Opinion | Why Did Elon Musk Go After Bunkers Full of Seeds? (Gift Article) Gene banks are like a survivalist cache: our nation’s safeguard against all future challenges to growing the food we need.

This seems to have gone under the radar. Trump and Musk defunded America’s doomsday seed vault. If we ever face a global agricultural disaster, this vault holds the seeds needed to restore plant life and feed humanity. This is beyond reckless.

Let me know if you’ll be in London.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.

Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”

We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

Yes!

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

It’s Not Amateur Hour Anymore Trump’s team is savvy and has been planning to remake the federal government for years.

Lest you think they are inept or don’t know what they are doing.

US police union that backed Trump says January 6 pardons send ‘dangerous message’ Fraternal Order of Police and International Association of Chiefs of Police criticize blanket clemency to 1,500

Can they really be surprised? So much for Back the Blue.

The rules, if you are keeping track:

If a single left activist anywhere in the world says "defund the police," it becomes the official position of the Democratic Party, now and forever.

If the president's top surrogate repeatedly sieg-heils on stage, it's ambiguous, impossible to interpret.

This is one of the best pieces I've read on the gender gap since the election.
