The world feels rough right now
So please enjoy this shrimp, filmed off Cozumel, Mexico. It may be a larval reef shrimp, but we don’t know what species or how long it lives or what it eats. The world is still full of wonder and beauty and mystery.

This was an armed attack that killed scores of people so Trump’s cronies could have access to the oil.

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

NEW: In 2023, Ohio voters codified reproductive freedom into law. Now, three years later, state Republicans are pushing to oppose the people by pursuing a backdoor ban on abortion that targets telemedicine and Medicaid funding, @susanrinkunas.com writes.

really tired of seeing claims that our illegal kidnapping of the Venezuelan president is to "distract" us from the Epstein files. Trump and the men around him have wanted this for a long time. this is a bad thing in its own right, not some attempt to hide from accountability

Two questions:
1. Do we still have a War Powers Act, which prevents a president from carrying out military aggression without Congress’s consent?
2. Do we still have a Congress?

The challenges we now face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system.
We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump.
We cannot accept the status quo of Big Money dominating our politics and economy.

An unvaccinated person recently visited Ark Encounter, the Creationist attraction in Kentucky.
He then tested positive for measles.
State officials are now warning others they may have been exposed.
This is the logical consequence of science denial.

According to the Center for Immigration Studies, the foreign-born or immigrant population (legal and illegal) in March 2024 was 51.6 million. Thus, if the administration deported 100 million people, it would have to deport roughly 48.4 million U.S. citizens to hit that target. #holdfast #getsmart

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats.
It’s between democracy and oligarchy.
The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re getting the shaft.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.
