I Stand with Luke. There's no fucking way that I will let people try to get away with saying that they were against this from the beginning. It's not going to happen as long as I am still alive.

"Systemic change is needed 'from the cradle to the grave' of plastic production, use, and disposal," said one expert. "Much more ambitious action from governments and industry transparency is needed to curb this growing global plastics public health crisis."
Lancet: Plastics Could Cost Humanity 83 Million Years of Healthy Life
A study published in the Lancet Planetary Health highlights how humanity's continued reliance on plastics—which are primarily derived from planet-heating fossil fuels—is expected to harm global health over the next couple of decades.

There's a ton of disinformation going around about elections.

Facts:
The federal government has no authority over elections per the Constitution.

Results are certified by States.

Even if lardass invoked Martial Law, Constitution would prevail.

President cannot suspend the Constitution, ever.

De-icing the Earth: a fatal decision
Global ice is melting fast, with major sea level rise and extreme heat locked in unless emissions fall sharply. The window to act is closing.

Family of Alex Pretti, who was shot dead in Minneapolis today, releases statement:

"The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs."

Pretti died after asking a woman he was with if she was OK.

Good died after telling the man who killed her that she wasn’t mad at him.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

ICE is a danger to society.

ICE continues to kill American citizens and wreak havoc on our communities. How many more people need to be badly hurt, or brutally murdered for their domestic terrorism to end?

We must abolish ICE.

Thank you @janecaro.bsky.social for consistently calling our governments to account for neglect of public schools while subsidising the plush educational experiences of the wealthy

Seems fair: how could private schools pay for polo fields if public schools were properly funded?

Labor politicians spruiking their office is a drop off point for donated school supplies. The rage I feel at them cannot be understated. They are causing the issues by destroying public schools.

And all the primary school parents run out to buy tissues, paper towels and whiteboard markers for their kids’ classrooms @janecaro.bsky.social so that the teachers don’t need to buy them out of their own pockets.

Renee Good’s autopsy destroys the self-defense narrative. She wasn’t a danger when Ross fired the fatal shot to her head from the side of her car. DOJ shut down the FBI probe, sidelined MN agents, and targeted MN prosecutors and Good’s widow. This isn’t justice — it’s a cover-up.

It's a big deal for JD Vance to blame the left for ICE violence. It shows he's continuing to give ICE reason to believe they have impunity.

There's a pattern here: Vance is taking on the role of putting a softer face on Stephen Miller's authoritarian police state.

A system that can detain a 5 year old boy has already lost its humanity.

What threat does he pose? Juice boxes? Bedtime? What?

There is no version of justice that includes detaining a 5yr old year. Detaining a child isn’t law and order. It’s moral collapse.

I’ve decided my next door neighbor is too weak to adequately defend his home and I’m tired of this neighborhood watch stuff. For all the years that I’ve watched over his house, he owes me. The ungrateful shit. I’m demanding he sign his house over to me. If I have to protect it, I should own it!
