Another wake-up call 🌎🔥 About 24% of the planet’s reefs across more than 80 countries are critically endangered...but when the expected impacts of global heating were added this rose to 96%. #CoralReefs are known as the rainforests of the sea. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Jon Stewart on The Daily Show: Discussion of AI with a guy who worked at Anthropic and OpenAI. My takeaway from the conversation is that tech bros are so wealthy they believe they are smarter than anyone, and can make decisions for all of our lives. Be afraid!

So trump, who wants to sell weapons to China (who helps Iran), while saying it's OK for them to bomb LA or San Diego. Insane authoritarian.

GEO Group sold three Adelanto, Calif., detention facilities to the federal government for $950 million. GEO expects to net about $705 million and raised its stock buyback authorization by $750 million. It will keep running the facilities under its ICE contract.

Term limits. Term limits. Term limits. No one should ever get a lifetime appointment to any judicial or legislative or executive position, elected or appointed. No one.

Check out all the photos of European landmarks lit up green for International Safe Abortion Day on Sep 28!

#Schumer and Dem committees not supporting Angie Nixon in Florida nor Al-Sayed in Michigan, despite their strong campaigns. Perhaps Schumer doesn't care to have more progressive Dems in Congress. Another reason for Chuck to step aside.

Eleven cities across Europe will have official landmarks shining green in honour of Int'l Safe Abortion Day on Monday! The green idea comes from Latin America’s "Green Wave" when abortion rights supporters wore green handkerchiefs. Green is now the unifying color for abortion rights globally.

I am extremely annoyed by all the online newspapers and organizations that require a paid subscription. Even the #Bulwark and #MSNOW have pay walls. Seems only those who can afford the news and streaming services are allowed to be educated and entertained.

HERE IT IS! The FLOCK CEO destroying our lives...

Republicans are once again sneaking away to talk about cutting Social Security earned benefits. Congress could easily cut the cap on deductions so higher salaried employees would pay their share into SS. Easy fix and no need for cuts. @merkley.senate.gov @wyden.senate.gov @salinas.house.gov

Lawrence O'Donnell gave us an homage to President JFK tonight, showing a speech a smiling JFK gave to a cheering crowd in Ireland. Smiles and tears for what we lost, especially compared to the incompetent dunce we have now.

I hope you were able to watch the Rachel Maddow show tonight. Whistle blower photos inside an ICE prison that will make you sick, and furious. Videos of ICE gangs beating people. A massive ICE prison in the same place where Japanese Americans were interned. This is the USA now.

The FCC will allow the sovereign wealth funds of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, & Abu Dhabi to own nearly 50% of a merged Paramount-Warner Bros — potentially giving them sway over our media. This of course comes after Trump received gifts or struck business deals with these countries. See the problem?

Selling off 45 million acres of national forest isn't a forestry management plan; it's a permanent taxpayer-funded liquidation of public land to the timber industry. Once it's gone, we never get it back. Demand your rep block this corporate giveaway: 👇 actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

"One in nine migratory birds are threatened with extinction & 45% of migratory species are in decline..." The threats to migratory birds, which are caused by humans include farming, hunting, pollution, invasive species & global warming... www.theguardian.com/environment/...

#AnimalRights aka #NonhumanRights are NOT a gift we give to #Animals They are a BIRTH RIGHT we have taken from them. #AnimalWelfare (using them) vs animal rights (no use) are two separate things. Animal Rights because there are too many wrongs.

Earlier this week, Judd reported on a new Elon Musk scam. Musk is spending millions of dollars pushing Americans to VoteSafe, which advertises itself as a voter registration site but is actually a digital surveillance machine. Judd joins us tonight to explain: joycevance.substack.com/p/five-quest...

DON'T USE VOTESAFE.ORG Elon Musk is bankrolling an ad campaign to get you to check your voter registration through an innocent-sounding website. But his real goal is to collect and sell your personal data to advertising companies, Big Tech, and other Republican PACs.

More obstruction of justice by Todd Blanche and the Trump DOJ, this time in refusing to cooperate with international law enforcement's efforts to investigate the Epstein Files

Malaria takes full responsibility for his new brown hair: “Sorry, I called the wrong mortician.”

We now know harmful “forever chemicals” are likely in the bodies of most people on Earth. Decades ago, 3M knew that these chemicals had seeped into the public’s blood, but they kept that a secret. One 3M scientist helped reporter Sharon Lerner understand how they kept it quiet for so long:

FUN FACT If we switched to all renewable energy, the number of ships crossing the ocean would fall almost in half, slashing global CO2 emissions. Because those ships are JUST carrying coal, oil and gas. ~ Bill McKibben SUPPORT ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES!

I hope everyone watched the Rachel Maddow Show tonight. Her opener will make you hate trump (and Scott Bessent) even more.

Nature is not a resource. It’s the operating system of life. When we destroy forests, wetlands, and oceans, we delete our own survival code. Protect ecosystems = protect ourselves. #Biodiversity #NatureBasedSolutions

🚨A new detention facility for unaccompanied children & families in Alexandria, #Louisiana in the former military barracks adjacent to the Alexandria Intl Airport is proposed to open soon - we still have time to stop it! The airport is already notorious as ICE’s busiest hub for mass deportations.

Land is warming 1.75× faster than the ocean. Heat records are being smashed by larger margins than ever before. Four times as many new heat records occurred in recent years because of human-caused climate change. This is acceleration. We must respond with equal urgency. #HeatCrisis

It’s not the Gulf of America. We don’t have a Department of War, unless you count the war we’re losing. Canada is not the 51st state. There’s no such thing as the Lake of America, The Strait of America or the Trump Center. You are not 6’3” and 225 lbs, You’re demented.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Sooo how do the Supreme Court justices vote? In person or by mail? Would be kind of interesting to know that fact,
