Pro: Earth and Ocean. Anti: hate and greed.
I'm by no means competent to critique this, but it is definitely worth watching in spite of the constant ad interruptions.

Shelters nationwide are overflowing. I know budgets are tight right now ... but if you can, please adopt a shelter dog. Some of them might have a little baggage from previous mistreatment, but the love and gratitude you'll get from an orphaned dog is beyond amazing. It'll feed your soul.

The richest man owns X.

The second and fourth richest men control Google.

The third richest man owns The Washington Post.

The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

And now the seventh richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

Abdul El-Sayed is a Rhodes Scholar who has two Doctorates (Medicine from Columbia and a PhD in Public Health from Oxford) who was a 16 year old high school student in suburban Detroit when 9/11 happened, and I'm curious what possible logic is behind this post other than abject racism.
Absolutely insane post

Upbuilding and constructive instead of tearing down and destructive. I like this much better.

Claims that immigrants are responsible for measles outbreaks are a lie. 94% of US measles cases are in unvaccinated people. Contact tracing shows a majority of imported measles cases are in unvaccinated US residents returning from travel. The cause of measles outbreaks is anti-vax disinformation.

I'm not going to stop supporting prison and police abolition, for the same reason I won't stop supporting Palestine, for the same reason I won't stop supporting reparations and Landback.

I don't think these things will happen tomorrow, or next week, or next year.

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.

Overnight, russia attacked Zaporizhzhia with drones. One man was killed, 7 more people were injured.

A hostel, a furniture store, a home. These are the "military targets" of russia's terror over one night in Zaporizhzhia.

Help strengthen the defense of Ukraine's sky.

I think it says something about the Alberta separatist movement that they follow the Forever Canadian unity bus around, trying to start fights

It says that they are a bunch of bullies and that their notion of an independent Alberta can't stand up to scrutiny & is not valid

When they go low, we go high.

Volunteers and supporters, please don’t get provoked by separatists who now follow the Unity Bus and show up at our pop-up events.

Let’s stay focused on the prize - UNITY. That’s the #ForeverCanadian way.

As far as my administration is concerned, the fight for the future of the Boundary Waters is over. The verdict is in. The decision is made. We will protect this place.
