A lot of what’s happening doesn’t seem to be spreading anymore by mainstream media. A tree that stood for an estimated 150–250 years was destroyed today to make way for Trump’s border wall.

I hope all the mommas (dads too) raising boys, have a conversation about this with them. What a disgrace!
Congratulations to Mellody & George on the opening of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art! 18 years in the making, it is 5-stories high, filled with some of the greatest artwork, props & memorabilia you'll ever see. An instant Los Angeles LANDMARK Thanks (again), George!!!
All this time since and yet I still haven't been able to visit this museum. .. maybe I'll never have the heart to do so.
Hillary Rodham Clinton@hillaryclinton.bsky.social · last mo.A third of today's Americans are too young to have any memory of 9/11. For them, the 9/11 Memorial is making a new digital learning experience available starting tomorrow. We said we'd never forget—and part of that charge is making sure the next generation remembers too. 911memorial.org/DLE
Before Europeans arrived, these were some of the names for The Great Lakes: Superior: gichi-gami (great sea) Erie: erielhonan (long tail) Michigan: michigami (long body of water) Ontario: Ontarí'io\kanadario (great lake\beautiful water) Huron: karegnondi (fresh water sea)
Apparently, it IS Possible to be loved by everyone! You will be missed, Dolly.
☢️Dangerously Radioactive M. O’Lybdenum☢️@perchorin.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe sports radio guys on my drive home were only talking about Dolly Parton. These are guys that will spend three hours discussing who should be the third right guard on the Washington Commanders to avoid talking about anything besides sports, and yet…
mRNA is the medical advancement that continues to improve lives.
Liz Highleyman@lizhighleyman.bsky.social · 2mo agoMy take on the melanoma mRNA vaccine. I often like to give news like this a day to stew before writing it up. Moderna & Merck didn't provide details for the Phase 3 read-out, but I include links to my prior reports on the promising Phase 2 data. www.cancerhealth.com/article/cust...
"In a transactional world, the antidote to "might is right" is not idealism. It is not moralizing. It is principled pragmatism. It is launching coalitions of the willing around enlightened self-interest that can advance peace and security. Full video in comments ⤵️
Amazing what happens when you're not in a cult and you criticize your own party.
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe Democratic Party’s mega-donor class is horrified by the rising tide of progressive populism. Too bad. It's time they recognize the real choice is between democracy and tyranny, between an economy that works for all or one that works for a small sliver at the top.
If the president votes by mail, then EVERY CITIZEN should be able to vote by mail.
🙏🏻 Stay safe, Colombia. We are getting reports from friends/family of extensive property damages.

Which is why I thought the Golden Glove shouldve been for Argentina's keeper. That dude worked HARD and with a fractured finger? Is that true?! Man! Respect!! #Worldcup ❤️Felicitaciones, España!! 🇪🇸⚽❤️
Marc Settle@marcsettle.bsky.social · 3mo agoQuite the stat. Not even Spurs are as passive as Argentina.
Beautiful day for the San Clemente Ocean Festival! Wonderful 5K to start the day!
Ha! The most annoying part of the sport. They should get more cards for diving.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.
To replace it with what exactly?? 😠👎🏻
Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · 4mo agoWhat the heck is going on here? ABC7 is my local station. It isn’t a partisan network, it’s where millions of Angelenos get local news and alerts. So why is the FCC putting its broadcast license under an unusually early review years before it was due? @agomezfcc.bsky.social
History will reveal the truth. It will also record the lies & names of the LIARS.💯‼️💯
This is the scariest scenario of the 'future' for me.
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 4mo agoThis blew my mind. Some of the largest data centers can require up to 5 million gallons of water per day, equivalent to the water use of 50,000 people. Why are we selling out the survival of our planet to enrich a handful of Big Tech CEOs?
Can't wait to visit and meet all of you! What an honor to represent decent people.
Barack Obama@barackobama.bsky.social · 4mo agoIt was great meeting with the talented folks who’ll be working at the Obama Presidential Center. We're excited to welcome everybody here soon!
Oh what a big deal it was to pay 20k per student for loan repayment... But Insurrectionist repayment at 15 million is 'OK'. Yeah sure. In what world??
Distill Social@distillsocial.bsky.social · 5mo agoTrump's $1.7 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" may have stalled in Washington, but that hasn't stopped a Michigan man from seeking reparations. Genesee county resident, Isaac Thomas, filed a claim for over $15 million in damages citing "political persecution" and "political targeting".
