Elon Musk is now worth over $800 billion.
Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.
Meanwhile, millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...
"How will you pay for it?"
The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...
"How much do you need?"
It doesn't have to be this way.
Cannot be said enough that Obama RETURNED Iran's money, $1.7 billion, which a court was about to order anyway, and HE got a deal to freeze and inspect Iran's nuclear sites. This is like building the wall and getting Mexico to pay. Trump gave Iran $14B to return to status quo;they stiffed him!
*no Republican man.
MAGA in a nutshell!
We
If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.
The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”
It’s about control.
Amazing story of a moth once thought extinct being recorded in the wild after 150 years!
This story shows the power of platforms like #inaturalist and the value of a #bioblitz, with this moth recorded during the Great Southern BioBlitz 2021 @gsbioblitz.bsky.social

Went tidepooling today. Saw the best octopus.
Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.
Scott Bessent said Albertans want to become an American state
I don't think they would give up their Universal Healthcare for the system America has
They also have a higher minimum wage than the US, more than double the US.
And Reichsleiter Miller, the rest of his henchmen, & all the Gestapo goons (=ICE & Border Patrol) must be made to answer for their crimes against the American people & the United States, and if convicted, punished to the maximum limit
And keep Merrick Garland far, far away from the entire process
I've lived in Minnesota my whole life and have experienced some major cold snaps but this is the first time I've heard about exploding trees.
No kids should endure this, god damn it!
😭😭😭
FDT!
On January 20th, one year into Trump's second term, do I really need to remind you?

I wonder how many incidents like this have gone unreported? Great reporting here. But the way ICE is operating is shameful beyond belief.
If we’re keeping score, the actual danger isn’t who ICE claims to protect us from, it’s the people enforcing their policies. The statistics speak for themselves.

The same people who said the government was tyrannical for requiring proof of a COVID vaccine are awfully quiet about American citizens being told to carry their papers.

Gerald drops one of the wildest comparisons in this episode.
Supercomputers pull 10–40 megawatts of power. A quantum computer? 35 kilowatts. That’s the difference between powering 50,000 homes a year… and 9 kettles.

Welcome to Rip-Off Britain.

How will Trump’s attacks affect higher education?
Let’s look to history
Germany's universities were the world's premier research institutions
Hitler destroyed them
How long did they take to recover?
They haven’t
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.
For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.
The rich go free with no consequences.
There’s a nonzero chance you will die from a cancer that could have been curable because people who couldn’t pass 7th grade biology and are scared of things like “mRNA” and “riboflavin” and “walkable cities” decided to make their ignorance everybody else’s problem
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
Think about how insane this is. I know we normalize every abnormal thing Trump does, & he floods the zone & numbs us, but a leading media organizing rolling over & agreeing to pay $16m to the president because he didn’t like how they edited an interview?? What country is this?
