Very important to not fall for the feigned helplessness of neoliberals in control of blue state governments:

Fully administering food stamps would cost Washington at most 1% of its entire budget, and I have to believe it’d be even less for New York, California, Illinois, et al.

Many important weather and climate data streams have gone silent as the U.S. government shutdown continues on.

As just one example, NOAA’s Global Monitoring Laboratory did not release its regular monthly update for greenhouse gases, such as for carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide.

A deluge of authenticity...

Beauty so stunning it will leave you breathless...

In These Times, We Need Consciousness Raising — and Radical Unlearning We must unlearn fear, individualism, and the inability to act in order to confront the threats of this moment.

Undoing the deeply internalized individualism that lives in most of us who grow up in capitalism is a massive undertaking of unlearning.

Today I'm calling on @governorferguson.bsky.social to declare a state of emergency: the expiration of SNAP benefits for nearly one million Washingtonians will be a disaster for the health of many, and for the economic health of the state. We must join other state governments and act swiftly.

Defaulting to surgical masks in health care settings in 2025 is one of the most dissapointing examples of reluctance to change despite overwhelming evidence.

Even defaulting to KN95 style would significantly increase protection of the most vulnerable.

Infuriating inertia in the HC industry.

Study suggests most Americans would be healthier without daylight saving time According to a new analysis by Stanford Medicine scientists, changing clocks twice a year disrupts circadian rhythms, leading to higher rates of stroke and obesity.
