Why pay tax when you can send Katy Perry to space for 11 minutes? 📍 Amazon store, London

Good job @channel4news.bsky.social High time the dangers of flea collars received attention @cannelledemontaigu.bsky.social They were highlighted 4years ago by @davegoulson.bsky.social in Silent Earth @cherry-b.bsky.social @songbirdsurvival.bsky.social #ornithology www.channel4.com/news/scienti...

Sen Van Hollen met with El Salvador's Vice President Félix Ulloa, who told him that the reason they are holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia at CECOT is because the Trump admin is paying them to do so. They also provided no evidence that Abrego Garcia is part of MS-13 or committed any crimes.

“Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy,” said Captain G M Gilbert, the army psychologist assigned to watching the Nazis on trial at Nuremberg. Just in case you were wondering what to call it.

Saturday springtime, bliss.

Remembering early morning sun on a run this week. Life affirming.

Too many members of Congress keep letting us down. This is about more than opposing Trump’s bad nominees — it’s about treating this administration like the authoritarian threat it is and using every inch of power to fight back: indivisible.org/campaign/tru...

This is a great idea!

Meta has added yet another Trump advisor to the board, this time Dina Powell McCormick. Like TwitterX, just another part of the propaganda arm of the MAGA Reich now.

The Trump administration is moving to cancel lawfully obtained Social Security numbers in an effort to pressure immigrants to “self deport” by cutting people off from financial services like bank accounts and credit cards, along with access to government benefits. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...

do i have this right? China imposes 84% tariffs on US imports after Trumps 104% tariffs went into effect; Trump tooted for people to "BE COOL" and "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY"; 2 hours later he pauses tariffs on most countries for 90-days; stocks shoot up; Trump raises tariffs on china to 125%.

Almost a dozen hatcheries in Puget Sound are in limbo because a single NOAA employee was terminated by DOGE in February. That employee was Krista Finlay and her job at NOAA was to ensure hatcheries complied with the Endangered Species Act before the fish were released into Puget Sound. Read more:

Doug Tallamy is an entomologist, author and arguably the father of the modern native plants movement.

Fascists want normal people to feel alone. They want us all to feel at their mercy. But what #handsoff demonstrated is that we are not mere victims of political events. Democracy is a participatory sport, and we are active participants.

Hello—I’m trying to help heal a river: the wild, spectacular Mutehekau Shipu in Nitassinan/Quebec. We're raising funds to clean up a junk-heap we found c.100 miles up the system.

Discrimination has made it harder for Black people in the Los Angeles area to buy and keep their homes. It has also made them more vulnerable to wildfires, as seen when Altadena burned #LAFires

This is funny. And the serious problem with the NYT is it misinforms about reality. Not with inaccuracy so much as emphasis, perspective, and framing. That makes it a bad news source. Go to the Guardian, or Wired, or others/ independent sources. You don't need the NYT or LA Times, or WaPo.

Massive #HandsOff rallies across the country 🔥🔥🔥

Morning Bluesky. Russia is pushing the idea that the extraordinarily successful Hands Off protests yesterday were organised by the ‘Deep State’ to bring about a ‘Colour Revolution’ in America like the one that overthrew the Putin puppet in Ukraine in 2004. Expect Trump to echo.

"When was the last time you said 'thank you,' Mr. Penguin?"

This is a very thoughtful, insightful, and for me, relatable piece of writing. The challenges of caring about climate change balanced with living a life in this world are expressed really well.

The IRS unit that audits ultrawealthy earners has lost 38% of its employees this year. This will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163B a year. See what DOGE is really about?
