THIS IS A MUST-READ PIECE. Please share, off Bluesky as well as on it. Most people *do not understand* how harmful these short-sighted cuts are going to be - for our economic as well as our physical health. 🧪🛟🩺

Jeanie's comment and facial/body expressions were creepier than Moghedian's in 208. I hope she gets more quality screen time.

Elon is wrong a lot and sometimes it’s because he’s ignorant and sometimes it’s because he’s lying and sometimes it’s because he would rather turn his ignorance into an attack than admit he’s wrong. Sort of like Trump. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

I don't think Sarah succeeded in unscrewing JVL out of the ceiling. I am curious how you believe a population that has no interest in learning can be taught that what is going on is wrong? The media they imbibe doesn't allow for the truth. How do you get them to see media with the truth?
