Thoughts for people living in safe blue cities and states: Alabama is the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement. People bled and died for our right to vote. #AllRoadsLeadToTheSouth 🧵

Forests give us $150 TRILLION in ecosystem services: clean air, water, pollination. Deforestation costs the global economy $2-5 TRILLION/year in lost services. We’re burning money when we burn forests. #GreenEconomy

Thomas Massie pushed for the release of the Epstein files, and the response has been tens of millions in outside spending, smear campaigns, and coordinated attacks. If this is what they do to a sitting member of Congress, imagine what Epstein survivors face when considering whether to come forward.

Bees don’t need sugar water to survive — they need clean water, natural minerals, and a safe place to rest. 🐝 A simple bowl with stones can help thirsty bees without harming them. Small actions in our gardens can protect pollinators and keep nature alive for future generations.

Update: The DOJ is now 6 month in breach of releasing the Epstein files. Holding these criminals accountable must be the Nuremberg of our time.

EPIC #ArtWork. The New American Gothic, 2017, by Criselda Vasquez Just… amazing. ❤️

the redistricting of congressional seats in the southern states is one of the most racist things i've seen in my life.

In May 1961, this brave man, John Lewis, was arrested for using a ‘whites only’ bathroom instead of using the bushes. We can’t go back. “When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have to speak up.”—Georgia Congressman, John Lewis. #ProudBlue #JohnLewis #GoodTrouble

Have a chillaxin day and a weekend of whatever you want or need it to be. 🌺🌺🌺

Women should not have to choose between building a career and building a family. Policies that make it harder for women to access advanced education are policies that undermine equality.

Hey 🤔 now that this FUBAR will be renamed, those of us who know how to use one 🤨 could grab our sledgehammer and volunteer 💪🏼😅 saving $$$$$$.

He was referring to you, you dimwitted, arrogant psychopath. GD you're dumb.

Colbert had Letterman on. It was hilarious. Next week is last week for Colbert. I will miss him!

Imagine having to get towed out by a minivan...🤣🤣

The chives are looking beautiful in the garden this week. They’re such a good value herb - for your salads, and the bees’ snacks! #Flowers #Nature

This always amazes me. In a very reprehensible way...how these men went from making these statements to complicit enablers. They could have and should have been better.

The south needs to be made to realize that racism is very, very expensive!

Science shows spending time in forests significantly reduces stress and anxiety. To save the forests is to save ourselves. Protect our green cathedrals. 🌲✨ #ClimateAction #MentalHealth

The average age of people defaulting on their student loans is now nearly 40, older than the average age before the pandemic. Meanwhile, total household debt reached $18.8 trillion at the start of 2026 — the highest on record. This is not what a new “Golden Age” looks like.

Attorney: I’m a trial lawyer. I tried the case against Meta and Google in Los Angeles, the first social media addiction case decided by an American jury. The evidence that I saw in that case keeps me up at night.

Dr. Rubeliz Bolivar Barrios has been released! She should never have been locked away by ICE. As an emergency and trauma doctor, she served patients in South Texas with dedication. I am grateful that she will be reunited with her 5 year-old daughter Milena and husband.

Using Jesus to sanctify an industry built on environmental destruction isn’t faith, it’s marketing. The Bible consistently warns against leaders who “call evil good” to serve their own interests. Christians should be the first to challenge this spiritual manipulation. www.desmog.com/2026/05/13/o...

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.”

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

A gentle reminder: we are only guests here, passing through the fields of earth. May what we leave behind be a song worth remembering.

Mockler: He took office and spiked 2.9% inflation, up to 3.8%. Gas prices are up to $4.50 in most states, and he did this all while stripping insurance away from 10 million Americans. I think the most impressive part is the deficit hasn't decreased at all.

First tears of joy of morning in Tom Petty's Reseda, CA. Seeing Clark Reynolds grow up remembering this photo of him as a wee one.Lovely trip down memory lane.Glad Im sitting next to Kleenex.Obama always great with children.This child at the White House would love to know what he is up to.

There is a special kind of magic in those who find wonders in the simple yet profound moments of life—those who greet the sunrise with hope, watch the sunset with gratitude, and lose themselves in the vastness of a starry sky or the gentle glow of a full moon.

Yep, nothing like admitting you’re a criminal.

So true

I don’t think people disagree with that so much as people disagree with the implication that keeping them in the torture chamber of X (where, let’s be clear, due to algorithm changes they no longer had any real influence anyway) would somehow have been better for anyone involved

Physician Matilda Evans was born 160 years ago today. Receiving her MD in 1897, she moved to North Carolina, where she became the first Black woman to establish a practice in the state, using the income from treating wealthy patients to treat the poor Black population for free. #WomenInSTEM #MedSky
