Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
$40B for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$98M for Trump's golf outings

But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

Demand Accountability

Climate disasters are on the rise, costing lives, destroying homes, and causing trillions of dollars in damage. We can’t afford to sit back and watch any longer. Sign on to demand corporate accountability for climate disasters! app.sosha.ai/s/tMzqbTi0

Defend FEMA

FEMA (The Federal Emergency Management Agency) has been essential to disaster relief for decades, but the Trump Administration has spread dangerous misinformation about FEMA and even drastically cut its staff and funding. Take a stand on these attacks here app.sosha.ai/s/fXZwd133

Real time data coming out of the world’s climate measurement systems should be stopping us in our tracks. The latest estimate shows that, this week, the Earth is 1.9°C warmer than before we began burning fossil fuels.

Wildlife advocate, primate expert Jane Goodall dies at 91 Scientist and global activist Jane Goodall, who turned her childhood love of primates into a lifelong quest for protecting the environment, died on Wednesday at the age of 91, the institute she founded said.

Tonight I learned that one of my heroes has died. I loved her and colleagues' "adventures" as a child and grew up to admire her scientific work for so many reasons. RIP Jane Goodall.

very excited for it to be that time of year when i contract a mysterious illness from my children.

Although precise figures are seldom available on a consistent basis, evidence already shows major impacts on local water availability. One study estimated that seven data centres in Utah’s Great Salt Lake region consumed 600 million gallons of water in 2023. To put that into perspective, this is roughly equivalent to the annual consumption of over 100,000 beef cattle—an industry that is Utah’s top agricultural sector, generating nearly $500 million in 2019. Other examples suggest even higher consumption. In Council Bluffs, Iowa, Google used 980 million gallons of drinking water in 2023, accounting for nearly a quarter of the city’s total water use that year. In The Dalles, Oregon, another Google facility consumed 302 million gallons out of 1.5 billion gallons used by the city, or about 20 percent of its drinking water supply. These cases make clear that data centres can have significant local impacts.

It is unfathomable to me that, in a rapidly and *dangerously* overheating world, we are allowing a destructive technology to guzzle this much water. And governments are making *people* ration their water use so that these miserable companies can use more.

It kind of sucks deleting and unsubscribing to apps "before it was cool" because now I can't participate in the boycotts 😅

I like the first one the most in terms of being able to see things more clearly, although the second one is better in terms of the light interplay in the background

7 Ideas to Reduce Political Polarization. And Save America from Itself. How can we heal our country’s toxic polarization? Here are seven research-backed ideas for pundits, politicians, reporters and regular citizens to bring down the temperature.

I'm just going to leave this here:

Deforestation kills.

New @nature.com study shows heat-related illness from deforestation has claimed over half a million lives in the tropics in the past 20 years. This new research is a stark reminder of why protecting forests is critical to protecting people. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It's interesting how obvious it is that talented people don't enjoy being filmed, they enjoy what they do

The comments section on this one is chef's kiss 🤌 The last few pages, though, aren't for eating or choose your own adventure. They're so that nobody can truly say the book ended poorly. All books are neutral in this way

Canceled my Netflix account to donate monthly to PBS and NPR. It's a better value anyway

There are two types of people, those who plant trees for future generations.

And those who leave pollution.

The latter shouldn't be allowed anywhere near government or power.

Tiny sentinels

I cannot recommend this app enough. You can turn the AI feature off super easily, it has a built in ad blocker, and all of the functionality of Google while planting trees.

Since 1980, there have been over 400 weather disasters in the US, with total damages over $1 billion.

These disasters have cost $2.9 trillion in total and killed nearly 17,000 people.

Don't tell me we "can't afford" to address the climate crisis.

The truth is we can’t afford not to.

My favorite thing about Bluesky is that I get to see how many truly wonderful and smart people share space with me on this planet 💙

Conserving our environment is an American value. From hikers to hunters we want to keep our public lands public! Thats why the unprecedented sell-off of millions of acres of public lands needs to be removed from the Senate Budget Bill.

Nature is non partisan! 🇺🇸

Pass it on!

Earth Day is a reminder that we only have one planet. Sometimes, it takes seeing Earth from space to truly grasp how precious it is. 🧵⬇️ (1/4)
