Trump is bailing out Argentina with $40 billion while leaving American farmers twisting in the wind. At this point, it’s obvious he doesn’t want them to succeed.

I’m calling it now: this is going to turn into a land grab for pennies on the dollar.

It’s weird how the β€œyoung” Republicans are actually full-grown men and JD Vance treats them as children who shouldn’t face consequences for their racism, misogyny, or xenophobia.

But pregnant 12-year-old little girls are treated as adults and must literally bear the consequences of rape and incest.

I dont think enough Americans realize Republicans are gearing up for permanent rule. I dont know if we will get to midterm elections. Even if we do, with gerrymandering, the gutting of the Voting Rights Act, and violent intimidation, they'll rig the elections for minority rule.

All hands on deck.

Politicians now measure their words against the possibility of death threats. That’s how bad it’s gotten.

I imagine. When I taught at the elementary level, 40 years ago, cuts were constant and concerning.

Why are teachers so in need of supplies for their classrooms? I taught for 39 years and always was somewhat short of supplies, but not on the essentials (except Kleenex, pencils, and masking tape). What %$ of your needs are not being met?

Republicans here, especially if you are a Congressperson, are you onboard with covering up the Epstein files? Everyone who is angry and disgusted, put on the pressure on ALL social media platforms! Call your representatives.

FEMA will no longer go door-to-door to assist disaster victims The move, says one agency worker, will β€œseverely hamper our ability to reach vulnerable people.”

As the nations lag on climate action, cities across the world step up A new report documents how local communities are becoming more livable and sustainable.

Ten years after the Paris Agreement, nations are still falling short of their commitments to reduce emissions and mitigate climate change.

More than that, they haven’t shown enough follow-through on the goals they set. Instead, it’s been cities and local governments that have taken the lead.

I just read this, listened to Beattie, and am disgusted (by Beattie). At the bottom, I found you on BlueSky. Good work! Thank you.

Listen to a Holocaust survivor. Everyone (probably not on BlueSky) needs to pay attention to history.
