CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Whether you like or dislike what’s said, free speech is at the heart of our democracy. Protecting it should be one of our core missions as a nation. If there were ever a moment for the so-called “free speech warriors” to speak out, now would be the time.

One global pact quietly changed the course of our planet’s future. Not only did it help heal the ozone layer, but it’s also reversing the impacts of climate change. Wondering how? Our article explains: www.unep.org/news-and-sto... #WorldOzoneDay

The Montreal Protocol has led to the phase-out of 99% of ozone-depleting substances, while simultaneously protecting the planet from warming and reversing some of the effects of climate change. Ahead of #WorldOzoneDay, explore our Q&A to learn more about it: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

Hey everyone...LOOK OVER HERE! It's Lt. Col. Bone Spurs declaring war on an American city!!! Does his rough tough cream-puff cosplay make you forget about the EPSTEIN survivors, their lifetime of trauma & their courage to speak the truth in public? Yeah, me neither. #ReleaseTheEPSTEINFilesASAP

What are the latest trends in air pollution, where is it worst, and how is forecasting improving? Released for #CleanAirDay, @wmo-global.bsky.social’s latest Air Quality and Climate Bulletin 2025 has the answers: bit.ly/4gho8Ki

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

Trump wants voters to believe America is ungovernable, and that the only solution is an authoritarian like him taking over. The more chaos, lies, and misinformation he spreads, the more likely people are to tune out completely.  Do not.

🌍 How can we turn research into real impact? Dr. Salamatu J. Fada #NKS for Wales calls for better biodiversity monitoring, improved data use, and policy built around outcomes. She also shares how #CASRI can stay relevant by bridging top-down & bottom-up knowledge. 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyN6...

Since 2022, negotiations have been underway towards a global treaty to end plastic pollution. The 5th session of talks #INC5 began in November 2024 and continues this August in Geneva. Here’s how the process works: www.unep.org/inc-plastic-...

It has taken medical science 200 years to advance humans to the point where people are so healthy and living so long that they can deny that science and medicine is what got us here.

Human activities put pressure on the environment, causing degradation that needs comprehensive solutions.

A legal permanent resident researching cures for Lyme disease has been detained by immigration officials for over a week. He has reportedly been denied access to an attorney and his family has not been given a reason for his detention. We cannot become immune to this cruelty.

I remember when this happened.

Fascism. Call it what it is.

“Superman is too woke!” Literally the first page of the first ever appearance of Superman:

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut. If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Forest-based carbon-offset projects need a buffer to guarantee their climate benefits will last – but they may not have nearly enough in reserve

64 percent.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work. It was a hoax.

STAGGERING: This new study of 133 countries is the first to estimate the impact of all USAID’s work. In 2 decades, it has saved *92M* lives. Current cuts, if not reversed, are forecast to cost up to *14M* lives thru 2030. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie. One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears. They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

NCAS scientists have helped shape a major new report that urges the UK to treat air pollution as a public health issue. Read more: ncas.ac.uk/ncas-researc... @rcphysicians.bsky.social

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

ICE looking more and more like the American Gestpo.

I don’t have to tell you how bad it is. If you’re like me, you approach each day’s news with a knot in your stomach. The question I keep asking myself (and others) is how will this Trumpian daymare end? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/office-hours-how-the-hell-will-this

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.
