A song (about trickle down economics).

Someone in the comments said, "Become ungovernable" and these birds and that maxim gave me a smidgen of hope today.

US agency proposes rolling back rules for safe disposal of toxic coal ash Advocates warn changes could increase risks of pollutants contaminating water and exposure to toxic waste

The coal industry would rather maximize profits than protect people from getting sick from exposure to the heavy metals and pollutants in coal ash.

Thank you to every farm worker for keeping us all fed. You matter more than Coachella. ❤️

Palantir Paid $0 in Federal Income Tax in 2025 While Raking in Taxpayer Funds to Surveil Americans Its $0 tax bill comes despite the company raking in $1.6 billion and landing a $10 billion military contract last year.

I paid more in federal income tax in 2025 than Palantir while taking in no taxpayer funds to surveil Americans. Also I did not surveil Americans. Nor people from any country.

Wow a universal beaver policy, maybe?

So much arguing about this straightforward fact.

Consumers urged to ‘completely avoid’ UK-caught cod as population plunges Marine Conservation Society warns that fish numbers have reached dangerous point of decline

Obviously did not learn anything from Canada: complete collapse of northern cod in 1992, billions in compensation, major job losses, cod stock still have not recovered. Weirdly, it is never presented as a cost of not using ecology to drive policy. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Fish are remarkably resilient! If we give them their healthy habitat back, they will use it. But there is only so much they can take, and I’m not sure we realize how much we need them in all ways. We are managing them into extinction to our own existential detriment.

People are still trying to sell trickle down by repackaging it in different language. It is still trickle down, and it still doesn't work.

Sound on!

Another way to help is to share the fundraiser widely in your networks on and offline. Thank you ❤️

Hasan Piker Has a Few Choice Words for His Bad-Faith Critics The centrist group Third Way accuses the popular progressive streamer of being a “Jew-hater.” His record, and an interview with TNR, prove he’s the opposite of an antisemite.

If people are trying to scare you about Hasan Piker, read this and go listen to him directly. He's not scary.

(Also psst: The people doing the scaremongering don't have our best interests in mind.)

We are reckless.

Rice’s whales predate modern humans. Now Trump could make them extinct The US has invoked national security to remove protections for the endangered cetacean, of which only about 50 are left

The idea that we need to destroy the homes of other species to satisfy our own desires is arrogant and widespread, even in the Pacific Northwest where we like to think otherwise.

U.S. Forest Service unveils extensive closures of research facilities Cost-cutting move is expected to cause resignations and turmoil

What will happen to the 82 USFS experimental forests around the country? Many sites have decades-long experiments that are tracking how forests are changed by timber harvesting practices and climate change. As I say here, “you can't just pick up an experimental forest site and move it to SLC.”

I think that's what you call a not-so-positive feedback. 🌊
