Hey John Stamos, have mercy on dolphins suffering at SeaWorld by NOT performing there in the future! You'll be profiting & promoting a company that forcibly breeds & drugs animals who deserve to be respected 💔

This performance isn’t fair to the animals or your kind fans.

There’s nothing natural about breeding billions of animals just to take their lives. 💔

That’s not the circle of life - that’s the system we created. 😠

Break the cycle - go vegan. 🌱

Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo: ‘A city’s creativity doesn’t depend on cars. That’s the 20th century’ Accused of desecrating the French capital, the politician wants more bikes, green spaces and social housing

“A city’s creativity doesn’t depend on cars. That’s the 20th century. We’re in the 21st.”— Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo.

No matter what happens in the Paris election in 4 days, the world’s cities owe @annehidalgo.bsky.social a huge debt of gratitude.

The boldest, most inspiring mayor I’ve seen.

My little mutual aid team has fundraised over $250,000 in rent support over the last 3 months JUST for families at our neighborhood school.

$1 million for the whole city does NOT come close to meeting the scale and depth of need in our city.

Fuck Frey. This is unacceptable & will cause harm.

Seamark restaurant in Encore Boston Harbor to close, weeks after employees unionized - The Boston Globe Seamark, which opened on the first floor of the Everett casino less than two years ago, said its last day of service would be March 29.

Sure seems like retaliation against the unionization vote

MYTH: Crime victims support long prison sentences.

REALITY: Most victims of violence want violence prevention. Harm is real, but mass support for mass incarceration is not.

Kanzi the bonobo could play pretend — a trait thought unique to humans Past anecdotal observations have hinted that great apes play pretend. But now, experimental research shows that our closest living relatives can keep track of imaginary objects.

The Iditarod forces dogs to run about 1,000 miles through extreme conditions in Alaska, often pushing them to exhaustion, injury, and even death 💔 The race just added a new sponsor, VIVAZEN. Urge them to rethink their future support and help end this cruelty. www.peta.vg/46kt

Never trust anyone who would rather cut Social Security than make millionaires and billionaires pay into the program all year long like the rest of us do.

Brad Sherman says he’s “helping Democrats in swing districts.” Those Democrats include Jared Golden and Don Davis, who voted for the DHS bill funding ICE. That’s the same MAGA infrastructure harming our communities. Stop pretending it’s resistance.

The Supreme Court orders Ayuso to open the registry of abortion objectors Justice backs the Ministry of Health's appeal and warns of the Madrid government's "passivity" in complying with the law

In Spain, the Madrid government is unwilling to provide a list of objectors - doctors who deny care based on their personal beliefs - so the federal gov't filed a lawsuit and the Supreme Court has ordered the registry. Shockingly, these lists are not made available to patients, who need it the most.

I’m hollering at my screen… yaaas!

Actress Sheryl Underwood, an Air Force Reserve veteran, is asking the questions we all want answers to.

“Why is this not impeachable? And where are the politicians that say, ‘this dude don’t have it all the way together, he cannot be the commander in chief?’” 🔥

There’s no such thing as a green car. What you’re thinking of is a less bad car that we’re at risk of having more of, and driving more, because we’ve been convinced it’s a green car.

Again, see the thread.

In the face of wildfires, floods, and melting ice:
Wealth can't negotiate with nature.
It can't reverse deforestation or rising seas.
Only collective wisdom and bold action can. Let's choose life over luxury. 🌳🔥 #ClimateCrisis

No matter how many billions we stack, money can't buy a breathable atmosphere or clean oceans. Wealth is worthless on a dying planet. Time to prioritize Earth over endless profit. 🌍💚 #ClimateAction #ThinkLongTerm

Imagine a future where humanity unites to heal the planet: green cities, restored forests, clean energy everywhere. It's possible—if we value life over luxury. Our decisions now write that story. Who's in? 🌱☀️

Chris Wright can go f*ck himself.

Those who can afford EVs should be driving one, Kyle.

Like I said. Not our friend. Never was. Russia understood the assignment. Manipulate America through exultation of white supremacy and dude bro culture wars.

Worked like a charm

People vote for Andy Ogles.
