Last year they claimed “illegals” were voting, without any evidence.

They used fear mongering to push for voter suppression laws.

Now they claim “illegals” are getting free healthcare, again without any evidence.

So they can make healthcare unaffordable for millions of Americans.

Enough.

A peaceful reconciliation never comes easy these days. We have to stop asking for it but rather demand it. It is up to all of us if we want a better world where peace and security is not absent.

Czech president puts NATO, EU at core of Cabinet talks after elections Petr Pavel says it is “premature” to speak of names for prime minister, after right-wing populist Andrej Babiš and his ANO movement gained a decisive victory in the Czech parliamentary …

"Czech President Petr Pavel said Sunday that a strong pro-NATO and pro-EU stance, along with safeguarding democratic institutions, will be key factors in appointing the country’s next prime minister and Cabinet."

Today was nothing but immense joy joining @amnestyuk.bsky.social, and my UNRISD/GEC colleagues as fight for disabilities rights to economic & social inclusion in the face of eco-ableism. It is important that we continue to make sure that our governments deliver basic services to all. All is all.

For the first time in a matter of months, copper futures hits over $5 on the market. Even though supply is decreasing, the demand is getting higher but steadily high. It seems only the Americans and the Chinese are demanding it more while Europe slow its demand.

Who bears the burden of climate inaction? | Brookings

New research in the Brookings Papers on Economic Activity finds climate change is already imposing financial burdens on U.S. households—especially in low-income communities.

Estimated annual costs range from $220 to over $1,000 per household.

The oversight.gov website vanishing is totally unacceptable. Not only these are public reports and holding agencies accountable, but also researchers like me use it for policy research. Unacceptable.

The 2025 Government Shutdown looming shows how unstable our politics are in America. Finger pointing, racist social media posts, the threat of firing employees instead of temporary layoffs… I have never seen a shutdown this bad in my young life (and that’s with all the close calls.)

I honestly think highways should have emergency stops for flat tires. And by stops, I mean, being able to self-fix holes and fill up with air until you’re able to go to a tire shop. The convenience would help tremendously.
