I'm from #Iceland, deeply passionate about #climate issues. As a #humanist and #atheist, I embrace a worldview centered on reason, compassion, and evidence, while remaining open to the many facets that define me.

Reagan believed free trade was vital for growth, warning that tariffs and protectionism hurt everyone, including the U.S. He talked tough against unfair foreign practices, but only used tariffs as a “necessary evil” when diplomacy failed. Bottom line: Reagan preferred open markets, not trade wars.

Been warning about that. Can’t wait for the headlines explaining how ‘technically’ this still counts as democracy - even as it’s blatantly rigged.

Hope people are realizing that rigging the 2026 and 2028 elections have always been the plan.

What strikes me as odd is that companies and individuals are donating to build the ballroom. To me, that reeks of corruption.

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett @crockett.house.gov · 3d

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

It's not common, but I understand when someone calls out conservatives who deny climate science, whether it’s a scientist or anyone else.

Svatli @svatli.bsky.social · 4d

Just for the record, where exactly do you see these "prominent climate scientists posting every hour that conservatives are stupid"? I’ve followed this debate for a long time, and that’s not what I see. Scientists are usually too cautious, but conservatives often complain when someone answers them.

"Viewpoint diversity" about whether human activity is warming the planet, or whether vaccines work, is like "viewpoint diversity" about whether the sky is blue or whether the Earth is round. It falls outside the range of good faith scientific and academic discourse.
