Mainstream media isn’t talking about it, but bulldozers and construction crews have descended upon Texas’ Big Bend National Park as the Trump administration moves forward with its border barrier project. The project will permanently damage one of our nation’s greatest natural treasures.

Massie: "I don't think the problem is that our elections aren't secure because we control the House, Senate, White House, and to some degree we control the Supreme Court. So I ask my Republican colleagues, why are you complaining about election fraud? We won all the damn elections!"

I feel so lost. I graduated with an environmental engineering degree and a biology degree, but the market is so bad I don't know what I am going to do. Fastfood wont even hire me even tho i have multiple years of experience. I do photography but I'm not a good entrepreneur. I don't feel good enough

GET A GRIP Ireland is building a battery that contains no lithium. No cobalt. No rare-earth metals. Instead, it stores energy using carbon dioxide. The project is designed to hold 200 megawatt-hours of electricity, making it one of Europe’s largest long-duration energy storage systems.

It was an honor to join a home-based providers round-table at Xiomara Family Day Care in the Bronx.   While Wall Street execs make $1,796/hr, child care workers earn a median of $6/hr — a reflection not of their value, but of a system that has failed to value care itself. We're changing that system.

A contractor building Meta's data center flushed its "closed-loop" cooling system straight into Cheyenne's sewer. It carried a bacterium and knocked the city's water-reuse system offline for months. They sell these as sealed systems that barely touch the water. This one poisoned a city's.

He woke up before sunrise, just like he did every workday. His wife made him breakfast. He kissed her goodbye, grabbed his lunch and work boots, patted his dog, and climbed into the white van he used to take his construction crew to work.

This should horrify all of us! Women in ICE detention underwent invasive medical procedures without informed consent. Senator Jon Ossoff’s bipartisan investigation called the findings “nightmarish & disgraceful” Everyone deserves dignity, bodily autonomy & human rights! #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance

Warning! ⚠️ Things are going to be bad this midterm election. The Trump administration has fired the remaining commissioners of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC), leaving the independent bipartisan agency without any sitting commissioners.

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying.

Gun injuries are the leading cause of death for children and teens 1-17 years in the U.S. Many of these injuries could be prevented with safe gun storage. ✅ Store guns unloaded in a locked safe or box ✅ Make sure guns are stored safely anywhere your child spends time including friends' houses

They want higher birth rates. Woman gets pregnant and something happens to where she ends up a single mother is told "thats the consequences". Reason why gen z doesnt want kids They make us feel like we would be 16 and pregnant. Im 27 and I feel like having a kid would bankrupt me. Tie my tubes!!

Im 27. If a friend says they are pregnant I still freak out for them. The ppl that say we need more kids are also the ones making fun of parents, calling people bad parents, saying they shouldn't be parents, etc. Make having kids affordable. Lets stop telling single moms they are the problem.

If you see or hear someone talking about single moms. You better be cutting them off mid sentence and putting them in their place. See something, say something Same goes for seeing any woman being harassed or hearing men talk derogatory about women. If someone calls women "female" call it out.

I don’t think anyone can change my mind on this. Our system creates problems, then sells us the “solutions.” Look at taxes: the IRS already has our info, but companies like TurboTax and H&R Block lobby to keep filing confusing so we’ll pay them to fix it.

THE WORST PART IS THE PEOPLE WITH THE LEAST AMOUNT OF MONEY ARE THE PEOPLE THAT NEED THESE SERVICES THE MOST AND CANNOT AFFORD IT.

No hate to creators who take sponsors, I get the need for money. My issue is that basic privacy has become something you have to buy, instead of something the law is supposed to guarantee.

That’s capitalism in its purest form: manufacture the risk, monetize the anxiety. And the worst part? Not everyone can afford those protections. So the people with the least money have the least privacy, while the companies and scammers keep winning.

Scammers help keep consumers buying their product, That's why scammers are often never found and there's often no justice when people are scammed. The reason why the law doesn't do much about scammers.

Now look at data privacy. Instead of strong laws that protect everyone by default, we get a market of VPNs, data-removal tools, and identity-protection subscriptions. They exist because our data is being harvested and sold. We pay monthly just to feel a little less exposed.

They profit off our fear of messing up, especially when most of us (shoutout Gen Z) were never taught how taxes actually work.

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week. For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead. One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.

DHS deported a US citizen to Mexico. Brian Morales is 25 years old who was born in Denver. Pulled over in Texas with his construction crew. Didn’t have his ID on him and told officers he could get his birth certificate, Social Security card, and medical records from home.
