It turned out that things like morals, empathy and dignity are like trees---they take decades to grow. They can also be clear cut just like trees: when ppl are doused daily with fear, bigotry and hate. *Please credit work of artists whose work you post!

It started with everyone being fine with throwing immune compromised under the Covid bus ...on their way to brunch.

Full on apathy and don't give AF led to this mess.

Wearing a mask to protect others was just too "weird".

I'm serious when I say I've lost track of all the recent revelations of literal Nazis working in high-level positions in Republican congressional campaigns and I would very much appreciate a journalist who took the time to detail as many of them as can fit into an article.
Ossoff: "Then there's the ex-staffer posting swastikas and Klan regalia. And the neo-Nazi with a million followers who produces neo-Nazi propaganda at Collins's house ... a man who won't take responsibility for what happens under his own roof can't be trusted with our national affairs."

Not a mask in sight.
Covid is still with us.
Public health isn't.

Just another day for snake oil chiroquacks to make a buck off of ppl over on Meta.
Early on in Covid we watched a plethora of chiros across our region deny existence of Covid and discourage ppl from masking or getting vaccinations.

So tired of the erosion of public health via SM.

Because ignoring it, and pretending you aren’t adding another bullet to your Covid roulette gun every time you get an infection, is part of the denialism 80% of this country is living in.

"Instead of giving up, scientists and UN officials recommend trying to limit excessive warming and then bring the temperature back down to the agreed-upon threshold. But it still will mean decades of increased weather-related disasters, rising seas, extinctions and melting ice and glaciers."

A report on the
“Effect of HEPA filtration
air purifiers on cognition,”
showed they improved cognition
for middle-aged and older adults,
which is a reminder
that instead of trying to build
“machines that think,”
we could instead build
machines that improve our cognition.

If you live in a state with wild horses, tell your governor to be like AZ Governor Katie Hobbs & shut down the wild horse slaughter pipeline.

Also AZ, Katie Hobbs is a keeper. Get ready to vote for her again in 70 days! She is a fearless fighter for AZ!

Meta has opened the spigots for the bigots on their platforms. They've opened the gates of hates on their platforms. The guys and gals who barely finished high school are proudly giving medical advice on Meta.

OB-GYN Mark Mulholland was repeatedly accused of sexual misconduct.

But once the state medical board filed charges, it waited six weeks to announce it, allowing the doctor to keep seeing patients.

One woman alleges he abused her during that period.

Thomson Reuters, which owns news agency Reuters, has signed a $125M deal giving ICE access to its databases of personal data.

USA Today has partnered with Palantir to gain "actionable intelligence" on its audiences.

The media should be opponents of Trump's police state — not collaborators.

Minnesota will stand as a firewall against any and all attacks on reproductive freedom.

We were the first state to establish an ironclad right to abortion after the Dobbs decision and we will remain an island of freedom for those seeking to make their own healthcare decisions.
Acting AG Todd Blanche plans to outlaw abortion nationwide:

We're working to get solutions so that the Dobbs decision becomes permanent in every single state. We're putting policies in place so that states can't do things like mail abortion drugs. We will have victory, and it will be permanent.

When it comes to Trump’s money laundering, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

The Trump Soho laundered Russian mob money.

Trump Panama laundered drug cartel money.

Trump Azerbaijan laundered Iranian Revolutionary Guard money.

Florida real estate was used to launder Russian oligarch money.

Thank you! At an event last night I said "If the word hope doesn't work for you try, 'Never fucking surrender.'" The word hope seems too sunny to a lot of people, but the heart of it as I'm interested in it is: we make the future in the present, if we show up, and that never surrender part.
