I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

@dailyzeitgeist.bsky.social, in 7 years in the UK, I've gotten maybe half a dozen scam calls. I still keep a US number, and that's nothing but scams.

As #ScottishGreens members choose their candidates for Holyrood, here's a reminder of some of my work.
I've done more to turn Green policy into reality than anyone thought possible. I'm asking for members' 1st preference votes to continue that work.

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
What's happened since?
A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

Important thing to beat people over the head with: Trump has turned American cities into warzones and for fucking what? Prices are way up, jobs will be way down, the dollar is worth less, and now the highway is blocked off by cops. Maybe the Great Mythical Immigrant wasn’t the problem after all.

Treat social housing as critical infrastructure to unlock billions, says Peabody boss
Exclusive: Giving social housing same status as roads and energy would mean more investment in sector major providers say is at breaking point
The head of one of the UK’s biggest non-profit housing providers has called for social housing to be classed as “critical national infrastructure”, like roads and energy networks, allowing for billions of pounds in much needed extra investment.
