60 countries ratified to create protection zones in international waters for marine conservation. Countries like Australia have signed on, but not yet ratified. This is still a big win! 🥰 Ask your leaders about making protected areas.

To be clear on what they're proposing: human beings using water for drinking, washing, and growing crops will be rationed.
The AI datacenters will have all the water they can contaminate.

Some places will have to start rationing water - to enable AI slop.

“But Superman, stopping that country from invading another was politically fraught”
“THEY WERE GOING TO KILL PEOPLE!!!!”
James Gunn made a movie that says this: people worrying about politics are not the heroes. The people trying to stop mass murder are the heroes.

It’s a concentration camp and they plan on killing people there.
250 people detained in the Florida Everglades have no criminal convictions or pending charges.

This is the shit that absolutely breaks me. That people could be so heartless as to celebrate and mock the death of a child simply because she's trans. People really don't understand the sheer level of hate people have for trans people.

Rich US colonists wanted to keep more money in their pockets & rule without interference from England.
Most of them wanted to maintain a slave society.
AND settlers wanted to cross the Royal Proclamation Line to seize more Native Lands.
That's why they rebelled.

A child dies of malnutrition every 15 seconds, as close to 200 THOUSAND boxes of special food specifically for starving children sit idle in Rhode Island due to Trump’s funding and aid cuts. They are spending significantly MORE taxpayer money to do this than to just distribute the food.

One thing I really think needs to be hammered into “libertarians” & other right wing freaks is the cost of helping other people is almost always less than the cost of not helping them. Because we live in a society & we are all connected & you are SO MUCH CLOSER to being sick and poor than you think!

I am getting multiple reports that the Trump admin is NOT complying with the court order requiring passport updates for transgender people.
Some passport agencies are being told not to give trans people passports with their correct gender marker, for now.

Fundamentally, American media culture places more prestige on being wrong cleverly than being right simply. They’ll spend 50,000 words sucking off a Nazi with a polysyllabic vocabulary before they interview the nice lady who volunteers at the animal shelter because she likes dogs.
