Bernie Sanders speaking truth to power: the broligarch (e.g., Musk, Bezos, Gates, Thiel, Ellison, etc) is investing billions in AI. Altruism? Nope! Watch this 15 minute video about implications of AI — this needs to be a national/global discussion AND regulated.

OK folks, here's the deal. Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads and has ignored asks to stop. It's time to tell them we won't stream fascism - by cancelling our subscriptions. Here's how to get started: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

Canceled my Spotify subscription —always felt queasy about it! Super easy to switch to artist-owned Tidal streaming service using Tune My Music to transfer playlists etc. Feeling better already💚

Thanks for posting this article about alternatives to Spotify.

The actual President of the United States posts this? Are there any adults in the WH anywhere?

Goodbye petrostates, hello ‘electrostates’: how the clean energy shift is reshaping the world order The global shift toward renewable energy is challenging old geopolitical power structures. So where does Australia stand?

As Trump doubles down on a violent, fossil fuelled vision of US hegemony, China dominates all of the industries that underpin the renewables revolution, reshaping global politics. theconversation.com/goodbye-petr...

This is outrageous and unacceptable!

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

Call your senators. Some of them are not happy about selling off our national parks.

Today in history, 1969: The heavily polluted Cuyahoga River catches fire due to trapped debris and oil slicks, likely ignited by a passing train. It was not unusual, extinguished quickly and caused little damage, but it became a symbol for the Clean Water movement. /1

BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR TURTLES CROSSING THE ROAD AND REMEMBER TO "GIVE TURTLES A BRAKE."

Thousands of turtles are killed each year in New York when struck by vehicles while migrating to nesting areas.

Save penguins 🐧 = save Antarctica 🤍🧊! Don’t impose tariffs on them (I.e. Heard and Mc Donald Islands)!

OMG! The Bond Vigilantes! They’re just scapegoats. Here’s the real cause of our growing national debt.

Under Eisenhower, super-rich had <91% tax rate. Since Reagan, super-rich’ taxes plummeted. Instead of financing US government w/taxes, super-rich lend it money (bonds, 70% held by mostly wealthy Americans). Our taxes pay interest on national debt to super-rich! TTR

As a westerner, I fell in love 😍 with the tulip tree when I visited eastern forests in Fall 2022. And now to learn these trees start producing giant, cucumber-scented flowers in the spring when they’re 15-20 years old, I am swooning 🤩 💚!

We SHARE resources with other nations to fight wildfires. With overlapping fire weather seasons, we risk straining already limited resources to fight fires on our respective continents 🌎🔥🌏

Live, act, & vote for environmental protections — as if you & your children’s lives depend upon it bc they do💚

Clear-cutting trees, drilling for oil and gas, mining, and reckless development destroy habitats and harm species Habitat destruction is the #1 cause of species extinction.

The Trump administration is proposing to rescind a decades-old rule that defines “harm” to include endangered species’ habitat modification. This defies a U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding the rule.

The Trump Administration Is Trying to Put Our Federal Forests Up for Sale If the Trump administration breaks the law to hold timber sales, we will see them in court.

The Trump administration is using wildfires as a pretext for fast-tracking logging proposals on up to 59% of U.S. Forest Service lands, including Old growth and mature trees.

Women have been excluded in medical studies for years. This study cancellation affects us all — you may be a woman, or know, like, and even love one ❤️! Can the principal investigators sue on the basis of historical exclusion of women subjects to have the study reinstated?

Scientists Find Measles Likely To Become Endemic in the US Over Next 20 Years A new study forecasts more than 850,000 measles cases over the next 25 years if US vaccination rates stay the same. Millions of infections are possible if rates drop.

This is the definition of a complete and catastrophic public health failure.
This is public health in the United Stares, circa 2025.

A fed' court halted Wildlife Services’ predator-killing program across 6.2M acres of public lands—banning traps, poisons, and aerial gunning in Nevada’s Wilderness & Wilderness Study Areas. But this fight isn’t over. Wildlife Services will be back. And we’ll be ready. westernwatersheds.org/support/
