for disaffected republicans instead of pandering to their crazy (like they even let bernie speak!!). Like girl thats a message when you spend alllll your free time proudly shitting on dems you can't get mad when we look elsewhere to broaden our coalition. And there were sooooo many acknowledgements of and nods to the left as it was. Maybe think more strategically abt how you deal w organized politics if you want to be catered to on a silver platter. It turns out negotiating in good faith for real material objectives might NOT just be for winemom cringelibs after all

I mean, if you continually say you’re not going to vote, not willing to listen or act in good faith, and expect everything to be catered to you, yeah, people will just go to where there’s a more receptive audience even and especially if it doesn’t mean they’re in full agreement as long as some core commonalities can be agreed upon.
