On this day 80 years ago, Benito Mussolini was executed by an Italian partisan in Giulino di Mezzegra, then hung from the Piazzale Loreto in Milan the following day. Happy Mussolini Execution Day to all who celebrate.

The Social Security system is crashing, locking senior citizens out for long stretches nearly every day. And Trump's solution is to lay off 1000 more workers and slash the IT budget by 50%. Start asking if the purpose is to crash our economy and society. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I’m afraid there’s no way to vote our way out of this. They didn’t even conduct a forensic audit of 2024. This election wasn’t legitimate. Our current elected leaders must impeach & remove. Our scotus must uphold the rule of law. If they don’t, history shows, the only way out involves bloodshed.

hi, are you doomscrolling? So many things are chaotic and unsettling right now. But staying up late doomscrolling will also make things harder. Try to do something offline, go to bed early and charge your phone away from your bedroom. You still deserve time to adequately rest and recover.

Elon Musk pushed out the FAA chief — who resigned 1 year into a 5 year term, last week. Why? Because last year the FAA fined SpaceX $600,000 — for safety violations. Now the FAA has no chief — and we just had the first commercial airline crash in 16 years.

Goddamn.
Three tweets from Clean Air Club an hour ago

Is now a good time to mention that last month over 25 Los Angeles schools rejected our offers of completely free air purifiers for every single classroom on their campuses?

There's a widespread hostility to anyone offering solutions at the intersection of climate change, pandemics, and resource depletion. It was wild to get replies along the lines of "don't contact us ever again" when we were literally offering tens of thousands in free gear

When you try to solve a problem that most people are in denial about, you're going to encounter hostility and gaslighting instead of enthusiasm and solidarity
