A lot of MAGA influencers on X are seeing their engagement PLUMMET today. Even official White House accounts are seeing far fewer defenders in their comments. Why is that?

Zelensky: "When our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations. Because there were fewer bots. It’s pretty clear where those bots were."

Wake up. House Republicans just voted to choke port communities and harm our children with dirtier air. Why? To give Big Oil another handout while YOU keep paying more for gas, back-to-school clothes, diesel, groceries and more thanks to Trump’s disastrous Iran war.

Millions of Americans may not receive their mail ballots in time, or at all, because of a secretive, court-defying system being rushed into place by the Trump administration. Two months before the midterms. This isn't by chance. It's a blatant attempt to steal an election. Share this everywhere.

There’s fresh evidence that the White House set out to punish an American state because it didn’t free a convicted felon the president likes. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” a federal judge said. “I’ve never even imagined something like it.” Shouldn’t this be a bigger scandal?

Bees are disappearing, and our food supply is beginning to collapse. Plants and animals are vanishing, and life is becoming a desert plain. But if humans were to disappear, nature would slowly heal. Rivers would flow more cleanly, forests would grow again, and wildlife would reclaim the Earth.

But here are some quick ones:CALL & EMAIL POLITICIANS (REGULARLY)- Call for stronger environmental laws, increased nature investment, enhanced community consultation, higher tax on super profits and billionaires. - Support real-time political donation disclosure, limits on corporate lobbying, anti-corruption measures and end deceptive political ads. - Advocate for wellbeing budgets: Alternative measures of progress that go beyond GDP. - Subsidy reform: End public subsidies for activities that harm ecosystems and communities. Subsidise activities that regenerate nature (like subsidies for farmers to protect biodiversity or purchase renewables)* Support @davidpocock work around Duty of Care Bill and the Gas Tax (ourgas.com.au) FINANCE & LAW:* Join shareholder activism campaigns: @marketforces @six.invest.au * Support environmental litigation and call for the Rights of Nature (led by indigenous people). @garnglobal @environmentaldefendersoffice INFORMATION & MEDIA* Actively support independent, science-informed journalism and public broadcasters.* Ask critical questions about information sources: Who produced this? Who funded it? Who benefits from its spread? * Media Bias Chart: adfontesmedia.com TECHNOLOGY- Demand strong ethical standards and governance for AI-  Require social media platforms to offer “opt-in” to algorithms.

I lived in this house for 11 years dreaming that someday I'd have flowers planted where there was just dirt and concrete. It was never the best time to do it. Then I got my diagnosis and realized there was no "better time" coming, that whatever life I wanted to live had to be now.
