I think everybody deserves to see this! Fireflies' populations are declining due to ligh pollution, habitat loss, pesticides and climate change! Imagine a world where such picture isn't possible... 🧪🌍 #nature #fireflies #conservation #science #ecology

Thread. 😔💔😡

Names of the white masked DC marchers & auditioning ICE wannabes.

For most of us, seeing the Klan 2.0, a.k.a. Patriot Front, march through Washington, D.C., unchallenged by authorities overshadowed any celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. My ancestors lived through this. And no one today can say with a straight face that racism is behind us.

Shocking shocking shocking read. #DHS lies 2justify the unjustifiable in “CYA” (Cover Your Ass) reports. Agents Donahue & Parsons used force (tripped, tackled, kneed) & did not report it- against handcuffed father/sole provider/caretaker of 7 yr old severely disabled son, & locked him up for weeks.

Feels like a good time to share this again.

America's 250th Anniversary

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome;

Thinking of u, @valstouffer.bsky.social Happy #July4th!

Infinite growth on a finite planet is a physical impossibility.

If companies can't run data centres without polluting our air and water, pushing up energy bills, abusing workers' rights, harming local communities or wrecking the climate – then they shouldn't be allowed to run them A safe climate and healthy environment are necessities – tech bro profits aren't

With vaccinated generations now reaching adulthood, this study provides the strongest national evidence to date that the vaccine is saving lives. Two decades’ worth of research has shown that vaccinations prevented infections, precancerous changes and the disease itself.

No lies detected.

The NYT just reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick helped cut a $1.6B federal mining deal in Kazakhstan — and President Trump's sons took an undisclosed stake six days before it was signed. And it isn't just one deal. #AntiCorruption #FollowTheMoney

Morons prefer #svasticars.

An orange peel that fucks up everything by attracting scum, huh? Sounds familiar somehow

holy shit bsky has a water sealant expert that predicted the reflecting pool failure mode perfectly

Musk is a dangerous parasite.

Oh dear thr fireworks have started. My dog is not happy. 😩

To end on a positive note, a case in point of doing it right. The *actually truly obviously giving a shit* part is what matters here, I'm saying. The shit would not have got done without that. And this is not "good comms." It's the same clarity I'm talking about with Mamdani.

Amazing! "The website features Climate.gov's 15-year collection of climate news and stories, expert blogs, visual status reports on key climate indicators, maps and data pathways, climate literacy resources, classroom materials, and restored access to the Fifth National Climate Assessment."

It’s not just mental health. My VA dental appointment took over a year to schedule. And my MRI was done incorrectly and had to be re-done, postponing my surgery for a year. Stop. Voting. For. Republicans.

During a hearing with Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin on Capitol Hill this week, US Rep. Lauren Underwood brought up our recent report with Physicians for Human Rights on rising deaths in ICE detention centers. Watch below, and read the report here: https://bit.ly/4oNOlo4

At some point a lower court is just going to have to say when analyzing a legal challenge “the Supreme Court has reestablished White Supremacy as its governing constitutional principle”, right? That’s the unifying thread tying it all together.

"Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind." #Booksky

America needs a female president. America needs female Senators and Congresswomen. America needs female governors and mayors. The men can't get shit done.

Iran is basically doing to Trump what he did to universities that gave into him. Iran can now use the Strait of Hormuz as a hostage forever to get anything they want from him

This is heartbreaking.

A deadly strain of bird flu is sweeping through remote islands between Australia and Antarctica, killing thousands of seal pups and hundreds of penguins, researchers say. https://cnn.it/43MX8wL

"Scientists, using data from last October and this January, estimate about 13,000 baby seals from a group of 17,000 on Heard Island were killed by the H5N1 strain of bird flu since last August, more than 75% of the entire group. They also found higher than expected deaths in penguin populations."

We fall for the wrong leaders. Starting in Kindergarten. We prefer loud/reckless/stupid over quiet/social/intelligent. Power/cruelty are fetishised when balancing of needs and empathy are framed as weak and… female. Fascists fight science, empathy and female attributes. They are: pure evil.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Ok, these are the 2 greatest things I’ve ever heard. Well, it feels like that at this moment. #EarthPrize #CovidBlocker

It is now illegal to post this image with the caption “become ungovernable.”

“Trump officials remember the public outrage that ensued after they split up kids & parents at the border in 2017. Now they’re splitting them up in the interior & holding press conferences about saving missing children to justify it. They want to make their activities more palatable to the public.”

Wow. Stunning. please watch and share. How Leonard Leo’s DC Team Opus Dei learned from Franco Spain. youtube.com/shorts/hhmfy...

What happened to the House Epstein Investigation Committee reading the names of the pedophiles on the House floor? That was promised months ago and nothing.

Today, I toured the Epstein Reading Room with many of the courageous survivors who are lifting up the horrors of Epstein’s trafficking ring and fighting for accountability. If you’re in DC, you can visit this exhibit until Sunday. Reserve a time today: trumpsonian.us/rr

All in one.
