BREAKING: Elon Musk's rocket explosion nearly hit a commercial flight. This kind of content is being downranked on X. Please share it here. This is so dangerous.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Beavers are ecosystem engineers, creating wetlands and habitats for other wildlife like nightingales, voles, frogs and dragonflies. Nonlethal tools called “beaver deceivers” can mitigate potential flooding. #rewilding corrects the harms done by eradicating beavers www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

While the bird flu gets worse and egg prices skyrocket, Trump’s team fired employees who were working on the bird flu response. Now, they’re frantically trying to reverse course. This is the opposite of efficiency.

My colleagues and I have been working to break news + write stories holding powerful people accountable. These are the top stories on our homepage right now, one of which I worked on. Our newsroom work is continuing. No one has ever told me what to write. If that changes, I’d speak out and leave.

Surprise, surprise: Donald Trump's pick for Education Secretary wants to abolish the entire Education Department. Students will pay the price.

Stephen Feinberg is the nominee for second-in-command at the Pentagon. His “qualifications”? -No relevant government or military experience -Major conflicts of interest through his investments in defense contractors -Drove 8 Massachusetts hospitals to bankruptcy

“Trump is opening the floodgates for conflicts of interest and exploiting his power in office in the hopes of making billions of dollars on the backs of taxpayers,” Lisa Gilbert, co-president of the government watchdog group Public Citizen.

Russian negotiators are trying to entice President Trump to make concessions to Putin that will make us all less safe. Congress should oppose irresponsible attempts to unwind measures that keep the pressure on Russia to end its war.

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

Over 1,000 people showed up in Framingham to make clear that we’re fired up and ready to fight back against every terrible policy Donald Trump and Elon Musk throw at us. 📸 John Walker

An #NIH-funded research team has developed an mRNA vaccine to treat pancreatic cancer. Results from the clinical trial were published this week in Nature. #pancreas #cancer #mRNA #vaccine #medsky #science #medicine #bluesky

"For us, snow leopards are deities who protect the ecosystem of the mountains. But there must be an alternative source of income that compensates for [livestock] losses." How local women are spearheading snow leopard conservation solutions in Himalayan Nepal. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

i think it is cool that de facto first consul of the united states is a drug-addled maniac and deadbeat dad with a breeding fetish

Tonight, Senate Republicans are charging ahead with their budget proposal. They’re making clear who matters to them: billionaires and giant corporations.  And who does not: working families.

Hundreds of wolves are killed each year in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service predicts that rampant wolf killing under state laws could reduce the region's wolf population from an estimated 2,534 wolves to as few as 667. These wolves need protection. Take action. ⬇️

On Tuesday, Senate Democrats will investigate the Trump-Musk attack on American consumers. I'm inviting Elon Musk. He owes the American people answers on why he’s trying to shut down the financial cop on the beat that prevents big corporations from cheating Americans.

Today in “restoring ecosystems to fix the biodiversity and climate crises instead of praying to the wizard for expensive technofixes” news: Reintroducing wolves will help expand woodlands and sequester carbon. Their whole job is culling deer. For free. www.forestryjournal.co.uk/news/2494003...

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

Please could I ask a question of AI out there? Am I just AI?

Have they really given Trump a large crayon disguised as a pen to sign the executive orders?

World corporate buyout. Why does no-one seem to think it wrong that after seemingly buying a president an unelected corporation/rich person can start trying to buy into other countries running? What is up with people?

Why is Etsy having a 30% Black Friday sale. Their ISP is hand crafted items. Skilled vendors put time and care into each item, minimal margins. It will sideline quality producers and display cheap tat from China. In the long term it will drive away customers. It is such short sighted greed.
