Hey, Congress? Think before you confirm.

No air conditioning for Texas prisoners in a hot state.

Heat is killing Texas prisoners, and state leaders won't shell out for AC

The system for choosing who gets a "cool bed" is arbitrary, inadequate, and ineffective,” a judge ruled.

Six congressmen bought between $83,000 to $245,000 in SpaceX stock just before its IPO: -Jared Moskowitz -Gil Cisneros -Dan Meuser -John McGuire -William Timmons -John James Five serve on committees whose work impacts SpaceX's business. We must ban members of Congress from trading stock.

📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.

This guy really is a bottomless pit of depravity. The damage he is inflicting on a daily basis on every aspect of life - human and beyond - is just so painful. Beyond words as to how soulless an individual can be - and how broken the American political & social system is that enables him to do this

Whoever made this: Thank you.

I have an acquaintance who was a Covid denier - along with her husband. Both elderly, both got Covid. She spent days on a gurney in the hall because ICU was full and so were all of the other beds. She only got a bed in ICU when her husband died and freed up a spot for her.

We are calling on Senator Ashley Moody to release the grand jury report into the $10 million in taxpayer funds diverted to Republican bank accounts from the Hope Florida scandal. The corruption has to stop and Floridians deserve to know where their money went

Unelected Senator Ashley Moody still owes Floridians answers.

The president is a rapist and a pedophile who ran teen beauty pageants and was best friends with Epstein and he’s fine with men beating their wives and he lost a war and raised all your prices and stole billions of dollars but 34% of Americans still think he’s peachy keen because they’re racist.

We can not carry on with the people making decisions about our health not understanding science. It’s too damn dangerous. act.link/gi-87jim youtu.be/DI1uiUnmnYE

The world has witnessed thousands upon thousands of Israeli atrocities/war crimes. There is no going back for Israel. Whatever Israel was before, it is now finished.

For all of my friends who need a damn good cry, here you go. This cannot continue.

Still can’t over the fact that the president of the United States just told an entire state to pound sand after getting cyberattacked by a foreign adversary because they didn’t vote for him and it was treated like a Tuesday lol

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Israel burning olive groves of Yaroun in South Lebanon @sarahabdallah.bsky.social

Trump is spending… -$95M for “D.C. Beautification,” including $5M to paint bronze horses gold -At least $300M to construct his ballroom -Nearly $15M to repaint the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool Meanwhile, millions of Americans can’t afford groceries, gas, or healthcare. Priorities.

It's like oppositional defiance became a political party.

Friends ask me why I cut everything into small pieces before putting them in the garbage, including (for example) the plastic rings on the tops of baby wipes and all non-recyclable plastics that could snag an animal in any possible way. This is why.

Man finds a young seal tangled in a vegetable sack and frees it before the plastic could turn deadly.

Today's cartoon by Dennis Goris:

What the US government is doing to Dr. Fauci is the embodiment of what they are doing to scientific infrastructure overall.

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

Cyber attacks- Minnesota 😡👇🏼
