huh! good to see internet rewilding being taken up as a frame and a rallying cry by @mozilla.org Be great if you guys linked to where the idea was born and the people already working with others and bending the whole shape of our lives around how to do it: www.noemamag.com/we-need-to-r...

Oh, this is fantastic!

Slightly increase a band Ben Kwellest

There will be a way out of this, even if we do not see it yet. Keep studying, keep building politically conscious community, keep helping each other, keep your eyes peeled for the way forward. We will find it yet.

This graph shows two things, 1) obviously that the cameras reduced speeding, but 2) that the improvement kept getting better over time. Speeders tend to get one or two tickets and then learn and change their behaviour. This isn't a cash grab, it's an extremely useful intervention.

This is what it looks like to steal elections in America. It's not the Hollywood blockbuster w military tanks at suburban voting booths. It's racist oligarchs using legal chicanery to suspend elections & redraw maps to take power away from Black ppl & give it to white nationalists

One side is like “can we disenfranchise all the Black voters by this weekend” and the other is like gotta follow the rules that govern the rules that control the rulebook

Russia and China continue to win the Iran War. www.ft.com/content/f87a...

And evergreen advice for any kind of alarming email/phone call. Something I have struggled to remember when I've been phished, for real.

Happy to share a new zine we just finished that's an updated version to "Recognizing Hate". This zine is a reference guide to identify various nazi dog whistles, and includes a list with brief descriptions of the most active far-right groups currently in the US. www.wewillfreeus.org/farrightthre...

clear goal of republicans in these states is to, in the words of carter glass, “eliminate every Negro voter who can be gotten rid of, legally, without materially impairing the numerical strength of the white electorate.”

The aesthetics of genai images are the aesthetics of the people who make them, and the people who make them are tasteless Nazi chuds. The incel loser stink of these groyper sex pest freaks is permanently attached to the aesthetic It's impossible to not think "what Nazi asshole did this" on viewing

No one "deserves" billions of dollars. But we ALL deserve: -Safe and affordable homes. -Healthcare. -Clean air and water. -Nutritious food. Tax billionaires. Deliver for everyone.

This is not an exaggeration. Alex Jones is allegedly bankrupt but has an infinite well of dark money to pay lawyers, sell pills, and harangue judges and the parents of dead kids. This stay must be lifted so we can take over, and I hope journalists look into where he's getting and stowing his money.

i heard that sir david attenborough is really disappointed in you

get in loser we're getting Reconstruction right this time

Is this what winning looks like?

As if we ever believed these private donors existed. We've known since day 1 that we'd be left holding the bag for this abomination

The attack on education in the US is not new, but the slow fuse that arguably started with Reagan is now setting off detonations across K-12 and higher education that are going to be incredibly difficult to walk back if we don’t treat this like the urgent crisis it is.

This is not a feel-good story. Veterans of the Vietnam war are, like, 70 at the youngest. They should not have to be working.

Or fund museums, national collections (natural & cultural) and support rural communities keeping intangible culture alive. Show you caring by caring

A University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa study shows that Waikīkī faces increasing sewage flood risks from sea-level rise through storm-drain backflow and groundwater emergence. The findings call for updated flood strategies focused on contamination, not just surface damage and economic loss.

Brazil bans Kalshi and Polymarket from operating in the country. obviously things aren't perfect there but I think we need to think seriously about how to get institutions like theirs

One of the funny things about shoving this stuff into every workplace with no understanding of how it works or its limitations is we've finally answered the age old rhetorical question "Do you want it done fast or done right" with "Oh fast, absolutely"

They're just little guys. You can look at them for free and you can look at them up close if you pay for Bird Premium (binoculars or camera). They're just doing behaviors. They will never email you.

Live your life so people don't cheer when a wild animal kills you.

My labor of love is finally ready to greet the world. With the rise of internet laws about age verification and content control, I teamed up with friends to build a cosy self-hosted book-loving space free from the tech conglomerates. The end result: www.queerbooks.space/

Gather around children and let me tell you the parable of the Florence Whale and how, sometimes, bad ideas can be reused for good.

This is correct. Best available estimates suggest that the destruction of USAID, in which musk played a central role, will kill over 14 million people by 2030, 1/3 of them children aged < 5 years www.thelancet.com/article/S014...

This is literally just the Trump administration

I guess if Americans don’t want to buy Spirit Airlines with their tax dollars it’s tough shit because Trump will spend our money on whatever he pleases since we don’t have a Congress anymore.

Holy crap, guys. His approval rating is down 300%.

"should we really resort to playing dirty to defeat the nazis i–" yes. kick em in the fucking balls. what kind of question is that. grow the fuck up

Everyone knows the way you change the Constitution is to have six people in robes make up a new Constitution as they go along.

did any of these whiny republicans speak out when trump started this whole redistricting kerfuffle were they out there protesting the texas legislature

i think humans are pianos. temperamental, a lot of variation, capable of a wide range of songs, what you hear out of them mostly depends on what's popular at the time. they can all be discordant but few are so out of tune that they can't make any good music

Not for nothing, but the GSA has a “prohibited vendor list” to prevent companies that “pose a national security threat” from being listed in a government marketplace—I can imagine this kind of mechanism could be expanded by legislation to include companies that facilitate human rights violations…

"People upset by the genocide perpetrated by the state of Israel in Gaza" and "people concerned with antisemitism" are groups with plenty of overlap. It really disturbs me to open my Popular with Friends tab and see it surfacing a post that suggests otherwise.

mRNA vaccines are one of the greatest medical discoveries in history bordering on a miracle cure and RFK Jr., that brain-damaged pestilence goblin, SHOULD BE LOCKED UP IN AN UNDERWATER PRISON ON THE MOON FOR CANCELING RESEARCH INTO THEM.

It’s hard to express how important Iris was to ACT UP’s scientific development. She was the catalyst who started it all. Iris Long, Scientific Mentor to AIDS Activists, Dies at 92 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/h...

New deaths in ICE custody on nearly every single day of late #RIP The moral cost of their cruelty makes me sadder every single day....at least when I was incarcerated I did something to deserve it www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

🚨The last time Senator Wyden raised the alarm this urgently, it was in March 2013 when Wyden asked DNI Clapper in a public hearing about the NSA surveilling the phone records and emails of every American. Three months after that hearing, the first Edward Snowden mass surveillance story dropped.🚨
