What?!?! The EPA has drafted a plan to eliminate all pollution controls from coal and gas-fired power plants. The agency claims these plants “do not contribute significantly” to dangerous pollution or climate change, arguing their emissions are a small and declining share of global totals.

Kinda surprised to see this on Netflix. Check out “Buy Now: The Shopping Conspiracy” on Netflix

Today Republicans on the Ways and Means Committee advanced a bill to cut taxes for the rich while raising taxes for many working Americans. Democrats fought for 17+ hours to protect Americans’ health care, lower costs, and support working people, while Republicans fought to protect the wealthy.

Beautiful Maine evening

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

First full day in Greenville Maine, here for a long weekend. Brought along a #knitting project to learn to join as I go miter squares.

A little weekend away.

Republicans inherited one of the strongest stock markets in history and in 1 month they've fucked it all up.

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

RFK Jr., brainworm-addled snake oil salesman, is pushing for Vitamin A as a preventative measure against measles. This can be dangerous. Most Americans have adequate levels of vitamin A, and it is easy to overdose. It can be toxic. The best way to prevent Measles is through vaccinations.

I wanted to comment on a trend that I see when I post these collages. Almost immediately, someone will say "Why do you have "X" person in this collage?! "Y" person is SO much more deserving" It's almost always a woman who comments with that. #WomensHistoryMonth

Malala Yousafzai, (1997) born in Mingora, Pakistan, is the youngest-ever Nobel Peace Prize laureate. As a young girl, she defied the Taliban’s ban on education for girls by attending school and advocating for her right to learn and risking her life for an education. #WomensHistoryMonth

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people: 18f.org

I stand with Ukraine.

Thread worth seeing

🚨Trump & Musk have fired more Veterans than any administration in our lifetime. Tomorrow at 2:30PM ET, we’re telling their stories. Join MG (Ret.) Paul Eaton, Sen. Tammy Duckworth, AG Nick Brown, Pat Young & impacted Vets for a town hall. RSVP: act.votevets.org/signup/250225_vv_c4_em_townhall/

It takes a special kind of stupid to think that we should eliminate education, healthcare programs, natural disaster aid, clean air and water programs, monitoring of nursing home abuse, criminal investigations, nuclear reactor regulation, and cancer research.

Trump can fuck all the way off. He doesn’t get to rewrite history. “Take these seeds and put them in your pockets, so at least sunflowers [Ukrainian national flower] will grow when you all lie down here.” — Ukrainian Woman to Russian soldiers. Russia invaded Ukraine, February 24, 2022.

Our tax dollars are funneled into corporate bailouts, billionaire tax breaks, and destructive wars without a second thought, but when a low-income family uses food stamps to buy a decent meal, you’re suddenly a budget hawk? Come on, bro, shut the fuck up and go after the REAL waste.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

I’ve just finished the ‘Allegiance to Gratitude’ chapter of “Braiding Sweetgrass”. So powerful, life changing. Incredulous that so many USAmericans have read this and are not affected. 💙📚
