E-bikes are one of the most amazing innovations of the 21st century, with enormous potential for Americans to save money, reduce pollution, and get healthier, so it makes total sense that they are in no way part of the high gas price discussion
Exclusive: The CDC delayed a report showing covid-19 vaccines reduced emergency visits and hospitalizations in healthy adults by half.
The move raises concerns about the Trump administration downplaying vaccine benefits. https://wapo.st/4sZ3ZOt
This video posted by Iran’s consulate in Hyderabad, which mocks Trump for his latest ceasefire extension, isn’t as sophisticated as the LEGO videos. But it still must drive Trump crazy! 🤣🤣
This is an example, one of many, as how women are viewed by maga cult men. Subservient & in the shadow of weak men
Doesn’t have to be this way. Hey, lets stop working for a consensus now that we can decide on our own what’s good for others. 🙄
That’s nice. A fresh start with someone on another basis is awesome.
Makes you remember that you’re so much more than just pictures. 🫶

But Republicans didn't steal Texas – even though the citizens of Texas weren't given an opportunity to vote on it?
WHEN CORRUPT POLITICIANS START GOING TO JAIL, THEN WE CAN START TRUSTING THE GOVERNMENT AGAIN.
The plan is to continue putting the pressure.
We only lose if we quit, so we won’t! 💪
Yes « worried » is a more accurate description than « amused »
But like the saying goes:
Sometimes things need to get worse before it can get better.
At least 17 people have died in ICE custody so far this year, part of President Trump's dramatic increase of immigration detention. "I have never seen anything like this, where I'm seeing ICE reporting out at least one death per week," says Setareh Ghandehari with @detentionwatchnetwork.org.
"ICE is determined to expand its capacity to detain people to more than 100,000 people at any given time, which is really a shocking number and parallel to the number of Japanese Americans that were incarcerated during World War II."
Don’t be fooled if you’re voting for the Green Party the second from top is not the actual Green Party they are a front for a right wing group in Scotland, don’t get caught out.
We are coming full circle, realizing that privatisation was a con! Bus companies fight over lucrative routes and cut services on loss making routes. Profits and dividends come first, not serving the community. Thatcher got it so wrong! When the motivation is money then the public suffer.
"The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet a lifetime is often not enough to rebuild. They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found." -Pope Leo XIV
This particularly resonates with me, when I see our precious science infrastructure get dismantled.
We have long road to recovery when Russel Vought et al. are out.
So much damage has been done within one year.
Heather Cox Richardson... brilliant and correct. A little scary that we're watching this unfold in real time.
What would say if I turned CPAC’s comments section into a 2000’s emo pop rock song 4 Virginia’s redistricting amendment?
Because I did. 💙
VOTE YES!
The DOJ is now 5 month in breach of releasing the Epstein files.
Holding these criminals accountable should be the Nuremberg of our time.
When essential services become profit centres, public trust erodes fast. Water is not a luxury good—it’s infrastructure for life. Giving citizens a direct say is not radical, it’s democratic correction when systems drift away from public interest.
In Passing By Lisel Mueller How swiftly the strained honey of afternoon light flows into darkness and the closed bud shrugs off its special mystery in order to break into blossom as if what exists, exists so that it can be lost and become precious

You tell them you love them, that you're there for them, tell them about good memories you've shared, hold their hand. Sometimes you don't say anything at all. Sometimes you just listen to them talk and that's the best thing to do.
How come having UBI would make us all lazy, but billionaires are supposedly hard-working and highly motivated?
1) They keep calling it “AI governance.” But the reality is procurement. A billion dollar contract can move faster than a law. And once the platform is installed, your rights become a feature request. Not a guarantee. Not a limit. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
10) Meanwhile the winners are obvious. Contractors get embedded. Agencies expand quietly. Platforms sell “solutions.” Politicians get to claim toughness without accountability. You get a society where being unflagged is treated like a privilege.
