I hope for the best for all the teachers in most American states today. It's the first school day after daylight savings time, and you're all about to have a bunch of tired, cranky kids, forced to start entering your classrooms, not wanting to engage in anything.

Hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, and discrimination are viruses, magnified by suffering, carried in buckets, spilled onto the world.

We cannot eliminate them by actions that magnify hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, discrimination and suffering - only by actions that relieve them.

Americans love blaming any increase in gas prices on the president, and it’s usually not the president’s faultβ€”because no one controls gas pricesβ€”but this time the increase in gas prices really is the president’s fault, directly caused by his entirely unnecessary policy choice.

i hate war. i cry tears for the innocent dead. there's no need for any of what's happening. there's no proper consequences nor accountability. the citizens of neither the aggressors nor the victim states want this. the false narratives of "strong men" and preemptive strikes for peace are so hollow.

I'm trying to avoid commenting on the news for my own mental health but I still feel the need to comment on that "a state just legally codified the literal dehumanization of an entire class of people" feels like it should be blasting the headlines, and yet... nothing

ReJoule’s second-life electric vehicle battery energy storage system gives used batteries a powerful second act that outlasts many new utility-scale storage systems.

EPIC is funded by California utility customers under the auspices of the @californiapuc.bsky.social.

James Talarico: Jesus gave us two commandments: love God and love neighbor.

There was no exception to that second commandment regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status, or religious affiliation.

James Talarico: β€œThis is the party that ran against cancel culture, and now they are trying to control what we watch, what we say, and what we read.

This is the most dangerous kind of cancel culture β€” the kind that comes from the top."

It seems that most politicians are sponsored by groups like AIPAC and the Heritage Foundation, so these politicians are going to serve the sponsor, and not the citizens. A democracy WILL NOT WORK unless these sponsorships are limited and made public, IF that is possible.

Opinion | I’m a South Carolina pediatrician. This measles outbreak was preventable. Dr. Annie Andrews: I’m a pediatrician β€” and a measles outbreak is surging in my home state of South Carolina. This was all preventable, and we need to be honest about how we got here.

A really important read from my friend @drannieandrews.com. If like me you are concerned about public health, then pay attention to Annie. If you live in South Carolina, you have a choice. Please vote for Annie.

It's great to live in a country (Canada, Japan, UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, etc.) where citizens don't worry about if the next election will be canceled, if they will be allowed to register to vote, if they will have to stand in line for hours to vote, or if their vote will be counted.

We should all be willing to allow Russia to lose its entire army in futile attacks on Pokrovsk. This will destroy Russia as a superpower threat, lowering the overall cost of national defense costs for much of the world & preventing Putin's future war plans. If Russians want to die for Putin, let 'em

Hey folks! @skyladawn.ca is at the emergency vet clinic with the fourth emergency in four months.

This appointment is probably going to cost ~$500 so I'd like us to try to cover as much of it as possible. This is going to be a thread on how to help.

Lordddd...

No one is saying that progressive candidates are bad.

No one is saying socialist candidates are bad.

But we are saying that Burlington Jesus, Nina Turner, and David Hogg are shitty people to have in your corner.

We are also saying...

Didn't disrespect the Black voters.

I WIL NOT be silenced. EVER. I stand by the Oath I took in defense of our constitution, our nation. Our right to free speech is hard won in blood & treasure. NO ONE will stop me from speaking out against traitors, tyranny & autocracy. It is what our founder's demanded of us as citizens. RESIST!

I found another cat half alive....taking it to the vet. I haven't seen it before.

If they survive the trip I may set up a permanent go fund me or some kind of consistent revenue to try and get all these cats taken care of....I don't know what else to do other than let them die.

Corporate media WANTS the GOP in charge FOREVER. That is why you barely hear about the plan to seize all the ballots in Dem areas in Nov 2026. It is going to happen unless we AGGRESSIVELY fight back.

A lone seabird stands on a weathered concrete edge near a pier, its dark silhouette clearly defined against a pale sky and calm water, emphasizing form, balance, and stillness.

A lone seabird stands on a weathered concrete edge near a pier, its dark silhouette clearly defined against a pale sky and calm water, emphasizing form, balance, and stillness.

A lone bird near the pier, stripped down to shape and posture against a simple background. Coastal stillness, held in place for a moment.

If scenes like this slow you down, sharing it helps it travel.
