El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

The first step is the most important step.

Every wonder why a super processed food product is cheaper per unit than fresh fruit and veggies in many stores? Have you also noticed the amount of grossly unhealthy people are around? Coincidence? I used to be one of the grossly unhealthy people. It is a long journey, not a quick fix.

From Anu Garg and A Word A Day: "A cumberworld is a useless person, literally someone who encumbers the world." Can we put this word to use?

The War on Cars@thewaroncars.bsky.social · 2d ago

Name a problem facing the world right now and you'll find a car parked at the bottom of it. The only way out is reliable and safe alternatives to driving.

Everybody wants clean water. Everybody wants clean air. Most everybody wants darkness and quiet at night. Most everybody wants food that isn't laden with chemicals. But a neighbor installed a Flock camera because they are paranoid.

The Liberal BoJack@thelibbojack.bsky.social · 2d ago

NO ONE wants Data Centers. NO ONE wants their cars tracking your every movements. NO ONE wants Flock camera's. So who the fuck is installing them? And why are we just taking it???

The IQ of a potatoe.

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 3d ago

Perimeters, not parameters. An excursion, not an incursion. Six genders, not cisgender. Insane asylums, not asylum. Transgender mice, not transgenic mice. The IQ of a potato.

If I poison you and you die, I go to prison (assuming arrested, tried and convicted). If I expose you to pesticides and you get cancer and die, your fault.

If I tell a blind man that it's safe to cross the street when I can see a bus is coming & he is killed, I will be arrested, & rightfully so. If I tell an ignorant man not to get vaccinated because vaccines are deadly, & they die of a preventable disease, I'm not arrested. What's the distinction?

Anne Frank wasn’t beat or shot to death. She died of typhus due to unhygienic conditions in her concentration camp. ICE isn’t just killing the people it shoots. A detention center is just a death camp by a different name. And they’re quietly murdering everyday. Post Here: interactink.vercel.app

Shifting baseline syndrome lays bare all the ways past generations failed future ones. It also reminds us that we can shift baselines in another direction.

🚨 After 40 years of research, Brazilian scientist Dr. Mariangela Hungria wins the World Food Prize for pioneering a $2 nitrogen-fixing bacteria treatment that replaces costly fertilizers, saves farmers $25 billion annually, and cuts 230 million tons of CO₂ emissions.

It should, but we all know the press won't actually, you know, PRESS him on this.

Bernie Sanders once again proving one can be over 80 years old and still have a functioning brain.

Bernie Sanders: "People are sick and tired of the Democratic establishment and the Republican establishment ... the American people are tired of a rigged economy, a corrupt campaign finance system. They want real change. They don't want Rahm Emanuel and the establishment maintaining the status quo."

open.substack.com/pub/deanblun... This is the con; Trump keeps announcing punishments for Canada that are actually invoices for Americans. He’s taken U.S. consumers hostage and mailed Canada the ransom note. Canadians see it. Increasingly, American farmers, builders, and autoworkers see it too.

🇨🇦 RETALIATION NATION: Canada Is 26 Days From Detonating a $40 Billion Export Tax Inside Trump's Own Base

Corn Belt fertilizer bills. Midwest gas pumps. Right before midterms. He picked this fight with the one country that can end it.

Canada lives rent free in Trump's feeble brain, it's incredible the flurry of posts he continues to make daily attacking us. It speaks to envy, jealously, a popularity he can't attain, it confirms that we do actually really, really matter to him. A sad little man desperate for validation. #cdnpoli

The difference between Canada and America….🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Who is this crazy Ron Johnson person and why does he think Canada or Mexico would want to "butcher" 50,000 Americans (also being Americans, have to say)?

Sen. Ron Johnson: "I can only imagine what America would do if Canada or Mexico came across the border and butchered 50,000 Americans. We'd wipe out those nations."

A study found that there was a dramatic spike in cancer diagnoses when Americans hit age 65. Why? Because they finally qualified for Medicare and could afford to see a doctor. People should be able to go to a doctor when they need to, not when they age into coverage. It’s time for Medicare for All.
