I had it tough at my school. They grabbed me and were about to forcibly change my sex when there was an unrelated mass shooting a few rooms down. I escaped in all the confusion, but still had to walk home in four feet of snow.

RepubliKKKans Are Bad For America, Vote Accordingly.......💙

john fetterman is the first rat in history to climb onto a sinking ship.

Today on Volts: in 2008, physics professor Ramón Méndez Galain was made energy minister of Uruguay. Over the next 7 years, he led the country to a 98% carbon-free electricity system. With his nonprofit, Ivy, he's now attempting to export the model to other countries in the global South. We discuss.

Shocker… he’s lying again.

The Leafy Sea Dragon (Phycodurus eques) is stunning a marine fish related to seahorses and pipefish. It is famous worldwide for its incredible camouflage, which makes it look exactly like floating seaweed. Original post

I called Obama's nuclear deal with Iran a pathetic capitulation. Here's why I'm calling Trump's much-worse deal with Iran a complete triumph. by everyone at the Free Press

Earthers might need to completely rethink the global economy given that megacap energy stocks get crushed by rumors of peace in the middle east. Big part of why there's always a war somewhere.

An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers. Our @mnaflcio.org union siblings have shown the power of our solidarity in the face of attacks by federal immigration agents on our neighbors, our communities and our workplaces.

Insane how white "christian" Americans are more outraged about Lupita Nyong'o being in Odyssey than about Pedolf raping kids Well I supose they are a shower of racist fascist pedo worshipping sheep. The most evil people you’ll ever meet go to church every Sunday #MAGA

Europe removes 603 river barriers, setting a record for the fifth year running. Sweden led with 173 removals, while Iceland and North Macedonia joined the movement for the first time. Overall, Europe reconnected more than 3,740 km of rivers last year. buff.ly/ExMvzwL #ShareGoodNewsToo

Truth...

imagine being president of the united states and getting snubbed by a group popular 40 years ago and best known for lip syncing and also one of them is dead

Getting tired of receiving emails from Hakeem Jeffries subject == "stunning rebuke" which are neither stunning nor do they contain a rebuke.

I thought this was funny. Setting aside the billionaires wanting to make more billions (i.e. natural he'd say this) it also seems essentially correct: Wall Street loves layoffs and blaming headcount reductions on AI is almost cliche at this point.

It is fucking hilarious that the Trump administration needed to tell Iranian officials to not pay attention to senile grandpa‘s unhinged posts because they are mainly for “domestic media purposes” and should be ignored. And yes, this is fact.

. Mark Davis is quickly becoming my new fav politician. In #FLORIDA no less 😳 .

The 30-year US Treasury yield just hit 5.2%, its highest level since 2007. #inflation

"Just today, we learned that there's a $1.776 billion dollar slush fund set up by the government to pay off criminals!"

"For the third straight time, a Dem president handed a GOP president an economy that was at the least pretty good...for the third straight time, the GOPer made things worse." Essential @mjtoma.bsky.social: Trump's policies are directly to blame in a truly rare way: newrepublic.com/article/2105...

Every second, $6,000 in fossil fuel subsidies are handed out globally. That’s $5 trillion/year. Renewables? Barely a fraction. We have 6–7 years to halve emissions. The industry has zero years of conscience. Share if you’ve had enough. 🌍✊

You don’t hate country music, you just hate the same 100 songs of bootlicking corporatized trash about saluting the flag while drinking a beer in your truck at a football game next to your pretty silent wife in daisy dukes who also knows how to fish.

Imagine if Biden had said something like ... Oh fuck never mind.

PabloReports: What do you make of Trump saying that he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation? Rep. McGovern: Is anybody surprised? I’ve been saying all along that Trump doesn’t give a shit about the people of this country.

#KuKluxKourt. And when you think about it, they're much worse than local acts of intimidation.

Weak attempt at a mic drop, replies & quote-repost disabled. Contains its own logical demise: the internet was inevitable because people wanted it? They wanted some of what it could do. Only sick a$$h0les are all-in for online child p0rno. Tools are simultaneously good AND bad. #GetAgrip

My mind boggles at the people who are still saying, "But, but, the rules say...but but but...the process is..." Listen, Republicans don't care. They make shit up, bend the rules, ignore them, change them at will. Democrats have the majority in VA. Use your powers, be creative, & implement the map.

#racism lives

Dems have to embrace gerrymandering so long as the GOP is willing to behave a pre-Voting Rights Act party of racial tyranny

OK look, once and for all, it's "ka-ching" not "cha-ching."

New Zealand's kiwi bird returns to Wellington hills after a century-long absence

#misogyny

i think it is cool that the president of the united states routinely slurs black people as biological inferior

It's Earth Day! So what better way to mark the day than with one of the photos of our homeworld taken by the Artemis II crew a few weeks ago. Hard to see national boundaries, sectarian divides, or differences in skin colour from this distance.

You may disagree, but if the heads of our skeeterati all skeet the exact same thing, then somebody forgot what hashtags are for (and sure, the current dude is probably unfit to be president).

"Trump, having chosen to kick the Iranian hornet’s nest, remains at a loss for what to do next. We’ve known he had no plan for months. But what’s becoming shockingly apparent now is how little he’s even paying attention..." --Bill Kristol

‘Simply stop giving millionaires water for literally free’ is one of the most insane sounding but actually serious policy solutions out there

Calm down there, Lizard Queen. It’s a threat to white people. Humanity will be fine without us.

The amount of self-own in this war is truly, epically humiliating and no less than we deserve.

Listening to Victor Glover aboard Artemis talk about how compelling he finds the terminator makes me wonder how many people think he's referring to the movie character played by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Are we great again yet? I just paid $130 to fill up my vehicle, and my savings are in the sh!tter. Everybody who voted for this deserves the maximum pain the universe brings.

Yes

...humanity will reach maturity & wisdom on the day that it begins not just to tolerate, but take a special delight in differences in ideas & differences in life forms. …If we cannot learn to actually enjoy those small differences, to take a positive delight…then we do not deserve... --G Roddenberry

Not one of them has ever stood in a line for 4 hours or more to vote in person. Not one of them has been turned away at the polls because they are suddenly “not on the list.” Not one has had their pay docked b/c they arrived late to work b/c they went to vote in the morning.
