Shuttered Canadian Marine Park Warns It May Euthanize 30 Beluga Whales, Prompting a Global Outcry - Inside Climate News The uncertain future of 30 beluga whales still living in tanks at Marineland—a shuttered aquarium and amusement park in Niagara Falls, Ontario—has drawn global outcry from animal rights activists this...

Did their parents not teach them that if you can't take care of a pet for life, you don't deserve to have it in the first place?

Let's show up. Let's organize. Let's win.

The next few months need to resemble the 2017 fight to save the ACA. In the end, we won. Call Congressmembers, confront them at town halls, offices, airports & fundraisers. Hold events so Congressmembers look really bad for being afraid of constituents.

THank GOD

I hope by the end of the month the only thing any news network can show of Portland is footage of masked men in body armor with automatic weapons facing down a magical army of giant, puffy animal people armed with fans and awkward dance moves.

As a protest optics nerd love about the inflatables is how much they visually disrupt and pull focus from the fascist shock imagery Noem & Miller are trying to create.

So many of these photos now look like the world's silliest dance party, backgrounded by a bunch of guys in uniform looking awkward

This is how you get your employees to train you while still asserting your status as their “boss.”

A good leader would just say I know I have a lot to learn and would love to meet with each team to do just that

JB Pritzker says NO KINGS, SHOW UP ON 10/18

The fact that they are still doing the "Soros-paid protestors" bit is just an incredible testimony to the durability of certain tropes to negate the popular will, regardless of the lack of evidence.

Screenshot from Farm Bureau article on farm bankruptcies. It shows farm bankruptcies climbing steadily 2014-2020, falling by half in 2021, & continuing to fall through 2023.

Farm bankruptcies are back in the news, so it's time to pull this chart out again.

Hey look they kept rising during Trump's first term. Then they went way down under Biden.

Now they're up again? So weird. Thanks Farm Bureau for the graphic

one of the most important things to learn, if you're out there doing things:

you don't get to talk about it.

you don't get to brag about it, you don't get to tell your friends, you don't get drinks bought for you in the bar off the story.

it's *always* shut the fuck up friday

Theyre just threatening to shoot us now.

But it’s a bluff. Call it.

You can bet your ass I voted YES on California’s PROP 50 because fascist republicans will stop at nothing to cheat/rig elections and destroy democracy and that must be countered every time if we are to have any democratic freedoms left. Vote YES on PROP 50. 💙👊

We already have plenty of examples of people saying NO and him/the regime backing down.

He wants X thing so he gets X thing is not a given. And to me that's the thing to uproot from people's consciousness. Because we're less than a year in and many people seem already defeated.

I'm just so proud of all of us who came together to start For The People Leftist Library. We punch so much above our weight. We have no money and yet we have done sooooo much by being creative and by relying on each other. I am grateful and also determined to keep pushing for the next 2 years.

there have always been people who like to write, and people who like to say they have written, and the latter really love the idea of AI and the former can not understand why you'd let a computer do the fun part.

This government shutdown should be called the "trump-stein" shutdown of 2025.

By every Democrat.

New Yorkers know Attorney General James for who she is: a champion for justice who fights relentlessly for the people. Donald Trump knows her only as an obstacle to his corruption. No one should be surprised that Donald Trump is employing fascist tactics—prosecuting his opponents, weaponizing the federal government, and attacking the very fabric of our democracy. And Trump should not be surprised when millions of Americans stand up to his authoritarianism and his greed. If Trump wants to leverage baseless charges to visit political retribution on New York’s Attorney General, he’ll have to go through New Yorkers first. The Attorney General has had our back, time and again. We have hers.

My full statement:

I'm so sorry. It's so hard.

We've been making noise about this since it started, legislatively and in Congressional requests. But I remain really concerned that it has become partisan to defend due process and to oppose child trafficking.

This is really important. I was recently talking to folks in Chicago who said that much as they fear ICE detaining children without due process, they worry even more that child traffickers will don their same masks and do even worse.

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

Rep. Jamie Raskin has sent letters to four of the nation's largest banks demanding information related to "more than $1.5 billion in suspicious financial transactions flagged by the banks tied to sex trafficking crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and their co-conspirators."

Friends and comrades made a crowdfunding page for my family.

It’s really hard to post this. I know that there are a lot of other important issues asking for money but things have gotten to the point where we need to open ourselves up to your support.

Thank you for your consideration.

In a democracy based on freedom and the rule of law, we don’t jail public officials—or anyone—because of policy disagreements. We need everyone to repudiate this nonsense because a president cannot act as a prosecutor, judge, jury and dictator.
