97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

No Kings! No Dictators! No fascist regimes!

Confuse TF out of the orcs. Take back your flag, America! No Kings!

Yikes

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called the lack of healthy food options on Native reservations a “genocide.” But the Trump administration ended a program that helped provide fresh, locally produced food for tribal food banks, saying the program no longer aligned with its priorities.

I sure as hell didn’t.

Public broadcasting is a cornerstone of our democracy. Attacks on @NPR and @PBS are attacks on truth, education, and the free exchange of ideas. These institutions inform, uplift, and unite Americans—especially those underserved by corporate media. I stand with public media.

If as President you answer “I don’t know” when asked if you’ll follow the Constitution, you have violated your oath of office and should be removed.

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS. Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!” Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

💥 🧪 Take Action!! Call Your Reps & Others in Congress!!

I hope #MAGA acolytes know defunding #science 🧪 means more than defunding scientists. Universities employ entire communities. Landscapers, catering, custodians, cafeteria workers, entire procurement/delivery chains, electricians, plumbers, contractors… This is bad for all of us. Call your reps!

"Milnesium tardigradum has endured all 5 previous planetary extinction events…The mighty, microscopic tardigrades give us hope. Noticing invertebrates is one small step in recognising that (...) we share our planet with a wondrous multitude of life and must do better to live gently alongside them."

“One gram of moss from the forest floor, a piece about the size of a muffin, would harbour 150,000 protozoa, 132,000 tardigrades, 3000 springtails, 800 rotifers, 500 nematodes, 400 mites, and 200 fly larvae. These numbers tell us something about the astounding quantity of life in a handful of moss.”

I know I do.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

For security reasons we don’t post on TikTok or Meta platforms. But we applaud everyone speaking out. These cuts hurt all Americans.

As our health institutions are razed and corporate America is empowered to raise every cost, a KN95 mask remains one of the cheapest things you can do to remain healthy (and protect your community). Do not let anyone tell you that you cannot wear a mask. Esp in healthcare facilities.
