The very idea terrifies me. It's like stopping the heartbeat of the earth.

It is starting to piss me off when folks say “I’m just not into politics” or “I’m just not political”. Well, you better start feeling some kind of way about politics because you may be adversely affected because of politics. People forgot about voting rights….

It's exciting to see research confirming the connections among the various characteristics and medical conditions of the "Chronic Constellation" Maybe someday medical schools and hospital systems will have to acknowledge the vast numbers of us who are currently being misdiagnosed.

Never seen someone's health so miraculously turn around quite like Trump's when the draft ended. Suddenly and for the rest of his life every doctor in his orbit reports he's in legendary shape and no one has ever been healthier, he's a specimen, an anomaly that defies human nature he's so healthy

We found more than two dozen cases of immigration agents using "less lethal" weapons in ways that appear to flout the government's own rules, including by aiming at someone’s head, spine or groin or deploying chemical agents near children. With @frontlinepbs.bsky.social

The presence of electrical activity has implications for surface chemistry, future human exploration and habitability on the Red Planet

A chance discovery by a NASA rover on Mars shows that the red planet has a form of lightning, which researchers had suspected for decades but never seen. n.pr/4imUCUg

Volcano Hayli Gubbi erupted today in Ethiopia for the first time.

If you bleed the people dry, there will be nothing left to steal.

Fuck, that makes me so angry!

As a beekeeper, I've been thinking a lot about the terrifying collective power of honeybees. When you are in the colony and you piss off 40k or 100k divas who will move AS ONE against you...one cannot help but think of how we could look to the bee for wisdom on collective resistance.

NEWS FLASH FOR DIPSHITS LIKE ALAN DERSH: UNDERAGE GIRLS ARE UNDERAGE GIRLS. STOP TRYING TO CONVINCE US THAT SOME KINDS OF ASSAULTS ARE "OK." IT JUST MAKES YOU SOUND LIKE THE VILE DEGENERATES YOU ARE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO ANOTHER ANGRY POST, LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/4nUwPfH

New York City billboards are displaying the president’s 91 felony charges.

I think you're beginning to understand my problem.

I want people to be fed. Nobody should starve in the "land of plenty," even if they cannot work. We're a rich nation. Why does anyone resent giving someone food? Why do they have to "deserve it"? Why be so stingy? Do you belive the propaganda spread by billionaires who want us all to be poor?

It makes my hair stand on end to think about the drastic changes I have seen during my own lifetime. #ClimateChange

I'm bitterly disappointed that the Democrats don't present much resistance to fascism. Schumer doesn't lead. He merely takes up space. Pitch the whole lot into the bin but only keep the few who are truly progressive. They're looking out for the little guys. They haven't forgotten about us.

Tonight was a very bad night.

What the fuq were you thinking? At least my two senators didn't sell me out for the sake of their bank account. Chuck Shumer needed to step down long ago. Caving in to the Republicans is not representing your constituents.

“This decision will cause immediate, widespread, and irreparable harm to all those who are being denied accurate identity documents,” said Jessie Rossman, legal director of the @aclum.bsky.social

NEW: Mississippi Democrats broke the Republican Party's supermajority in the state Senate tonight for the first time since 2011. It came as Democrats flipped 2 Senate seats and 1 House seat. “Mississippi just broke the supermajority—and the people have taken back their power,” the party says.

The billionaires can buy the newspapers and buy social media and buy attack ads, but they can't buy their way out of how much we fucking hate all of them.

As the cold reality of Cuomo’s defeat sets in, this is a moment for centrists to ask themselves: Have we lost touch with the common voter? Get out and spend time in the tattoo parlors and dispensaries. The drag shows, community gardens and outsider art galleries where Real New Yorkers congregate

I can relax a little now.

Congratulations to Governor-elect @mikiesherrill.bsky.social and the New Jersey Indivisibles who worked so hard to secure this big win! This is a huge night for Democrats and a humiliation for Trump. The message from voters is clear: There is a political cost to siding with the regime.

The people of New York City have spoken.

Congratulations to Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on convincing millions to believe in politics and the future of the Democratic Party! His seemingly-longshot win represents a stunning rejection of the outdated, loser version of the Democratic Party that brought Trump to power twice.

Everyone should pay careful attention to the Maine voter ID ballot measure (Prop 1). It is on track to lose -- thereby proving that the GOP claims that voter ID laws are overwhelmingly popular is a lie. Perhaps now the legacy media will stop repeating that nonsense.

Spotted horsemint, Monarda punctata. One of my favorite plants because it's a pollinator magnet for all sizes of bees and wasps. It does well in our poor, sandy soil. #NativePlants #SupportPollinators

When the president is receiving literal *tribute* from foreign nations ... he might not be representing the will of the American people. Airplanes, golden crowns, it's all a grift and he doesn't care if his policies are downright *abusive* to the people paying taxes that are being misappropriated.

Today we're gathering seeds from whorled milkweed (pictured), anise hyssop, and horsemint in order to replant in other parts of the prairie. #NativePlants #SupportPollinators

I laughed WAY too hard at this

Mom and dad are so proud of you for marching today. #NoKings

#nokings Wasilla Alaska

#NoKings Talkeetna, Alaska : population, 1,000. Attendance - 111 !!! ❤️

Small towns throughout the United States lined our streets today to stand up for democracy #NoKings ❌👑 Around 1000 people showed up here in Saline, MI 🙌 (a population of roughly 9000) @indivisible.org

I didn't get a picture of the best sign I saw today, but I remember what it said: Somewhere in America A little Hispanic girl Is hiding in an attic And keeping a diary. #NoKings

A beautiful Bald Eagle circled overhead during our protest in Burnsville Minnesota and the crowd went wild #NoKings #Minnesota

Y’all here is a fun fact: Portland has a brand new volunteer organization called “operation inflation” that allows people to borrow inflatable costumes for protests. They just started a couple weeks ago and have like a 160 costume library (and counting because people keep donating).

A lot of people think it’s unreasonable to expect masking in public spaces What’s unreasonable is accepting a mass disabling event when we have tools to stop it What’s unreasonable is expecting disabled people to stay home forever What’s unreasonable is risking your long term health unnecessarily

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

WAR-TORN PORTLAND

On Saturday, we wear yellow. ❌👑

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

The frogs have landed in Chicago!

One of my favorite colors. ❤️
