I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Happy Diwali to all who celebrate. 🪔🎆🎇

The little-known groundwater Los Angeles pumps in the Owens Valley, and the tribes who want it back “I want to see the water flowing again.” @carlinstiehl.bsky.social @latimes.com www.latimes.com/environment/...

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

"You're no Mario Cuomo, Andrew Cuomo."

This is such an exciting outcome and I couldn't be more thrilled that @ted.com will remain a non-profit and is being placed in such capable hands. A huge congrats to Sal Khan and Logan McClure Davda!

This is how I began every morning on the #Superman set, saying hello to Jolene, the Krypto stand-in.

Background: over much of the past year, basically by accident, @sonaar.bsky.social & I have been raising💰for a couple who arrived in the🇺🇸the day the USG suddenly lawlessly stopped fulfilling their commitments to new immigrants. We’d planned to donate furniture but that’s not what they needed so..

It’s my birthday! If you are able, I’d be thrilled (& since it’s my🎂, honored) if you’d donate to support an immigrant couple who are breathing new life into the American dream. www.gofundme.com/f/help-us-ke... Encouragement is also heartily encouraged—as is reposting/sharing with your network:)

This incredibly Minnesota sign is breaking my heart.

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

We have entered the "The police is saying that if the police is at your door you are not safe call the police immediately" stage of making America great again

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

Seeing all the "last day" posts from EPA staff today is heartbreaking. You deserved so much better, my friends.

@kcrw.com @travisholcombe.bsky.social really loving this Brian Wilson / Sly alternating tribute closing out this dumpster fire of a week… love you guys more than ever 💙

Rising to the occasion.

LAPD’s chief just said that the President may or may not have deployed the military in Los Angeles. In other words, the federal government and the military are not communicating—let alone coordinating—with the city, county or state…

Back to the beginning of the protest when they reached the federal building--this is a jaw-dropping photo from the Fox11 stream, where protestors directly confronted federal police and national guard trucks and soldiers, before being pushed back by LAPD. Almost gives Tiananmen Man vibes.

Thanks to their chyron, KTLA had no choice but to start reporting that protestors are specifically burning Waymos (& not police & private vehicles), but are now claiming that Google’s privately owned & for profit surveillance robots serve the public… Just in case: obvi it’s bad to burn vehicles!

"You can't start at a home depot and then claim you were there to go after pedophiles and murderers..." @ktla.com

Just picked up my copy 💧

Boniface Mwangi and Agather Atuhaire—both journalists & human rights defenders—were arbitrarily arrested, tortured, and forcibly deported by Tanzanian authorities while observing a trial to support transparency and justice. Please support their recovery here: www.mchanga.africa/fundraiser/1...

“But, by allowing the case to proceed through the German court system for a decade, had accepted the broader principle that climate change plaintiffs from around the world can use German property laws to sue German companies over their carbon emissions.” #water #climate www.npr.org/2025/05/28/n...

Happy birthday to my beloved @sonaar.bsky.social:) that I could even love anyone or anything more than I hate everything else seems mathematically impossible in the current conditions; I’m so grateful you exist & share your life with me. I love you & feel so lucky you were born & crossed my path.

Air, Water, Soil, Wildlife, Forests, Our Earth. We only have one. If we do just one thing each day to support our environmental stewardship, just one… maybe we can shift our planet back toward a healthier flourishing earth. 🌍 🌴🎋💦💧🐟🐬 #EarthDay #StarterPack

Did "Paradise" just turn into the bad billionaire bunker series I didn't know I wanted?

Hottest January on record mystifies climate scientists (who have also been predicting this, but sure) In response, Trump & Musk are deleting all data, defunding scientists & declaring all measurement illegal. www.theguardian.com/environment/... cc @sonaar.bsky.social

The policy lead for CDC's H5N1 response has abruptly resigned. Sources tell me CDC's response to the bird flu pandemic has been severely hobbled by the chaos of the past two weeks.

Brilliant reference to one of the best album covers ever. Please let’s stay immersed in & inspired by what we’re fighting to save - especially at the darkest times. It inspires and resonates on such a deeper level, and reminds us that not looking away can bring out the best in us 💙 #unknownpleasures

LA STUDENT WALK OUT - RIGHT NOW: high school students have walked out of class and gathered in front of LA city hall for the fourth straight day of anti-ICE, immigration rights protests. Solidarity with the youth! 🫡 Fuck ICE!

Elon acolytes targeting the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “It’s been a longtime goal of corporations that rely on Noaa data to prevent the agency from making the data public, instead of giving it directly to private corporations that create products based on it.”

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is. Know your rights. Pass these around…

Excluding climate from US agriculture and forest policy/planning is a recipe for wildfire, rising temperatures, droughts, food shortages, and the outright destruction of carbon sinks critical to our survival. www.ecowatch.com/climate-chan...

Authoritarian regimes don’t just collapse. They collapse themselves. They push too hard. They create their own enemies. And then—suddenly—they’re gone. Here’s how they accelerate their own demise. 🧵
