who has a book coming out that people can preorder so they have something to look forward to and then be pleasantly surprised when the book just shows up on their doorstep

One hopes images like this, when paired with the knowledge that everything we burn ends up in that tiny slice of gasses, would help contextualize why we need to move away from energy sources we set on fire.

One hopes. Climate communicators should make some hay of this.

Rebecca Solnit Says the Left’s Next Hero Is Already Here

"I think the counter to Trump always has been and always will be civil society. A lot of the left wants social change to look like the French Revolution or Che Guevara. Maybe changing the world is more like caregiving than it is like war."- @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I cannot imagine the devastation this family is experiencing today. This statement is powerful and must be read.

Thou shalt not threaten Greenland and crash the economy just to protect billionaire pedophiles.

Text in image reads: “We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done,” journalist Garrett Graff wrote: “A superpower is [dying by] suicide because the [Republican] Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.”

As with any of @hcrichardson.bsky.social's newsletters, the whole thing is worth your time, but this quote alone (see image) was enough to stop me cold for a few seconds. Let it sink in.

It’s been 29 days since 100% of the Epstein files were supposed to be fully released. Thus far less than 1% of heavily redacted and unexplained files have been released.

1/ Last week, the FDA announced it’s removing the black box warning from menopause hormone therapy (MHT). This is long overdue. Menopause is universal, yet misunderstood and stigmatized. Millions of women have suffered because of fear, misinformation, and a system that wasn’t built to support them.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Sixty-five years ago today, four first-graders desegregated New Orleans's public schools: Ruby Bridges at William Frantz Elementary School, and Leona Tate, Tessie Provost, and Gail Etienne at McDonogh 19 Elementary School. They faced violent mobs and threats to their lives. They were 6 years old. 🗃

Why Anti-Voting Activists Are Using the Pennsylvania Supreme Court Election to Spread Disinformation Read about the fight for democracy from activists, elected officials, legal experts and others.

PA voters will cast their ballots in one of the most consequential elections of the year: the state Supreme Court race. With three Democratic justices up for retention, the outcome of this contest could flip control of a court that decides election laws. https://bit.ly/3JeB3Ax

“Everyone’s smiling in cities with troops.” Oh good, we finally nailed the North Korea aesthetic.

Today in Politics Chat, I talked about how power sloshes around when a president is checked out, and noted that right now unelected officials like Stephen Miller are trying to grab it. But instead, We the People can take it back and create a better nation.

"If we lose hope, we're doomed."

We must continue Dr. Jane Goodall's mission and all fight for the future of the planet.

I didn’t know this was happening.

That’s a problem. But it is!

Dear @apnews.com

The republicans control congress. Democrats did not vote down anything. If the GOP wanted to fund the government, they could have changed the rules to pass a CR with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to approve 48 trump appointees at once.

Fix your headline.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

I can't get over how the right-wing doesn't understand modern militaries, with the majority serving non-combat roles. You think the best IT security & logistics personnel spends two hours in the gym every day to look like the cast of 300? They're at furry conventions and model train shows.

The reason we have rules of engagement isn’t to keep warfighters from killing our enemies.

It’s to keep them from killing a farmer with a shovel bc they thought it was a rifle and didn’t bother to wait to check.

Or a family in a car bc the driver looked nervous.

Or a boat full of fishermen.
