People used to get shot and disappeared into riverbank mud for just *trying to register people to vote*. And here you are, asking if it's cool if you just...don't vote in one of the easiest voting states in the Union. Yes, it's a fucking problem if you don't fucking vote.

The summer I turned 12, the family was driving home from our mountain vacation cabin when we were suddenly swarmed by migrating Monarchs. My father had to slow the car to a crawl as he pulled into a turnout, where we watched the flock pass for about 5 minutes. My memory of this is still vivid. 😎 🦋

One item in the September jobs report that didn't get the attention it deserves is that jobs in oil drilling keep falling. The industry thinks that if Trump and Netanyahu's Iran war ever ends, oil prices will plummet

The Department of "War" does not need $1.5 trillion dollars, especially as it withdraws from foreign alliances. This is just firehosing money at Defense Contractors.

Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending

it didn't even occur to me that the government might try to execute someone a second time if they torture the person but fail to kill them during a first botched attempt. truly grotesque and a moral stain upon all involved.

Jack Nicholson defined the art of cinematic madness. From the rebellious fire of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" to the terrifying grin in "The Shining," his wild charisma and unmatched intensity rewrote Hollywood history. A true 3-time Oscar-winning icon. 🎬

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

⬇️THIS⬇️, people, is a Very Big Step on the path to AI and the capitalists who back it turning our society into a new hellscape: MODERN FEUDALISM If they succeed, the masses will serve the wealthy few. 'Freedom' will have boundaries that constantly shrink - while wealth gets MORE concentrated.

"It could chill rights of contractors to make political contributions" -- unearthed footage shows Susan Collins in 2012 fighting to protect contractors from having to disclose political contributions (we recently learned she was under investigation for a pay-to-play scheme involving a contractor)

Vote for Angie Nixon Florida! JD can go to hell for his racism and misogyny. Ashley Moody can join him there. She helped Hope Florida steal $10M from poor children in order to thwart the will of the people over legalizing recreational marijuana in FL. Angie works for the people, not against us!

When climate scientists say things are going to be horrendous, people find out many years later that we’re right. With this El Niño, the “find out” part will come in months.

We are paying CNN and MS NOW to run ads for Donald Trump right before the midterms. You and I are paying for them. And CNN and MS NOW are taking the cash while their hosts and guests say the scheme is illegal. That is the current state of corporate media in America.
