Since Congress’s allotted funds have already been improperly unallocated, U.S. citizens are questioning whether they are legally required to continue paying federal taxes.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

There is no more important story that needs your attention than the fact that the GOP is trying to steal a North Carolina Supreme Court seat.

I remain as convinced today as I was five years ago that there is a need for an outlet that is fiercely independent and unapologetically pro-democracy. I am certain that Democracy Docket is uniquely situated to help fill that gap.

Check it out.

The censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by roughly 95%, and seriously, who does that to a wildlife biology & advocacy group ?

The real reason the next president wants to put a huge tariff on goods from Mexico: This car company will soon be producing electric cars that compete favorably with $30k teslas that sell for only $8k. Even if the price doubles for the US market, it will still blow tesla out of market share.
This woman is our role model.

We were seeing a 98% drop in exposure over on Twitter. The censorship was so extreme we thought it best to start over somewhere else. We chose Bluesky.

I embarrassed my mother over a racist email thread she forwarded many years ago. It was totally worth it.
You're goddamn right I did. And I'd do it again. I have no patience or tolerance for racism or bigotry. He learned that lesson in an embarrassing way.

Stand up for what's right, you'll never feel bad about yourself when you do. &:^)

This is class warfare, waged from the billionaire class. The recession that comes under the next president is by design. Billionaires like inflation and recession. Inflation reduces the recurring costs of long term debt, while recession reduces current costs of staffing. The middle class suffers.
Billionaires work very hard to keep the peasants distracted and divided so they never notice how badly they’re being SCREWED and unite against the billionaires.

Good list of science and nature books. Most are nonfiction, but not all. Additional list from WRI in the comments.
I was deeply disappointed by the lack of nature/science/climate/enviro on many major end-of-year book lists—so I decided to make my own!

Billionaires are bowing down.
Media figures are bending a knee.
Public figures want to accommodate.

It is up to us to form a new opposition.
We will not back down. We must not obey.

Good morning, Blue Sky.

Being resilient is easier when you're surrounded by the right people.

Build communities that make you smarter and tougher for the battles ahead.

Never give up hope. Never stop fighting for what is right. And just.

Whatever comes our way, we will face it together.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.

Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.

Who’s with me?
