Monstrous. A stain on this country forever.

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

Republican wife beaters. The anger is real.

Your tax dollars endorsing and supporting a mafia state government. This is what we get with a felon in the White House.

A black bear and a cub stand on moss-covered rocks in a lush green forest. A quote overlay readss: "I really want to see the Mulchatna caribou herd grow and thrive, but this unscientific and cruel approach of killing every bear in sight across southwest Alaska can’t be the way forward.” It is attributed to Cooper Freeman, Alaska director.

We just filed an emergency legal motion today alongside Alaska Wildlife Alliance seeking to prevent the state from killing an unlimited number of brown and black bears across roughly 40,000 square miles in southwest #Alaska this summer.

“Trump’s former spiritual advisor released from jail after serving just 6 months for molesting a 12 year-old girl.”

Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. This view shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth. Ian Regan processed this version of the image to account for the Moon's motion.

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable.

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.”

AI Slop is like Cocomelon for Boomers and Gen X? Oh, no, it's way worse. YouTube video by Parkrose Permaculture

I posted this vid about scams + propaganda on social media that target older Americans, and my comments are full of Boomers who are really mad at me.

Looking at how propaganda targets Boomers and what policies we need to protect society is not "boomer bashing". The fragility is wild. I'm so tired.

The U.S. Department of Justice has begun connecting its push to obtain sensitive personal data on millions of voters to whether the upcoming midterm elections will be fair and secure, laying the groundwork for the Trump administration to potentially cast doubt on the results. #ncpol

The establishment is in full panic mode.

When they can’t debate ideas, they have to manufacture doubt.

where’s my money 😔

Dark money groups are paying influencers to spread attacks about our campaign.

Voters deserve to know who is trying to manipulate our election.

So weird that the guy they chose to direct the Melania Bribe-Umentary was a Me Too-canceled has been pictured with Epstein and another Epstein-backed child sex trafficker who also *killed himself* in prison

So many coincidences!

Post from InRangeTV - YouTube The list of innocent people murdered by agents of the state is far too long to list in a simple post. None of these people ever received justice. Here are a ...

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

The UK, Canada and Australia are considering banning X.

And yet, the progressive movement and Democratic Party still haven’t figured out how to boycott it.

A nice thread in which an actual expert patiently explains why the Secretary of Health and Human Service is not simply a liar, but an especially stupid one.

Trump's DOJ was monitoring all the movements of the Miami Herald reporter who was covering the Epstein case.

In America, where irony is dead, a hotel chain uses a policy denying shelter to local people, for fear of accidentally housing homeless persons…

To deny a reservation to the author of a much-lauded book on how American economic unfairness forces working people into homelessness.

Various Asheville hotels have done this over the years (and still do). Often it's not a written policy, and can be frustratingly difficult to pin down, but we've seen these stories over the years with some frequency.

The gentry (including plenty of biz owners) here really *hate* the poor.
