“It’s funny how, as a culture, we feel immortal — as if no matter how much damage we do to the natural systems that support life on Earth, and no matter how many other species we send to extinction daily, it can’t possibly happen to us.”
— Sue Coulstock, Racing to Extinction

Just days after we sued the Trump-Vance admin for holding nearly $6 billion in education funds hostage, the administration released the funds for the 2025–2026 school year.

A statement from our CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social on this important victory. ⬇️

Elizabeth Warren: "We have Republicans, in theory, they could stand up to him. But I say 'in theory.' It's the most spineless bunch of people I've ever seen."

#TrumpIsUnfit but corporate media is not communicating this-at the expense of democracy.

Legacy newsroom leaders are in sanewashing overdrive since 1/20/25.

Trump is now claiming he has lowered drug prices “1,500%” in a week.

7/22 “we will”
8/3 “we have”

I've had the measles- vaccine introduced when I was 9.
I've had the mumps- vaccine introduced when I was 13.
I've had COVID-19 (bad case in May 2020) - vaccinated as soon as it was available.

Why would anyone choose to not take advantage?
Anti-vaxxers are everyone's problem.
Science-denying freaks.

Killer smog in Alberta

As a Floridian, I hate to think of which state is #1.

You're not TOO far off when it comes to the western hemisphere, but surely you misspoke with the southern hemisphere having 80%.

Sir, your "opinion" isn't worth the paper you Sharpie penned.
Are we at 40,000 documented lies in office yet?

Nothing but fish storms on the radar, let's keep it going.

True, but it's $300 less than I would've paid.

I'd ask him whether he understands the difference between Protection and Plundering, as to what the P in EPA stands for.

I'll take the $300.

I'll take Judge Judy any day.

I don't know who she is either, DonOld. But if she's a Republican, my curiosity is quenched.

“Why Are We Funding This?” Long-standing myths about “silly science” have contributed to the reckless slashing of government-supported research.

My latest for American Scientist Magazine helps give scientists the tools to fight back against politicized charges that our research is silly or pointless- tools that will work whether you’re asked “why are we funding this” from your asshole uncle at Thanksgiving or an asshole US Senator.

Don’t believe everything you see on the internet just because there’s a picture with a quote next to it.

Texas House Democrats break quorum, bolt state after GOP congressional redistricting map passes committee | Houston Public Media The move effectively brings the state House of Representatives to a standstill and prevents any consideration by the full chamber of HB 4, which would dramatically redraw Texas’ congressional maps.

Democrats leaving the state effectively brings the state House of Representatives to a standstill and prevents any consideration by the full chamber of HB 4, which would dramatically redraw Texas’ congressional maps (via Houston Public Media).

I'm in. But, 24 hours isn't going to have much effect.
A week would be better.

We're in! ❤️🇺🇲

I spend a lot of time on Pluto TV. It is paid for with advertizing, and apparently ads don't bother me as much as other people. I grew up with broadcast networks. I'd rather have spot breaks 4-5 times per hour. A chance for a snack or potty break without putting the program on hold.

It sucks that you have to pay money to access so much good stuff like this nowadays. I'm bummed that I've missed several Star Trek series for the same reason. There is NNTP for some, but I still haven't seen the recent Trump episode on South Park, and probably never will.
C'est la vie.

When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together.

With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection.
