Donald Trump combining in one week the worst crises of the Jimmy Carter (oil prices/inflation), Reagan (Iran-Contra), HW Bush (massive deficit), Clinton (Epstein-related), George W. Bush (Iraq debacle) Barack Obama (Libya) & Biden (the economy is fine/doddering) presidencies is quite an achievement

Don’t let mega-constellation-building billionaires steal your night sky Satellites are wonders of modern technology that have improved all of our lives. But having more than a million of them in orbit could destroy our view of the heavens and seriously damage our planet

Elon Musk has already started plans to launch a million satellites.

Yes. A MILLION.

This is a colossally bad idea, and it's not too late to make your voice heard. I explain everything:

I thought it was because we use a special blend during the winter to cut down on smog. It's worked. I can remember my chest hurting on the playground when I was a kid. My kids have heard of smog days but never experienced one.

I’m watching The Pitt, and it bothers me that they repeatedly show the doctors using hand sanitizer when they leave a room, but none of them wear a mask except for surgical procedures.

Pretty sure he will switch parties after the election, if he gets elected.

If you’re an American service member who gets killed in a retaliatory strike, your family can take comfort in the fact that it was done in service of making the host of Celebrity Apprentice feel like a big man for a minute, before he moved on to something else and forgets about this forever

It is 1991. I am 15 years old. The US has gone to war in the Middle East.

It is 2003. I am 27 years old. The US has gone to war in the Middle East.

It is 2026. I'm too old for this shit. The US has gone to war in the Middle East.

In less than a year, Trump erased 12 years of solvency for the trust fund that pays for Medicare Part A | Fortune The CBO estimates that benefit reductions would start at 8% in 2040 and steadily climb to a 10% cut by 2056.

Why isn't this a WAY bigger story? Planning to be retired in 2040? Or still alive and on Medicare any time after that? Good luck with your healthcare.

Blind Dad of 2 Is Found Dead After Being Released by Border Patrol and Left to Find His Way Home 5 Miles Away Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a refugee from Burma who was visually impaired and spoke limited English, was found dead on Tuesday, Feb. 24 in Buffalo, N.Y. after he was dropped off at a coffee shop by Border ...

This is truly some of the meanest shit I’ve ever heard of and I firmly believe the intended this to end with his death

The Rohingya have already survived one genocide, one driven by lies spread on Facebook. The horror show is now continuing here.

Electricity rates increased by 13% under Trump.

49 states and Washington, D.C. are already experiencing electricity and natural gas bill increases.

I tried them. They're not my favorite, and I probably wouldn't buy them again, but I think they're way better than the Adventurefuls. Those are awful!!!

Lenten Rosary For Victims of ICE.pdf

I get asked a lot what I'm giving up for Lent, and this year the answer is nothing. this is what I'm doing instead, and I'll tell you why, and you're invited to join in with me however it fits into your own spiritual or contemplative practices.

I keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.

The IRS before Trump:
—Improved customer service
—Saved us millions with Direct File
—Cracked down on wealthy tax cheats

The IRS after Trump:
—Leaking our data to DHS
—Cutting investigations into rich tax cheats
—Fired 20% of workforce
—Worse customer support

Happy tax season!

‘They pushed so many lies about recycling’: the fight to stop big oil pumping billions more into plastics Plastic production has doubled over the last 20 years – and will likely double again. For author Beth Gardiner, metal water bottles and canvas tote bags are not the solution. So what is?

“[People in the plastics industry] are very happy for us to look at ourselves and at each other, and not look at them,” says @bethgardiner.bsky.social, author of "Plastic Inc: Big Oil, Big Money and the Plan to Trash our Future."

yeah once you accept that being trans is fine actually it opens the door for everyone's bodily autonomy. Kids' rights, abortion access, healthcare, the mere existence of borders: all of it.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis

Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.

We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

Tax breaks for just four corporations—Amazon, Alphabet, Google, and Tesla—blew a $51 BILLION hole in the deficit last year.

Every penny being taken from healthcare, housing, childcare, and food assistance is paying for that.

This system is so screwed up.
