I'm a climate expert. I know 1000s of climate experts. One fact we all know: poor people care about climate more than rich people. Hardly surprising when you can't afford AC, work outside, etc. A few issues in the article... /1

My WW2 vet grandfather literally sat me down at age 8, showed me pictures of the camps, and made me promise to fucking fight anyone who said it hadn't happened after he was gone. On the rare occasions I've had to, I've started with, "Are you callin' my Granddad a liar?!" in his accent.

No local organizations are calling for a boycott of Tennessee. If you see people posting "Boycott Tennessee!", just know that they have no idea what the actual strategy is and you should listen to the people who do instead. It's really that simple.

I did not know this history of Mothers Day in the post-Civil War peace movement.

A beautifully preserved bronze mirror, found in Nijmegen (The Netherlands), dating to 50 BC–50 AD. Its reverse features engraved La Tène-style decoration, and the handle is inlaid with enamel. Parallels are known from Britain. 🧵 1/2 📷 taken by me in 2022 in Museum Het Valkhof

The disease has up to an 8 week incubation period. The Americans aren't being quarantined. Health experts are in minimize/don't worry people mode when they should be in overly cautious mode.

Even more reason to go to Italy. Sure, it's not perfect and it won't be without its holes, but it's a plan. Something our government doesn't do (for us, anyway). www.unionesarda.it/en/italy/pan...

My latest—A Long Island school district agreed to settle a lawsuit w/ a Muslim former student for $100k. They added 25k to avoid what she really wanted: public acknowledgement that her pro-Palestine art they painted over wasn’t actually antisemitic hate speech. Exclusive report from The Handbasket:

I admire the hell out of these Texas Tech students, who held a funeral for academic freedom: pen.org/texas-tech-a...

Already seeing people talk "oh no, more lockdowns" over hantavirus or regurgitate the claim that COVID was an attempt to control us. I'm sorry but I'm going to snap. The US did not do lockdowns, not real European-style lockdowns. People barely stayed apart. Remember "essential workers" having to --

Not that it's OK for ICE to treat anyone this way, but this woman is a green card holder. She's a legal immigrant who did everything legally and she's been kidnapped by ICE.

This part right here. Heed the people you claim to be worried about or allies of who actually LIVE in these places. If those people don't think it's helpful to try to emulate the lightning in a bottle that was the HB2 boycotts in NC, then maybe listen to THEM about what they ACTUALLY WANT AND NEED.

there has been talk about waiving the 18.4c/gal (gasoline) federal tax on gasoline and 24.3c/gal on diesel- these taxes also have not increased since 1993. If the fed tax on gasoline is waived, it would cost the government $2.1 billion in lost revenue per month.

If everyone's fine is the same $, the rich don't have to follow the law. Prison equalizes a bit cuz everyone pays in days. But prison costs to impose & not ideal in many situations. Instead, use day fines scaled to income or wealth, eg, fine = 5 days of income or 5% of wealth, whichever is more.

You can't learn to talk to people without talking to people. Check your public library events? Yeah, there's a lack of third spaces but there's also a lack of people using infrastructure that's there.

the very real possibility of a fascist government in Westminster in 2029 brings a clarity of thought: what is the most effective way I can contribute to stopping this happen? As Diane Di Prima said, "no one way works, it will take all of us shoving at the thing from all sides to bring it down".

73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need: -Paid family leave -Equal pay -Universal childcare -Universal healthcare (But get your mom flowers, too)

Hello everybody, I want to believe just as much as anybody else does but I really need to tell you that in my 10+ years of experience as a disinformation expert, the only reason UFO shit gets put out by the government is to distract you from other really bad things

things that can only be measured in quantum time: 1) the top quark 2) cosmic inflation 3) the time period between an avocado being unripe and being overripe

Marjorie Taylor Green isn’t a known antisemite because she criticizes Israel, she’s a known antisemite because of all the talk about secret cabals, Jewish space lasers, Great Replacement theory, and Jews killing Jesus. Hope this helps some leftists who are mad at AOC for being right about her today

Starting to think the whole Confederate monument talk was not about history but white supremacy. 🤔

I skipped the first 8 hour socal humpback whale trip of the year and unless they saw orcas eat a humpback or something I'm much happier with this goosecision

I think the main thing about scams is that you're most vulnerable to them when you're distracted or tired and don't have the time or energy to stop and ask yourself if this makes sense. You get a scam call about your credit card after a long day of disastrous other things happening.

When it comes to finding an EU anthem, the strategy of going with one of Beethoven's most recognizable bangers as opposed to commissioning some sort of new Europudding tune was a stroke of genius.

"at moments like these, MAGA is at bottom asserting the power of fascist lies to remake political reality itself—and force Trump’s enemies to fear that they must adapt to MAGA-dictated reality or perish. Which of course must mean wholesale capitulation to Trump." no surrender, no ballroom, no king

THREAD: A common claim I see is that the reason most of the photos we see from the 1960s are in black-and-white is because of some concerted effort to make events like the Civil Rights Movement seem more distant. While I understand the attraction to this idea, the reasons are simpler than that. 1/

From the Strib to the New York Times to Fox News, media orgs couldn't believe moms, of all people, were leading the resistance to Operation Metro Surge. They should not have been so surprised.

The second Biscuit Makers' Union poster follows the workers of biscuit making from "from field to tummy." This journey is depicted literally in the poster: starting with farm fields, through harvest, and production.

Zelensky has issued a presidential decree “allowing” Russia to hold its annual Victory Day parade in Moscow. The decree provides exact coordinates of the Red Square that shall be excluded from the list of Ukrainian strike targets. Phenomenal power play.

destroying the trees themselves instead of the peaches is where this goes from unmitigated greed into actual evil

And EVEN THEN. Many times therapy CANNOT WORK ALONE. I have a therapist. I also have zoloft. I promise my therapist would be banging her head against a WALL without that drug helping. But many people cannot get both. And now? He's sowing those little seeds of doubt. RFK is sowing STIGMA.

And RFK likes to go on about over-prescribing. Yes, clinicians do often like to prescribe these drugs! They are cheap, covered by insurance. You know what's not cheap and often not covered by insurance? Therapy. You know what's freakin hard to find? A good therapist.
