If this country was truly β€œpro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about β€œlife.”

It’s about control.

Amazing story of a moth once thought extinct being recorded in the wild after 150 years!

This story shows the power of platforms like #inaturalist and the value of a #bioblitz, with this moth recorded during the Great Southern BioBlitz 2021 @gsbioblitz.bsky.social

Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.

Scott Bessent said Albertans want to become an American state

I don't think they would give up their Universal Healthcare for the system America has

They also have a higher minimum wage than the US, more than double the US.

And Reichsleiter Miller, the rest of his henchmen, & all the Gestapo goons (=ICE & Border Patrol) must be made to answer for their crimes against the American people & the United States, and if convicted, punished to the maximum limit

And keep Merrick Garland far, far away from the entire process

I've lived in Minnesota my whole life and have experienced some major cold snaps but this is the first time I've heard about exploding trees.

I wonder how many incidents like this have gone unreported? Great reporting here. But the way ICE is operating is shameful beyond belief.

If we’re keeping score, the actual danger isn’t who ICE claims to protect us from, it’s the people enforcing their policies. The statistics speak for themselves.

The same people who said the government was tyrannical for requiring proof of a COVID vaccine are awfully quiet about American citizens being told to carry their papers.

Gerald drops one of the wildest comparisons in this episode.
Supercomputers pull 10–40 megawatts of power. A quantum computer? 35 kilowatts. That’s the difference between powering 50,000 homes a year… and 9 kettles.

How will Trump’s attacks affect higher education?

Let’s look to history

Germany's universities were the world's premier research institutions

Hitler destroyed them

How long did they take to recover?

They haven’t

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

There’s a nonzero chance you will die from a cancer that could have been curable because people who couldn’t pass 7th grade biology and are scared of things like β€œmRNA” and β€œriboflavin” and β€œwalkable cities” decided to make their ignorance everybody else’s problem

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Think about how insane this is. I know we normalize every abnormal thing Trump does, & he floods the zone & numbs us, but a leading media organizing rolling over & agreeing to pay $16m to the president because he didn’t like how they edited an interview?? What country is this?

When was the last time we wondered about who puts things on shelves?

Today, those invisible ones are seen only to be criminalized for fleeing poverty and oppression.

Are they really stealing a glamorous life from us?

Pass it on if you stand with those who work in the shadows.

Trump commutes sentence of Miami healthcare exec convicted of Medicare fraud He and his girlfriend pocketed more than $87 million in the scheme.

Donald has spent the last week pardoning his friends who defrauded Medicare, union pensions, banks, and more. This is what β€œfraud and abuse” actually looks like.
