I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

If you're bored and use iNaturalist, here's a link to a tool that displays which of your observations were the first recorded for a taxon. I apparently have 16 (out of 3,395). I need to get out more. 🌿 #inaturalist #nature #insects #spiders glauberramos.github.io/inat/first-o...

Make Money Not War: Trump’s Real Plan for Peace in Ukraine The Kremlin pitched the White House on peace through business. To Europe’s dismay, the president and his envoy are on board.

This week has offered many stark insights:
1. The US is by far the most corrupt Western country.
2. Trump's administration works for its own enrichment with Russia, sacrificing Ukraine (WSJ below).
3. The US must play no role on Ukraine-Russia issues. /1

This is not a minor issue: it’s a serious threat to democracy. We’re rapidly transitioning into a world where, as long as you support the president, you can be above the law; if you’re in the opposition, you have a target on your back. Opposition can’t survive under these conditions.

Freedom is Action: A Campaign for Ukraine A fundraiser for life-saving drone-jamming cars and trucks

Please join me in a new campaign to help protect Ukrainians in a very special way. My Ukrainian friends chose to call this campaign Freedom is Action. They are making an important point. One way to find our own courage is to act in support those who are showing it

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

Leaf litter sampling is impressively hardcore. Have always thought oh I should learn how to do that someday. IDing based on those all those tiny tiny teeth is another thing entirely!

Disney+ cancellation success form. Reason for cancellation is Other, with text that reads, "ABC, which is owned by Disney, censored Jimmy Kimmel"

I just canceled my Disney+ and Hulu subscription, and cited ABC's decision to censor @jimmykimmel.com as the reason. Will resubscribe when ABC's parent company shows that they are willing to resist Trump's fascist regime

#CancelDisney #CancelHulu

CBS, ABC and Disney should get the full treatment Target got. They are anti-FreeSpeech & openly pro-Fascist.

Boycott them.
Destroy their bottom line.
See how long they can survive just MAGA viewership.

Time to put your money where your love of the Constitution is.
Do. Not. Support. Them.
