Joy doesn't wait for permission or perfect timing. It doesn't postpone itself until every wound has healed, until the chaos settles, until the ledger of life balances itself. Instead, joy emerges like wildflowers through concrete β€” in the spaces we least expect it.

1,173 people were shot dead by "law enforcement" in the USA last year.

In the UK, it was 2.

The US population is 6x that of the UK, so go ahead and multiply the second figure by 6.

Then explain to me why this massively disproportionate rate of killing is so.

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University.

(And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.)

I was told today would be full of violence from the left and that everyone β€œhated America.”

I saw peaceful patriots who love America and hate racist fascist rapist President Epstein.

"My children are dead!"

A Palestinian prisoner released today was expecting to embrace his family, only to find out they had been killed weeks ago in Israel's genocidal war on Gaza.

Momentum is growing for a Youth Climate Corps, a bold new public program to put young people to work protecting our communities & tackling the climate crisis.

It's built for this moment.

Tell Carney: it’s time to fund a Youth Climate Corps!

Will your next EV have a solid-state battery β€” and improved performance? Superionic materials have spawned hope for a new generation of power packs for electric cars, with a promise of greater range, faster charges and more safety. But scaling up won’t be easy.

Pope Leo rebukes climate skeptics after Trump calls warming a β€˜con job’ The Illinois native’s comments come a week after the U.S. president derided the fight against climate change.

Pope Leo XIV denounced people who deny climate change today, arguing that they are contributing to the destruction of God's creation.

🧡 Who's the most informed about American politics? Very lefty seculars.

My new FREE study @sfjournal.bsky.social finds atheists/agnostics, especially if they are politically sorted, score higher on knowledge of basic civics & current politics than other groups. 1/ academic.oup.com/sf/advance-a...
