“This is so un-American,” Mrs. Clinton said. “They are on a mission to undo the 250-year-old experiment of creating a country based on the idea that we are all created equal.”
We are in an all-hands-on-deck moment for women across the world.

I spoke to the @nytimes.com about the strong forces trying to turn the clocks back and how we can all fight for women's rights and futures.

Lest we forget #Project25
#Christmas#1
Exactly ONE YEAR AGO TODAY (just before the presidential election) we created "Bohemian Trumpsody" ... so now people can play #Project25 bingo with what was in the parody vs what has transpired in the USA in the 365 days since ...

🤣. So good on so many levels.
What do you get when you mix the best selling single of the king of pop with the lately departed queen of MAGA?

This is what we get: a parody of Billie Jean about #mtg #maga #marjorietaylorgreene 🎶🕺

80% of our food crops and wild flowering plants depend on pollination.

Yet one-third of bee, butterfly and hoverfly species is in decline.

Our new EU Pollinator Monitoring Scheme aims to help reverse this trend by 2030.

Media bosses may also need to watch their bottom lines. Subscribers are not beholden to said ball!
Trump is insulting and seeking to intimidate reporters. He's also sending a message to media bosses: you better play ball.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

Absolutely outrageous that taxpayers are paying Republican political consultants millions of dollars to make hype videos for Kristi Noem’s 2028 campaign for president or VP, which is what this is all about. www.propublica.org/article/kris...

How many of those have we cancelled recently… I know I use two of those but used more this time last year. If anything the jolt is welcome.
As @rbreich.bsky.social notes billionaires and their families own X, Paramount, CBS, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, the Washington Post, Amazon, MGM, Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and New York Post, and could soon own Warner Bros and CNN

And they are all Trump supporters

@thetnholler.bsky.social re your post on immigrants & profit, what are your thoughts on DHS harvesting DNA aswell ?
www.regulations.gov/document/USC...

Why would DHS need your DNA or your ocular profile to determine citizenship?

Beginning to sound a lot like eugenics to me.

Mark Zuckerberg’s Palo Alto neighbors complained about the noise, the presence of security and the hordes of traffic. Then, neighbors noticed that an unlicensed school appeared to be operating out of the Zuckerberg compound. They began a crusade to shut it down that did not end until summer 2025.
