Many hands make light work 💪 The South will rise anew 🌸 Be brave like Ukraine 🌻 🇺🇦 Everybody deserves a nice life 🏡 ☕
And Tommy T doesn't even live in Alabama! What a phony! Everybody knows he's Florida's third senator. He lives in a fancy million-dollar mansion somewhere in the Florida panhandle.
Tommy T is legitimately perhaps the dumbest man to ever serve in the U.S. Senate, and while he may have gross fantasies about seceding into a New Confederacy, almost 30% of Alabama residents are non-white. Doubt that they want to be walled into a paranoid white nationalist garrison state.
It’s probably because of the 2-3 Ibs of copper and about 1-2 grams of gold
This is also making me feel very sad because I loved living in Cerrito, but I moved away because real estate seemed so expensive and back then it was actually really cheap.

How I became the villain of El Cerrito’s Nextdoor

I love it! I moved to El Cerrito for the cheap rent when I was a grad student back in the 90s. One thing that always confused me: is the little hill in the photo the "cerrito" and isn't the little hill mostly Albany?

So many reasons to love Portugal.
UPDATE: Portugal has now approved a windfall tax on oil profits!!! Hi @mark-carney.bsky.social - how about 🇨🇦 copies 🇵🇹? It would be a great way to generate some $$ for Building Canada Strong - social programs, climate action, infrastructure, civil defence… (the fossil firms will be fine, promise)

Days before the death of Edwin Jeovanny Lopez Cornejo, ICE officials did not report the death of another man who’d been detained at Delaney Hall — because they had technically “released” him in the middle of a medical emergency, Rep. Rob Menendez (D-NJ) alleged. www.huffpost.com/entry/delane...

Whether you voted for him, his opponent, or didn’t vote at all, Abdul El-Sayed is inviting everyone into the same fight: get money out of politics and finally deliver healthcare that actually covers people. That’s a movement worth showing up for. #BlueWaveIn90Days
Folks from the Women's March have been arrested at the Capitol for protesting ICE. Shout out to the women who are putting their lives and livelihoods on the line to get their message out: ABOLISH ICE.

Mike Rogers wants us divided. But there is so much more that unites us than sets us apart. The power is ours. This land was made for you and me.
he's entertaining, a hot mess he also has an interesting look those hoodies really suit him
I don't know why media keep interviewing Fetterman and giving him platform for his stupidity.
It's true. We propose work that fits the budget we can expect.
I don't think anyone has any idea of how thin the margins are in science. To have funding agencies or private foundations come back on a proposal and ask you to cut 10-20%, or more from a project simply means the work cannot be done. Modular grants have not been adjusted for inflation in >20yrs.
some people don't like having a nice life i guess
Abdul El-Sayed is “quick, magnetic, overflowing with infectious confidence,” our columnist Michelle Goldberg writes. “But he also has a blind spot, one endemic to his movement: an inability to grasp how and why people of good faith might see the world differently.”

What's she going to do with the money she got from AIPAC, et al?
I encourage all of us to have the grace and focus shown in this going up within minutes of the race being called.
One of the most important parts of keeping a democracy functioning as intended is having informed voters!
Bailey: How Darline Graham’s agency botched big Fort Jackson deal
The Fort Jackson story is a cautionary tale that shows just how little we know about Darline Graham’s time at the commission and how little we know about her at all as she runs for the US Senate.

On Thursday, I'm talking with Ramón Mendez Galain, the guy who helped Uruguay decarbonize (see story below). Got questions?
He got an entire country running on clean energy. Can he do it again?
Ramón Méndez Galain helped Uruguay decarbonize its grid in just five years, with 98 percent of its energy coming from renewable sources.

On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂↕️
