When people with courage and conviction stand up for us, we need to stand up for them. Major Jason Watson risked everything today by staring fascism in the face. This is his legal fund. If you can’t donate, please repost.

Major Jason P. Watson calls for the impeachment of President Donald Trump.

Wow who’d have thunk it, vaccines work 🤔 Great news to celebrate.

Physical books. You own them. They don't require updates. They don't surveil you or collect and sell your data. They are a genuinely safe hallucinogen that leaves you smarter and more empathetic and with a longer attention span the more you use them. Free from the library. What's not to like?

This is the future Big Oil built for us. Fossil fuel companies knew decades ago that their products would drive increasingly severe and frequent heatwaves, droughts, and wildfires, but lied to protect their own profits at the expense of public health and safety. The public deserves accountability.

Few people understand the scope of the powers UK governments have granted themselves, to criminalise us as terrorists for expressing an opinion. Fewer still understand how illiberal the Court of Appeal judgement is. But @davidallengreen.bsky.social does.🧵 www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

What they taught in school: GDP up = good. What they left out: The atmosphere has a limit Soil can die Water runs out 8 billion people need a living planet, not just a growing economy

*10 years in prison for touching the reflecting pool* *pardons for burning the Capitol Building*

Yes, Black folks built America. Black folks either built America or our labor generated the needed revenue to build it, a minimum of $5 trillion. Some say 10 times more. I seen number as high as $75 trillion. Black folks were the backbone of America’s economic engine.

Was going to be but need to keep 3 dogs and 3 cats alive through the week so will stay home, sadly. Lost a healthy French bulldog to the heat during the last 40º wave in 2022. Tips for which lines to stay cool tho: bsky.app/profile/erin...

They aren't building data centers to solve the world's problems, they are building them with the hope of consolidating all the world's wealth in their hands.

Poland has introduced a new law designed to protect journalists, activists and others from so-called SLAPP lawsuits, which are intended to silence critics through costly and lengthy court proceedings. "Courts will no longer be a tool for intimidating citizens," says the justice ministry.

Almost 5,000 people have joined our call for a halt to new hyperscale data centres in Scotland. Have you? The 24 applications in so far would require 1.5 times as much energy as all of Scotland uses at peak demand. We can't let this free-for-all continue. greens.scot/datacentres

Vaccines save lives. This is the FIRST time that ZERO cervical-cancer deaths have been recorded for this age group, and it’s thanks to the introduction of a vaccine against the human papillomavirus (HPV). Yes, you read that correctly. ZERO.

Food prices didn't skyrocket by accident. A handful of massive corporations have spent decades buying up competitors, squeezing farmers, and leaving small businesses with fewer choices. It's time to take on these corrupt bigshots and build a food system that works for all of us.

Corporations: "We invented a robot that drinks water!" Everyone: "What? Why would you do th-" Corporations: "All of the water actually!" Everyone:.... Corporations:... Everyone:... Corporations: "Also your taxes are going up!"

They removed CD/DVD drives from PCs. -Made physical media harder to buy and use. -Removed expandable storage from phones. -Pushed us into streaming subscriptions. -Made always-online normal. -Made unlimited internet necessary. -Slowly raised the price of everything. Ownership quietly became renting.

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

The ocean carries a strength shaped by time. Women carry a strength shaped by living. Both rise without permission. Both become what others once thought impossible. #photography #surfphotography #surf #surfer #ocean

Terre plate, l'explication...

1/ The largest political bloc in US isn't Red or Blue. It is the massive group of millions of people who have completely checked out, don't vote, and feel totally uninterested in the system. More people chose not to vote than voted for either candidate. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

For those talking about the lack of food in ICE facilities, you should know that jails and prisons regularly starve people to death. This is not a rare occurrance. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

There is a problem with business as a concept. Business assumes that the purpose of writing books is to make profit. But the purpose of writing books is to have people read them. If business could make more money pulping books, it would do so. Business is the enemy of craft.

I will keep saying this until people start understanding: Data centers are speeding up the wars of the future, which will be over water, not oil. This is not something to wait until after the fact to fight. If you will not be able to afford water, what do you think they will make you do for it?

What’s good, ya’ll? Here’s something 🤎 Dr Iman Abuzeid looked at a broken healthcare hiring system & built a billion-dollar company that flipped it upside down. She built a platform where hospitals apply to nurses instead of nurses applying to hospitals. That’s not DEI. That’s Black excellence.

@mayor.nyc.gov: “I have thought often of the "Margeret Thatcher quote: ‘the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.’ If anything, my friends, it seems that you eventually need a socialist to clean up the mess."

So, Donald Trump mistreated me by trying to overthrow a lawful election and disenfranchise me by trying to invalidate my vote. I will be applying for compensation from this new fund that is being set up. I encourage you to do so as well.

Dear Los Angeles, why are there no mayoral candidates with the energy and clarity of Zohran Mamdani? Dear California, why are there no governor candidates willing to speak as directly as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? 4th largest economy in the world and this is the bench? What happened? #LosAngeles

BREAKING: The judge in the $1.7B slush fund suit has dismissed the case, but she says THERE IS NO SETTLEMENT OF RECORD. As I said earlier, the media must stop reporting that this slush fund is a settlement. It's just plain THEFT. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Japanese robot detects 0.1mm rail cracks and repairs them autonomously at night using 10,000 RPM grinding and ultrasonic inspection

People who say things like "kids need to learn how to use AI so they aren't left behind" unwittingly sell out the very purpose of education, which is supposed to be about learning so you can shape the world, not learning so you can fit into its seemingly inevitable imperatives

"Heat pumps just shift gas burning to the power station." Wrong. Even if 100% of electricity came from gas, a heat pump at SCOP 3.8 uses 51% less gas than a boiler. At a terrible SCOP 2.5, still 25% less. David MacKay made this point in 2008. The maths hasn't changed.

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is not about the southern border. ICE is not about keeping us safe. ICE is about normalizing the use of government thugs on your streets. ICE is about keeping the people in power safe from the people.

Hantavirus outbreak should reset WHO's default approach to airborne risk 👏🏼 great op-ed by Milton, @trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social , @dfisman.bsky.social et al www.bmj.com/content/393/...

I know there’s a lot going on with the Labour Party, but it is all in the bounds of democratic politics. This however, paid collusion between the leaders of two political parties in the run up to election, if true, is a scandal of staggering propositions

Sky News is a JOKE! ▪️Nadine Dorries claimed the Left wants uncontrolled migration. 🚩I got Farage to admit that's a lie. ▪️Nadine claimed the Left sees living near refugees as punishment. 🚩That's Reform's policy! Sophy Ridge didn't correct ANY of it!

Like every Mother's Day today I am asking that you consider a donation to @nationalbailout.bsky.social to help free mamas who are separated from their families by the injustices of pretrial detention systems. secure.actblue.com/donate/freeb...

This Mother’s Day, nearly 150,000 mothers will spend the day apart from their children. 58% of all women in U.S. prisons are mothers. 80% of women in jails, including many who are incarcerated awaiting trial simply bc they can’t afford bail. Read: www.prisonpolicy.org/blog/2023/03...

There are 86 pregnant mothers locked up in ICE concentration camps. Pregnant immigrants in detention for months despite rules against it - Los Angeles Times share.google/PQsxrLcoTOWM...

Some people have asked me what I think about Hantavirus - and the answer is that there are far better people than me to get that info from! I've made a short starter pack for some great accounts to follow in case useful ! (NB it includes me by default) #Hantavirus go.bsky.app/UEkjsT

The President of the United States is a liar.

I could not have said it better!!!❤️💯

speculative insight from a physician who investigated the novel/emergent hantavirus in the SW US in 1993.

New paper out! 📢 The #wellness industry is a multi-trillion $ force: selling products, shaping norms, and now influencing policy. But it's rarely analysed in the way we scrutinize tobacco or pharma. We apply a commercial determinants of health lens to wellness, including #MAHA. Short thread 🧵⤵️
