Those who grow up in cities might not grasp the intensity of the disappearance of our pollinators. We who live on the land feel it every single day — in quieter fields, fewer buzzing insects, and harvests that feel more fragile. Our food systems are at a critical juncture.
40 Trillion...which had been predicted to be reached in fiscal year 2028. So much for the GOP being fiscally responsible. 🙄 This is what happens when they take control of the government; a Democratic President has to come in and clean up the economy they destroyed.
Just posting this because, as of yesterday, the US national debt surpassed $40 trillion for the first time. The GOP: the party of fiscal responsibility. 🥴
We have to have an easier way to pull the President when he is clearly harming the US.

In 1971, Daniel Ellsberg leaked The Pentagon Papers exposing the lies told to the public about the disastrous Viet Nam war, forever becoming a hero in history. Now... someone PLEASE leak #TheEPSTEINFiles & end the biggest coverup scandal of all-time! 🙏
I want to share with you a wonderful update that I hope helps convince people to take a chance on a shy cat. Mama Porsche was adopted a few months ago after being in our rescue for a whole year. Her adopter didn’t mind that she was shy & touch averse, & promised to love her however she was. Well…
This is a very impressive documentary about the massive waste of ICE flights, produced by a local news team from Seattle. Sucks that more people haven't seen it.

Every single second, the world hands $6,000 to the fossil fuel industry in subsidies. That’s $5 TRILLION every year. Renewables? Barely a fraction of that. We are literally paying to cook our own planet. When does this madness stop? 🌍💸 #ClimateCrisis #FossilFuels
Whoa. Sherrod Brown’s new ad is devastating for Jon Husted. Sarah Bloom Anderson trusted Husted when he looked her in the eye and promised he wouldn’t cut Medicaid, the program that saves her daughter. One week later, Husted voted to cut Medicaid.

A professor writes: (Jason Stanley) The problem is that journalists failed to do basic journalism. Not a single reporter seems to have checked’ Jason Arday’s citations. The ‘quantifiable metrics’ of his work. Prof Stanley did: ‘Arday is easily comparable to the leading scholars in the field’
Just saw MAGA freak Jake Lang in a church. Is your place of worship a place of evil?
My sister is a licensed clinical social worker. She got laid off today along with 75% of her company’s people because of cuts to Medicaid. The pain is just starting. We’re only at the beginning.
The Haslams have more than $16 billion, and for some reason they are currently trying to take $600 million of Ohio taxpayer dollars to construct a new stadium for the private NFL team they own, while they use their public position (and the team’s employees) to promote extremely partisan politics
If you needed another reason to hate the Browns other than possibly starting an alleged sexual predator at QB, their owners are hosting Vivek Ramaswamy for a fundraiser. I hope they lose every game.
the left was blamed for stagflation in the 70s & has been less trusted on the economy ever since the right has been catastrophically wrong about climate change, financial deregulation, multiple wars, & immigration control & it's always forgotten by the next election
