#LaborDay
Absolutely! Thank each one of you for your hard work bringing in harvests around the nation. We could never do it without you and without you, we'd be a lot more culturally poor. #LaborDay
βBut the real benefit is seeing how quickly the kelp returns when the urchins are under control β in some cases within a matter of months.β

From public schools to private campuses to universities, no one is safe from gun violence. The only thing that will save lives is common-sense gun laws.
How cool is this? π

At least one-fifth of America's 433 national parks have been significantly strained and understaffed because of steep cuts mandated by Donald Trump.

Welcome news indeed!
Thereβs a persistent myth that new solar farms donβt really help tackle climate change because panels are βmade with coalβ and βnever pay backβ their carbon debt. This is simply false. - UN: solar ~8x cleaner than gas, ~19x than coal per kWh - panels repay CO2 in 4 months; save 57x over life
That costume is outstanding. πππ

Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
This. Most definitely, this. It astounds me the number of ways in which these two terms are misused.
π Truth!
This is absolutely catastrophic for U.S. higher education, and for U.S. global leadership. Just the latest in a series of senseless acts of self-sabotage by a malevolent administration bent on making the United States weak and poor.
"Facts are facts. No matter how much the administration tries to prop up the fossil fuel industry, US states, cities, communities, businesses and institutions know that the world is not as Trump defines it." Former EPA administrator Gina McCarthy gives us the hope we need right now π
Haha! π
I especially appreciate the fucking nonsense. π

Words cannot adequately describe what a colossal disappointment our mainstream media has been during our slow descent into authoritarianism.

"Abject failure" is a good start. The truth started its current struggle to remain relevant (and in the fore) leading up to, and during, the 2016 presidential and quickly lost its footing after. Once you make delusions the "truth", it's all downhill from there. π€¬
You have that right, Jack. All the profanity and lament in the world still leaves me wanting. I do like "colossal disappointment" tho...
Exactly.

Climate deniers remind me of Jack Nicholson's iconic scene as Col. Nathan R. Jessep in "A Few Good Men": they can't handle the truth. Denying what's unfolding right before our eyes doesn't make the effects of climate change go away. #ClimateActionNow #ActonClimate

It was too much for too many to cast their vote for a woman, and a Black woman at that, with all the chops the country needed. Mis and disinformation worked et voila, look what we got instead.

Two of the single greatest advances of our lifetimes are mRNA technology and renewable energy tech and somehow the United States is now virulently against both.
Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
Now, that's what I call a food diary! π
