France bans bee-killing pesticides. Bees are the engine of our agriculture. Without them, our food supply is put at risk. Healthy soil and intact habitats form the foundation for true sustainability.

Here’s another one.

TRUMP will withhold public safety money from states that don't hand over control of their elections to Trump.

Hahahahah

💔

Catching up on YT comments and I wanted to clarify something I can't really say over there. I don't believe DJT has frontotemporal dementia. Epistemic Crisis popularized that theory, and he has been wrong about a lot of things. I've always believed T has tertiary syphilis & heart disease.

National Guard deployed for wildfires while we ignore infrastructure. We should be investing in prevention and green energy, not just reacting when disasters hit. #ClimateAction #PublicSafety

Hibiscus ‘Pollypetite’ has kicked off. Not my favorite but Mom loves this old-fashioned plant so I made room for this dwarf version. Luckily, it hasn’t seeded around and still seems useful to the insects. #gardening #bloomscrolling #FlowerReport #SmallJoys 🌱

So, they’re…doing their jobs?

We are NOT MAD enough about the emerging evidence of the 2024 election being stolen! Kamala Harris campaign should have investigated the anomalies! open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...

Remember when the US took to the streets against police brutality against George Floyd? Isn't it about time we take to the streets against 🧊hole State Violence against Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, Renee Nicole Good, Alex Pretti, and Many more ? Enough is Fricking enough!

I have dreams of him being Attorney General @markhamillofficial.bsky.social

Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.

Wonder where Trump's obsession with procuring Greenland came from? You can thank Ronald Lauder of Estée Lauder, the $29 billion makeup brand, for that.

A former Wisconsin county judge has been spared prison time after she was convicted in federal court of obstructing federal agents from arresting an undocumented immigrant.

Certainly facts not opinions speak for themselves as you mention the truth. Trump found delaying tactics in court was justice delayed is justice denied from his earliest felonious Mafia style frauds & abuses. We need removal of this declining convicted old criminal liar AND reform!

"Today, Davey Hearn pled not guilty — because he is not guilty," Norm Eisen, one of his attorneys, said outside DC Superior Court. "If Mr. Hearn can be charged with a felony for touching the reflecting pool, every American is at risk — and every American should be alarmed about this prosecution."

This is so true.

The complete elimination of Meta would yield unambiguous, far reaching benefits for global society.

A favorite and familiar trail in my hometown; I have walked along this creek my whole life.

#FlowerReport from S WI: I stopped to admire these hemerocallis “day lilies,” planted alongside crane statues in a city park. July is peak flower season in our Midwest gardens. Best and kindest regards.

Keep a light in the window, dear friends. (Home of abolitionist John Rankin which overlooked the Ohio River on a bluff easy to spot by refugee slaves making the crossing) #WeCanSurviveMaga

Elizabeth DeWolfe was one of our first authors on our @uclpress.bsky.social publication 'Paper Trails'. Her open access article is a wonderful preview of this book, and it sounds like the podcast will also be well worth listening: ucldigitalpress.co.uk/BOOC/Article... 🗃️ #skystorians

The Supreme Court’s decisions shape millions of lives. Protecting judicial independence and equal justice must remain a priority in America

Extreme weather is affecting communities across America. Investing in clean energy is not just about the planet—it’s about protecting families and future generations

This is so powerful. Inspired by the March of a Thousand Robes in Poland, retired and sitting judges in the United States walked down the streets of Columbus, Ohio to stand up for the Rule of Law. #JusticeinMotion

Here’s a crazy idea: if a corporation wants to build a data center, they should also be required to construct renewable resource mechanisms to operate it—not funded by the public, but from the mountains of wealth they already possess.

In Ireland, rowan trees were planted near houses to protect people from evil spirits. Its bright red berries were thought to be the best colour for protecting against evil and its white flowers were seen as a sign of purity and magic. 🌳 #FolkloreThursday (c) Will Fitzpatrick

"Big Tech is, in fact, a weapons industry in the business of identifying bomb targets, spying on oppressed and occupied populations, and providing the infrastructure that enables crimes against humanity." Great to see workers organize against Big Tech's oppressive weapons & surveillance programs.

Oak trees keep absorbing carbon dioxide long after their annual growth has ended, revealing that photosynthesis and wood production are not as closely linked as scientists once believed. The finding… #science #trees #carbon

Pretty pleased with my onions this year. This is just the first half of my harvest. Got a lot of really big ones 🙂 They are mostly Walla Walla and Red Amposta 🌱

I was having too much fun recording all the busy bees. So beautiful being able to walk 5 feet from my door and be surrounded by a living, thriving green area for all creatures, big and small. #bumblebee #bee #pollinatorFriendly #organic #gardening #livingsoil #Pesticidefree #allnatural
