I don't think I can say this enough: the environmental movement has lost its way.

Environmentalism is not about sustainability and finding substitutes for fossil fuels in solar, wind, etc.

Environmentalism is about saving as much of the planet as possible, about preserving our beautiful home.

Stop calling Trump’s nominees “loyalists.” They are henchmen.

As we’ve reported on sexual misconduct by OB-GYNs, we’ve learned that many women felt they didn’t know what was normal during a visit, or didn’t know what they could do to speak up.

We created this guide to help fill this gap. 👇

Even if you're not moved by the argument that Twitter is a rightwing cesspool thanks to its redpilled owner, the fact that foreign enemies are expressing concern that they won't be able to use Twitter to manipulate Americans anymore should be enough to warrant the exodus.
If you needed even MORE of a reason to switch to Bluesky, China is "troubled" by the fact that they've invested so much time on Twitter buying ads, bots, and influencers... only to see the people they're seeking to manipulate (us) flee the site.

As any of my previous followers are well aware, the devastation caused by “corporatization of medicine” cannot be overstated. It is about the quality of care we are “allowed” to give and why we prefer Moral Injury over the term Burnout.

This is a movement that is long overdue.
Nearly 300 primary care physicians employed by Mass General Brigham have notified federal authorities that they want to join a union, citing “burnout” and the “corporatization of medicine” at the state’s largest health system.

The doctors comprise the vast majority of primary care physicians employed by Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

This is one (minor) reason I drive an EV pickup. You can drive your car! In fact, you can drive a much better one! Also, here's a discount! The single greatest sin of the left (climate, cultural, otherwise) is framing in terms of restriction instead of abundance.
