Social media is ADHD realized. Because I want to post obscure facts about my favorite US president (Ulysses S. Grant) and then follow that with a post about how we're actually testing to see if we can nuke huge incoming meteors so we dont go the way of the dinosaurs! And then send TikToks of dogs.

So Trump is withholding SNAP benefits from his constituents and allowing them to starve during a Congressionally-triggered government shutdown, instead of swooping in as the savior to feed his peasants... I mean people? PR win and doing his job? Too good for reality.

Sometimes it’s overwhelming thinking about the United State’s potential, and how it’s being squandered. I’m sure this present government isn’t the dream my grandparents fought tooth and nail to get to from the holocaust.

#energysky Don't neglect local elections!! They make or break climate policy!
NEW: Georgia this fall has 2 statewide races, for 2 seats on its utility commission: These are statewide officials who decide electricity rates, & set future of green energy.
Two GOP incumbents are on ballot, against Dems.
BUT the races are clouded by a convergence of concerns over democracy:

My latest with Heated! Regardless of your thoughts on TikTok, its clearly an effective place for climate and environmental advocacy. More people care about conservation and are against expensive and unnecessary oil drilling than ever, even if its not covered on mainstream media.
This guy got 700,000+ views on TikTok begging media to cover Trump’s push to drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
He asked, we obliged. Read @leahgarden.bsky.social on the great lengths it can take to engage people on one of America’s most remote ecosystems:

Can 2025 be the year we all just finally agree that read-receipts were maliciously created so passive aggressive/weak people can send you a message without any of the burden of communicating like a person?
