Really scary scenario for 3 Jan 2027. Do the Democrat have a plan for this. @neguse.house.gov @bennet.senate.gov @hickenlooper.bsky.social Hakeem Jefferies seems really compromised. #copolitica #copol

The bad: measles cases in the U.S. are more than double what they were last year, with 96% of cases being unvaccinated. The good: Pennsylvania has so far administered 14,000 more vaccines this year than last. The dream: The anti-vax movement is deservedly shunned and everyone gets vaccinated.

This is an absolute top priority. Work to stop the damage - and rebuild - starts right after the election. Third Mountain Action is there, to bring sciences to democracy. Learn more: thirdmountainaction.org

ICE is moving deeper into the Bay Area. Community defense starts now—stay sharp, protect each other, and fight back.

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

Watching a blade peel off a clean sheet of wood or two joints lock together with zero gap is weirdly soothing. Here is why craftsmanship hits that satisfying spot in the brain.

Greed doesn't just destroy forests. It murders millennia-old beings that can't run or fight back. Less than 5% of the world’s old-growth forests remain intact. We are on the verge of telling our children that giants once walked the Earth,as if it were a fairy tale.
