I knew the U.S. higher education system was a massive draw for foreigners, but I did not know the U.S. sold more educational services to the rest of the world than it did natural gas and coal combined. Great piece by @crampell.bsky.social

The Republicans in NC are trying to overturn an election where the Democrat was already declared the winner by throwing out overseas ballots by members of the military. This is a disgraceful affront to our service members and democracy.

Donald Trump’s vanity knows no bounds. These pictures show two others, Chris Helmsworth and Muhammed Ali who report the same height and weight as Trump claims after his annual physical. Really??

Burning coal is a large source of dirty air and climate change. Now Donald Trump is trying to subsidize coal with taxpayer dollars and destroy renewable energy production for electricity, even though it is cheaper (already) to utilize than coal. Why? For his donors?

It is cheaper to build solar panels or cluster of wind turbines and connect them to the grid than to keep operating coal plants

On the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s incredible historic ride, Boston brought the legend to life in unforgettable style. In the North End, thousands gathered as “Revere” lit the lanterns, rowed across the harbor, and mounted his horse to ride to Lexington and Concord—just as he did in 1775.

Medicaid expansion isn’t just the moral choice –– it’s the economic one. ✅ $704M in budget savings ✅ 230K+ new jobs ✅ $7B in hospital relief ✅ Lower premiums for all The fact is, Medicaid Expansion is fiscally responsible and economically beneficial.

Each time Donald Trump flies to his golf resort, it costs the taxpayers over $13 million. What if we pay him to stay there and he can appoint some sane Republican to set policy that doesn’t destroy our alliances and send the country into economic chaos.

Air travel in the US used to be very safe. There wasn’t a single accident under the Biden Administration. Now there have been several as Elon Musk takes a wrecking ball to the FAA and proposes his satellite company as a partial solution. Disgraceful and dangerous.

Corporations who donated to Republicans were more likely to get tariff exemptions during Trump's first term. Now, tech companies like Apple are getting major tariff carveouts. Who donated $1M to Trump's inauguration? Apple CEO Tim Cook. It's crony capitalism.

They talk about dictators while helping Trump deport people straight back into their hands. Rubio, Salazar, Giménez & Diaz-Balart are enabling human rights violations—against their community. You don’t get to respond to us by placing a pathetic billboard while selling out those who trusted you.

70 years of disaster/hazard research show disasters are NOT equal opportunity events. Studies constantly show that the poor, ethnic minorities, women, children, the elderly, the disabled and others are more likely to be impacted by disasters. Disasters punctuate the importance of understanding DEI.
