The confluence of science and culture, the environment, critical thinking. We have the tools to solve problems, it’s frequently the lack of will that’s holding up solutions.

Always watching: How ICE’s plan to monitor social media 24/7 threatens privacy and civic participation ICE’s dragnet is expanding across social media, putting everyone’s digital lives into the realm of border and immigration enforcement.

ICE is building a 24/7 social media monitoring program that would scan Facebook, TikTok, Instagram and dozens of other platforms. Private contractors would turn public posts into enforcement leads fed directly into government databases. buff.ly/gXCFJBl

Salinas Grandes, salt flats located primarily in the provinces of Salta and Jujuy in the northwest of Argentina. The third-largest salt flats in the world

These salt flats are situated at a high altitude of around 3,450 meters (11,320 feet) above sea level and cover a vast area with a sparkling white salt crust. They are a popular tourist destination known for their surreal beauty, cultural importance, and traditional salt harvesting by local communities.

President-elect Trump is inheriting a historically strong economy President-elect Trump will inherit unquestionably the strongest economy for an incoming administration since the George W. Bush administration. That strong economic performance heading up to the 2001 ...

Does Trump smoke indica or a hybrid. Trump inherited a strong economy from Obama and tanked it with tax cuts and a big deficit www.epi.org/blog/preside...

A mix of AI and real film. Good fake, but I wish Bluesky allowed editing just for situations like this. I'd identify as AI

Telling people to negotiate their own health insurance is like telling them to use their Costco membership fee to bargain directly with food manufacturers.

I Rely on SNAP To Feed My Kids. Here’s The Terrifying Reality Republicans Refuse To Acknowledge. "The thought of losing SNAP this month doesn’t just scare me. It breaks something open in my chest."

'Our regular SNAP allotment doesn’t cover everything, but it provides most of what ends up on our table. When it’s gone, I have to get extra creative by remixing leftovers, figuring out substitutions, visiting the food pantry' www.huffpost.com/entry/snap-b... #food #maga #greed

It might be AI. There are AI detention tools. A friend did her own analysis using AI detection and found that it is likely real. To get a final, more scientific conclusion would require an expert with the right tools, though current AI detection tools are not perfect. Very well done if it is AI.

The crested tit is a small bird with a striking black-and-white spiky crest on its head. It lives mostly in old pine forests in Europe, especially Scotland. It is active, eats insects and seeds, and is known for a soft, high-pitched call. Male and female look alike

Crested tit (Lophophanes cristatus) native to European pine forests, is easily identified by its unique head markings. Takes insects and seeds. 🪶 #birds #nature #wildlife #biology

This image depicts a tranquil forest lake scene dominated by coniferous trees, a moss-covered boulder, and an old, weathered wooden boat pulled up onto the shore. The setting exudes the quiet and haunting beauty typical of the boreal forests (taiga) found throughout much of Finland.

Somewhere in Finland. The landscape is characteristic of central and northern Finland, especially in regions like Lapland, North Ostrobothnia, and Kainuu. #nature #photography #forests #landscape

Winning both chambers (GOP is polling so poorly, odds makers say we have over a 50% chance of a senate majority) would make this possible, after Trump’s impeachment & prosecution.
