PSA It’s ok to not be ok. It’s ok to be angry, unfocused, traumatized. It means you still have a shred of empathy left Do not try to weather this alone. Reach out to friends and allies. Many of us are feeling the same things. Support each other. Remind each other of the good still in this world 💚

🔥🔥🔥A thousand writers, directors, and actors signed a letter opposing the Paramount-Warner merger. That's a HUGE deal, since there was massive fear in the industry. It was organized by @markruffalo.bsky.social who I will now call the mayor of Hollywood. www.thewrap.com/media-platfo...

Not surprising in the least, and absolutely horrifying. When will we care about humans over profit? I hadn't heard about this until today.

This week, I will be forcing a vote on legislation to block the sale of nearly half a billion dollars worth of bombs and bulldozers to the Israeli military. The extremist Netanyahu government that has committed genocide in Gaza does not need more military support from American taxpayers.

I just explained to my very surprised parents that I call and email my government representatives when I'm unhappy with them. Which is, right now, ALL THE TIME. They're like 18 years older than me and didn't know that was a thing... Talk to your families!

I'll make some in her honor, I adore apricot jam 🤤. While my Hungarian grandma is still around, she's lost to Maga, and is not celebrating this incredible moment.

“We want to live in a free, European Democracy. After 16 years of sorrow, corruption and Russian influence. We have had enough” The organisers & singers at the massive Budapest concert told me why Orban has to go.

Detroit will unveil a street sign Saturday honoring Viola Liuzzo, the white Detroit mother of five who was killed by Ku Klux Klan members in Alabama after responding to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s call to support the Selma voting rights movement in 1965.

Good morning ☀️ I really want to write something positive right now but fuck the world sucks! Try to find peace today❤️ I’m going to try myself. Maybe the astronauts coming home might help👩‍🚀🌎 Love you all 🤝❤️

I know it’s crazy, but as an alternative, White House staffers could simply choose not to commit any crimes.

Oppressive heat. Species extinctions. Pollution-choked skies. This is the future that awaits the world unless humanity takes dramatic steps to end a series of mushrooming environmental crises, finds #GEO7. Read more: https://ow.ly/58Rj50YGrjM

How can we carry on when the president of these United States is unhinged, irrational, cruel, and completely untethered from reality and the checks and balances are an absolute joke. It feels like pitchforks and torches are long overdue. We must have justice, for all victims of this country #justice

So I guess I'm 50. For my birthday, I would love to see at least 50 people share their favorite fossil. It can be something you found, saw in a museum or just your favorite from a book/paper. This is one of my favorites. Gennaeocrinus mourantae from the Devonian Arkona formation of Ontario.

Call Congress and tell them to do their job: 202-224-3121

Pet your dogs, everyone, and appreciate that they have no idea what is happening in this fucked up world.

At pre-election rallies in #Hungary, the crowd began chanting: #Russians — go home! The historic slogan "Ruszkik haza" emerged during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and was directed against the #Soviet occupation 👍

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY! The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

Trump is threatening war crimes to annihilate "a whole civilization". Republicans in Congress repeatedly voted for Trump’s war and still won't do their job to end this madness. Enough. Bring Congress back into session. Republicans must grow a spine and stop this catastrophe.

The leaders of the free world - leading liberal democracies - have a moral responsibility to organize a world wide boycott of #FIFA #WorldCup games in the U.S. and demand all matches be moved to Mexico and Canada. Same consideration should be in play for #Olympics in LA.

If there is good in this world, please let there be peace on Earth in our lifetimes. I'm sick of the cruelty. It was beautiful outside yesterday. Enjoy this photo of my cat watching the birds and squirrels to brighten your Tuesday. #peaceonearth #peace #loveisstrongerthanhate #iran #war #hope

Turns out covering up for pedophiles isn't a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

Oh word? You don’t like people using your pirated work without your permission or compensation? Do go on.

Bernie is the billionaire class’s nightmare.

The No Kings protests had over 8 million protestors. Zero deaths. 6 people shot with a BB gun by a Trump supporter. The last time MAGAts had a protest, 2000 people showed up, 138 police injured, 15 were hospitalized, some with severe injuries and 5 people died as a result. We are not the same.

Climate has almost disappeared from our conversation. But it remains the most pressing challenge of our times. Last week the WMO said the planet is “more out of balance than at any time in observed history.” Energy security and climate security are not competing priorities.

We need to know how much energy data centers use – and if YOU are subsidizing the costs of Big Tech companies. Making this data public is the bare minimum.

Alice Augusta Ball found the cure for leprosy at 23. She died in a mysterious lab accident at 24. Arthur Dean stole her research, stole it and renamed it from "The Ball Method" to "The Dean Method." It took 90 years before her original research papers were found and she got the credit due to her.

To everyone protesting thank you! To those who are working, can't leave the house, or are sick, you are part of the resistance too!

So the DOJ just kinda stopped responding to requests to fulfill the legal requirement of releasing the Epstein files huh?

A huge win! The Senate voted unanimously early this morning to fund the Department of Homeland Security but without funding for ICE or Border Patrol deportation and enforcement operations.

Seriously guys, if you need a good companion to help you weather these hard times, I cannot recommend adopting a senior cat more. At this point he's my Sam Gamgee. "There's still some good in this world Mr. Frodo...and it's worth fighting for." #seniorcat #lotr #samgamgee #hopecore

The war in Iran has already cost $22.8 billion. For $22.8 billion, we could: • Provide Medicaid to 6.8 million kids • Build 2.6 million public housing units • Fund Head Start for 1.3 million • Hire 240,000 teachers • Cancel $20,000 in student debt for 1 million borrowers

Independence Day (1996) taught me that the president should fight during wartime

Went for a walk in the #forest to decompress today from all the horrors and I found these lovely #mushrooms. #outdoors #photography

I see all of the posts directing so much anger at all of us in the United States for "allowing" Trump to happen. I get it. I understand it, and rarely offer any pushback. But there are millions of us who oppose him. We don't have time for self-flagellation. We are trying to fix this.

This, always this.

Nobody gets seconds until everybody is fed.

I'd like to live in a country where kindness is a political virtue and politicians talk about and center people at a disadvantage and who can't stand up for themselves I don't want a politics thats all about beating up our enemies

Be careful out there guys. Get #vaccinated.

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after. It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

Ted Lieu: “A foreign hacker likely has the Epstein Files — the best way to prevent blackmail of government officials, such as Trump & Howard Lutnick, would be for AG Pam Bondi to stop the cover up & release all the Epstein Files as required by law”

AGAIN @murray.senate.gov asked unanimous consent to fund FEMA, TSA, our cyber defense agency, and the Coast Guard. AGAIN Republicans blocked her. Republicans are showing where they stand—and it’s not with the American people.
