Witness the mesmerizing murmuration of starlings in Italy, a stunning display of nature's coordination and beauty as they dance through the sky in unison.

Earth Day reminder that Trump’s EPA rolled back regulations governing clean air, water, wildlife, and toxic chemicals. He’s pushed to open public lands to drilling and mining. And he’s gutted clean energy programs while promoting dirty fossil fuels. He’s a danger to our planet and our health.

Meta continues to do whatever Daddy Trump tells them to. Now, the Thought Police don’t want you talking about people who stand against fascism, and will ban you for saying it. If NOW isn’t the time to make a Canadian platform like Hey.Café, or Eh!, or North Social your main social media… when?

Beautiful story of a man bonding with a robin.

After a lunar flyby, Artemis II astronauts photographed the Milky Way from deep space on April 7, 2026, capturing vivid nebulae and star fields in total darkness — highlighting a rare, light-pollution-free view of our galaxy

Turns out, Iran is surprisingly good at trolling the Orange Atrocity. 🇮🇷 vs 🍊💩 Check it out their work here:

Artemis II is the best of us at a time when we're experiencing far too much of the worst of us.

Changes that Republicans made to SNAP will kick a lot of people off food stamps starting April 1. If you can, please support your local food bank. www.sandiegocounty.gov/content/sdc/...

Why do we have primary elections? Why are they so important? And how can ~you~ empower voters ahead of these primaries? Watch the recording of last week's primaries webinar here: youtu.be/akxdJEKNEjY?...

I highly agree having done this myself. I would also suggest that anyone who is suspicious of the voting system do this so you understand what safeguards are in place.

Worried about this election? We have the antidote: be a poll worker. Nothing will make you feel better about voting, democracy, or our country than seeing what happens behind the scenes and connecting with neighbors, we promise. Go here pollworkertracker.ohiosos.gov/signup to sign up today.

Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws? Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?

Keep calling out Fox BS propaganda, this is so disrespectful to both Dignified Transfers just to make Trump look good

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

Vernon Odom Sr. was a fearless leader who dedicated his life to justice, equality, and empowerment. His work at the Akron Urban League helped break down barriers and pave the way for future generations. This #BlackHistoryMonth, we celebrate his impact and continue the work he started.

The DoD now has more money than it knows what to do with. Imagine if we spent that money on healthcare or housing instead. "A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.” -MLK

Economist Justin Wolfers “What problem is Trump’s new global 10% tariff meant to solve? ... How much leverage do you get from a tariff that disappears in 150 days? ... Who builds new factories based on tariff[s] that disappear before the factory is built? It’s a tax. That’s all it is.”

Some things are worth more than money.

It can be argued that this works better at a small scale like Norway's.

Wow!!

One of my favorite photos of the aurora, ever!

BREAKING — WE WON! DC Superior Court Judge Darlene Soltys ordered the DC Metropolitan Police to produce ALL body cam footage of the March 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace within 14 days. Thanks to my @rcfp.org lawyers for their tireless work. Details on thehandbasket.co later today!

NEW: The people scamming SNAP aren’t the ones using it — it’s the CEOs paying their workers so little that they force the rest of us to make it up. Watch the perfect breakdown from @moreperfectunion.bsky.social ft. IPS @inequality.org scholar @sarahanderson.bsky.social: youtu.be/VKRLZk98EOg?...

it will really be something if the Epstein Files unseat a British Prime Minster who isn't in them, and not the American President who was Epstein's best friend.

The heads of Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla all joined Trump at his inauguration. Since then, largely thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, their companies have reaped $51B in federal tax breaks — paid for by huge cuts to our social safety net. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Imagine seeing this right when you walk out your cabin in Alaska… well, I did two nights ago!

Elon Musk's net worth just hit $800 billion. How? One of his corporations acquired another one of his corporations. Meanwhile, Elon's companies pay next to nothing in federal income taxes and get billions of dollars in government contracts. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Today should be another reminder that when billionaires take control of vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech or "free markets." It’s a win for oligarchy.
