So well stated and true.
I'll just say that a guy joking about being a tough guy and holding hands with another guy so they can make a PSA about flu shots is so obviously one thousand times more studly than our idiotic defense secretary who thinks it's about pushups and making fun of beards.

Fantastic and enlightening book.
I would recommend reading “Crossings” by @bengoldfarb.bsky.social if you want to understand how bad roads are for ecology.
The Forest Service had begun to remove roads that were no longer in use to boost the ecological usefulness of forest tracts

Trump wants to let special interests build over our protected forests—and we need to fight back to stop it.

Alway remember and never forget their complicity. …. How will you vote in November?
Every Republican in Congress owns what Trump has done, is doing and is going to do. The vast majority of it would not have been possible without their collective acquiescence and enabling. He’s emboldened by the fact that Congress refuses to function as a separate branch of govt.

So next time someone tells you Canada’s fires can be solved by “raking the forests“, you can point out that the thing filling their sky with smoke is a lightning-struck, drought-primed boreal forest doing what a warming climate is making it do more and more often.
Canada's boreal wildfires aren't just bad forest management
Higher fire season temperatures are strongly correlated with increased area burned

Tax the rich and fix Social Security.
Murray: Is it true that people making under $184,000 pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate?
Dahl: Yes.
Murray: And what is the rate for someone making $1,000,000?
Dahl: 2.2%.

The Pallets Come Full Circle. If it was a scandal when Obama returned $1.7 billion of Iran’s money, what is it when Trump negotiates the return of billions more?”

@radiofreetom.bsky.social is exactly right. Make sure you get the independent vote along with Democratic voter turnout. MAGA will be MAGA. Turnout in November will tell us if we still have a Democracy in December.
It is exhausting trying to explain to the purists that the Democrats do not have to win MAGA voters in rural red states. They just have to peel off single-digit changes among indies, and get some of their own centrist voters to come back to the fold.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end.

On this Tax Day a reminder that Trump has levied one of the largest tax increases on the American people in history through his tariffs, illegally, without Congressional authorization, as a first step in a broader strategy to continue shifting the tax burden from the wealthy to all of us.

This is terrible for Americans and also hurts national security. Increasing the military budget won’t defeat Iran. What is actually called for — under a sane government — would be a systematic defense review with an eye to less expensive systems that are suited to modern war. (1/4)
Trump: "The US can't take of daycare. That has to be up to a state. We're fighting wars. Medicaid, Medicare -- they can do it on a state basis. We have to take care of one thing: military protection. But all these little scams that have taken place, you have to let states take care of them."

The first American pope has declined — days after rejecting President Trump’s “Board of Peace” invitation.
On July 4, he’ll be in Lampedusa, standing with migrants.
