We need every representative loudly reminding their constituents they work for them! Not the DNC. Not next year's elections. One would hope that they mean it, but even if they don't, they should still be screaming this from the rooftops!

Well that makes sense. The only requirement to buying a cyber truck is to be a single male or a married man desperate to show the world his manliness.

Tesla shareholders approve $1 trillion pay package for Musk | CNN Business Tesla shareholders approved a pay package on Thursday that could make CEO Elon Musk, already the world’s richest person, the world’s first trillionaire.

Here’s some hope to help us process this news: I’m helping kids prep speeches advocating for climate policy, immigration reform, equal pay and gender equity, and increased access to mental health services. The oldest of the bunch are 13.

Social media is ADHD realized. Because I want to post obscure facts about my favorite US president (Ulysses S. Grant) and then follow that with a post about how we're actually testing to see if we can nuke huge incoming meteors so we dont go the way of the dinosaurs! And then send TikToks of dogs.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's win is so influential that readers globally want to understand how the Mayor-Elect will confront the climate crisis. So I summed up his official climate campaign promises for Italian outlet @renewablematter.bsky.social

So Trump is withholding SNAP benefits from his constituents and allowing them to starve during a Congressionally-triggered government shutdown, instead of swooping in as the savior to feed his peasants... I mean people? PR win and doing his job? Too good for reality.

I'm so done with Meta. Some low-life hacks my account that I've had for over a decade and now I'm just now allowed into it ever again? Meta doesn't care, since they have NO customer service. WHEN are we getting updated anti-monopoly laws?

Trump admin already threatening Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show with ICE raids Trump admin already threatening Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show with ICE raids

In response to Puerto Rican American citizen Bad Bunny leading the Superbowl halftime show Corey Lewandowski complained that Bad Bunny "hates America," then vaguely threatened to have ICE at the Superbowl. To quote the iconic Abed Nadir, this is the darkest timeline.

Dear every company hiring for new employees,

If we already attached a meticulously curated resume in pdf form for you, don't make us then retype (and generally correct) the autofill work experience section immediately afterwards. We won't waste your time if you don't waste ours!!

Energy Dept. adds β€˜climate change’ and β€˜emissions’ to banned words list It is the latest in a series of Trump administration efforts to dispute, silence or downplay climate change.

Next the Dept. of Justice is going to ban the words "Jeffery" and "Epstein"...how is our Congress okay with this??

Sometimes it’s overwhelming thinking about the United State’s potential, and how it’s being squandered. I’m sure this present government isn’t the dream my grandparents fought tooth and nail to get to from the holocaust.

Is anyone else disappointed by @ramtrucks.bsky.social newest ad saying β€œAmericans just can’t help being American” but think AMURICA. Is this the new bare minimum normal for US markets? Nationalism disguised as American-made? TLDR some Dodge Ram manufacturers are in Mexico youtu.be/u1KC9ssyNUk?...

My latest with Heated! Regardless of your thoughts on TikTok, its clearly an effective place for climate and environmental advocacy. More people care about conservation and are against expensive and unnecessary oil drilling than ever, even if its not covered on mainstream media.

Congress has decided to claw back previously approved funding for public media. This decision hurts people in communities across the country, but it has only strengthened our resolve to keep Americans... TikTok video by npr

Only the truly guilty move to defund the free press. When you’re hiding from @npr.org you KNOW it’s a bad look.

Can 2025 be the year we all just finally agree that read-receipts were maliciously created so passive aggressive/weak people can send you a message without any of the burden of communicating like a person?

Quick Q for all of my experienced journalism peers: So as a newly laid off journalist, what's the first thing I should do? Drink a lot? Ponder the potential of a book? Drink while pondering? Let me know, just want to make sure I'm handling this correctly!

(4/4) I can't help but be excited for the unknown potential of my future. Yes, it will undoubtedly be dotted with adversity and setbacks. But it will also lead to countless opportunities hitherto unavailable, and isn't that potential just so exciting? So. Let's get into.

(2/4) I'll continue providing transparency into current political systems hell-bent on erasing all tangible solutions to solve the climate crisis. I'll expose corporate corruption within govt systems, anti-climate lobbying and secret deals as hot as the summers we now endure due to climate change.

🧡 (1/4)This is my last day at Trellis. Media was never the most secure professional path to choose, but I continue to believe with full confidence that journalism's role in a functional democracy is resolute, and I will not let one bump in the road derail my mission. I'm not going anywhere.

Well, you're not a real journalist until you've been laid off once or twice! I'm officially leaving Trellis and am open to any leads/connections/well wishes that my @bsky.app community can share. My drive to make climate policy transparent and incorruptible continues #climatejournalistssky
