Nearly 4,400 fewer U.S. teens and young adults died by suicide than projected in the first two-and-a-half years of the 988 mental health crisis hotline, a sign the program is working even as it faces long-term funding challenges. https://to.pbs.org/4cFt4ao

Still feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.

Every Republican who voted YES to another $70 billion ICE slush fund at 3 AM last night said NO to child care.   Republicans said NO to health care. NO to helping working Americans in any way at all.   I'll be making sure everyone knows it.

More research is necessary but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalised vaccine are still alive six years later.

Serious point - if every public aspect of Trump isn’t eradicated, America will be forever Trump. The Germans know. And Trump knows.

It’s worth watching this video when critiquing the climate movement. Any climate movement that doesn’t move sharp to the left will fail against fascism.

I switched to @libro.fm for all my audio books (and @bookshop.org for my ebook and physical books) and can now sleep the sleep of the just.

this is why there’s been mass revolt and opposition to data centers being built in communities. it is genuinely a health hazard to live this close to something emitting this much sound. these need to stop being built

Absolutely horrifying. ICE continues to terrorize and shoot innocent people.

It is hard to capture what a sweeping strategic defeat the war in Iran has been for the United States. I’m going to thread here some of the posts today that try to capture those effects. Here’s the first:

The singular goal of all future US politics is to ensure Trumpism is defeated and cannot again take root here, and everything that serves that end is to be considered and prioritized. It's a holistic organizing principle, from a Green New Deal to Nuremberg 2 to expanding the court to Reconstruction.

It is sad when the vice-president of the United States sees his job as spreading Kremlin propaganda.

Trump told ABC’s Jonathan Carl that he’s looking at going in with Iran to charge ships moving through the Strait of Hormuz - a joint protection racket. Trump: “It’s a beautiful thing” Zero morals, Mob Rule in the US.

“The majority of Americans are open to living car-free even after decades of car-centric planning, a new survey finds…A stunning 18% of car-owning U.S. residents indicated that they were ‘strongly interested’ in living car-free, and another 40% said that they were ‘open’ to it.” @usa.streetsblog.org

If you have any information at all on these plans, now is the time to share it. Reach me on Signal at marisakabas.04

DAWG FUCKING WHAT

When Trump posts a deranged, insulting rant that threatens war crimes, it's treated as a fresh approach from a bold leader. When AOC gave an off-the-cuff answer consistent with decades of sensitive US–Taiwan–China relations, they transcribed ordinary verbal breaks to suggest ignorance and waffling.

In light of the conversation about how hard it is to promote your own book: Post a link to buy your book here and I’ll boost it cause you destroyed yourself to get it done, your publisher won’t help you sell it, and you deserve cheers and admiration for your accomplishment.

If you need an antidote to what you just saw/heard/read, this from @cathyyoung63.bsky.social should do it. www.thebulwark.com/p/zelensky-k...

This is a verified GoFundMe for librarian Luanne James from the Rutherford County Library Alliance. gofund.me/f7704eb98 Read what happened to this hero: www.newschannel5.com/news/rutherf...

Everyone pony the fuck fpr the librarian who just got sacked for refusing to remove LGBTQ books from the kids' section of the library.

It’s time we organize to fight for real solutions to the root causes of the student debt crisis. You should write to your member of Congress and demand they co-sponsor the College For All bill sitting in Congress. Take Action: secure.everyaction.com/peji52-KV02I...

If you have federal student debt, you may have recently received an email from the Department of Education telling student debtors who are in the SAVE forbearance to switch plans. We want to encourage you to not rush this next step. Take a deep breath. You have until September.

The DOJ quietly closed more than 23,000 criminal cases in the first six months of President Donald Trump’s administration, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, drugs and other offenses in order to pursue immigration cases. minnesotareformer.com/2026/04/01/t...

Cities can now achieve “what was once thought impossible”: cutting air pollution by 20–45% in little more than a decade. 19 cities, including London, San Francisco and Beijing, cut levels of both PM2.5 and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) by more than 20% since 2010. buff.ly/hsm3JlY #ShareGoodNewsToo

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

I like this for a lot of reasons. But mostly because the path to decarbonization AND cost reduction is electification, and electric regulation is primarily done at the state level in the US. Governors can lead, and Spanberger is. www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

These are valuable facilities they’ll be guarding, and I certainly hope they’ve fixed the problem of using a wifi jammer to kill their cameras’ connection to the security feeds, one person flipping it with a pole and another then pulling up and back on the battery handle on the now exposed belly.

It is not only public good on its own, but a refutation of the myth of free markets and of the adulation of wealth that has plagued this country for far too long.

To be clear: the SAVE Act does not simply require the identification voting ALREADY requires. It demands proof of CITIZENSHIP— a birth certificate with a name that matches yours now (bye, bye, married women), or a passport— both of which are expensive and take a long time to obtain.

Why would anyone ever help this country again?

(1/4) Plug-In solar systems are portable panels that can be hung from a balcony, set out on a patio, or placed in your yard, and then safely plugged into a wall outlet just like a toaster. They have just four parts:

This is a lie on a scale of Elon Musk saying he would cut the deficit to zero. Just insane. Not just untrue, but the opposite of the truth, which is that immigrants are lowering the deficit. www.cato.org/white-paper/...

The move to create “AI-free” certification systems.

LANDERS: Why did the FBI seize election records in AZ? TRUMP: They probably thought the election was rigged LANDERS: It wasn't though TRUMP: Oh really? How do you know? LANDERS: Your own AG said it TRUMP: If you say it wasn't rigged, you're a rotten reporter LANDERS: Where's the evidence?

Anthropic refused to let the Pentagon use AI to fire weapons autonomously or spy on Americans Seems entirely reasonable The Pentagon terminated their contract Yet we’re supposed to believe Hegseth switched to OpenAI but guaranteed those same provisions will be honored Riiiiiight

A more apt description of the Mar-a-Lago administration has never been written.

It would mean the lobbying by big US tech firms had succeeded, and the protests of the UK's creatives had been ignored. People's work is not the government's to give away. If you're in the UK and you care about creatives and the creative industries, please write to your MP! /end

No votes on ANYTHING untill we vote on the War Powers Resolution.

This is such an exciting day for me, with the premiere of the film made about my 17 years rewilding an Irish Atlantic rainforest (also the film's title). What a surreal moment in my life it'll be to see the ecosystem I know and love so well on a big cinema screen!!

A reminder that the administration spent the day before it launched a war in the Middle East feuding with tech companies over whether and how the AI models the Pentagon buys will be restrained from autonomously killing people.

Once again, I am promising Democrats there are literally thousands of former department of justice people who will crawl over broken glass to prosecute this administration given the chance

I don’t think I’ve ever had so many people writing to me to ask about encrypted/secure/private tools for comms, collaboration, and organizing. So @lhn.bsky.social and I talked to experts and assembled this: the Wired guide to organizing in an age of surveillance. www.wired.com/story/how-to...

Of all the things we are doing in MN, this one is just beyond. Imagine being released from hell alone in the cold. And a total stranger has waited all night with a blanket just to be ready to hug you and carry you home. Every job we do is crucial, but this one is what restores humanity and dignity.
