Trump’s sudden love for EVs is hilarious. Spent years mocking them, rolling back emissions standards, and calling them a ‘hoax’—but now that Tesla stock is tanking and Elon’s in trouble, he’s ready to be their #1 fan. MAGA-powered Teslas coming soon? #GriftRecognizesGrift #Trump #tesla

Elon Musk and his fellow oligarchs are deliberately tanking the stock market, driving fear, chaos, and sell-offs so they can buy in at rock-bottom prices and cash out when it rebounds. Classic market manipulation. But yeah, they’re totally for the people. #StockMarket #Oligarchy

I did some figuring, and we only need nine more Luigi’s to straighten this mess out.

The EU backs a big defense package as Zelenskyy confirms talks with the U.S. next week — NPR European Union leaders have approved a major spending package on defense, where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy — a non-EU leader invited to the summit — received a warm welcome.

Beautiful. Now hammer Russia’s ass!

Telling you to sit down while his cult members to the right were out of their seats was despicable.

Alina Habbard posted: NOTHING CAN STOP THIS MAN FROM FIGHTING FOR HIS COUNTRY.
David Simon had a succinct 2-word response: “Bone spurs.”

Trump Killed a Major Report on Nature. They’re Trying to Publish It Anyway. (Gift Article) The first full draft of the assessment, on the state of America’s land, water and wildlife, was weeks from completion. The project leader called the study “too important to die.”

Trump ended the first-ever National Nature Assessment, which was trying to reveal how nature loss influences climate change and impacts humanity, but the researchers are trying to publish it anyway.

Biodiversity is “woke” now🙄

Fascism isn’t coming from the outside—it’s already here, feeding off fear and division. Americans must fight this domestic threat with everything we’ve got. Democracy is ours to protect. #WakeUp #DefendDemocracy #ResistFascism

Americans have always fought for freedom—now, the battle is at home. Fascism thrives on fear and division, but we resist with truth, solidarity, and action. Democracy isn’t guaranteed; we must defend it. #ResistFascism #DefendDemocracy

America stands at a crossroads, where the choices we make today will determine whether we remain a democracy or slide into authoritarian rule. Fear, defiance, and uncertainty fill the air—but so does the resolve to fight for what’s right.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

@aoc.bsky.social here we are. Where do we go from here? #Trump

AOC: “Oh, I don’t think we’re witnessing the START of an oligarchy. I think we are fully here.” 🇺🇸

Authoritarianism has taken over our social media platforms. It is apparent that 21st century fascism has made its mark. It is a sad day in America. #trump #tiktok #inauguration

This ~ 💯%

I am such a believer in this. Down-ballot is the way.

It’s also how we build a sustainable future of good leaders and infrastructure to elect and support them, as well as the movements they represent.

We don’t just need strong candidates. We need strong organizers, managers, CoS, grassroots, etc.

Silence in the face of those who deny science and harm the planet isn’t neutrality—it’s complicity. Our failure to act today will be the cost we pay tomorrow. The Earth doesn’t have time for denial.

Science doesn’t ask us to believe—it challenges us to see the world as it is, not as we wish it to be. In a time where truths are malleable, your clarity is a rare gift. Thank you for being a beacon of reason in a society that too often denies objective truth.

To deny science is to deny the very foundation of progress. It’s not just ignorance—it’s a refusal to face the universe as it is, in all its complexity and truth. The world doesn’t bend to belief; it bends to discovery. #ScienceIsTruth #RealityDoesn’tWait

🌍 When the Earth is sending clear signals, but many still refuse to listen. Ignoring the science doesn’t make the problem go away. #ClimateChangeIsReal #ActNow #ScienceMatters

#climatechange is not a talking point.

Here’s how the Sun will end all life on Earth Our home star won't go supernova, but the end of its life will be no less spectacular.

Anyway here’s a cheerful piece about how the Sun will eventually destroy all life on Earth (but not by exploding, so, you know, there’s that)

Storm of a trillion stars

Humanity: a species brilliant enough to understand the cosmos, yet petty enough to destroy itself over invisible borders and imagined hierarchies.
