Pro Republica produced a front line show that is three parts about how Exxon hid what they knew about global warming back in the 70s. They knew. They hid the information to keep making their oil profits.

Amazing sight! Hundreds of wading birds in a pond at Merritt Island #NationalWildlifeRefuge this morning. As Chief Seattle said: "What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone,man would die from a great loneliness of the spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man."

This man was dead weight, hanging high above the ground after touching a high-voltage line. His coworker climbed up, held him in place, gave him mouth-to-mouth. Randall Champion survived—and lived another 35 years. Rocco Morabito’s photo, “The Kiss of Life,” won the Pulitzer Prize. True heroism.

🚨DATA CENTERS COULD COST REPUBLICANS THE FLORIDA GOVERNORSHIP. If David Jolly wins, the explosive backlash against AI data centers will be a big reason why. Floridians don’t want these power-hungry facilities built in their neighborhoods — Byron Donalds is far too cozy with the data center lobby.

I am in favor of separating Musk from his wealth. Size the traitor's money.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

My husband and I voted early today in Orlando — BLUE all the way! 🗳️💙 It feels great to have our votes cast and our voices heard. If early voting is available where you live, take advantage of it if you can — avoid the Election Day lines and get it done! 🇺🇸 #VoteEarly #Vote

X is owned by Musk. TikTok is blocking the Musk movie account. Meta blocked the No Kings account. This is why Democracy Docket is not built on SubStack or any third-party platform that could one day turn against it. It costs more to operate but is worth it. Subscribe now. demdock.com/4w6emld

It IS exactly as it looks. Trump abandoned Ukraine and Republulicans capitulate. 🤬

UNITED24 Media@united24media.com

⚡️ “I believe steps have been taken to convince Ukraine to capitulate,” Zelenskyy tells Bloomberg. “I am not saying that this is the goal our partners are pursuing. I don’t want to think that our American partners believe the war could be ended sooner at Ukraine’s expense. But that’s how it looks.”

Sen. Angus King says he sat down and made a list of everything Putin could possibly want from an American president. His conclusion about Trump? “This guy, this president, is doing almost all of them.” King then goes through the list. WATCH.

You can’t support trump and convince me you’re not greedy, racist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, transphobic, ignorant, mentally challenged and/or just plain stupid.

He’s so damn good at this. Jon Ossoff came out swinging against Mike Collins in the Georgia Senate debate. “It’s not just that you’ve hired half the Third Reich to staff your congressional office … It’s that you’re robbing your constituents to subsidize your donors.” 🔥

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

Barack Obama is back in his role as Democrats’ closer-in-chief. He just cut ads for 24 Senate & gubernatorial campaigns—targeting races where he can help move persuadable voters. At 57% favorability, Obama is the most popular living president. Expect to see much more of him before Election Day. 💙

Xavier Becerra put the Steve Hilton contradiction right on the debate stage: enforce Trump’s federal immigration laws, but ignore California’s own protections? Then he dropped the hammer: “You seem to welcome immigrants who look like you, but deport immigrants who look like me.”

40m people rely on the Colorado River, which year after year shows less water in it. Denver Water has declared drought conditions and restricts residential use. You’re saying we shouldn’t care about the new water use equal to 16000 people? www.governing.com/finance/denv...

Todd Blanche now says "one-sided news" is a national security threat worth barring the press over. That's not a legal standard. It's a viewpoint test. I didn’t go to law school…and didn’t need to, to know that the First Amendment exists to STOP government from judging which coverage is balanced.
