He nailed it!

A reminder, in case you need one, that women are incredible athletes

By @alejandrabee.bsky.social The House and Senate both voted to loosen regulations on air pollutants like dioxin and mercury, which are associated with higher cancer risk.

The Mountain was spectacular this afternoon. #PNW #Landscape #Nature #photography

The happiest dog, you’ll see today

Trumpty-Dumpty is defunding PBS. What he calls "bias" some of us call "facts Trumpty-Dumpty doesn't like."

Socialism is what they called public power.  Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Federal workers SAVE the government money, that’s why firing them is COSTING the government money. This isn’t difficult.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

"Human rights are not only violated by terrorism, repression or assassination, but also by unfair economic structures that create huge inequalities." - Pope Francis

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts. From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

Lisa Murkowski: “We are all afraid.” “Retaliation is real”. Oh, really? GOP senators helped create this monster and now they’re too chickenshit to stop him.

Universities will win if they stick together and focus on what's actually important - non-profit teaching and research towards the public good - and ditch this neoliberal idea that the university is just a business like any other.

Requiring REAL IDs and passports and birth certificates to vote?!? Imagine if these were required to buy a gun.

“‘It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the Secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies,’ Dr. Peter Marks wrote in a resignation letter referring to HHS Secretary RFK Jr.”

Why aren’t you wearing a suit? Have you said “Thank you” to Greenland and Denmark for allowing you to have a base on Greenland?

Gomez on Hegseth: "He stood in front of a podium in Europe holding a drink! So of course we want to know if his performance is compromised. If your people were asking if General Austin was compromised because of a heart issue ... this is serious."

Who else AGREES with Pete?! 🤚

The October 10 2024 Northern Lights display from the Dark Sky area Mount Baker Snoqualmie National Forest in Washington. Fingers crossed 🤞 tonight may bring some aurora activity yet.. if we do see a CME arrival before daylight hours!! #aurora #northernlights #solarstorm #WxPics #WxSky

Mountain walls captured in Somiedo natural park, Asturias. I’ve always been fascinated by such imposing mountain walls. It feels like you can read the « personality » of a mountain from those reliefs… I might just be a bit crazy tho 😆. #photography #nature #landscape #art #mountains

I'm just saying..

Jeffries: "The average Social Security recipient in the US receives about $65 a day in benefits. Elon Musk in his contracts with the federal government gets about $8 million a day. If they were really interested in waste, fraud, and abuse, they would start there ... but they're going after grandma"

It's so tiresome how the same folks who claim to believe in the personal responsibility "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" ideology rally around a guy who had everything handed to him and takes responsibility for NOTHING.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." —FDR, 1937

Mike Johnson, a Kremlin spokesperson, had this to say today.
