NEW from me: Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company is operating 35 gas turbines without any pollution permits, belching asthma-worsening emissions into an area that leads Tennessee in ER visits for asthma. www.eenews.net/articles/elo...

Oh no, not a Trump supporting Facebook friend posting a plea to continue to support her small business as prices rise 👀

oh hey welcome to your trial, blackshirts

About 140 people came out to protest in Crossville, Tennessee, which voted nearly 80 percent for Trump. Lots of honks of support. Wherever you are, you are not alone. I promise.

These protests are important but they 100 percent need more fun party vibes. Like, if I'm spending every other Saturday protesting, I'm gonna need some good tunes to bop to and snacks to share after.

Say Sheeple Like It's A Good Thing Apr 18, 2025 @acshilton.bsky.social You are a maker of good trouble. You are too strong to be worn weary by those who want you to be a little less loud, a little less you, a little more like them. — Juliet, who turned four this […] [Original post on sfba.social]

Good job Buford!! Love these big guardian dogs. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Inject this directly into my veins.

Chris Murphy is fabulously kind. 😍 "Everybody here has to decide how much energy they're going to put in to trying to fight for that world. Because you were so bold & courageous, I bet everybody in this room is going to work a little bit harder to make the world you're asking us to believe in."

Ready for the next march

See, I wouldn't have had to moonlight as a paid protester if y'all hadn't catered my retirement savings.

Question: a Trump supporter is saying the "tariffs are dropping like flies." Does this mean that Trump is dropping tariffs? Or she thinks other countries are capitulating?

Don't watch the stock market, watch a baby goat try to figure out a hammock

My baby normally only sleeps for 90 minute stretches at night, but after going to a protest yesterday, he miraculously only woke up one time last night, so....I guess we are going to protests every day now.

True story, I was holding a "trans rights are human rights" sign today and a woman in a MAGA hat came up and started yelling in my face about groomers even as the six month old in my arms started crying. Remember this next time establishment Dems say it's mean to call them "weird."

Excited for all the new American banana and coffee factories.

Ready for baby's first protest tomorrow.

Major shoutout to local National Weather Service offices who have issued literally hundreds and hundreds of tornado / severe thunderstorm / flood warnings in just the past 36 hours alone. Most offices are doing this amid staff shortages. SPC / WPC teams doing amazing work, too. Scientists matter.

One of my Hearst Connecticut colleagues, Mike Gagne, is looking for help. His partner has a serious liver disease and needs a transplant from a living donor. Read this message from Mike for more info, and please share widely if you can. #nutmegsky

Tiny bee says: hang in there, Sen. Booker!

Journalists: Are you already seeing a chilling effect from academics being afraid to speak to you? I'm working on a story that is on a semi-controversial topic for a pub with good name recognition and it's like crickets. Spring break or something else?

Everyone warns you the first 8 weeks with a new baby are so hard, but no one tells you about the total draining of your soul you'll experience after 6 months of chronic sleep deprivation.
