Got goosebumps!!! Go Avs!

At this juncture I’d like to point out:
* we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing
* there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world
* a united approach could stop the climate crisis
But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

“We've arranged a society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science and technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces.”

Same! I LOVED these books when I was a kid. My copies don’t even have covers anymore, and Dragonsong is in two pieces!!!

Who Speaks for Earth?

Removing a black 4-star general at Secretary of Defense and replacing him with a white talk-show is the perfect example why DEI is essential. It's not about hiring unqualified minorities, it’s about foiling the majority's habit of hooking up under qualified mediocrities of their own caste.

Hope 🙏🏼

➡️Harvard & over 150 universities took a stand and pushed back
➡️Sarah Palin lost her case
➡️Marriott’s CEO spoke up & was rewarded by his employees
➡️Hegseth continues to flail
➡️Tesla stock and earnings tanked
➡️5m Americans loudly protested at #HandsOff rallies

We’ve got this! More coming.

I think the same thing every time I see him.

Sending love back! You are not alone. I’ll have a cry with you.😢🥰

This is the most ridiculous statement from the White House!

Activate climate’s ‘silent majority’ to supercharge action, experts say Making concerned people aware their views are far from alone could unlock the change so urgently needed

The majority of people —56% in the US!—are worried about climate change, but not activated.

Why not? Most feel helpless, hopeless, and don't know what to do. So more fear won't activate them. Rather, knowing what to do—and being invited to do it—will.

Where to start? With a conversation today. 🧵

“We are, each of us, largely responsible for what gets put into our brains, for what, as adults, we wind up caring for and knowing about. No longer at the mercy of the reptile brain, we can change ourselves.”

My PhD student's NSF grant was terminated today. Her dissertation investigates why air pollution monitoring, metrics, and regulations don't properly capture the harms experienced by marginalized communities--esp in the most polluted Detroit neighborhoods. She and I are happy to talk with press etc.

Two NYT headlines stating the WH wants to promote more childbearing and the EPA is ending testing for chemicals that hurt children.

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

Denver protest today!!!

Powerful 40-second clip by Maya Angelou about why people fear " #woke"

IMO, she's 💯🎯

77 million people voted for deregulation (Trump). Did they know they were also voting for pollution, cancer, and climate chaos loved ones and future generations? We can now be poisoned on purpose—without a check.

Forgive the rant, but what the hell is this Administration doing? 

Not gonna be easy to undo the damage, folks. But I’ve got some ideas on where to start.

State tells employees to report on one another for ‘anti-Christian bias’ “It’s very ‘Handmaid’s Tale’-esque,” one official said.

“The Trump administration has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying ‘anti-Christian bias’ as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new order on supporting employees of Christian faith.”

Trump and Musk are eliminating 90% of Social Security’s regional staff—and, at the same time, will now only post public updates from Social Security on a platform owned by Musk, where more than 90% of seniors won’t see them. Corrupt, cruel, and wrong.

This exact same thing happened in our school district in Colorado last night, and we overwhelmed the bastards with 🏳️‍⚧️❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️!!!

The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named DreamLeaf with the handle @DreamLeaf5 , accompanied by sunflower and watermelon emojis. The post features a cartoon-style illustration on a light blue background. On the left, there is a figure composed of various symbols and items associated with conservative or right-wing ideologies, including a red "Make America Great Again" hat, a Fox News logo, an OAN logo, a Confederate flag, a Tesla logo, a QAnon symbol, a Russian flag, and a coffee mug with a conservative slogan. This figure is speaking in a speech bubble that says, "they brainwashed you." On the right, there is a simple black silhouette of a person with a heart on their chest displaying a rainbow flag, symbolizing support for the LGBTQ+ community. This figure responds with a speech bubble that says, "really?"

It’s the woke mind virus!

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants.

So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House.

The hypocrisy is outrageous.

Thank you! I needed this! Here is Wally saying thank you, too. He’s ready for bed.😊

COAL IS THE DIRTIEST and most harmful source of power.
TRUMP and ZELDIN also plan to remove controls that keep dangerous mercury out of our air, water, and food.
COAL cannot compete economically with renewable energy and natural gas.
