Speaker Johnson just confessed.

The Republicans are holding canceled SNAP as a negotiating tactic.

Taking children and their families hostage is reprehensible.

In theory the press are there to create an informed electorate who can then use their votes to move their government in a healthy direction. In practice the press are there to keep the public too ignorant, propagandized and distracted to meddle in the workings of the imperial machine.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Happy Sunday Morning BlueSky! Had an amazing weekend celebrating some birthdays!

Two side by side images showing changes to the land since 2009. I'm the 2009 image, a small seasonal stream is flowing through the middle of the property. Mostly straight with no meanders. The 2024-2025 winter image shows a series of ponds, multiple stream channels, some small islands and native plants and woody debris. The changes resulted in a lot of diverse habitats with a lot more water on the land.

This shows part of our property from the air. The left side is winter 2009 and the right is winter 2024-2025. All the dark areas are water. This shows the new wetland areas that I have been working on since 2017. There are no fish in this area but lots of amphibians and other critters now! 🌱 🌎

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

Is this the end of the #officejob?

From 2002 to 2024, office and admin roles dropped from 18% to 12% of #USjobs as #manufacturing shrank.

Rising fast: logistics, food service, healthcare, and tech.

The losers? Repetitive, middle-skill jobs.

The office is being automated. #AI

Men aren't being encouraged to take caring jobs — and that's hurting everyone Women are disproportionately represented in HEED jobs — healthcare, early education, and domestic work. Why aren't we pushing men to go into these fields?

"Achieving gender parity in STEM fields is an admirable goal. Yet...there’s been next-to-no effort to close the gender gap in so-called HEED jobs — healthcare, early education, & domestic work — where women are disproportionately represented."

I am not a part of the tolerant left. I’m a we were far too tolerant during reconstruction and should have prosecuted, jailed, and seized every asset of everyone involved in the confederacy, same for the Nazis, the Tobacco companies, opioid pushers, PFAS producers, and corrupt politicians.
