Big Bear Bald Eagle Live Nest - Cam 1 YouTube video by FOBBV CAM

Whenever I need a break from the doom scrolling and don't want to see Elon's laminated face for one more moment I check in on these baby eagles.

I have your back. I'm having a tight month financially but I just donated to Democracy Docket and hope to be able to donate again next month. You know you are doing something right when they name drop you.

Correct me if I'm wrong but on the issue of youth sports HRT guidelines wouldn't be followed. I know that once on HRT for a determined amount of time any competitive advantage is kind of equalized so I'm all for that but high school sports don't require anything like that unless I'm mistaken.

When I was a student and my teacher explained this to me I felt like some policy markers might be a good thing, health care, reproductive rights, taxes, where do those things fall on the spectrum to claim that parties are shifting, otherwise it felt like just words on a circle.

These stories amount to "the left was so annoying about pronouns or liberals made people feel so guilty about plastic straws they had no choice but to get on board with the second coming of the Third Reich and the destruction of the planet."

Riverside: we are unfortunately #6 on having the most citizens to entirely lose their healthcare. 41k people! Not a Top 10 list we want to be on.

The Justice Department is not the president's personal law firm. You are not his lawyers.

The free press should be exactly that β€” free. If the facts they report don’t align with the president’s propaganda, tough.

And this statement is a disgrace to the DOJ and the rule of law.

It was a refreshing video, I see more and more people unable to understand the importance of reading sources yourself. It's not even that hard to find the answers but people now expect to skip even clicking on links.

I was a child when I first saw this episode so the weird images are burned into my mind, making this episode a must watch. When I watch season premiers of new trek shows I like to have a mint cake cause of this episode.

I love the growing talk of boycotts. I personally have dramatically cut back my spending, and make sure to avoid stores I feel enable Trump. It takes some sacrifice but we aren't getting out of this mess without some discomfort.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Some of the money I used to spend at Amazon every month is now going to this fund. Great way to channel my no buy into even more political power.

Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

I wish people who want to be defeatists would start by defeating their own urge to spread their spirit of surrender. It's not helpful and it's not an accurate assessment of the present or the possibilities. Yes, we're in a hideous crisis. Yes, there's lots to do and lots of people trying to do it.

The $$$ Trump claims was for condoms in Gaza was likely for performing ~30 lifesaving surgeries per day, delivering ~20 babies per day, running an emergency room receiving up to 200 patients per day, and operating one of Gaza’s only neonatal intensive care units. www.cnn.com/2025/01/29/p...
