This is so vile. I kind of wonder how the country is going to react to armed raids on churches.

For most of my life the Republican strategy is to prevent Democrats from doing popular things and they keep getting rewarded for it. At the same time, Democrats keep trying to seek common ground and they are punished. Over and over again. Be kinda nice if some lessons were learned and applied.

Each of us has to do our part, but even if we reduced our personal carbon footprints that might never be enough. In a world where just 100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions, a total overhaul of the carbon-intensive systems around us is needed. theconversation.com/quick-climat...

These trees in Mount Rainier, Washington, are even beautiful when hidden under layers of snow. The photographer, Alex Noriega, calls this photo "Hibernation."

Fuck all of you pieces of shit that voted to take away a woman's right to travel freely in her own country. I will never forgive any of you for taking away/giving up what we fought so hard to get. None of you deserve to live in this country. You are all traitors. www.rawstory.com/federal-cour...

Mitch McConnell is pressed today. He gets it now

This kind of thing works, this kind of thing is what can prevent us from sliding into an autocracy

🚨I'm seeing some climate accounts posting overpopulation stuff, so I've removed the paywall from my article on the subject: Overpopulation Is A Racist Trope.

These Georgians are awesome. Putin's toast.

A reminder #itwasntalandslide

Leonard Leo, Harlan Crow, Ginni Thomas, Martha Alito, John Roberts, Sam Alito, and Clarence Thomas love it when you blame Garland and Biden for the fact that the Supreme Court stopped the cases against Trump.

This needs to be said, loud, and often.

I am trying to take public transportation more instead of driving. I am trying to eliminate my spending at Walmart and Amazon entirely. I am trying to use less plastic. I am trying to eat less meat and never get fast food. These tiny acts of resistance add up. I recommend you all try to do the same.

😆😆😆 Who did this one?

Anyone who is anti-vax is pro-death. Period. The science and data do not lie. And they don’t care about your podcast.

Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him “What should Americans learn from Watergate?” 20 years later in ‘94. His answer is remarkable—unfortunately things didn’t work out so well in 2024.

Been thinking a lot lately about that episode of Parks and Rec where Leslie and Tom have to rebrand fluoride in the water as TDazzle in order to get the public to support it.

I love this.

Great group to follow here!

Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, everybody…

Wonder why the rule of law is failing? Here are six reasons . . . the rot at the top. This is what happens when we allow government officials to operate in an ethics-free zone with zero accountability.

Trump's education secretary nominee once said she had an education degree. She doesn't. You cannot make this junk up. Trump's cabinet will be filled with liars, sexual assaulters, puppy killers, Russian assets, and a man who claims a worm ate his brain. www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...

A Man on the Inside review – Ted Danson is comedy perfection in this unbelievably sweet show

It’s really something to watch the Party whose supporters poop on the floor in the Capitol and wipe their feces on the wall tell us which bathrooms to use.

ICYMI— Despite the private school vouchers scam losing everywhere it’s on the ballot, Trump says his Ed Sec pick will focus on steering taxpayer💰to private (mostly Christian) schools. @GovBillLee’s pal Devos admitted it’s to “Advance God’s Kingdom”: x.com/thetnholler/...

I want to introduce you to Next Comes What by Andrea Pitzer because I will going on about it a lot! It's worth your time. I know it's worth mine. It's about what we can learn from the rise of strongmen to thwart Trump. The first ep is "How We Survive This Mess." And people are digging it.

Leonard Leo gave all of us the legalization of political bribes with Citizen’s United, shredding our precious Democracy in the process He has billions to fund his christofascist white nationalist government takeover Would Jesus have done that Leonard? Did Christ tell you to attack your country?

“What radicalized you?” Bro I was told to treat people the way I would want to be treated in kindergarten and it made sense idk what else there is to say

A harsh campus climate against protests. A a Trump threat to have demonstrators deported. Now, a fast-moving bill would allow Trump administration to penalize non-profit groups as "supporting terrorism" As feared, Gaza protest backlash empowers Trump. My new column🎁 share.inquirer.com/RT7llc

our ancestors accomplished more, with less, against worse. stay locked in.

the theft of the century Prior to Reagan we had a robust middle class. Had we followed that trajectory it would equate in today’s dollars to an additional $1400 for every wage earner, every month. TRICKLE DOWN was always a calculated LIE - and is now destroying the USA

I’ll never not believe that Trump didn’t have his thumb on the scale He’s never won anything without lying cheating or stealing Goodnight Democracy
