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.
Again, why can’t we teach all AI LLMs Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics?
If it measured everything is was asked to do against the possibility of harming humans, would AI agents stop hacking and harming various companies like banks, email accounts, water and power operations, etc?
Remember: If your vote didn't matter, billionaires wouldn't be spending their fortunes trying to buy our elections.
Stay calm, support good candidates, do whatever you can to get out the vote, and vote as soon as you can.
Don't let Big Money win.
The planet isn't "dying" of natural causes.
Forests don't just disappear. They are logged.
Oceans don't just choke. They are polluted.
Rivers don't just dry up. They are diverted.
This is not a tragedy. It's ecocide. And ecocide should be a crime. #StopEcocide
The MAGA regime recently killed the largest ancient 250 year old “Grandmother” Cottonwood tree in Arizona’s indigenous territory just to expand the orange felon’s fucking wall.
I’ll never forgive anyone who chose this evil.
22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40.
By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.
I'm not running to bow to a corporation.
I'm not running to raise your utility rates or help them do it.
I'm not running so that your premium goes up and everybody looks the other way.
I'm running to fight for you.
The Talmud teaches that anyone who sustains one soul, has sustained an entire world. For generations, Jewish New Yorkers have sustained our city. Today, we are launching the first-ever municipal Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.
Churches are NOT a public good. In fact they have become a net harm to humanity. Religion is not about teaching morality but rather it is an incubator for hatred, bigotry, science denial and anti-intellectualism.
If religion disappeared tomorrow the world would be a better place.
The punishment for the disgusting Cornell rapists was to simply write an essay about their heinous crime whilst women can be thrown in jail for using abortion healthcare services. That’s the fucked up timeline we’re living in.
Letitia Chitty (d. #OTD in 1982) was a pioneering British structural engineer & mathematician.
A master of stress analysis, she spent her career mathematically determining the "breaking points" of complex structures, ranging from #WWI combat aircraft to major international dams. #WomenInSTEM
THIS WAS MONEY FOR CHILDREN’S HEALTHCARE.
A Florida grand jury found $10 MILLION meant to help provide health insurance for poor children was misappropriated for political purposes.
Moody & DeSantis took money meant for kids.

Did you know rooftop #Solar provided 47% of Australia’s energy needs, utility scale solar provided 22%. Total renewable energy was 80% And this happened 2 days in a row now. How long now before we see periods of 100%? Or will coal’s inability to shut down stop it?
This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇
It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.
We have enough food, technology, and money to save the planet. We just have a system where destroying it is more profitable. That's not a climate problem. That's a greed problem. #ClimateJustice
The U.S. owes $40 trillion in debt.
Everyone has an opinion about why.
But there’s one question you almost never hear asked:
Who’s actually getting paid?
Here's how we get Medicare for All done:
Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!)
Include vision, dental, and hearing.
Begin extending to more people, starting with children.
We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.
It now costs the truck drivers on average $1,200 to fill up a single tank because of the war in Iran.
Mike Rogers said it's a win-win-win. Are you winning?
