People who can barely afford food or rent are stuck paying a trillionaires bills. Fuck that.

We shall meet in a place where there is no darkness. George Orwell. I'm a bit sad that I've not seen any evidence of dragonflies having emerged from our pond. I wonder if it was just too hot last year.

It feels weird to celebrate our independence as a nation, when it’s pretty clear we are losing it.

Jared Kushner wants Albania's protected wetlands. The government obliged. Protesters said no. 29 days later, they're still saying no — with flamingo cutouts and flags, in the streets, every single night. Europe is watching. Is anyone else?

🚨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...

I'm trying to find a bat rescue that can come to me in Vermont, it's not looking good. I was up all night walking a baby bat around the house and yard I'm staying at hoping its desperate squeaks would attract its mother. I can't leave- I'm taking care of a friend's pets. Almost 12 hours until dusk.

There is no capitalism left. The free markets are now monopolies and all the wealth and power is in the hands of an oligarchy. Its socialism or barbarism.

Postmaster can be arrested for interfering with mail delivery. First state to step up wins the nation's highest honor

This is an instance where the NHS used the precautionary principle: #LongCovid patients are not allowed to donate blood in the UK We are learning more about why that was a very good move.

I wrote about the Prairieland defendants and the urgency of opposing the extreme sentences handed down on Tuesday. And they likely will not be the last.

New in PN: American cesspool "Another $1.7 million slice of the contract to install a filtering system was awarded to — you can’t make this up — a West Palm Beach Trump neighbor who looks like one of the mid-‘70s Philadelphia capos who strong-armed Rocky into making his weekly collections."

Yep and we need to talk about how the most common conditions caused by Long Covid are dysautonomias, which cause temperature dysregulation and sweating dysfunction Long Covid is the leading pediatric chronic illness and impacts up to an estimated 36% globally: academic.oup.com/ofid/article...

South Florida's Venezuelan community is rallying to send emergency relief to those affected by the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela, as volunteers and donors packed warehouses with food, medical supplies and hygiene products.

As violent crime in America falls, especially in urban areas of the Northeast and Midwest, homicides perpetrated by police officers skyrocket and American police establish themselves as the most violent part of US society. It seems to be a function of the legal doctrine of impunity.

Americans are being put under total surveillance even in their cars. bsky.app/profile/cyko...

These are the actions of an authoritarian regime, where their agents come to intimidate you if you share public information about how they have killed American citizens

As the summer begins please, my friend, remember that regardless of what the last several years have led you to believe it is not normal (it really is not normal) for everyone you know to get sick in the summer.

PMC Update, June 8, 2026 The CDC reports COVlD levels are "Very Low" across the US. PMC estimates 1 in 300 Americans actively infectious. BUT there's an outbreak in Central/East Texas. We estimate ≈1 in 30 residents in key counties are infectious. Video 👇 THREAD 1/3 🧵

COVID Alert❗️Biobot released their 1st COVlD report in a month, and it shows levels rising in the US after the prolonged national relative "lull" in transmission. biobot.io/risk-reports...

One infection. That's all it takes. For millions around the world, a single COVID infection led to symptoms that lasted months or years. Long COVID can affect the brain, heart, lungs, immune system, and more. (...)

I don’t want to hear another word from establishment Dems about cooperating with Republicans. Don’t want to see another stupid bipartisan photo about “seersucker suit day” on the Hill. Nine people who protested ICE at a detention camp were just sentenced to 50-100 years in prison. WAKE TF UP.

The ongoing pandemic has taught me that some people will prioritize their own convenience over your health for years, treat the smallest precaution as a giant burden, and then somehow still accuse *you* of abandoning them

Trump spent gazillions of taxpayer dollars on this endeavor, only to end up fighting for a return to the status quo. So dumb.

You can't learn from a mistake you're unwilling to admit making. This kind of historical revisionism, and the underlying attitude of entitlement to redemption without responsibility so widespread in these circles, will allow the failures of the pandemic to kill again and again.

Oh. So Tulsi Gabbard wrote a report showing that voting machine vulnerabilities didn’t flip any votes. And now she’s not the DNI anymore. Hmm. www.reuters.com/world/white-...

The science of algae blooms. What Trump never learned in his high school science class.

Yes! We should do this in Vermont!

In Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, the fire department exists to start fires, not to put them out. Ka$h Patel is busy refashioning the FBI in a like manner, as an organization that commits crimes, rather than battle them. Rick Wilson reports on the flush fund payback squad of petty thugs.
