Today while facilitating a bird walk, I was describing how sometimes songbirds create a bunch of noise to alert each other about the presence of a predator like an owl and then used that exact method to find an owl. They thought I was a wizard fr

This story deserves far more attention. In 2024, Taylor Frazier McCollum and her daughter were evicted from their home. Two years later, she helped stop a $5 billion data center in her community. A vital testament to the power of organizing, and how resistance so often comes from below, not above.
An unexpected activist emerged to help block a $5 billion data center in Maryland
Thousands across the U.S. have gotten involved to oppose data centers. One is a Maryland woman who'd been evicted after a pay cut and became a leader of a community effort that blocked a vast project.

I said this in a comment and will lift this up here. People are also conflating his AFFECT with his politics. To some people, he FEELS like what they imagine a socialist would be. His style reads to some that way. Someone should write something about that.
Why fight for a country abroad that brutalises and terrorises you at home? The Black Panthers weren't built on hate. They were built on refusing to keep paying (with Black lives, labour, and blood) for a freedom that never came. All Power To The People. All Power to Black People Everywhere!
"We don't hate nobody because of their colour. We hate oppression." Bobby Seale, KPIX, April 1968. Seale co-founded the Black Panther Party with Huey P. Newton in Oakland in October 1966. Here he lays out the history: about 186,000 Black men fought for the Union in the Civil War.
Every fucking time! Almost like we should stop studying this and actually implement it.
Conor Curtis@conorcurtis.bsky.social · 2d ago“This study confirms growing evidence that we and others have long presented: there is no evidence that Basic Income reduces economic and labour market activity,” he told CNN. “On the contrary, it gives workers the economic security to take good risks and avoid bad ones in their working lives.”
Dems taking power in the states should seriously consider this because it breaks Republican power but also because people will like it! Buying a car sucks. Getting fleeced sucks. You want affordability? Joyfully pick a fight with every scam industry and be seen doing it

My son asked me what a gold digger was this morning. He heard his dad call some woman one. Chat - my ex husband has (and never has had) any gold to dig! We had to talk about having enough resources for that to be a legitimate concern 😂
Sightly off topic but i distinctly remember black americans saying that black caribbeans are not apart of reparations discussion 👇🏽BITCH ASS MFS READ THE SHIT AGAIN. USA TRANSATLANTIC SLAVERY WAS A INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR. Reparations for ALLLLLLLLL BLACK PEOPLE!
Caitlin G. DeAngelis@caitlindeangelis.bsky.social · last yr.This is a plea to Massachusetts residents, particularly Cambridge residents and Harvard grads. I've spend the last 3 years looking at old maps of western Jamaica while researching the history of absentee sugar planters who lived in Massachusetts while enslaving thousands of people in Jamaica.
Put my hair up in a ponytail and two locs fell out onto my face, now I look like Josh Johnson
This is the most basic Black/Brown family dynamic there is. You can have cousins who aren't your cousins but are children of your parent's friends, aunts and uncles who are your actually your older cousins, siblings who are your cousins cuz y'all were raised together. It's a very flexible system.

DEI is the new boogeyman for mediocre and untalented people who are unhappy with their position in life so they need to blame it on us.
