Starting to see comments like, "If Dems don't do [insert pet issue here], they can f__k off!" For goodness take, try to take a broader perspective. Dems have never in all my life done everything I wanted them to do, but they've always been the superior alternative to Repubs. Vote like an adult.

#ResistanceRoots Margaret “Mardy” Murie was born on this day in 1902 in Seattle. Known as the Grandmother of the Conservation Movement, she dedicated her life to protecting America’s wilderness, playing a key role in passing landmark environmental laws and establishing protected areas in Alaska. /1

Mardy Murie at her home near the Grand Tetons, 1953. Murie’s journey to becoming a conservation icon began in the gold rush settlements of frontier Alaska. Her path was shaped by a childhood on the edge of the wilderness and a chance meeting with a young field biologist. By trading a comfortable life with running water for a tent on the tundra, she transformed into a formidable naturalist and a leading voice for conservation legislation. Her legacy is physically stamped onto the U.S. map: millions of acres of protected wilderness that remain untamed because she chose to speak up for them.

“A single-payer universal health care system could cover every American, save more than 100,000 lives a year, and still cost $1 trillion less than the system it would replace, according to a new preprint study led by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health.” ysph.yale.edu/news-article...

THE BULLDOZERS ARE STILL MOVING INSIDE BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK. DHS and CBP leadership want the American people to believe what they're seeing is simply "surveying and planning." They are lying 🤥

Do NOT post a recipe and say it takes 10 minutes and then start adding MULTIPLE pre-chopped vegetables I swear to god. "Add your chopped onion" WHEN DID I CHOP THAT? BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T ACCOUNT FOR THE CHOPPING TIME WHEN YOU SAID IT TOOK 10 MINUTES DID YOU?

“Woke 1 went too far!” The phrase “stay woke” comes from the movement against police murder of black people 12 years ago and in that time not a single police department was actually defunded nor abolished so idk what the fuck anyone is talking about

Over the last few years, American tech oligarchs have become the greatest argument against their own existence. The sheer scale of their erratic behavior and political interference proves that extreme wealth concentration is a structural threat to society

This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.

MASSIE: “Iran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader… 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 🇺🇸 families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.”

The boycott of OpenAI(ChatGPT) has now surpassed 4 million. We’re also seeing many small businesses (and even some mid-sized companies) cancel their subscriptions. One of the most amazing things over the past year has been watching consumers remind big corporations just how much power they have.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion. That's roughly $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. People do not want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

This is why red states have higher voter apathy. Always shenanigans. I feel bad for these folks just trying to exercise their constitutional right to vote and having to deal with this mess. Info in 🧵

my most common self criticism when writing, especially after reading really good prose, is God i am not smart enough to be doing this. but you can't listen to that. you have to keep writing your dumbass little story. you have to

The global reproductive rights organization Ipas will be receiving "multi millions" from TED's Audacious Project. This is the first time the project has funded an organization that works specifically in abortion access and care since the initiative was developed in 2018.

TED makes multi-million-dollar investment to boost safe abortion in 10 countries

This is the first time TED’s Audacious Project has invested in an organization specifically focused on abortion access and care.

It’s so wild that one of the reasons BlueSky is dissed so much is because there are smart people here who write and read books and then they have the gall to talk about what they know from writing and reading books. How dare you.

when people point back at Reconstruction to explain where we are as a country (a good impulse) its often to claim that Reconstruction completely failed I'd say it's more like: Reconstruction was partial and compromised, which kept the Civil War going as a domestic political battle vs a won war

You can encourage people to become more civically involved without downplaying the importance of voting. Voting is just one part of it... but it is an important part. So is being active in your community and speaking up for the causes that you believe in. Both matter greatly.

They always have trillions of dollars for illegal wars in the Mideast, but SCOFF in your face and clutch their pearls when you ask for universal healthcare. You are all being played.
