My dream of working for the national Park service or the EPA is out the window tho with this admin.
However, if I ever did get hired I would definitely help the resistance. I will help with a mutiny.
I want a national park job. I want an EPA job. I graduate in a week with my masters in environmental engineering. I've got a BS in biology and another one in environmental engineering.
THE WORST PART IS THE PEOPLE WITH THE LEAST AMOUNT OF MONEY ARE THE PEOPLE THAT NEED THESE SERVICES THE MOST AND CANNOT AFFORD IT.
No hate to creators who take sponsors, I get the need for money. My issue is that basic privacy has become something you have to buy, instead of something the law is supposed to guarantee.
That’s capitalism in its purest form:
manufacture the risk, monetize the anxiety.
And the worst part? Not everyone can afford those protections. So the people with the least money have the least privacy, while the companies and scammers keep winning.
Scammers help keep consumers buying their product, That's why scammers are often never found and there's often no justice when people are scammed. The reason why the law doesn't do much about scammers.
Now look at data privacy. Instead of strong laws that protect everyone by default, we get a market of VPNs, data-removal tools, and identity-protection subscriptions. They exist because our data is being harvested and sold. We pay monthly just to feel a little less exposed.
They profit off our fear of messing up, especially when most of us (shoutout Gen Z) were never taught how taxes actually work.
I don’t think anyone can change my mind on this.
Our system creates problems, then sells us the “solutions.” Look at taxes: the IRS already has our info, but companies like TurboTax and H&R Block lobby to keep filing confusing so we’ll pay them to fix it.
These VPN and data removal companies will make more money off of us than they spend lobbying the government.
100% agree. I'm tired of the lobbying happening in this country. Data privacy is the most important thing next to climate change. Honestly, I'm pretty sure that all of these vpn sites and data removal sites are lobbying the government into not allowing data privacy laws.
A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week.
For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead.
One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.
We all need to put one of these in front of our doorstep. Amen to this.
We the non 1% typically have good intentions. The 1% want that data for other things.
If any of us were doing half as much as trump we would all be in prison.
DHS says it didn’t happen. This isn’t a bug to them it’s the policy. They don’t want to verify. They want people gone. A US citizen who was born in Denver. Deported.
American citizens shouldn't even need to do that. What can we do? That's a real question. Can we start the revolution yet? Clearly no one in office is gonna do anything to help any of us. Mm
The rich need to go bye bye.
DHS deported a US citizen to Mexico. Brian Morales is 25 years old who was born in Denver. Pulled over in Texas with his construction crew. Didn’t have his ID on him and told officers he could get his birth certificate, Social Security card, and medical records from home.
The Trump administration fired two immigration judges who dismissed deportation cases against pro-Palestinian international students. The firings of Roopal Patel and Nina Froes are the latest move to reshape the country’s immigration courts.
Carney: "The days of our military sending 70 cents of every dollar to the United States are over."
*thunderous applause*
I hate that my family called me the promise child growing up. It put too much pressure on me. They called me that because I'm supposed to be the one that makes it out of poverty. Yet now those people in my family don't respect me or my education. They think science is a lie... I work in STEM.
History shows whose comfort medicine has prioritized and whose body it puts at risk.
As a girl I was valued a lot for how smart I am and told I was the "promise" child of my family. Now that I've grown up and graduated, my opinion and experience means nothing.
Now I'm just brainwashed....
A self‑regulated male pill could’ve balanced responsibility. Instead, decades of side‑effects in women became normalized while male trials were dropped for “discomfort.” If fairness guided innovation, we’d see birth control as a shared responsibility.
Yet it was women’s bodies science chose to alter. Why? Because pregnancy happens to women, and men didn’t face the consequences. The technology followed the power.
Biologically, birth control might make more sense for men. They produce millions of sperm daily, women release one egg a month. Controlling sperm is simpler one target, countless results.
The pill changed everything: education, careers, relationships. Yet it also normalized women absorbing hormonal risks so men could enjoy consequence-free sex. Liberation came at a cost we still feel today.
Men wont admit they invented birth control to sleep with more women. Why do they shame us?
Birth control gave women power, but also burden. It became their job to prevent pregnancy. The science advanced, but the expectation stayed: her body, her risk, his freedom.
