We are undergoing unprecedented loss of freshwater across the planet Rising temperatures are causing water to evaporate and driving humans to extract more groundwater, which is moving freshwater from the land to the seas and creating a "continental drying" trend

We are undergoing an unprecedented loss of freshwater across the planet. Rising temperature are prompting more evaporation and groundwater pumping, ultimately sending freshwater to the seas.

Progressive pressure to back Mamdani

If you are an elected New York Dem and you are not endorsing the ***WINNER OF THE DEM PRIMARY***, you are part of the problem.

The news is trying to act like there's some sort of suspense as to whether Republicans in the Senate will fuck over the country to pass a bill to give more money to the rich. I'm on the edge of my seat.

Utah study on trans youth care extremely inconvenient for politicians who ordered it The state's ban on gender-affirming pediatric care "cannot be justified" by science, a two-year review concluded.

More than two years ago, Utah Republicans commissioned a study on gender-affirming care for youth. It just came back, and the conclusion is unambiguous: full recommendation in support of gender-affirming care.

DEMOCRATS! Throwing Joe Biden under the bus won’t help you.

β€’It won’t win over the base.
β€’It won’t boost your approval.
β€’It won’t bring back voters who sat out 2024.
β€’It won’t fix 2026.

It makes you look petty while Trump is burning it all down. REPAIR AND BUILD THE PARTY!

A year ago candidates and policies were vetted based on their appeal to the "donor class."
Today government services are being decimated by a billionaire who bought his way into his position.
Is there anyone who has crafted the wording to a constitutional amendment to override Citizens United?

The Trump tax plan only works by cutting public services.

This incredible visualization combines the potential tax cuts (which mostly go to the rich) and loss of services (mostly borne by the poor).

It is a giant wealth transfer from the poorest to the richest. budgetlab.yale.edu/news/250319/...
