dhuartson: Don't let anyone talk you out of spending $15 on a new hobby. That $50 will be the best $400 you ever spent.

This is not wrong.

This IS absolutely what to do!

Fisherman. We're blowing up fishing boats.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

Absolutely incredible.

NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.

Watch with sound on.

Parents of the 168 children murdered by the US government have written to Pope Leo. They wrote of their children and their deep grief.
They thanked him for being a voice for peace.
Meanwhile silence from the White House.
But there is a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in.

Meet Calvin Duncan. In Louisiana, they are trying to strip him of the post he was legally elected to in Orleans Parish. This man was jailed for a crime, exonerated, ran for office, and won. Now, the state is attempting to take that office away from him.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Clause from Montana state Constitution: Individual dignity. The dignity of the human being is inviolable. No person shall be denied the equal protection of the laws. Neither the state nor any person, firm, corporation, or institution shall discriminate against any person in the exercise of his civil or political rights on account of race, color, sex, culture, social origin or condition, or political or religious ideas.

Few would accuse Montana of being a liberal haven. But while conservatives have for years proclaimed the value of personal freedom, Montana actually enshrined it in its constitution. And this perspective led the state Supreme Court to protect transgender identity. (1/2)

MeidasTouch host Katie Phang testifies in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on the proposed merger of Paramount-Skydance and Warner Bros.:

"Democracy cannot survive if powerful people get to decide which facts are allowed to exist and what version of the truth they want to peddle for profit."

"Magyar wasn't engaging in a policy debate... His framing was Viktor Orbán and Fidesz are a criminal organization and we need to dismantle this... he connected the impact of the criminal organization to these rural Hungarians' experience."

Erica Payne, founder of @patrioticmillionaires.org: "Doing it around the edges is what got us this freak show in the WH sending out memes about him being Jesus & getting in a fight with the Pope in a country that prides itself on the separation of church and state. For heaven's sake! Enough already"

“My goal is to instill class consciousness in people, and help them identify who is actually causing harm.”

This is why the billionaires hate Hasan👇🏽

I frankly don't see this administration being capable of doing real diplomacy.

You don't just show up, talk for a few hours, and expect real results.

There is one force more powerful than Trump. My friend Amy Goodman explains.

Imagine trusting science to bring astronauts to the moon and back but not trusting science to develop safe vaccines.

People make fun of government agencies for still being on Flickr but photos produced by the government are copyright-free and I have yet to see a better photo-centric platform for delivering higher resolution photos that anyone can easily download.

In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙

The organisers & singers at the massive Budapest concert told me why Orban has to go.

Do you think that those who work at ICE detention centers should be prosecuted for their inhumane crimes?

Do you think they will be?

Do you think that any of the people who run CBP, ICE, CoreCivic or GEO Group will face charges?

Will anyone be held responsible for #ICELawlessness?

I hope so!
