After citing Trump's tariffs as an excuse for mass layoffs, automaker Stellantis is rewarding shareholders with a $2.26B payout. Big corporations will use any cover they can — like inflation or tariffs — to pad profits and line their pockets at workers expense. Know the truth.

Folks always ask me what stories aren’t getting enough attention. Pay attention to India and Pakistan - this is the most tense situation in several years and has the potential to spiral out of control if cooler heads don’t prevail.

When the #Florida Pregnancy Care Network refused to comply with a request from Gov. Ron DeSastrous to spend marketing $$$ on his campaign to defeat pro-abortion Amendment 4, the governor sought to place the contract for the network up for bid. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025...

THIS IS WILD‼️ Florida got $67M from a Medicaid fraud settlement. Instead of using it for actual health care, Casey DeSantis funneled $10M to a “charity” she controls. That “charity” passed it to anti-abortion and anti-marijuana groups—who then helped fund GOP campaigns. Both measures lost!

Right!??🙃

Staple this to RFK Jr’s forehead.

meanwhile, prominent pundits continue to deny that there the administration adheres to a segregationist ideology

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Winter In Derbyshire, 1985: a painting by my dad, Mick.

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

idk who needs to see this but here is the photo that appears on the american pika's wikipedia page

A funny one from this morning's misty sunrise on Glastonbury Tor. At first glance it looks like someone diving over the sun into the mist below. It is actually a bird heading straight for me and yes I did duck although I am sure it would have missed me. 😂

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Here’s a recent watercolour painting of shrimp boats from the MillCove docks in Apalachicola, FL Done on location over 3 or maybe 4 evenings, I lost count. #pleinair #fishingboats #boatsinharbour

Moon 20250407 While observing birds, I spotted the moon to the east and decided to capture it as well. The image has some noise, which I intentionally left because I feel it reveals more detail compared to a smoothed-out version. April 7 Waxing Gibbous Illumination: 75% #moon

This may be the most beautiful sign I have seen at one of these (even though the subject matter is so ugly). The artist who painted it said she started it feeling angry and it was therapeutic. Especially love the bling. #HandsOffLA

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

BREAKING - U.S. team in quake zone told they are fired, per source. The 3-person disaster assessment team sent to Myanmar for the U.S. received termination notices while staying/sleeping outside — US AID workers were told on an all hands call today, per a source familiar.

"The charity arm of Hope #Florida, launched by first lady Casey DeSantis, hasn’t told state lawmakers...about its activities or structure as required in state statutes. It also appears not to have filed its federal tax returns." www.tampabay.com/news/florida... via @tampabaytimes.bsky.social

Our former presidents must step up. We are in insane times.

That asshole’s admin admitted that it mistakenly deported someone to El Salvador due to an administrative error, and won’t do shit to bring him back. That kind of “admin error,” means literally anyone who isn’t white could be disappeared into a hell hole for no reason without any recourse. ANYONE!

Give me it. ❤️

For her project 'Within 15 Minutes', artist Alma Haser made identical jigsaw puzzles out of portraits she’d taken of identical twins and then swapped every other piece when putting them together, creating fragmented portraits #womensart

I wish I could find the artist's name. Love this painting of "pussy willows". I did a copy of it in watercolour and gave it to a friend, as it's so darn cute. Happy today everyone. Whatever might be going on in your life, know that you're not alone. And the beauty of the world is still there.

I had gotten tired of the Bernie memes but have to admit, this one really works.
