Scientific Shot of a Peacock mantis shrimp eyes which are the most advanced in the animal world. Photo by Daniel Sasse.

the mantis shrimp has 16 types of color receptors.

humans have 3.

we see roughly 10 million colors and think that's impressive.

the mantis shrimp is sitting there processing a visual reality so hyperchromatic that scientists genuinely aren't sure what it's like to be one.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...

"How will you pay for it?"

The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...

"How much do you need?"

It doesn't have to be this way.

Flavor Fav is more of a patriot than every single member of the men's USA hockey team.

I said it.

Two women arrested for kissing in Uganda after neighbors reported them - LGBTQ Nation One activist says they could get life in prison under the nation's repressive anti-homosexuality law.

This kind of repression is not a traditional part of African culture. It has been pushed on the continent aggressively by American evangeicals.

Democracy is dying in America.

ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous.

We need real leaders - not career politicians.

He said “everything’s so political these days” in response to backlash from the Trump call. Spoken like a man who’s never others call his rights into question.

the word artist is surrounded by red and blue pieces of glass ALT: the word artist is surrounded by red and blue pieces of glass

This is simultaneously the least shocking and most horrifying news I've read today.

We all KNEW that ICE wasn't teaching their recruits properly.

We all KNEW they were violating the Constitution on the daily.

But now we KNOW that it's not "bad apples," it's POLICY.

“Honest, compassionate, generous, & kind” are not words I would use to describe a billionaire polluting the air with a private jet who called any criticism of her album “bots” and used an AI-PR firm to do it. Her new single had valid racism claims and she ignored it and then made it the single.

Counterpoint: No.

ICE doesn’t need reform. Abolition and prosecution is the bare minimum.

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

On privilege:

If your rights were a gift of birth and not a court ruling,you (at the very least) owe the world a debt of understanding.

Privilege is the absence of a struggle

We can let our privileges fuel our awareness,and let the struggle of others grow our empathy

We can make the world better.
For everyone🖤

I’ve lost count of how many US citizens ICE has shot.

And the media still acts like it’s only two.

How a Planned Disney World Vacation Turned Into Four Months in Immigration Detention A 9-year-old shares her story of being held at the nation’s only operating detention center for immigrant families in Dilley, Texas.

She lives with her grandmother in Colombia and travels frequently to the U.S. to visit her mother. Her visa made them targets for ICE.

A trip to Disneyland ended with a 9-year-old, who had broken no laws, detained at Dilley, Texas.

wtf did Mamdani have anything to do with it? He wasn’t in office when Trump was running. That was Eric Adams, who’s insane, not an actual Dem, and capitulated to 45 IMMEDIATELY.

I agree good candidates are needed. It’s wild to me we’re already being told “you BETTER vote for Newsom” 3 years in advance. Literally telling them now don’t run him and they’re mad.

Pretty sure I recently read that the National Trust for Historic Preservation sued him for the destruction he already caused and to prevent further construction. Hopefully the lawsuit is successful.

“I reject the lie that deporting my neighbor is how I win better pay and working conditions. We’re fighting for a country where families stay together without living in terror, so we’re ALL better off!”
