A lot of people assumed Corey Booker stopped talking after he broke the filibuster record but he's actually still going. At this moment he's explaining that we never would have had a Fast and the Furious franchise without the trailblazing Gone in 60 Seconds starring Nic Cage

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

Early voting has started in Wisconsin, where Elon Musk is trying to buy another election. Winning on April 1 would secure the liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court through 2028. Help us get out the vote for workers’ rights champion Susan Crawford: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Musk's PAC offers $100 to Wisconsin voters in pitch against "activist judges"
The move reflects how Musk is throwing his considerable wealth behind Trump's priorities — including an upcoming election in Wisconsin for a crucial seat on the state's Supreme Court.

Democrats should NOT negotiate with Trump and his sycophants in Congress. If the Republican majority can’t get their act together to prevent a government shutdown, that’s on them. Democrats need to grow some balls and stand up to Trump’s authoritarianism. Angry posts on social media won’t cut it.

Some are saying Democrats shouldn't attend Donald Trump's State of the Union. I disagree. They should attend. And the minute he starts speaking, start getting up, one-by-one, and solemnly leave the chamber. It will be all anyone talks about the next day. And will drive Donald crazy.

#EconomicBlackout
No Amazon. No Walmart. No Target. No Disney. No Google. No Apple. No Visa or Mastercard. And especially no Facebook or Twitter. Buy essentials such as medicine, food, and emergency supplies, of course, but make those purchases at small, local businesses and use cash. The purpose of today’s economic blackout is to send a clear message: We have the power.

🎉new interview drop with Lyle Lewis & George Tsakraklides 🔥 www.hawaii.edu/vice-versa/i...
The biodiversity that has been destroyed to accommodate human population growth served as the planet's shield against the spread of virulent diseases for all species. The greater the number of humans and their domesticated animals, the higher the likelihood of disease transmission.
Acknowledging the role of 8.2 billion people as the primary factor in more than a dozen existential threats is routinely ignored and denied by our species; infectious disease is no exception. Our capacity for denial of truth has increasingly evolved and expanded.
