NEW: Imagine saving 12 years for your dream home, only for oily black water to surge through the foundation overnight. This is the reality for one Oklahoma family. Watch their story in “Toxic Ground,” a documentary from @readfrontier.bsky.social and ProPublica:

“In his, her or their own space and time” is a beautiful way to describe the spectrum of autism, of neurodivergence 🪐⏳ Kiersten Case’s Lilypad Library is on a mission to highlight the experiences & stories of young autistic kids ✨🌱

Life’s a lot like baseball. You won’t hit every pitch, but if you stay disciplined, trust your swing & keep showing up, the wins will come. In baseball & in life, striking out is part of the game. The difference makers are the ones who step back into the box anyway! #SheShed

NEW: For the first time in 2025, more than half of all new cars sold in China (53%) were EVs or hybrids. In the US, the figure was 10%.

In case you have forgotten who Andy Kim is, he’s the rep who came into the Capitol building after Trump’s J6 goons had trashed it, got down in his hands and knees, and cleaned it up. And ICE have gassed him. They have peppersprayed the true patriot who thinks American ideals are worth defending.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social @betoorourke.bsky.social @crockett.house.gov Time to challenge the GOP on renewable energy! Don’t let them bury what Texas is doing with their energy infrastructure!!

Films more likely to star an actor called Chris or a talking animal than a woman over 60, study finds

The more we learn about data centers, the less we find to love: www.techradar.com/pro/arizona-...

Most Caribbean countries have restrictions on entry. Bahamas will only allow felons who have *completed* their sentences. A total of 38 countries will not allow felons to enter. #ProudBlue

Imagine being a Russian troll assigned to Bluesky: “Comrade, today you will destabilize Western democracy by arguing with poets, policy nerds, and a raccoon avatar with tenure.”

Trump interpreted the "Thucydides Trap" as America's decline under Biden, suggesting that Xi was implying the U.S. is a declining nation. However, the term itself describes the tendency for conflict to arise when a rising power challenges an established one. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

I really think it's time we stop eating these creatures... spacedaily.com/sd-octopuses...

BREAKING: Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges, two law enforcement officers who clashed with Jan. 6 insurrectionists, have sued to block the Trump 'slush fund'. They're asking a federal judge to find the creation of the fund illegal and reverse any transfers that Treasury has made to DOJ to implement it.

Another example of how these data centers are being built so quickly 😳😳😳😳😡😡😡🤬🤬

Fascinating list which perfectly illustrates the problem with these things. Only one of the top 22 was written in my lifetime - and I'm nearly 60. It's more a list of received wisdom of things people were told they should read when they were at school or university.

The UK has avoided the need for gas imports worth £1.7bn since the start of the Iran war, as a result of record electricity generation from wind and solar. 🔎 This is according to a new analysis by Carbon Brief. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-win... #DonaldTrump #ActOnClimate #ClimateActionNow

"The Gestapo tactics of this president will not stand here."

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

“My childhood home is being taken by @GeorgiaPower to supply power to a new data center…” 🤔 They are now seizing people’s homes in Georgia via eminent domain to build power lines for a $17 billion data center. One has been forced into Utah. And xAI in Memphis. And on and on.

President Donald Trump said on Monday he will reduce the 18-cent federal gas tax for a yet to be determined period as U.S. fuel prices shoot higher ​due to the Iran war. Oooo $0.18 of tax so $1.18 per 10 gallons. The bulk of the cost is not the gas tax. It’s a supply issue

@weratedogs.com This is Sarge. He is the saddest Wheaten Terrier. Daddy has not shared his dinner. It doesn’t matter that Mom gave him some. He is truly dejected and “upsetty spaghetti”. Daddy is our favorite human. Mom will do in a pinch.

Like this is at all surprising!!! We poisoned the planet to a critical level between CO2, the garbage we generate, the mass consumption, forever chemicals etc. Who knew that some of these things would have more than one negative impact. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

I am reposting this here to share with #Bluesky I would love to see these studies in full because this is haunting me today. I am wrapping my head around this because my gut knows this is true but it is so mind boggling painful to believe. substack.com/@sugarrhi/no...

In case you missed it ... Scotland is a green-power giant that would be welcomed into the EU with open arms! #RejoinEU 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺

The Fifth Circuit just told millions of women that three judges know better than the FDA, their doctors, and 25 years of evidence. They don't. This restriction on medication abortion is a nationwide abortion restriction, full stop. I have no intention of letting this stand.

Happy May Day, California! I’m here at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles standing with workers who power our communities and move California forward. As Governor, I’ll be your fighter - standing up for working people, protecting your rights, and making sure every family has the chance to thrive.

Trump is such a petulant toddler. www.wsj.com/world/europe...

The most likely scenario in my opinion.

This is why Americans are stupid. Approximately 40% of American adults did not read a single book in 2025, while the median number of books read was just two. Among those who read, 19% accounted for 82% of all books read, indicating a small group of heavy readers drives the overall statistics.

Let’s all post it and see if they indict all of us.

He also wouldn’t have faked assassination attempts— one after another— to improve his polling numbers, worn a ludicrous ear drape to hide being ENTIRELY untouched, or used a fake blood capsule despite his experience acting in Hollywood movies.

When you live on an 8000 sq ft lot and want 10 acres for chickens, highland cows, Valais black nose sheep and some mini donkeys so you can not have a farm, this is what you get

WSJ:Diplomatic efforts to end the war in Pakistan collapsed on Sat. Tehran’s foreign minister Araghchi, visited Islamabad, & he met w/ Pakistan’s senior leadership but he flew out before the U.S. delegation took off. Pres Trump will not send Steve Witkoff & Jared Kushner to Pakistan at all.

Four days a year, Seattle Center turns into a free clinic. The line starts the night before. By the end of the weekend, volunteers will have seen around 3,500 patients, many of them working people who either don’t have insurance or can’t afford to use it.

Turns out the phrase “America First” is preceded by the words “Sell Out.”

"COVID vaccines tied to less hospital care, long COVID, and economic burden." "People vaccinated against COVID in Germany in 2023 experienced reduced hospitalization rates, fewer long-COVID diagnoses, and lower all-cause mortality than those who weren't vaccinated, according to a new study"

Powerful stuff. And yes… that’s only some of the regime change we got involved in. We also tend to install dictators like Saddam Hussein, Pinochet, Marcos, and Manuel Noriega.

We have effectively committed suicide. Hopefully we can undo the damage and build back better and stronger. See the mistakes, own up to them and codify better guardrails to prevent this in the future. Our lack of imagination and ignorance are huge problems. We need clean house and make renovations

Florida lawyer David Oscar Markus has made a career of representing controversial clients. His next big challenge? Getting Ghislaine Maxwell out of prison.

We should be learning from other countries...
