A mantra I share with movement leaders in Kenya all the time “don’t fight your allies with the same intensity that you fight your enemies”. People are gonna fight - it’s human nature. But fight your allies fair and leave the door open to reconciliation.

Trump’s Pay-to-Pardon Scheme
Corporate executives who defraud nursing homes? Pardoned.Reality TV stars who evade millions in taxes? Pardoned.Thousand Trump’s Pay-to-Pardon Scheme

Last year, lobbying firms raked in over $5 million from clients hoping to secure a pardon from Trump.

Turns out his pay-to-pardon scheme is quite lucrative. Watch. https://youtu.be/NflcWXdV-B0?si=0fAnSic2HAFVRmfN

Every time a woman runs for president I hear that she’s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet

Here in Illinois, we honor the powerful women who paved the way for our state.

Unlike Trump, we see their strength — and we're proud of it.

On International Women’s Day and every day, we recognize that all of us have a better future when everyone reaches their full potential.

remember on international women’s day to also celebrate the women who don’t get credit for their work, aren’t respected as people because they aren’t “hot”, and trans-women who constantly have to fight for their identity and place.

it really is just stunningly on the nose that the opening salvo to Trump’s supposed war
of liberation in Iran began with bombing a girl’s school.

if you put that in fiction people would dismiss it as being too maudlin and heavy-handed, and yet this kind of thing just keeps actually happening.

Shutting an oil well isn’t like turning off a faucet.

It’s a huge engineering risk, difficult to reverse — and an indicator the Kuwaitis don’t see choke points improving anytime soon.

They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"

Yesterday, orcas plied the waterways of Central Puget Sound from Seattle to Tacoma. Up north reports of orcas in Possession Sound where grays were keeping a presence as well.

Dogs are great if you have money and want that to no longer be the case.

Sunlit woodland bank covered in bright green moss (a bryophyte). Fox-tail Feather-moss (Thamnobryum alopecurum) forms lush draping growth over a sloping bank at the base of a tree, the shoots rising and branching like tiny green trees or soft fox-tail plumes. Nearby a Hart’s-tongue fern (Asplenium scolopendrium) grows with long strap-shaped fronds. Winter sunlight filters through bare woodland branches in the background.

I used to be shocked at how much friendlier Americans are to strangers than Indians before I realised that people in this country are starving for friendships and contact. It's why you ask a perfect stranger in Seattle how they're doing and 5 min later you have their whole life story vs a "fine"

On this day, in 1933, Frances Perkins was appointed by President Roosevelt as the first female cabinet member and served as Secretary of Labor.

During Women's History Month, and every month, we honor the many women who have made significant contributions to our country.

TED makes multi-million-dollar investment to boost safe abortion in 10 countries This is the first time TED’s Audacious Project has invested in an organization specifically focused on abortion access and care.

The global reproductive rights organization Ipas will be receiving "multi millions" from TED's Audacious Project. This is the first time the project has funded an organization that works specifically in abortion access and care since the initiative was developed in 2018.
