Walz: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace and kidnap its citizens off the streets or on the side of a nurse at the V.A. who died bearing witness to such government

some good ideas here...

For women, posting any image of yourself online is a much more loaded decision than it oughta be. This Grok shit just like 10,000XD that anxiety.

This is the ICE-masked thug that shot and murdered the woman in Minnesota. Make his face known, and let's get some facial recognition users to make his name known. Trump and DHS are going to try to cover it up.

Wow, put this in the "Explainers Hall of Fame." My goodness this put everything Epstein into perspective. Brava, Asha.

A must-read message from Colin and Sophie Hortman, Mark and Melissa's children:

youtu.be/G0WXr_Uvl2Y?... @hcrichardson.bsky.social A true treasure for the current American people. We are proud of our country which is why we are concerned by what we have become. We're capable of doing greater things ✨️. Why do we allow others to diffuse our brilliance? Fight the Good Fight

The "people power" part of the story, with solar panels on homes and businesses, is what should have been happening, full speed, in this country for at least ten years now. It's kind of stalled now. I don't think this article makes clear: You can't beat the price of the fuel for solar. It's free.

Food co-ops everywhere!

we’ve been over this we just did this in Massachusetts they’re not gonna leave, they’ll whine and bitch and moan and eventually this will raise more money than expected because nowhere they go is actually like the place they’re leaving

This from the Uk, a country not lacking for expressions in their own language. I’m sure we can borrow a few when necessary. Old man trump thinks the world loves him. If only he would wake up to the truth.

Christ on a bike, this is brilliant. And disgustingly historically accurate. 10/10

All good points, with social and environmental benefits as well as lowering food prices.

Listen and repost, ad infinitum.

Among the newly-released Epstein files. This Justice Dept email from Jan 2020 'I wanted to let you know that the flight records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported"

Trump is bailing out farmers again, because of course he is. This is how it always works in Washington, D.C.: Heads farmers win, tails taxpayers lose

The Vanity Fair photographer from the Susie Wiles story. Holy. Shit. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

My investigators are back with more on our follow the money investigation into Epstein. Here’s a thread for anyone interested in learning about another major Epstein mystery:

Amazing!! Women Help Women (womenhelp.org) is manufacturing their own abortion pills in order to make abortion safer, simpler and more accessible across borders. They designed an eco-friendly combi-pack that's easier to mail discreetly and centred around women’s experiences and needs.

I want everyone to start posting #SitDownShutUp in response to anything àn antifeminist woman writes ànd publishes. If they don’t believe in feminism thén they shouldn’t have ANY public existence. They need to scrub floors at home.

A landmark study on the safety of glyphosate, the active ingredient in the controversial herbicide Roundup, has been formally retracted by its publisher, raising new concerns about the chemical’s potential dangers. The Trump administration, meanwhile, aims to shield its manufacturer from lawsuits.

(And yes if you're curious about why this is the case, I did make a lil vid vid youtu.be/ESG3O7GLQXc 💁‍♀️)

Montgomery County first made its “Ride On” buses free to all riders under 18 in 2019. Then on June 29, 2025, it made all of its buses fare-free for all passengers. The system has a fleet of nearly 400 buses, 80 routes, and provided 19.2 million rides in the 2025 fiscal year.

In 2015, I wrote the first big article inside the war on coal for @politico.com. Ten years later, I wrote about how the war is going for @canarymedia.com. The @sierraclub.org is still winning the war, but Trump and AI are complicating the endgame. www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

If you want to know why Hegseth is panicking about reminders that there is accountably for giving or carrying out illegal orders, it’s likely because he knows he has given illegal orders to murder people.

Despite their positioning as a green alternative, experts warn biofuels expansion could have catastrophic consequences.

In honor of Larry Summers, I asked the female members of my college class (1987) to say if they had any experiences with sexual harassment by teachers/professors, back when this was tolerated as, I dunno, the cost of attending college, and OH MY GOD.
