AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

This one is for the allies. Be prepared to be betrayed and attacked for supporting the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Let's stand for love and truth no matter what! Yes?

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.

The problem is, unwise people often think the evil they are doing is actually good.

Many of the folks I know from my grad school days ended up in USGS Water Science Centers. The amount of work they do that keeps you personally alive, fed, watered, but not drowning... You and I will all be worse off because of this in ways most of us probably have no awareness of.

Reading about the history of Cape Hatteras National Seashore for my Geology of the Natl Parks class, and how one of the wealthiest people in the U.S. at the time donated the funds to purchase the land. What a drastic change from how the wealthiest people treat the parks today.
