We’re debating whether Mitch McConnell is alive, lettuce is trying to kill us, the war in Iran is getting more aggressive, and Trump is nonstop whining about election fraud which is a great reminder that when the midterms are over all the real horrors of the OBBB start kicking in

Next up in LEARN, TO DO is the extraordinary, multiple Hugo Award winning, Marvel-writing @snarkbat.bsky.social on what Disability Justice can offer everyone for so that we can all do community care, sustainability, and leadership in deeper, more transformative ways… Register for them all now—

I have been expressing desire for an app that alerts me to the presence of pervert glasses in my vicinity. It exists and it's called Nearby Glasses! Immediate download.

AGAIN If you appreciate the work I'm doing on AI and everything else the best way to show it is by supporting for the cost of one fancy coffee a month or less this work so that I can literally keep doing it

The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is now.🙂🌳🐿️

Something so simple... My wild garden is cool even on days with 30C. Lovely to sit in. But the letting.agent and landlord will pit concrete slabs - easy maintenance. 😭

Mamdani got into office and instantly: • Froze rent for 2 million New Yorkers • Cut subway fares in half for low-income riders • Fully funded NYC parks • Added $680M for public schools • Launched free child care for 2-year-olds If establishment politicians actually wanted to help you, they could.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has announced that Mexico is taking legal action against the United States in regards to the cold blooded murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by an ICE killer in Texas. They’ll pursue justice for the mistreatment of Mexican nationals. Good. 💙👊

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

The government supporting private businesses is what China does. It has nothing to do with capitalism. It's for the enrichment of few, not for the stronger economy. The government supports MLM where the top gets the cream and crumbles for the 99% to fight over.

Elon Musk has taken more than $38 billion from the US government. He built his empire on government subsidies. Now he wants to ensure that nobody else gets help from the government ever.

We quickly forgot who were essential workers during COVID. Who are the professionals we can't do without! Not CEO's or marketing, educators, medical professionals and artists! Farmers, transport & logistics & local retail!

Over 4,400 nurses & home care clinicians just walked off the job in Boston, launching the largest nurses’ strike in Massachusetts history. Mass General Brigham executives need to pay up. These heroes save lives every day—they deserve a fair contract, not corporate greed. Let's show our solidarity!🤦🏾‍♂️🙌🏾

We should start somewhere! And then continue onwards.

Anyone who went and played in today's USA is not a good person. Boycotting that regime was the only correct choice. Yes, I had the same stance for the last host & players. You're not a good person if you bring money for dictators.

-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence Remember: These are the foundations of real freedom.

I AGREE!!!

Yeah!!

Remember NFTs? Remember the Metaverse? Oh, right, those are dead now despite tech bros and their bootlickers repeatedly insisting for years that they were "the future" and "inevitable".

It's interesting how everything people used to proudly call "public" when I was growing up (public parks, public libraries, public schools, public transportation, public television, etc) is suddenly "socialist" now that rich people are spinning it.

If companies can't run data centres without polluting our air and water, pushing up energy bills, abusing workers' rights, harming local communities or wrecking the climate – then they shouldn't be allowed to run them A safe climate and healthy environment are necessities – tech bro profits aren't

Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?

This should be shouted from the rooftops. Start every news cycle with this It's ALL JUST PRETEND. boys with their toys.

My resolution proposing a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision now has 88 co-sponsors! (You can view the full list at: congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-joint-resolution/122) I won’t stop fighting to get it across the finish line.

Bernie's Correct, As Usual......💙🌊

I feel like that headline sums up everything wrong with our global economic systems.

Does anyone remember 25 years ago: Food banks didn't exist. Or 15 years ago, when food banks were a novel concept unknown to most people. Food banks are now a necessary part of life for millions. And the Governments over that time have abrogated responsibility for hunger. Cut welfare? EFF OFF.

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

@rbreich.bsky.social trickle down indeed

Federal election campaigns of all sorts should be short (60-90 days) and federally funded. Period. No private donations allowed.

There’s a special kind of irony in watching the “shall not be infringed” crowd twist themselves into knots insisting birthright citizenship shouldn’t exist. It’s amazing how flexible “absolute” rights become when they’re someone else’s.

Today, I voted YES to release the names of Members of Congress who used taxpayer dollars to settle sexual misconduct and other misconduct cases in Congress. No more abuses of power and no more hiding behind a system that shields perpetrators. We will always fight for justice for survivors—period.

2 seasons of Kardashian's was one season too much.

If I were granted only one wish it would be the ability to rescue, provide a home to and love every single overlooked senior dog in every shelter.

🚨BREAKING: Federal court REJECTS Department of Justice lawsuit to gain access to Pennsylvania voter records. Another victory for Elias Law Group and its clients. Another defeat for DOJ. DOJ is now 0-10. 👀 ELG remains undefeated! 🗳️⚖️💪 www.democracydocket.com/cases/pennsy...

When they said, "wear a suit," I just assumed…  Find a public pool near you at nycgovparks.org.

There are more people protesting Orange Shit Stain outside the “Great American State Fair” event than there are at the actual event.

can’t tell yall enough what a breakthrough it was for me to learn from this interview that most people just want to feel like they’re being obeyed they rarely follow up on whether you actually obey them

-From Quarks to Quasars 1/ Fired government scientists just launched a new site to keep climate data public.The site is called Climate.us & it was created by former staffers behind Climate.gov, the NOAA-run website long used by many for trusted climate information."

This is exactly what we need.

The older I get, the more certain I am that the real meaning of existence is love for life. That is, love for the natural world, all of humanity, and advancing coexistence based on true justice, rights, and respect. 🌍

Okay, so Webb just identified a galaxy (LAP1-B) 800M years post-Big Bang with 240 times less oxygen than our Sun. That's a serious peek into the conditions needed for the universe's very first stars to form!

33% of the World's population does not have access to clean drinking water. Eff the data centers.

apparently Prime day is tomorrow and it's not just a day anymore it's like a wholeass week If you want some cool wall art, coloring books, novellas, kid's books, pins, stickers, or apparel, you can put $ into my pocket instead of Bezos' next yacht :D
