Oh my what a Schlapp in the face this is

Country that lectures Iran on democracy arrests another 523 people for peacefully protesting open.substack.com/pub/councile...

Millions of people in Sudan are surviving on just one meal a day, as the country's food crisis deepens and threatens to spread, per report published on Monday by a group of non-governmental organizations.

When law enforcement officers *create* a problem so dangerous that average citizens feel compelled to intervene in order to serve and protect their community, then the law enforcement officers have moved from a position of enforcing laws to violating them. Fuck ICE.

Whew! Hillary Clinton this morning on the US-Iran talks that fell apart: “This is hard, disciplined effort that has to go into diplomacy to reach any results. And I don’t see this administration either wanting to do it or, frankly, being capable of doing it…”

The Dutch blueprint for urban vitality goes far beyond the bicycle. It begins by reclaiming public space and reducing the dominance of private cars to make room for cities that are accessible, attractive and alive with possibility. Bikes aren’t the end goal, they’re just the means to get us there.

This is exciting! They may have found a cure for ovarian & uterine cancers 🤞🤞 www.theguardian.com/business/202...

No other president I can remember ever needed to announce a mass pardon for his cabinet & staff. Because they didn't need it.

Budapest ht: @anneapplebaum.bsky.social

This is my screaming tree. I've been going there a lot this year.

🚨 Euphoria in Budapest! Tens of thousands of people are flooding the streets to celebrate the opposition’s stunning victory. The scenes in the metro are absolutely incredible. What a night! 🇭🇺✨

. Trump has dismantled Forest Services And if you understood that the most precious thing on earth is actually NOT gold or silver It’s wood. You would all be storming the White House right now. No other planet has trees. But they do have plenty of the metals that we have on this planet. .

Andromeda XXXV is 1/1,000,000th the size of the Milky Way 🤯! The tiniest, dimmest satellite galaxy *ever* found outside our system is making astronomers rethink galaxy evolution. What else is hiding in our cosmic backyard?

Hawaii has not recovered from the flooding a few weeks ago. Now they are facing more catastrophic flooding. Where’s FEMA? www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyW1...

Just from our 2016 and Brexit, it's pretty clear that Putin has been trying to reshape world politics to his advantage. May this truth become universally known and universally acknowledged, and may people universally say "retreat, you beast."

Starbirth Image date: 20 November 1995, 06:00 This picture, an assembly of individual images taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, shows young stars at the center the Orion nebula. The seemingly infinite tapestry of rich detail revealed by Hubble shows a churning turbulent star factory set wi...

Food for thought: In '24, 245M Americans were eligible to vote. just 73.6 % of those (174M) registered to vote. just 154M of them actually voted. US voter turnout ranked in bottom 1/3 of all democracies. This is how democracy dies. Too many people have taken too much for granted for too long

A less than regular visitor came by this afternoon, a male Costa’s hummingbird with that amazing purple gorget! Also some nice squeaks and wing hums. #birds #BirdBuddy cam

That went well…

Trump has been DENIED MEMBERSHIP at Augusta National Golf Club. They say his personality is a "poor fit" for the club's culture. (Tom Booker @tbooker1.bsky.social)

Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."

Did you know that when bees grow old…they spend their last night resting gently on a flower beneath the stars. If they see another sunrise, they’ll gather one last bit of pollen…So when you see a little bee resting on a flower at dusk…pause & thank her. She’s more precious than gold. ~ GardeningSoul

Sadly there is not a word in the English language to adequately convey the idiocy and ineptitude of this President.

A bad dog owner dumped this wolf at shelter when he got to big and to much to handle. Luckily a sanctuary took him instead and save his life. His DNA testing is come back as 87.5% grey Wolf, 8.6% siberian Husky, and 3.9 German shepherd. Don't scroll without giving us some love… Original post

No matter what shitshow he manufactures, I still want to see the full release of the Epstein files.

Congratulations to Péter Magyar on a decisive election victory in Hungary. The Hungarian people have chosen a new path. We are ready to work with you, and our European allies, to deepen our cooperation in trade, defence, and security.

I am envious of other nations where people are living their daily lives…sleeping at night AND Not worried about what their government will do next.

Seattle: there is a proposal to build five of these things in our city. Yes, really.

Each year nuclear adds only as much net global power capacity as renewables add every two days.

Nobody does this shit better than NASA!

Trump's commandering of federal funds with the Congressional GOP MIA MUST STOP. Last year they stole $1 TRILLION from Medicaid (potentially another $500 BILLION from Medicare) and gave $3.5 TRILLION to the rich. This will result in 15 MILLION Americans losing their Healthcare in December 2026

Waterfalls always heal me and I needed my fix yesterday. I hope you all enjoy. Take a moment to close your eyes and breath deeply!

“It’s just this dissonant, unhelpful interaction that you have with the government,” Bauer said. “I lost my job, I need food benefits. Well, you can only get food benefits if you have a job.”

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

Petrified Table Rock… In New Mexico’s Bisti Wilderness…

Drove 7 hours and one state away to pick up to this lil rescue pup last Sunday. Meet Simon Lebone. Raised in a shalterand rather shy. I don't think he'd ever been in a pet store before. ❤️ Original post

When CITIZENS VOTE in MASSIVE NUMBERS, the FACIST and AUTOCRATS LOSE. It happens every ELECTION that sees MASSIVE TURNOUT. This is why the MAGAt’s are so DESPERATE to deny AMERICANS the RIGHT TO VOTE for as many as possible

ok 80 degrees in april in minnesota it’s actually not cute anymore

Together, we helped 21 Austin residents and families of union members complete their citizenship application! Texans work hard, regardless of their status. Now more than ever, immigrant workers are a critical part of our economy and labor movement! ✊🏽
