60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life.
Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever.
Our problem isn't a lack of resources.
Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

The first thing I noticed was how fast this swallow flew. When it landed, I noticed the white cheeks and green back. I was thrilled to realize that it was a Violet-green Swallow. They are stunning!

There is not much in this world cuter than a baby horned lizard (aka "horny toad," but of course they're not toads, which are amphibians not reptiles). This adorable little grump is a Greater Short-horned Lizard (Phrynosoma hernandesi). Pryor Mountains, Montana. Cuteness: 12/10 🌿 #herps #reptiles

The state of Georgia is using the body of a brain-dead woman as an incubator. Because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died, and their abortion ban is from about 6 weeks, they are sustaining her on life support, without input from her family, until 32 weeks of gestation. A true dystopian nightmare.

@sarahmackattack.bsky.social, I pulled over on the side of the road to take a picture of this La Paz street art for you. It's on the side of a bicycle repair shop.

Fear of a massive electoral wipeout is, quite literally, the only thing that has any chance of getting GOP reps to break w Trump. Spread the word. Keep protesting. Keep calling. Go to town halls. Put the fear of god in these fuckers.
uhhhh it looks like Dems just flipped a R+17 Pennsylvania State Senate seat in Amish country…

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

The Academy has announced that Oscar voters will actually have to watch all the movies in a category before making their final-round picks. It's on the honor system, but hey, it's a start.
