Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

The reckless Republican budget will be debated on the House floor today.
It represents the largest cut to Medicaid in American history.
Children, families, seniors, hospitals and nursing homes will be devastated.
House Democrats are a Hard NO.

The FAA has agreed to use SpaceX’s Starlink internet system to manage US airspace.
Yet another contract for Elon Musk to profit from while he's slashing funding for others.
The conflict of interest is appalling.

The “stop the hate” commercial featuring two celebrities who support the President who began his career by calling Mexicans rapists and whose biggest campaign donor recently gave a Hitler salute and rehired the “I was racist before it was cool” guy was….a choice.

Luke Farritor is not “letting them die”, he is actively breaking the law and withholding life saving meds from the most vulnerable.
He is actively killing people on Musk’s orders. This is a death squad.
We won’t forget his face or his crimes.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back?
