Shut down Reflect Orbital before they try this anywhere else. Absolutely criminal to steal the night sky. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I'm more than tired of Republicans and the rich acting like working people are entitled to work until they drop dead and little else. It's like anything to make their lives half human is an affront to them.

In retrospect, 1937–1969 is the exception to the Court's long history of favoring property and monied interests. The shift back began under Burger and accelerated under Rehnquist. Sad times to be an average person under today's Court. 2/2

These fucking people. If you want to save humanity, save it *here* and *now*. Bezos could easily move the needle on climate change if he wanted to try.

i think we can come up with a better system than putting a drug addled, pedophile dipshit with no grip on reality in charge of defense satellites

I don’t really care what is in people’s hearts. I care about what they say and what they do. I want to make homophobia and transphobia so shameful and taboo that bigots dare not express or act on it for fear of dire social and professional consequences.

You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

I want to live in a world where lying liars are called out and run out of polite society with due haste.

This looks like a carjacking, not law enforcement. I would have driven off too. I think any sane, reasonable person would have done the same.

Because of all the damage and degradation caused by livestock grazing in Wilderness, its relatively tiny contribution to the livestock industries, and the taxpayer subsidies it requires, it is well past time to end all livestock grazing in Wilderness. wildernesswatch.org/its-time-to-...

Billionaires are a policy failure. Tax the billionaires into non-existence.

There is something deeply wrong with trying to kill a person twice, then sending her to a hospital for life saving measures so that they can try to kill her again.

New bro code: "Protect women. Respect women. Believe women." The code is accountability, human decency, human kindness, respect. It has to be.

As is the case in higher ed, calls for civility are actually demands for docility.

"Regenerative grazing" is a greenwashing scam, nothing more. Here's why. Please don't be taken in. drawdown.org/insights/eig...

We're having a pizza party. Person 1: I want mushrooms and pepperoni. Person 2: I want mushrooms and piles of dogs shit. Like so much dog shit. Person 3: I hate mushrooms, so both pizzas are the same, and I'm not voting. And that's how we got dog shit pizza.

Shared bond? I mostly remember being told I wasn’t a real American because I didn’t think we should nuke the Middle East.

What 9/11 showed is that Osama bin Laden understood the US would tilt into madness after an attack. And we did everything possible to prove him right. We dishonored the dead, made our country crueler, and started wars that killed up to a million people. That should also be what we remember.

This is seismic news for fisheries scientists. Northern cod is *the* iconic symbol of total fisheries collapse due to overfishing (and other factors) *and* the iconic symbol of a complete failure to recover for decades afterwards. This is like announcing the complete recovery of bison on land.

Conservatives have a major political interest in rejecting Lindsay Clancy’s legal defense. If they concede postpartum psychosis is real, they’ll also have to admit that pregnancy and childbirth are dangerous for women’s mental health. And that could take down their abortion politics entirely

This was the video I was looking for yesterday to post. I follow Joshua Wright on instagram because we are both passionate about saving old trees. This was an ancient forest valley that was recently logged on Vancouver Island. They cut down one of the largest Yellow Cedar tree in Canada. 😢

Get this! Cleaning up pollution caused by the dairy industry’s nitrogen fertiliser costs NZ ten times more than farmers spend buying the fertiliser in the first place. One of the many ways we subsidise the dairy industry. #TooManyCows newsroom.co.nz/2026/09/01/t...

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Utterly shameful. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s...

Thou shalt take down every monument he builds for himself. Thou shalt toss him and his entire family into the trashcan of history.

Meant to post this two days ago, but it has been a year (and two days) since JD Vance said after a mass shooting that it's outrageous anyone thinks calls for prayer are a way to deflect responsibility for taking action against gun violence. Maybe action will come next year.

Conservatives on the Supreme Court have been diluting Americans’ votes for decades. Let’s dilute theirs. Expand the court in 2029.

Billionaires are a negative for the world.

It's worth noting that this isn't a random number but a goal that would simply restore the court to an earlier norm in which there's one justice for each of the judicial circuits. We used to have nine, we now have thirteen. The people defending the current setup have the tougher case to make here.

It is SO blatantly obvious everything that’s happening is because both parties are owned almost entirely by AIPAC. They don’t actually believe in anything. They’re just in it for the money. They will fritter and fetterman away your whole country.

“Privacy experts have cautioned against stronger age verification, such as collecting facial images or government IDs, that could be vulnerable to data breaches or misuse….”

As @brandyjensen.bsky.social once wrote, "Too often these days I find myself in the position of defending someone I think is annoying from someone I know is dangerous." I can work with annoying. I don't have to like them. I can't work with fascists. Democrats should have a laser focus on fascists.

don’t repurpose it or turn it into a museum or anything like that. destroy it. youtu.be/pkFNAd1DaaA

tl;dw: the job of the dem majority over the next two years, should it materialize, is to make life hell for the white house, not find points of cooperation

i genuinely think that the way this admin is treating Canada will be looked back on as of the most shameful chapters of modern US history far too many people are laughing it off as unserious but the reality is that they’re spitting in the face of our closest ally for no reason

📌The so-called leadership of the Democratic Party are not fighters, they are appeasers, stunningly out of touch with their voters, and ignorant of world history. I suggest they google "Neville Chamberlain" to see what happens when you chum up violent, fascist regimes. This is really grotesque.

So, it’s not a conspiracy, and you are not imagining it. The biggest and wealthiest tech leaders are genuine fascists. They are leading an active and intentional systematic attack on labor. And they have radicalized each other while sidelining or removing the remaining decent execs in the industry.

The vandalism and desecration of the White House isn't just vanity and it's not trivial. It's caesarism, as in literally what Julius Caesar did to the symbolic architecture of civic republicanism. Our national iconography matters and allowing the disfiguring of it to persist is a substantive harm.

If you need further evidence that it’s a ridiculous myth that Republicans are better at the economy than Democrats, just go outside. The reverse is happening again in realtime.
